The RM 999 Autogate Promotion That Led to Headaches

Nowadays, there are many marketing promotions in the market. The autogate industry is no different. You will often see special packages and “limited-time offers” with prices that look too good to be true. But behind these attractive prices, there are often hidden costs, low-quality parts, and poor workmanship.

We recently helped a customer, Mr. Sani, who went through exactly this kind of experience. In the end, he spent more than the normal market price, but received a problematic autogate system that gave him nothing but frustration.

Mr. Sani signed up for an autogate package at a home exhibition. A salesperson approached him and said he was lucky to come on the last day. The company was offering a promotion where he could install a complete autogate system for just RM999. The offer sounded very attractive, and without thinking too much, Mr. Sani signed up on the spot.

The next day, he tried to call the company to book his installation. The company kept saying their appointment slots were full and asked him to wait. It took three weeks before anyone showed up at his house.

When the installers arrived, they told him that the RM999 package only included installation of the new system. To remove the old autogate system, he would need to pay an extra RM350. They only removed the two arms and told him he could continue using the existing panel box because “it still looks new.”

The installation was done by foreign workers with limited experience. The job took more than five hours, and the final result did not feel professionally done. But Mr. Sani just wanted it to work and didn’t complain.

The Auto Gate Problems Began Soon After

Just a few months later, the autogate started having issues.
He called the same company again. Once more, they claimed their appointment slots were full and told him to wait. This time, he waited for almost a month, manually opening and closing the gate every day.

Since the system was still under warranty, Mr. Sani didn’t contact any other company. When the technician finally arrived, they told him the system was struck by lightning and that lightning damage isn’t covered under warranty. He was charged to replace the motherboard.

Three months after the last repair, the remote control stopped working. Once again, the company told him the issue was likely due to a lightning strike, and again, no warranty was given. As before, additional charges would apply.

At this point, Mr. Sani had enough. It had only been six months since the installation, and this was already the second major problem. He decided to refuse their service and started looking for a reliable autogate company instead.

What We Found

Feeling helpless, Mr. Sani got our contact from a neighbour. When we arrived and started troubleshooting, we noticed the motherboard and transformer were in poor condition. Based on the wear and components, it was clear that they were either reused, reconditioned, or second-hand.

Yet Mr. Sani had been charged RM550 for that same motherboard by the previous contractor.
This explained why his autogate system kept breaking down. He thought he was getting a good deal, but in reality, he received low-quality parts, poor installation and no support.

The Real Cost of Cheap Deals

In the end, Mr. Sani spent more money than a normal autogate installation. But instead of getting a good system, he got poor quality, had to deal with long delays and went through months of trouble.

When you choose based only on the lowest price autogate package, you may face:
• Extra hidden charges after installation
• Delayed appointments and poor communication
• Inexperienced workers doing the job
• Low-quality parts that break easily
• No real warranty or after-sales support

Think Twice Before Choosing an Autogate Promotion Package

Mr. Sani’s story is a clear reminder to think twice before signing up for any cheap autogate promotion. While the price may seem attractive at first, it often comes with hidden costs, poor installation, and unreliable after-sales support.

A good autogate company may charge a little more, but you get professional service, proper installation, and a system built with quality and original parts. They install your gate motor the right way, ensure everything works smoothly and most importantly, they stand by their work.

Remember, your autogate is something you use every single day. It provides convenience, security, and peace of mind. It controls access to your home, protects your family and saves you time.
