Zenithpool 2nd Gear October 15, 2009 Share October 15, 2009 Anyone heard of this workshop or had been to this workshop before? Its located behind Tampines SAFRA. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_biscuit 3rd Gear October 15, 2009 Share October 15, 2009 Yup,been there to service my ride back in 2003 when I 1st owned a car. Nothing to shout about for this workshop, prices isn't exactly cheap as stated in their advertising leaflets. The Chief mechanic always wear a white Coverall, long hair. If u looking for a better workshop in this area, I would rather u go to Chip Soon located just behind this workshop for your car's servicing. The mechanics there are more proficient in their jobs. http://www.chipsoonauto.com.sg/ Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeobh 4th Gear October 15, 2009 Share October 15, 2009 If the shops have the sales volume , it's wise and economical to buy direct from oil companies /agents in 200 litre drums. Disposing those plastic bottles and oil containers and oil filters is a messy job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeobh 4th Gear October 15, 2009 Share October 15, 2009 (edited) Oil companies are very strict on such matter. Off course there are few black sheeps in each and every profession. The final guide line to visit or not to visit depends very much on the owner/shop reputation and the type of price and service expected by the car owners. There are many workshops that have questionable reputations but they are still in business for the last few decades.How come they can survive, very simple reason because there are still many car owners who only want cheap services - the word quality service is not in their dictionary.

Silver_blade Turbocharged October 15, 2009 Share October 15, 2009 i have this believe plastic bottles harder to tamper with. drums inside they mix with old oil u also dunno.... Agree. Honestly, no one know what kind of engine oil is in the drum. I went there cos it was cheap and I was doign my NS then. But after 2-3 visits...I decide to save up , buy my own oil + parts and DIY. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
