First time service outside, @20k, which is 1 year.

Well, a good lesson, indeed.

 

It's 5+ years ago and I still remember. Imagine how much it hurts. [laugh]

just curious..was i overcharged for this?

 

Services Package (OWS) - $198

Auto Oil Services - $95

Power steering oil - $30

 

the first thing when i ask about OWS servicing is the price... i left immediately as if i saw a ghost telling me... "$128 just change oil only... "

 

pls don try to be an award winner for being the biggest carrot chopped again...

You buy from where??? When I was driving a Sunny, I purchase my parts from stockist Fong Tat along Serangoon Road, before the indian temple.

 

You might want to get ur parts from stockist in future. :D

Never heard of "high speed tyre rotation" leh. They guys who can do that are those F1 pitcrew, change tyre in less than 6secs flat. [thumbsup]

 

U meant High speed balancing???

buy own parts is the best. wont get chop by WS.

Labour fee high, i dont mind. At least i know I cant measure labour.

But I can compare parts vs parts

 

I learnt my lesson : brake pad S$100 (kanna chop by WS for S$200+. excluding labour)

Somemore, it is a big famous workshop.

 

i had been blind by them. with them for so many years and yet get chop.

what to do, when u trust them, they will chop u even deeper [knife]

To all bros, i just googled online for the car WS that i went to, they seem pretty reputable and reliable, and all along it has been said that their pricing is reasonable, did i really kenna chop?

 

The WS is Hu*t Le* which specialises in japanese and korean cars. I'm sure most of you know which WS this is.

 

From the VOGS forum this WS is also one of the most popular ones to go to for their servicing. They are also stated to be the top WS on sgcarmart for repair and servicing, listed as a recommended merchant, most number of positive reviews, pricing wise reasonable and very honest. I am very confused. Seems like what i read from search results on this forum, sgcarmart, and VOGS is contradictory to what i am reading from all your replies in my own thread?

 

The problem is that the previous owner didn't have any servicing records so it's very frustrating as well for me. Not an expert in this field so really need the advise of you all experienced car owners.

 

I was also watching when they were servicing my car, and saw that they used original toyota parts for my car. It's just that the price i paid took me back by surprise for such a reputable WS, and all my friends claim that i kenna chop.

 

 

WS people also can post in any car forums to give GOOD remarks.....don't believe in everything you read just like our ST paper.

AD parts are expensive,they earn from the parts.I ever ask about aircon filter,change how much?They said $82 for ORIGINAL GENUIUNE TOYOTA PARTS! From then,I ask them not to touch my air con. I go to Autosaver to get the aircon filter,those better grade one at $42,labour is myself.Free of charge. Nowadays if can,I'll do my own servicing. Those can change myself one including light bulb(Front/Rear/Signal),spark plug,air filter,aircon filter.Still learning how to do other change.
