1fast1 Supersonic August 17, 2013 Share August 17, 2013 (edited) Sometimes, a customer can be a real pain in the neck. Just read the article: I used to know the boss at BMS very well when I had my Scoobies. This guy must also be a Subaru driver, probably driving a WRX. Doesn't exactly help the already-entrenched chao ah beng image. Edited August 17, 2013 by Turboflat4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't exactly help the already-entrenched chao ah beng image. kinda weird..don't sound like the experience i had when i used to go there. the mech will tell me upfront if the repair requires time or there is a long queue ahead. if u are ok then proceed; meantime u can drink coffee downstairs, tok kok with the 'ah bengs' there or go home and wait for call. if cannot wait then go on to try other workshops loh... bks is just downstairs some more. don't make sense it gets escalated till like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast1 Supersonic August 17, 2013 Share August 17, 2013 Nowadays BMS do all sort of cars like Honda, Mitsubishi, VW, BMW, etc. Wow, things have changed. I thought the shop was still being run by Ah Boon. Don't know Ah Hua at all. I guess now I cannot speak for the shop. Is Ah Tan (BKS AMK) still there nearby?

Bms labor not cheap so there's many other shop could provide service like them n cheaper... Last time under ah Hua...pricing was quite reasonable...but now the son like money minded everything mark up n service not up standard...furthermore the son quite emo n short temper... With these attitude, customers will run elsewhere... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibadog Turbocharged August 17, 2013 Share August 17, 2013 Wow, things have changed. I thought the shop was still being run by Ah Boon. Don't know Ah Hua at all. I guess now I cannot speak for the shop. Is Ah Tan (BKS AMK) still there nearby? I used to support Ah Boon/BMS 100%. But when his involvement in BMS faded, so did my support level. Anyway I am only a small customer - no major mods etc. I have no illusions that they suffered a financial loss due to my change of workshop LOL He is still there in the afternoons, so on occasion when I need a scoobie specialist to diagnose/fix something, I will be sure to call him 1st prior to going there. Ah Boon and Ah Hua are brothers. Ah Hua is the elder brother. Ah Tan has shifted back to his hometown of Pontian in Johor and opened his own wkshop in Pontian Kecil. I do go there sometimes. Oddly enough, I have never met him in Singapore (as I always went to BMS then) but when I started looking for a new workshop, his name and new workshop in Pontian came up on the radar. So I made a road trip there to check him out and was pleasantly surprised with his personality, professionalism and attitude. There is some cost savings (in labour), but it is more than offset by the added cost of travelling there (abt 60km fm JB CIQ). But at least he does the work personally. Not some inexperienced mechanic that you have to supervise while the work is being done. Yes, I believe BKS AMK is still there on the 2nd floor. I heard it's run by Alan.

Shibadog Turbocharged August 17, 2013 Share August 17, 2013 Ah boon bo chup liao. Now ah hua n his son right? as far as I know ah boon is still there in the afternoons. He still picks up my call and attends to me on the rare occasion that I bring my car there, altho he knows I dun really go there much now. in fact, he helped me inspect my current ride before I made the purchase.
