Picanto 3rd Gear December 21, 2009 Author Share December 21, 2009 Vincent already graciously invited him to his WS, but then Picanto chooses to hide behind the scene and be computer hero. Be a man, picanto. Go down and take to Vincent directly at RV... i have no business to give him and i can't afford to pay for his good services. what's the point of going to see his handsome face? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic118 1st Gear December 21, 2009 Share December 21, 2009 i personally think Vincent has done a wonderful job as it's not easy to maintain a good customer service if all the technician are so busy most of the time. If i'm an employee there i'll surely change job if i'm not treated well in the 1st place. And this of course include the salary and year end bonus. And when they're so busy surely some customers may end up not happy. most of the customers there i believe are thru good recommendation or regular customers like me or else they won't be so successful. those who think the charges are more expensive have all the right to go elsewhere to service. at least RV won't be so crowded all the time.

Picanto 3rd Gear December 21, 2009 Author Share December 21, 2009 is there an industry standard for the price of per hour of labour for car repair ? $50 ? $100 ? i think UK has such a practise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic December 21, 2009 Share December 21, 2009 is there an industry standard for the price of per hour of labour for car repair ? $50 ? $100 ? MOM does not impose minimum wage laws unlike those european countries, US and australia. So anyone can setup a garage and uncut the market. If they have minimum wage laws, I will be earning more than my counterparts in other countries. That why MNC like to come here and employ cheap labour previously.

Vextan 1st Gear December 21, 2009 Share December 21, 2009 no, i mean, in local context, what is the norm for per hour labour charge ? like if you send your car for repair, how much the ws charge per hour of repair ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan_06 5th Gear December 21, 2009 Share December 21, 2009 is there an industry standard for the price of per hour of labour for car repair ? $50 ? $100 ? not practical... would u dare to entrust the overhaul and dismantling of your engine and etc to some not so skilled technicians?

Jeff49er Clutched December 21, 2009 Share December 21, 2009 rather, the structural failure of the alutec crank pulley, as what one here has experienced... Yes thats the prob so Vincent didnt want to sell anymore to avoid less headache. When i changed the suspension for the Altis, prv ride, he even recommended another brand which has 1 year warranty and cost cheaper than KYB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local workshop charge by work done rather than per hr basis. If u caught The Garage show on Ch72, SCV. English Mobile Mechanics in Spain charge by per hr basis. I also love watching this show, thus gaining some knowledge abt car mechanics. I am more familiar with marine mechanics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrosszero Turbocharged December 21, 2009 Share December 21, 2009 Picanto, why don't you tell us about your experience with Riverview? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan_06 5th Gear December 21, 2009 Share December 21, 2009 actually come to think of it, if the intention of the TS was to create "awareness" for Riverview... He definitely did so, however it wasn't to the positive awareness that he was looking at. Dear fellow forumers, when you are free just make a trip down to Riverview. Look at the cars being serviced there, there are expensive continental marques being serviced there.. Why? Just talk to vincent over at the workshop when you are there.. you will know ^^ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear December 21, 2009 Share December 21, 2009 Local workshop charge by work done rather than per hr basis. If u caught The Garage show on Ch72, SCV. English Mobile Mechanics in Spain charge by per hr basis. I also love watching this show, thus gaining some knowledge abt car mechanics. I am more familiar with marine mechanics. =========== In Europe & US, ws charge per hour. Even some ws here adopt a similar standard by charging the labour costs based on how long the work took but I think here u can expect the ws to abuse this practice by working slowly & dragging the work to charge more labour. Especially at times when biz is slow. That why motorists here still prefer to get a quote for the whole job b4 deciding if to go ahead or not. The garage is a good prog. Also got another where they buy a car & the ws repair it to very good condition with a fixed budget. I see the low prices of the cars there & sliva drip.
