Would You Send Your Car To JB For Servicing and Repairing?

[Ryanyusoff]

so far no recommendations by any bros here?

 

i've got a phobia of JB workshops as generally,once they see SG plate, the pricelist will auto change. and the irritating part is I have to stand around the whole time as anything can happen to your car while them not taking any responsibility..

[Simpleonly]

Then dun do... Hahahahha

[Darryn]

It all depend on what you are replacing in workshop in JB.

If you compare a Top Overhaul in Singapore Around $1500 vs JB RM1500

 

I myself had been sending my car for repair and servicing in JB workshop since my first car until now 4th.

So far so good, and i only switch between 2 workshop.

1 near to Custom and 1 in Setia Indah.

 

Recently i purchase some part in singapore and had it replace in JB workshop.

 

Pay labour for Change of 3 Unit Engine Mounting, Change EO and Filter, Change GearBox Oil, Change Front Rotor & Brake Pad, Change extractor gasket seal. ( Part i purchase myself )

 

Labour RM180.

 

SG Workshop - Just Change the Engine Mounting already cost $150nett.

 

So if you are going to workshop in JB, make sure you know them well or bring by your friend whom had been there many time.

[TVT]

No lah...

 

Cos I often pass by that row of shophouses on my way to/from Taman Setia Indah to/from Jusco Tebrau or makan at those eateries along Taman Mount Austin. The orange colour tyre shop is very prominent along that stretch of road....

The aircon gas top-up is RM60.

* do take note that the mechanic advised that the reason for top-up is because there is some leaks in the aircon. So they would not be able to say how long this top-up can last.

* the top-up was done on 18Feb2014, and so far the aircon is ok. Hope it can last for another 10-11 months.

 

Background info :

Recently my car aircon was suddenly not cooling after a long drive. I remembered the same problem was resolved after top-up aircon gas in Mar2013. At that time, a mechanic had advised that the evaporator coil may be leaking, and need to remove the dashboard to replace the evaporator coil. Estimated costs S$800~S$900. He offered to top-up gas and monitor.

Since the top-up gas can last from Mar2013 to Feb2014, the leaks may not be very critical. I am prepared to top-up gas instead of major repair [remove dashboard ].

* Amazon USA is selling those DIY aircon recharge kits, but these are prohibited from air transportation. Otherwise, can DIY top-up aircon gas.

My car aircon is not cooling again on 21/3/2014, about a month since the gas top-up at Hawk Tayar.

Decided to go to Mark Cool [Ah Huat] for another top-up. Gas + oil = S$30. About 15 mins job. I was impressed that he use an aircon charging unit attached via 2 aircon hoses to the car. There was a vacuuming stage, which when completed triggered an alarm, so that Ah Huat can come over [working on another car] to press some control button to charge in the gas/oil. Again, let hope the gas top-up can last longer.

If your cooling coil is spoil, then the gas (top-up at Markcool) would last even shorter than the previous top-up (at Hawk Tayar).
