RM30 for alignment is using computer system~? 😲
Yes. I asked a few tire shops, all using machines to do alignment. Non-conti rides, for 2 points front wheel alignments start from 30 -200. Yesterday was at Tmn Perling area.
For a Toyota car, RM45. If need to add and adjust rear, add another RM5.

Personally i like to seek clarification before heading down, to avoid any disputes.

More importantly whether can be done on that day itself bah.

I managed to find a workshop at Jalan Ros Merah there, boss quite friendly and so far never chop carrot.

Alignment RM$30
Install and Balance tyre RM$20/tyre

Motul 8100 Engine Oil
Oil Filter
Engine Flush
Engine treatment below RM$300

Actually that area alot of workshop, but havent tried the rest.
Can you PM me the workshop?

I have the common knocking sound upon steering. How much does it usually cost to fix it?

Yes dirt cheap, but is using those knock off china "hunter" equivalent alignment system.

I also bought Malaysian Brand "Gab" HE Coilovers, RM$1550 with installation.

Feels ok qutie similar to BC V1/BR equivalent, but the drawback is Hi Low Bodyshift without damper adjustment. But truthfully speaking, majority won't go and adjust anyways.

Only question is reliability, but it's dirty cheap cannot "hiam" already😅 Labour for Lowering Springs/Coilovers already RM300-400
oh where did you go for the coilovers?

A bit of silly question, and also applies to non-AD workshops in SG. I'm pretty sure they aren't referring to the appropriate manual for oil change, so how does the techs know the correct quantity of engine oil to fill up?

I did these but the mechanic didn't update after the check. I'm guessing it's all acceptable lol
Then should be good. Some other dealers might ask you change this change that.

I went to change my tyre and saw the price list. So just took the photo. Gotten
free alignment for changing 4 tyres

hopefully they manage to solve my alignment issue. Will see how after 10k.

Yeah if that's the case, they are honest.

I read somewhere changing tires in Malaysia for a certain size is more expensive than Singapore

You don't need to research any further. I wasted my time chatting with absolute bums on carousel and elsewhere who quoted me ridiculous rates. Below are the cheapest and good workmanship. You send them the pics of your car on where you need the touching up and audio message them your enquiry via whatsapp. They will give you quote and estimated downtime.

1) Uncle Song - 96258308.
Ong Tian Sang Sembawang Motor Repair
Blk 1017 Yishun Industrial Park A #01-252 S(768759).

2) Uncle Loo - 96785087.
Leong boon loo motor services
Blk 9002 Tampines Street 93 #01-68 Tampines Industrial Park A S(528836)
I know this is a 2yrs old post but it was still very helpful! I was looking for a shop nearby my place and saw this Uncle Loo, went to his shop this morning and did some touch ups and spray paint on my car and it was done fairly quick! Price is also very reasonable!

Thanks for the post! My go to paint shop issues will be at Leong Boon Loo! Very kind person also!!!
