Divers 2nd Gear February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 (edited) I share my story also. My aircon have the "rattling sound" when accelerate. Went to Lucky. Checked and dismantle the compressor. After checking, say need to change whole compressor. Cannot rescue. Quote me $660/- brand new. Recon $380. I felt he is pushing me to change to recon. I think he is trying to sell off his recon compressor. Can see a lot of recon compressor in his shop. I told him consider first. After seeing me that I am not going to change. He charge me labour $80. I am ok with paying the labour. I want to ask if labour of $80 market price? There was another customer in the shop and he also recommended recon compressor to him. TO add on: I have enquire with few shops. Tomika: Brand new 700+ recon 300+ L & Kim: Brand new 600+ recon 320. Mark cool: brand new 1000+ recon 300+ Shop that diagonse the problem wrongly: brand new $550 Edited February 7, 2015 by Divers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding, common Jap cars use Denso compressors. How many years left for yr car? Check with Denso dealers. http://www.denso.com.sg/index.php/dealers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding, I take absorber for example. Like absorber with mazda logo, I consider original . Kyb is OEM. To be exact, I called 5 stockists. 3 never carry. 2 carry original . I will call Ang bro, tanly and Ming ghee Am I correct? I would want to get OEM compressor as long as it gets running . My ride left 5 years. You mentioned common jap cars use denso compressor.

Donut Supercharged February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 Ok. To clarify. From my understanding, I take absorber for example. Like absorber with mazda logo, I consider original . Kyb is OEM. Am I correct? I would want to get OEM compressor as long as it gets running . My ride left 5 years. You mentioned common jap cars use denso compressor. Now then I know. Tks. yeah, u can actually see the brand on your compressor. just shine a torch on the compressor and look around. My ride is Honda and i can see its Denso compressor. Car manufacturers don't make their own air con compressors. All are outsourced 3rd party brands. So to me, as long as u get back the same brand and model, its totally fine. Don't get conned by those WS say simi original, OEM... all BS one. And beware of those famous WS. They are the ones with the biggest knives. They are so popular that they anyhow whack the price and give wrong diagnosis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those famous shops sometimes anyhow diagnose due to too many customers as they don't have time to make thorough checks. I will not go n_ _ luck again based on my own experience. Old snake.

Forte3737 5th Gear February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 I would say the famous ones are Markcool Tomika Motoaire (I have been to this one, wanted to charge me $40 for simple diagnosis fee. The boss and me have a heated debate. In the end, I top up gas and pay him $40). In my opinion, not as good as reviews stated. yeah, u can actually see the brand on your compressor. just shine a torch on the compressor and look around.

Kb27 Supersonic February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 Motoaire (I have been to this one, wanted to charge me $40 for simple diagnosis fee. The boss and me have a heated debate. In the end, I top up gas and pay him $40). In my opinion, not as good as reviews stated. The last time I went there, I say a sign, stating charge for diagnosis. Perhaps it's due to misunderstanding that diagnosis and mechanic/workshop time is free to everyone who comes in. Workshops are operating a business. When you come in and occupy a space, some other customers have to wait or sometimes they go away and it's a business lost. Unfortunately, I think many people thinks their time is free and refused to pay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
