Sabian Turbocharged April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 Yes. TCM net(including parts, labour, GST) = $222. Autosaver net (including parts, labour, GST) = $322 Then you did the right thing by going with TCM. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanboi 1st Gear April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 My car stalled this morning while driving. Lucky no accident. Drove to Autosaver , quoted me $322 for the repair. Called TCM, quoted me $222 come with warranty of 1 yr or 20k km for the part that was replaced.. Difference $100. Well in the end, drove to TCM and did the repair. I always thought AD will cost more than outside workshop. But it seems not true. If TCM quote you $100 cheaper of cuz the choice would be TCM. Ever called TCM regarding a loose tachometer needle, wanted to charge $65/hr or $300+ per day to diagnose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eko6 2nd Gear May 7, 2012 Share May 7, 2012 Just got my car serviced at Defu. I think they "forgot" to rotate my tyres. Car bonnet was left with black finger prints. Don't think I will go back there again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picanto 3rd Gear May 10, 2012 Share May 10, 2012 Another WS that I can recommend is at upper Thomson road, caltex station. Small but humble WS. Labour is very reasonable and no bs from them. I'm been using them for a long time. Yesterday was the only time I didn't go back to them coz it's 80k KM. Thought I better go to a bigger WS for more complete servicing. In my normal 10k KM servicing, I'm at that caltex station ( together with shell and ESSO stations) Bring my own oil and whatever, they just charge labour. there are a few caltex at that road. can you let us know the address?

U thnk AD wont leave finger print marks on your car? AD will give complimentary car wash that's why no finger print marks. After one incident, I requested for mine not to be washed. The good thing about ADs is that when they take in the car, they will mark the defects like dents/scratches on the checklist. Most outside workshops dont and when a new "scar" is created, they will push the responsibility to you. I kena that stunt by a so called "reputable" detailer in Ubi/Kaki Bukit area.

Seanboi 1st Gear May 10, 2012 Share May 10, 2012 this is rediculous. $300 for troubleshooting? just a waste of time. I tink it's $360 or $365 per day to be more specific. Didnt send in cause the guy wasnt even confident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt send in cause the guy wasnt even confident. thats how AD earn mah...... if not, how to pay for the big rental space, labour, equipment, $$ into mgt pockets? so far as possible, avoid ADs unless it's a very last resort measure.

Is450z Neutral Newbie May 11, 2012 Share May 11, 2012 (edited) AS not really that good (in my opinion) I went to Wlds AS afew mths back, the service guys dont seem to know the correct part to replace & also given me a wrong advise ? Maybe they dont specialise in a particular model ( they service several models, makes...) Luckily i went check & ask other WS. KM, also confirmed their advise is wrong plus their (AS) customer service suxs, like i owe them big time They forget that a "dissatisfied" customer will never walk into the same workshop a second time In the end I went back KM, service adviser is gd & they really know their stuff price wise is almost the same (at least i feel i am a customer) My advise, go do your own homework, know your own car parts/ part numbers/ pricing, shop around & ask for advise I am sure there are better ones Edited May 11, 2012 by Is450z Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
