Tantt70 Neutral Newbie December 31, 2002 Share December 31, 2002 Honestly dun think these installers are keen to do it for just the labour charge. W/O mentioning names, some installers are just keen on doing if you buy all the stuffs from the same shop. Reason is obvious - they got more margin. Let me know if you know of any reputable installer who confirm will happily take your things and install for a reasonable fee ... because I also want to buy some items on the cheap and get them to install for me. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie January 1, 2003 Share January 1, 2003 >>Let me know if you know of any reputable installer who confirm will happily take your things and install for a reasonable fee ... That's business and the businessman gotta earn a lining too! Sometimes gotta see it at their viewpoint. In SG, labour charge is not that expensive and the businessman have to earn from selling stuff too as he cannot survive on providing service alone. If we bring our own stuff, he'll have to decide whether it's worth his time to fix it or maybe charge a higher fee. IMO, once we buy our own material, there's a high possibility we may need to DIY. Actually it's better to have a DIY culture and not be too reliant on other ppl. Simple things like changing bulbs can be DIY, but in SG you may be surprised that many ppl don't know that or couldn't be bothered to. Bulb cost <$1 but it will cost $5 when you get the mechanic to change. Over here, service/labour charges is a dirty word and that's why a lot of businesses will factor in the labour charges when quoting the price of stuffs. Just my $0.02.

Tiger156 Neutral Newbie January 21, 2003 Share January 21, 2003 Any idea if Dynamat is any better than bitumen or Acumat? Is there a place that I can see this material? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phalanx Neutral Newbie February 23, 2003 Share February 23, 2003 Am using Dynamat. More ex than accumat coz it's thinner, but offers better sound proofing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool_jazz Neutral Newbie March 1, 2003 Share March 1, 2003 (edited) Yep. Bitumen to stop metal panel resonance (vibes) and foam sheets to absorb higher frequency noise. Bitumen sheets to soundprrof the car? Isn't it toxic? The volume of air in a car is small and with the air-con on most of the air gets circulated. Bitumen is the stuff used to pave roads right? A petrol based product. Does anyone know what Lexus use to insulate their cars? Edited March 1, 2003 by Cool_jazz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
