Toxic118 1st Gear December 4 Share December 4 After diagnostic test on my car Honda Civic1.8L confirming the gearbox problem I was quoted for $8000 for overhaul gearbox over the phone by Service Advisor from Leng Kee Service. According to him a new gearbox will cost double the price. I said too expensive I don't want to proceed. While at their showroom to collect my car he said he can give me discount but still cost $7000. Then I messaged him regarding the discount offer he lowered the price to $5k after discussing with his superior. But final amount can only be determine once they remove the gearbox. When I ask another service advisor over there he told me typical overhaul of gearbox is around $4k. I end up overhaul at another workshop for $3.8k. My car is 15 years old. Just sharing my experience. ↡ Advertisement 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearbox overhaul is a major job. I need their opinion. I have stopped servicing there for a very long time. But if they quoted me 4k i will give them the business. The first respond from the service advisor is 'wah so long never come here service already' and his attitude immediately change for the worst.

AD opinion? hahahahahahhahahahaha. lots of them run by school boys. seriously the level of AD standard in SG is similar to what you get mentioned by youtube for the american ADs. so many more competent independents out there. look for those whos boss also hands on. less likely to go wrong. probably they will take the car from you and sub out to the independents to fix. cause all the junior mechs at the ADs wont have a clue of how to fix. majority only good at oil change and check battery and wiper fluid levels.😁 Edited December 4 by Mkl22 5 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
