Seriously, anyone with a car can just forget about going to motec.. Waste time and petrol to even go there.. Went there once to replace a blown bulb at the rear of the car, quoted me $10 for a bulb without installation.. Crazy s--t! Went to nearby Jurong Point 24hrs ntuc extra, bought a pair of bulbs at only less than $4..

 

Most items they sell are also replica, mechanics there do not have any good sense of workmanship or knowledge too..

Save the time up and find other workshop the next day will be a much better idea imho..

just change yourself. after all the service manual states that changing of light bulb is user serviceable. changing fog lamps for example is not because in some cars, you may or may not have to strip the bumper and the bumper clips to get to the fog lamp assembly.

the one good thing i find about motec is the range of LEDs on display outside the shop.

can go there recee and ask prices. other than that, don't waste time to go tuas. -_-

His normal servicing is slightly more expensive than others...

 

For his CAI, I wouldn't dare comment if it is ex or not because it is exclusively done-up by him and also, made to customized.. :) This one would be subjective...

Based on these comments here, that one like Seven-Eleven. Everything we find there will be more expensive than other shops. But then it is a monopoly at that point in time.

I'm thinking of doing my 60k at Star Auto at Chin Bee area near Jurong Point. I also need some repairs like rear left window unable to wind down and rear left auto lock/unlock not working. Anyone got comments on them or better recommendations. One of the reasons I thought of going there is for convenience is bcos its near my worplace. My ride is an 05 Altis.
