[Aaron_soh80]

coz picanto thinks one ws is very expensive.. but TS's wk is really

 

 

Picanto already tender his resignation for MCF liao..

[Mits_jc]

installation of frnt n back was $80 for me when i brought my own shocks to install at HL.

 

i believe that is reasonable, because the work involved is kind of tedious.

 

think must do some homework before you go down any workshop la ...

i got a quote from h**t L** on shock aborbers recently ... 2xfront 260, 2xback 240 include labour ... cheap?

anyway, i put on hold till i get more market survey

[Silver_blade]

what's the difference between oil filter and fuel filter?

One is for engine oil and the other for fuel/petrol.

One is for engine oil and the other for fuel/petrol.

 

oil filter to change every servicing at 10k, while fuel filter to change during major at 40k, 80k ....... correct me if i'm wrong

If reputation like this kind who charges by the bloody per spark plugs install... that means its a carrot factory...who parades itself with clean and big welcoming doors like McDonalds famous double arches...

 

P/S: to each his own who his money ends up with...

 

yea... imo its carrot shop... but den again... many rich and i heard even overseas owners bring their car in for mods and such..

 

no prizes for the shop name as i wont say a thing..

Hi all,

just bought a 2nd hand 2.5 year old axio with 50k mileage and recently send the car to a highly recommended workshop for servicing

 

the bill went to 735 sgd... not sure if it was worth the $$, please advise if i was overcharged

 

service w/ FOC balancing of tyres and handbrake = 130

engine filter = 30

Orginal toyota CVT transmission oil = 110

orginal air filter = 35

coolent change = 65

engine flush = 25

aircon flush = 160

change of front tyres = 2 x 90 = 180

 

- it was claim that the CVT oil used by the previous owner is not tht correct one, with potential damage to the gear box

- the aircon "oil" was low and if we did not top-up, the compressor will spoilt and will cause 600 sgd easily. hence they recommended a aircon flush with coolent top-up

- the front tyres was more worn out compared to the rear tyres and we change the front tyres, (although i heard that we could easily swap the front tyres with the rear so as to increase the life span of the tyres)

 

 

 

 

 

went

 

One servicing at $555, excluding tyres? Sure got chopped. I paid package of $998 to AD for 4 servicing inclusive of parts. I just finsihed my 2nd package at 130K mileage. Hence my servicing cost to-date only $998x2 from day one excluding tyres and battery.

hU** L** used to be very cheap... $100 for Motul normal 5w30 oil, with oil filter, handbrakes and tyre rotation...

[Blackyv]

walau.... so chialat..... looks like i have to look around again for a "better" ws... any good reco from bro here??.. and to weixiang, u dont have to reco your choice since i wont go there as well in case u wish to reco me .... .........

 

perhaps i should call and ask for more detail before going to them for my 80K in a couple of mths time........although i have been with them for a few rounds, i still can accept their "cost" but TS's encounter makes me think twice with such ws ...... and i did 'sense" that they like to reco this and that change but not too much to me but frequent to my bil...

 

 

any option is try autosaver.......
