Hey bro, you were there yesterday?? What time?
Yeh, ah hong and ah yuan are good guys although sometimes I feel ah yuan dao me a bit. :o their pricing is decent for quality work. Although now with only two of them running their own show, if bigger job might be prudent to call and make an appointment in advance, walk in might have to wait a while depending on their job load.
same for me bro, ah yuan don't talk much to me until collect money time.
most of the the time is ah hong entertain me only, answer all my questions on my ride.

anyone of you using lock nut for your wheel which require special nut to remove your wheels?

i am using lock nut, every time go jb ws they will ask my for that special nut removal thing, i heard is not good to use those air gun on such lock nut to remove trye?

Ah yuan is friendly but his face is like that, when he does smile, make sure quickly come back sg and buy TOTO.

I was there at carclick around 2 plus and left around 4 plus.

Decided to change my tyre here in sg as the brand I'm interested, JB don't have. Kumho PS31 (S$68/pc, 195/60R15) and also change battery (Amaron) here in sg (S$85, 55B24L)

Anyone can recommend car wash with decent car vacuum, those that I went anyhow vacuum.

Define your expectation of a "decent car vacuum":)

Oh..I reached just before 4. You were sitting in the office right? :o remember the black sg car that came in? :p

Price on Amaron battery looks good man. Did you get quotes from ah yuan and da sen etc also? How did they compare?

I think Legends at B.Point does an OK job but their quality depends on which guys are working that day and how many cars they need to clear. Busy time not as good. Can consider those detailer shops like D'lux or Posh. A bit more ex like rm14 or 15 if I'm not wrong but can tell them to focus more on the interior vac part.

Not really noisy I find it acceptable.

At least they should vacuum the slip between car seat and the centre console where the gearbox is and the arm rest is. Those gap are slightly harder to reach.

Giant Sg always have shell helix offer at $29.90
RM89 is not that attractive.

My last set of Michelin from save n safe(2016).
Maybe I m unlucky, 3 out of 4 tyre valves leaking. End up have to change to steel valves at ah yuan.
