Not Many Know That Raffi Ahmad, Andre Taulany, and Gofar Hilman Entrust Their Classic Cars to This One Workshop

Kapanlagi.com - Having a hobby in automotive, especially for classic car enthusiasts, requires more time and money to maintain them. Therefore, having a trusted workshop for their maintenance is crucial for classic car enthusiasts.

This is what several celebrities such as Andre Taulany, Gofar Hilman, Gading Marteng, and Raffi Ahmad do. To fulfill this need, they entrust their classic cars to a workshop owned by a man named Hendy Wirawan Suprapto.

1. Celebrities' Choice

When met at his workshop in Ciledug, Tangerang (25/5) on Thursday afternoon, Hendy explained how his workshop has become a favorite among celebrities.

"It's all word of mouth, from friend to friend. For example, Gading's friend recommended this workshop because it's neat. Moreover, we handle all four of Gading's cars," said Hendy.

2. Always Facing Challenges

One of the challenges in maintaining classic cars is the difficulty in finding spare parts. Therefore, Hendy explained that if the required spare parts are not available in the market, he prefers to make them himself.

"Usually, we buy (hard-to-find spare parts) from eBay, because the cars here are considered rare. Looking for (spare parts) here will not yield results, and if we look outside the country, alhamdulillah if we find them. If not, we make (produce) them ourselves," he said.

3. Always Neat Work

In addition, these artists usually do not only come once to his workshop. According to him, this is because the work results from his workshop are not only neat, but the working time is relatively short.

"Usually (artists) come more than once like Gading Marten and Gofar Hilman," he said.

"Maybe it's because of the duration of the work, so one car is usually finished in one or one and a half months. It depends on the materials (spare parts)," he added.
