Pay so much

don't let some backstreet cowboy mechanic anyhow do and spoil your pride and joy.

MCF so many stories of shoddy workmanship and bungled repairs.

:D

Drive a Conti you have arrived.

Lousy maintenance your car won't arrive with you.

Whoa, brave siah. Congrats btw. 

Is it ok to ask how much you paid for it? Cos used car dealer peg used car price with current coe prices, it is like daylight robbery. Just give an estimated range if you are not comfortable sharing. 

2014 model?

I don't like to argue on MCF

But how can people say used are dealers are like daylight robbers?

These people talk so much only.

I dare anyone to start a used car business and sell used cars not peg with current COE prices!

I will come and buy the cheap cars from you!

Secondly no one will sell their cars to you cheap in the first place and you will have no cars to sell at all.

Because people selling a car to a dealer will also peg to current COE price.

No one will sell their car at the COE prices they paid.

If anyone selling their cars at old COE prices I will come and buy from you and pay you $5,000 extra!

$5,000 extra!

Talk so easy go and be a used car dealer lah!

:D

To be honest I gave up recommending places for servicing and repair. Cos I dunno you, dunno how competent you are on cars. I tell you why.

Workshops that are high recommended: I go there and realised I have to follow up with my lousy mechanic know how and yet ppl put so much praises about them. 

Workshop that I recommend: Needless to say many ppl comprain about some 5 cent 10 cent issues.

Workshops where ppl spend more time chatting with the customer than doing work on the car: Ppl like it that attention is given to them and not on their cars. This is one weird one. And they sing praises about the place. 

Anyway if your car is the 2014 onwards model take note on the engine's timing chain and tensioner.
