Labor for Servicing Only

[Tanlc]

Hi,

 

Times are bad nowadays and just thinking it is worthwhile to get all the servicing parts, like engine oil, spark plugs, transmission fluid, etc to the specific car workshop which I just pay for labor cost for changing.

 

If so, what are servicing parts to be purchased and where can get them cheap?

 

Also, any car workshop that just provide labor?

[Galantspeedz]

my workshop does. I brought my own sparkplugs, engine oil, ATF fulid and oil filter. I save $100+.

 

I can provide you the workshop but not the price. I dun think is good to reveal the price he gave me

I understand from workshops that prices might be a little higher if u bring your own parts to workshop to do servicing.

 

Apparently I approach a number of workshops and they told me so.

[Tanlc]

Mind PM me the contact and location of the workshop?

 

Btw, where do you buy all those stuffs for servicing?

[Mustank]

that time got one super long thread on this matter

 

conclusion seems to be that the workshop at caltex upper thomson charges $10 to $15 for labour for changing engine oil and engine oil filter and air filter.

 

bring your own spares parts of course

 

i went there, they charged me $15

 

caltex upper thomson is under reno now. so when reopen, hard to say price

You can buy the original parts from the distributor/supplier of your car make (otherwise known as "stockist").

 

Not sure about your car make so can only help you till here.

[Tanlc]

Yeah, I have heard about the Caltex @ Upper Thomson. Wanted to go but got to hear from people here that it is under renovation

 

Where do you usually get your own parts?

I'm driving a 2006 Honda FIT.

 

Any recommendation for getting the parts for servicing?

[Yuan]

For Honda, I believe your stockist is Min Ghee.

everybody's source of parts depend on the make of the vehicle

 

mine is musso pig karp so i go to sin ming to buy

 

you got to post your make, then hopefully others with the same make can shed some light

Hi,

 

I know one workshop that just provide labor, bring ur own things they will do it for u.

You need to drive your car so they can quote you the price. i can give u the address and workshop name.

I understand from workshops that prices might be a little higher if u bring your own parts to workshop to do servicing.

 

Apparently I approach a number of workshops and they told me so.

 

then avoid those WS that impose a surcharge or penalty. plenty of WS in singpore. no worries. that riverview auto is one such shop that impose penalty.

[Galantspeedz]

for normal servicing, especially for a fit, i think is basically straightfoward. Why need to drive car down ar?

[Hamburger]

go read toyota forum and some ppl there swear by river...w, nothing but praise . personally i find them so so . no big deal

[Picanto]

agree with you. just a so so workshop only.

I am also driving a 2006 honda Fit. Going for 80k servicing. Any good workshop to recommend that can allow me to bring my own parts and only charge me labour?

 

I think 80k is like 40k servicing, need to change and check many parts. Last time 40k, went to Riverview, penalty for bring own engine oil. In the end, use their engine oil and total bill $300++. :(

 

Think this time, need to look for other workshops that just charge labour.

 

Btw, do those stockist automatically know what are the items that we need to buy for 80k servicing or do we need to tell them the type of items that we need to buy?
