Thomson Caltex Servicing

[Adrianli]

I usually go Sat morning, once went in the afternoon, got two other cars ahead of me so have to wait. Go early, service first and go off lor. He is OMO business.

[Adrianli]

He should have if urs is a common ride. U might wana call him 1st to check. I dont have his number thou. Will search and get back to u.

Actually, more commonly I heard from other car forums that there are quite a few workshops that charge $10 for oil change but must buy their engine oil. Anyway, oil change is lagi cheaper in JB.

 

Regards,

 

any good JB workshop to recommend? maybe can pay a visit next time.

Its at Caltex petrol station along Upper Thomson Road. There are 3 other petrol station side by side there.

 

I got tis lobang from MCF also. Long long time ago, I tink Gad had some neog with the guy and it was announced here. I've been going to him since beginning of last yr.

 

Change oil and filter S$10.

 

Change oil, filter and spark plug S$15.

 

He will help top up the various fluids and compress air blow the air filter. Very good service.

just oil change, i will definitely pick this guy over JB.

 

but usually i will top up 1/4 tank and do some stuff to my wheels (e.g. rotate/balance/align) so go in JB better

[Boyboy]

Does he have lots have customers and is his service fast and efficient? I don't like to wait too long for oil change. Thanks.

 

Regards,

 

just a thot (never try this caltex guy before), i think overall might be faster (if u dun need petrol or other things) than going to JB

any good JB workshop to recommend? thanks

Can share where the workshop in JB u frequent.

 

Many thks

[Boyboy]

usually hawk tayar. I don't frequent those backstreet garages though they are cheaper. but i did visit one before when my friend brought me there and it was cheap and good

 

hawk tayar is the next right turn after you drive past pelangi

[Ericang69]

Oh yes i see this one, i used to eat in the hawker next to it when ever had a chance when i'm in.

 

See a lot of S'pore car do washing there, had thought of parking my car in front of this shop cos outside all full - HAha but not dare.

 

So they do servicing and tyre balancing? wat is the cost?

[Boyboy]

tyre balancing RM5 per wheel i think

 

oil change with own parts RM18. their parts, RM10. they will do basic checks for you as well. not sure if got extra charge for sparkies (using iridium, so i don't change my plugs so often).

 

i did a drum brake servicing (clean out the dust and tighten handbrake), RM18 for that . that's separate charge from the oil change btw.. only thing is handbrake kena overtighten until it is partially engaged when handbrake is down. i lazy to go back, so i keep pulling until it loosen again

[Ericang69]

So can bring own oil and filter for servicing @ rm18.

 

Usually only notice the car washing and accessories shop, btw their workshop operates on Sat and Sun?

 

Many thks

[Boyboy]

saturday yes. never tried going on sunday before..

[Simpleman]

Hawk Tayar operates 7 days a week.

Good for general servicing, including balancing.

Ideally bring your own parts.

Can just leave car with workshop and go shopping across the street.

[Ericang69]

Thanks for your info. Cos i usually go in on Sunday noon depending on the jam cos i live in Woodlands.

 

Hey thanks again.

[Ericang69]

Roger that.

 

Thanks for your sharing.

 

Cheers
