Thanks for the advice - I don't goto JB.

 

Which workshop do you recommend in SG (preferably on the west side) and which stockist, Autobacs?

 

for toyotas, u can buy KYB. they are OEM for toyota parts. try asking the shop at Waterloo St...their shop is facing the road. Aik Huat Chop

Yes, I was lazy to run around to buy parts and go WS.

Also don't know good WS that will do it for labour only.

T/S forum name is SLS-AMG,if he is driving that car,$840 is nothing,anyway i don't think any SLS need to change their shock aborbers so soon.

I had just checked my record, my Altis 2 x front shock absorbers costs me @ S$ 300/- include labour so estimated include the rear about S$ 600/-.

You want the lead ? I can recommend to you. (Original Toyota Thailand parts drawn from Borneo Motors stockists)

[Skyiet27]

Toyota u can find stockist like fong tat, fong ee, min ghee

 

I used to get parts from them

 

Ws I only go sin ming

 

I Duno about west sorry

 

Autobas??? I stepped in once n find nothing

 

Lol

 

 

[QQDreamer]

even if you go JB because of the low labour cost of bringing your own parts there. You have a risk that the custom will tax your parts also. Pls note

Thanks for the recommendation - it's about the same price as Autosaver - so will probably go with them.

I changed my at agent's ws for $535.

 

I just got a quote from Borneo Motors...$1200 to change all 4 shocks!

 

The only shock they are giving me is when they quoted me that price!

Shock absorbers seems like not a cheap parts to get replaced?! Quote seems to be at least $400 or more!

Japan....

[Ungtiong]

KYB brand around $500++ plus labour replace all 4 shocks....no need to search hard. I went to Soh Bro, he call over the guy from other shop and all done in a few hours. If u want 100% MIJ shock, buy from stockist (can call Yuen Thong, can go their website see what they have..forgot the other shop).
