Wind30 Turbocharged November 5, 2015 Share November 5, 2015 Guys, I have a 8 year old nissan selphy and the air con just died. Tan Cheong is quoting me around $1200 to repair including labour. Is there any reliable and cheaper place to get it repaired? Or is the price from Tan Cheong reasonable? Don't want to spend too much on the 8 year old car. Thanks ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind30 Turbocharged November 5, 2015 Author Share November 5, 2015 (edited) I think Tan Cheong say compressor died. Thanks for the recommendation. Tomika looks like an auto air con specialist. Edited November 5, 2015 by Wind30 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrosszero Turbocharged November 5, 2015 Share November 5, 2015 googled mark cool and tomika. Both got bad reviews floating around internet.... Is there a workshop that charges a bit higher but more reliable? or are the above two really good. Personally used Markcool before for a broken compressor clutch and they are fine. Also scavenged and reused my air con gas instead of charging me for fresh gas. Keep in mind sometimes bad reviews are a result of unreasonable expectations rather than inherent bad expertise on the part of the workshop. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have tried markcool bukit merah, quick and no hassle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
