Rm 10-RM15? Where you learnt from sia.... So far cheapest i got was RM30. Did not used CC cos of distance.
Thats what i like about sending car to JB for servicing. No hard selling, do the checks and advise accordingly. Tell you to take note of this and that. Can tahan for time being, next servicing bring your parts then change together.
You are lucky that CC not busy yesterday.
Btw in SG, based on friendship and kam cheng, labour for change EO and filter is SGD$20.
Hey, buddy thanks for your opinion, I think we have different surroundings /budget/expectation. for years I have used workshops that do the basic EO and filter for under $15 labour, yes this price is relationship price.
locally EO and filter under $50 (parts + labour) are possible at pioneer/woodlands workshop area, nearby where I stay. Sin Ming, Bukit Batok, or any workshop within 2km of inspection centres tend to be expensive. SIC
Budget shops are often at high rise workshops, high high levels where their rental is cheap and the main revenue is not from maintenance. Also possible if their shop is deep inside the industrial estate.
It is just 1 bolt to loosen and large pliers to remove the oil filter. How much for 10 mins effort? Yes, I am a cheapskate. I don't critique friends who spend close to $200 on "branded" quality; their money, their peace of mind.
I have the capability to do it myself too, as I am willing to go under the car, further lowering the cost to below $40 if I pick up Fully-EO from our Supermarket during a promotion.
I guess you are suggesting I got lucky that the gentlemen were free and able to diagnosis, thus my good review may be one-off. or maybe you are suggesting that this service I experienced is common in JB, nothing to rave about.
sorry- i habitually type in paragraphs, not shooting. i also realise this thread is on JB workshops, oops.
