Thomson Caltex Servicing

[Vextan]

Hey bros,

i just cme back from thomson caltex servicing center. It's really a fast job paid 30bucks as i also bring my spark plug to change it and coolant. Think it's really worth it if u just do the 10k servicing he say it's 15bucks for that.

thats cheap. you brought your own parts from stockist ?

[Adrianli]

Glad that u like their service. I always bring my own stuff for my servicings.

[Weesern]

r they still charging $15 for changing of oil and filter?

Hey guys. I have been checking this forum out for the cheapest and best servicing lobang.

 

But recently i found Yew Tee Industrial Estate. Cheap and good service. Good for those staying around the area!

 

Labour for Oil, oil filter and spark plugs change is only $12! Including checking of basic fluids and blowing of air filter upon request.

 

Can get cheap car parts and accessories in that area. Denso Iridium spark plugs x 4 only for $60 and Oil filters for just $5. I also just changed my Honda air filter for just $13.

 

Most importantly... they dont any how tell you to change this and that. Good personal service. Cheaper than Thomson

 

 

Edit:

 

Oh ya.. for those interested, the workshop is Blk 1 #387J S(677954)

Nope.

[Mcf777]

went there for servicing. Quoted S$100+ by the Uncle (I hate this type of uncertain quote).

Since im there, ask them to go ahead. Final bill S$120.

 

All the spare parts are provided by me.

The worst thing is, they dont know where my a/c filter is located. In the end, didnt change the a/c filter.

 

Change E/O

Chang ATF

Change air filter

Chang brake fluid

Change steering fluid

Did u ask him for receipt??? He will itemise the services in the receipt. I did my major servicing with him just last mth. Abt $100+ too. Cant recall, receipt in car.

 

 

Change E/O - Brought my own oil as usual

Chang ATF - Brought my own oil

Change air filter - Brought my own

Change spark plugs - Brought my own

Change brake fluid - Use his

Change coolant - Use his

Change steering fluid - Mine electric steering

 

 

[Mcf777]

I got the receipt. Didnt itemise.

Yours includes free coolant and brake fluid which worth S$20-S$30. Mine is only labour.

They are open on Sunday. This is the only exception if i will to visit them again.

 

For that same amount of price, i would rather go to WS with air-con lounge and free kopi and sit down comfortably to access my notebook.

See attached scanned pic of my bill. I went to my car and get it. Sorry, dont know much abt my company's high tech copier so scanning missing the below portion, which is the total price.

 

But u can calculate, the total price was $245. I changed my battery too. I find it cheap for an Amaron batt.

[Adrianli]

Just to clarify, the $20 engine oil change in my bill is actually :

 

$15 for engine oil change and $5 for spark plug change. If you dont need change spark plug, its $15 only for engine oil change.

 

 

I will still visit him for my servicing. I find his price reasonable. Somemore, no GST.

[Club21z]

Visited the workshop Blk 1 #387J S(677954) forgot the name of shop.

 

EO labour change $12

spark plug $3.50 each

oil filter $6

wiper $16 per pair

 

Overall is cheap n fast, mechanic also look look see if there's any problem with other area.

Come here if you looking for no frill 10K servicing

 

They also quoted me change timing belt for picanto which is the cheapest price in town i believe.

The Amaron is not that cheap bro. I also changed NS60 for $110 2 weeks ago, at Leong Seng.

I consider it cheap cos my bro told me previously CAS charged him $130+ with GST for that same battery.

 

Since I am there, might as well change it there rather than driving ard scouting for the cheapest battery. If I want the cheapest, I would have driven to scrapyard and get those $20-30 used MF batteries. They are the cheapest I could find!!!
