If you service you car at AD you must be prepared to pay premium price for premium service. Can't compare with buying it yourself and install. You may not know where it is located or don't want to dirty you hand. No right or wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosszero Turbocharged January 10, 2009 Share January 10, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, pardon me if this is a noob question. Just bought my car to servicing (C&C) and was asked to change aircon filter which cost 80+ and air filter which cost 90+ Can i know what is the difference and why so expensive! Got kena chop? Air con filter is for your air conditioning system. Kind of like the filter you have in your home air con. Air filter is for your car's engine. It prevents road debris from being sucked into your engine. Like the rest said, neither item should be so expensive if they are stock standard items.

Nohnemwan 1st Gear January 10, 2009 Share January 10, 2009 Hi guys, pardon me if this is a noob question. Just bought my car to servicing (C&C) and was asked to change aircon filter which cost 80+ and air filter which cost 90+ Can i know what is the difference and why so expensive! Got kena chop? If you have a leaking tap and call a plumber to fix it and he charges you $70 to replace the washer which costs $0.50, do you consider that kena chop? Or do you think car maintenance is only about paying for a part which will install itself? If your quotation for the 2 filters includes labour, and you can't do it yourself anyway (and you don't even know what those items are), can you be bothered to make the effort to source the parts and then learn how to replace them? You are not so much paying for the parts but more for the effort of replacing the part. If you think it is too much then you should make the effort to learn.

Yep, will learn if there is resources in the future. Anyone knows if warranty would be void if i replace my own filters? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
