Thomson Caltex Servicing

[Chris80]

Does he change fuel filter?

[Boyboy]

that took the WS (another one) abt 20 mins for mine which is inside the fuel tank. so it should not be a problem at all..

 

timing belt i heard is somewhat more "major". not sure if can just do walk-in as he seems to be almost running a one-man show.

[Adrianli]

He has a partner, its a two man show. There is also another guy who operate a aircon service there. He will TCSS with the boss also.

How much he charge for ATF oil change?

[Adrianli]

I dont know. U got to go down n ask or call them.

I just visited him on 26/07/08, he still charge me S$10 leh. Brought my own oil and oil filter. Maybe he know me liao so same price. This is my 10K servicing, will see him again when I hit 20K in 6mths time.

 

He gave me the same good for value service, drain oil -> remove oil filter -> replace oil filter -> top up oil -> check all my car fluids including wiper fluid -> clean air filter -> pay him S$10 and

 

Fuss free servicing.

==========================

 

Did u manage to find out how to change/top-up your CVT fluid???

[Adrianli]

Not yet. That will happen only 1.5yrs down the road when the car hit 40K. But I hear one workshop can do it and have done it for the axio.

[Pisces69]

OK good luck.

 

Maybe that's another problem of having the latest technology. Not many WS know what to do for basic servicing.

 

If u can get buddy buddy with the authorised WS for the PI's that sell Axio, they just might give u some info.

oh gosh i just went down to thomson caltex earlier and the uncle told me they no longer help to change for engine oil...

 

anyone knows where we can go to change? ie. we bring our own oil and just pay for labour charge?

[C2odt1]

hi guys

 

u can try blk 1068 eunos ave 5 #01-217 labor charge at S$13 to change oil filter and engine oil,

 

 

 

cheers

thomson caltex is NOW UNDER RENOVATION

 

don't know where the uncle has shifted to in the meantime. looks like it's JB again for me liao

 

anyone can update on his whereabouts?

[Albeniz]

Side-trek a bit.

 

Does anyone know where I can get Redline Fuel system cleaner at Thomson/ Sin Ming Industrial Park area?

[Ryanyusoff]

but does hawk tayar do servicing for PI cars?coz my ride is an airwave.

[Jimmyzz]

One WS in AMK industrial Park 2, change oil, filter(oil & air), sparkie for $15

[Jayquak]

Side track answer.There isn't any around there.you might need to go to quite a popular shop in Payar lebar to get it.Dunno if you have tried it,but its quite good.

 

Anyway the Caltex is confirmed under serious reno(excavation,knock downs),and i hope that good service uncle will go back there.Dunno if Caltex is going to give up the spot for the n next higher bidder for that service bay..keep our fingers crossed.

After renovation, the rental sure go up to recover the $$.

If uncle fill the pinch or if other willing to pay for the higher rental..

Guess we have to look for other alternatives..

[Modykoh]

both the guy are friendly...still can recon me...as i did servicing donkey years back when the the workshop is still under the car wash...mr Toh.

 

don know after the reno..still still around..?

[Modykoh]

for normal servicing...any w/s can do..

 

Hawk tayar are quite ok in JB...at peak the got 13 brench...now maybe..7-8.
