How much to replace shock absorbers? Options

[Tohdj]

Thanks for the advice - I don't goto JB.

Which workshop do you recommend in SG (preferably on the west side) and which stockist, Autobacs?

for toyotas, u can buy KYB. they are OEM for toyota parts. try asking the shop at Waterloo St...their shop is facing the road. Aik Huat Chop

He meant he lazy to run 2 Plc

So went ws let ws earn a bit on parts too


Btw ts, jus buy from stockist

Sg labour ard 80 then align 50

Jb labour 60 align 30

Yes, I was lazy to run around to buy parts and go WS.
Also don't know good WS that will do it for labour only.

WS labour $100

I just brought my car in for servicing - the mechanic said my shocks need to be changed - all four for $840...is this the normal price?

T/S forum name is SLS-AMG,if he is driving that car,$840 is nothing,anyway i don't think any SLS need to change their shock aborbers so soon.

I had just checked my record, my Altis 2 x front shock absorbers costs me @ S$ 300/- include labour so estimated include the rear about S$ 600/-.
You want the lead ? I can recommend to you. (Original Toyota Thailand parts drawn from Borneo Motors stockists)

Toyota u can find stockist like fong tat, fong ee, min ghee

I used to get parts from them

Ws I only go sin ming

I Duno about west sorry

Autobas??? I stepped in once n find nothing

Lol

[MkMan]

even if you go JB because of the low labour cost of bringing your own parts there. You have a risk that the custom will tax your parts also. Pls note

Thanks for the recommendation - it's about the same price as Autosaver - so will probably go with them.

I changed my at agent's ws for $535.

I just got a quote from Borneo Motors...$1200 to change all 4 shocks!

The only shock they are giving me is when they quoted me that price!

Shock absorbers seems like not a cheap parts to get replaced?! Quote seems to be at least $400 or more!

Japan....

KYB brand around $500++ plus labour replace all 4 shocks....no need to search hard. I went to Soh Bro, he call over the guy from other shop and all done in a few hours. If u want 100% MIJ shock, buy from stockist (can call Yuen Thong, can go their website see what they have..forgot the other shop).

[Kelvingoh45]

How does it feel after change of absorbers?

[Terratoss]

Hi guys, just curious that when you all replace the shocks, you all use back stock shocks or? Usually how many km need to change shocks?

[MadDog70]

I was quoted $850 for Toyota Yaris, I paid RM800 to get it done in Pontian (West Malaysia).

You only change 1 time in 10 years car usage, I change mine in the 5th year, the 10th year you will be scrapping liao, so no need.
