Hi all, just wanna share my experience with YS Motorsports.
I did a basic servicing in Singapore which the workshop highlighted quite a few issues and quoted me $1340sgd:
- entire Lower arm replacement
- Brake pad
- 3x belts (fan belt, serpentine? Not very sure what belts but not timing)
- spark plugs
- valve cover gasket
- atf oil, coolant

I did a search on this forum and decided to heed the advice of some and drove in to YS. In the end they did a full check and replaced only the following after I tell them my COE only left with 1 year.
-lower arm bushings
-valve cover gasket
- 3x belts
-spark plugs wire
- atf oil, coolant

YS was honest and quoted what needs to be done as compared to what the SG ws quoted (lower arm VS bushings). Brake pads also not needed to replace. They also diagnosed the vibration was due to wire and not the spark plugs and mentioned my spark plugs can still be used for awhile (as opposed to what SG ws told me). In the end I spent about 900myr as compared to $1300+sgd.
The only downside was the delay in servicing where they told me 2.5hours but ended up close to 5hours. But overall still a pleasant experience with them. Can pm me if you guys want a breakdown in cost.

Guess this is quite ok as you really did a handful of stuffs wor.

This is why and often many workshops dont want to commit or mention how long it may takes ba.

This is one of the major reason why I prefer to let the Malaysians have my biz.

I used to have a brake problem, went to 3 workshops in sg - all asked me change this change that yet couldn't solve the problem. Closed to SGD$1.5K burnt.

Then I found a workshop in permas jaya who specializes in big MPV.
Problem not only solved in 30 mins, repair charges only RM400.

I think Vox motorsports is the place to go for replica bodykit? I have no experience with them before but they have a wide range of bodykits. I am actually looking for Spoon rep bumper.
