Just come across this car workshop via their pamphlet thrown on my car. They provide free pick-up and drop-off to/fro nearest MRT station. Not bad But I'm also concern about their service quality and price. Anyone sent their car there for servicing before?

No more free servicing liao for my Sylphy, going for 20k servicing soon. Can I check with those with the experience here if I am able to bring my own oil filter & air filter? How much can I save by doing so?

Any other alternatives? I suppose warranty will void if go service other workshops?

With its decades of experience working with high-end supercars, Hong Seh Motors brings its Authorised Dealer level of service to you at a reasonable cost. There are thousands of car workshops in Singapore - some aim to offer the lowest prices, some specialise on body work, and some tackle complicated repairs. Spoilt by so many choices, how then do you know which workshop to entrust your car to? For most owners of new cars, it isn't difficult - the Authorised Dealers will handle it. But what if your car runs out of warranty and complimentary servicing packages, and you still want that top-tier service standard without paying through your nose? With Hong Seh Motors, that is exactly what you will get. Decades of experience as a supercar Authorised Dealer - Hong Seh Motors Unlike your typical workshops, Hong Seh Motors was the former authorised dealer of Ferrari and Maserati cars in Singapore that has decades of experience in the industry - it clinched the Ferrari distributorship here back in 1983. There are plenty of differences between an authorised dealer workshop and a typical workshop, and it all lies in the facility, equipment, skill level of technicians and the level of service that you’ll receive. Due to the close working relationship between authorised dealers and car manufacturers, they are held to a certain standard. In fact, it is common practice for the technicians and mechanics to receive training from the manufacturer before they are certified to work on the cars. And you can just imagine how stringent the training would be when it comes to supercar manufacturers. Skilled technicians aside, authorised dealers are also required to be equipped with quality equipment and tools. As an ex-authorised dealer workshop that works on supercars, Hong Seh has invested in top-of-the-line equipment to ensure the best quality work possible. It recently invested $2 million on its workshop and equipment to ensure top-tier work on its client’s cars. Among its equipment is a chassis alignment measuring robotic arm and jig from Carbench, making it the only bodyshop in Singapore to be authorised by Carbench. Carbench is an Italian brand that produces equipment that are used by manufacturers such as Maserati, Jaguar, Ferrari, Porsche and Tesla. Hong Seh also has an environmentally friendly paint shop, which includes an electric paint booth from Saima, and uses PPG water-based paint - its paint shop is authorised by PPG (the same brand of paint that Ferrari uses). With these equipment, Hong Seh is a workshop that is capable of complete refurbishment of cars to a standard expected of an authorised dealer. Not just supercars - Hong Seh Motors has the capabilities to work on all cars including EVs With Hong Seh Motors’ experience working on supercars, there’s no job too big or intricate for the team to resolve. Hong Seh Motors Service Centre is a one-stop shop that can work on anything from a simple routine servicing, pre-purchase inspections, to wheel alignments, engine overhauls, body repairs, paintwork, accident claims, tyre replacement and even a full classic car restoration. Its team consists of mechanics who have been working with the company for over 20 years. On top of the rich experience that its team has, Hong Seh Motors has also kept up with the times and is fully capable of working on EVs. The team is IMI trained to work on EVs, and is equipped with the necessary tools for working on high-voltage systems. As such, it is able to work on the high-voltage EV systems, including diagnosis and repairs of EV batteries. As Hong Seh Motors also has its own car leasing department, it has been working on cars of all makes and model. Hence, no matter what car you drive, you can be rest assured that Hong Seh would be able to resolve your issue. Reasonably priced services with top-tier workmanship Getting skilled mechanics to work on your car with quality equipment and parts might sound expensive, but it isn’t the case here. Hong Seh Motors insists on two main things: it always emphasises on quality, no matter how small the job is, or how tough it could be, and it promises to provide an authorised dealer level of service at a reasonable price. Yet another perk of going to a workshop that adopts an authorised dealer’s approach would be its clear and transparent processes - with everything properly explained to you, there’s no worries of hidden charges or any shock when you get your bill. Hong Seh Motors is located at 10 Fourth Lok Yang Road, Singapore 629707. It is open on Mondays to Fridays, from 8:15am to 6:00pm. Staying or working in the West? Hong Seh is a top contender to consider for your automotive needs. You can find out more and book an appointment with Hong Seh Motors at its website.

Hi, My car is 3years old. I have used up all the servicing credits from C&C. Is there any Kia K3 owner that send their rides for major/normal servicing out of C&C that can bring our own engine oil? Need some recommendation. Thanks

Hi guys, recently just participated the contest on sgCarMart. The one that have the ipad as the grand prize one. Hope to win something, but in the end no one called yet. So i think i never win lah.

I saw there is a very positive review on the 0W-40. Anyone have any take on this engine oil?

Is it a myth to change engine oil every six months? Recently, I have received a message from my buddy and asking if it is a myth to change engine oil every six month? So some of you might be wondering, during this covid-19 period, my car mileage is not maximised until 10K, and do I still need to do an engine oil change? The dangers of not changing your oil Oil will break down over time due to high temperatures in the engine (known as thermal breakdown). Because of this, the oil isn’t capable of providing the necessary lubrication for metal parts after an extended period of use. Without lubrication, the moving joints in the engine will start rubbing against each other and cause premature wear. Oil also has a limited capacity on how much particulates it can hold. By not changing the oil, particles already in the oil will begin to settle and cause corrosion. One of the biggest dangers of not changing your oil is sludge buildup. Sludge occurs when old oil begins to gel or solidify in an engine. When sludge begins to build up, oil isn’t able to flow freely through the engine and can cause oil starvation to crankshafts, bearings, camshafts, and other valve train components not be lubricated. In time, this can cause major damage to the engine and, in the worst situations, require an engine replacement or rebuild. Choose Motul H-Tech 100 during this period! If you are one of the drivers who have a significant change in your lifestyle recently, you have been wfh more often, you can consider the Motul H-Tech 100 series. It comes in a lot of viscosity to suits your car requirement. And It provide excellent fuel-economy and engine protection. 5W30 Plus 0W-20 Plus 10W-40 10W-40 Plus 5W-30 Prime 5W-40 Plus 0W40 If you have been experiencing sluggish performance from your car lately, you can also consider Motul Engine Clean. Buy here.

Hi all, Need your advise on this; I did a servicing recently at a workshop in Ubi area. Decided to check the engine oil about 3-4days later, found that it was dark. Didn't think too much of it until my colleague saw and commented that the color was too dark. Compared his over 10years old car engine oil which was due for servicing, and the colors actually look similar. I contacted the workshop about this, and the boss and worker start telling me that the engine oil color is normal. They specifically say that only a clean/overhaul engine will have clean engine oil... It actually sounds bulls**tty to me, but I need advise on this. You can see the attached image of the engine oil, 4 days after servicing. Is this normal? Should I go and get them to change again? Engine oil is Xado, and I opt for the more expensive oil as it was suppose to be better. Car is Mazda 3 2014, bought in August 2015, last servicing done about 15k before this one. Image of engine oil attached. Note that this is at least after wipe-place in-wipe again checks. Thanks for reading
