ML Moto & Lube Sdn Bhd — A Kuching legacy of care, one service at a time.
Since 1998, ML Moto & Lube Sdn Bhd has been serving the automotive needs of Kuching families, with every oil change, tune-up, and repair done by the same dedicated team that started it all. Founded by Datuk Lim Chee Seng on Jalan Borneo, this family-run business has grown from a small garage to a trusted name in Sarawak’s automotive care — passed down through two generations of hands-on expertise.
Our story
Datuk Lim Chee Seng opened the first ML Moto & Lube in 1998 on Jalan Borneo, Kuching, specializing in high-quality lube services tailored for Sarawak's tropical climate and challenging road conditions. His son, Lim Kok Wai, took over the business in 2015 and continues to uphold his father’s commitment to reliability and personal attention. Over the years, they’ve built a reputation for being the go-to garage where locals know both the mechanics and the family.
