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?

 

i spent about S$500 for my Wish. parts + labour.

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.

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)

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! [laugh]

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).
