Pisces69 6th Gear December 12, 2012 Share December 12, 2012 Hi Anyone know of any car service workshop in JB that is reliable and reasonable in price? My car's aircon compressor unit broke down and learnt that it would be cheaper to get it done in JB. Thanks in advance! Lene Fr ac i still only do in sg at markcool at woodlands. Work very well done n prices reasonable. Most important job well done without problems later on. Look fr e foreman Ah Huat. Other workers i dun trust. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other workers i dun trust. 3 months back my friend's car air-con not cold and got sound was quoted as to change the compressor. My friend tulan didn't check thoroughly and just said change so go back home without changing.Reached home use a metal rod to knock the draining pipe till some impurities loose out. Air-con coolest till today and sound also gone.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalTab Clutched December 13, 2012 Share December 13, 2012 (edited) Have been going to Carino for the last 5 years Service every 20km; every 6 months Listing price for comparison Castrol 5W-40 $101.30 Oil Filter - $12 Air Filter - $28 Auto fluid - $68 Battery (Amazon, zero maint, 85D23L HL) - $150 Front brake disc pad - $148 4 x Yokohama ADrive 20/65/R15 tyres - $580 Labour svc, wheel alignment - $95 TOTAL: $1182.30 At another later servcing, I realised oil filter changed, air filter changed (so every 6 mths these 2 components changed) - reasonable? I paid 1 set engine mounting (front, rear, left and right sides) - $550 I have thought the shop price a bit on the pricey side; anyone can exchange experiences/opinions?
