Do you actually know how much a HID bulb can cost?

I give you $10 for labor. Can you please buy me 100pcs of the $30 HID bulb. And I only accept branded ones like Philips osram

Please read carefully on the above I did not say it's Philip BRAND . It's a Oem Brand. If ok please leave me a contact point . I can supply you 1 pcs $15. If you are a workshop owner and charging at this price please let me know the name of your work shop so car owner will know .

Hi every one who is sending car for repair or servicing. I have a bad experience which like to share with all genuine car owner. Recently I went to 28 Auto located at bukit Merah lane 1 to change a Oem head light bulb and was charge $150 . Later when to other workshop and check the price $35. The changing took him less than 5 min. All car owner don't be fool by those cock and bull story by those people.

My car have been service by blackeagle auto at kaki bukit. I can bring my own parts to repair and they charge reasonable labour cost imo .

Did suspension for my polo and labour was 80 . Neat job done. Know the boss for quite awhile so maybe you could hit then up if you want.

Has anyone heard of or tried "The Local Workshop" located at level 5 of WCEGA building in Bukit Batok?

 

Shell helix service package at $65 with free wipers, and house pour is even cheaper at $38.

 

Was looking at their carousell and facebook，they also do repairs and parts change. Are they good?

Review Workshop - Avoid Hevshop

Hevshop is a Hybrid specialist workshop in Sin Ming.

In Oct last year, I  sent my car for a major servicing there, including changing spark plugs, in preparation for drive to Genting.

There was occasional clanging of engine but I did not think much.  In December, I drove with my family up to Genting for holiday.  Car was progressively clanging, jerking and losing power more frequently.  It endangered my family of 6, including a 4 year old on the steep slopes.

On my return, I went to Hevshop, who diagnosed a gearbox problem, and estimated cost of $5k and 3 weeks to repair.

I took car for a second opinion at another workshop, which found the spark plugs put in by Hevshop to be worn out and have gaps of more than 2mm.  Changed all 4 plugs and the car is smooth to date.

Hevshop denied responsibility claiming that they have CCTV system showing that the car was serviced, but offered to pay for the replaced spark plugs if I bring the car in for further tests at Hevshop.  I was hesitant but also wanted to know what happened. So I said I will bring the car back if they will show me the CCTV footage of the servicing in Oct.  HEVSHOP FLATLY REFUSED. I guess they have something to hide.

Whether, they charged me and didn't replace the plugs or replaced it with old or sub-standard plugs, we don't know. But it endangered our lives, spoiled our holiday and nearly caused me an expensive repair which we don't need.

The Hevshop management should and could have done the right thing to address a genuine complain and work together with me to get to the bottom of this problem, but instead they chose to standoff and avoid responsibility.

AVOID HEVSHOP TO SAVE YOURSELF AGGRAVATION, TIME AND MONEY!

One-man-show but reasonable charges and most importantly,

takes the time to do the job well,

eg. never seen any other mech vacuum out remnant oil after draining.

labor is now $60
