I immediately walk off to me it boils down to business Ethic , I always support professional business Ethic/ practice. sorry to say he may be correct the program is not the same to his knowledge . No offence to say he probably think Sg car should pay Sg price . Business Ethic to me Particularly in Sg like had patronize retail shop that mentioned to me No receipt/invoice NO GST , to me a BUsiness establishments who can Cheat Government (tax evasion ) and you think he got the Business Ethic? also any purchased without Invoice is just like no proof of purchased Edited January 27, 2018 by Roberttan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahbengdriver 6th Gear August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 (edited) Hiadees/Hiabuays Just want share and warn you guys when u change tyres in JB. Not that this doesn't happen in Singapore but has happened to 2 of my friends so far. They went to change tyres in their conti cars at the well known 'reasonably prized' shop in JB. Many Singaporeans go there, heard more than 50% of their business are from SG-plate cars. No issue with the tyres. Problem is their workers often overtighten the lug nuts with the air impact wrench until the nuts cannot be removed when servicing the cars. Both my friends had lug nuts tightened to over 200nm and when they send their cars to local WS to do brake servicing the wheels can be taken off because the nuts are stuck. In fact a few nuts snapped off n got stuck when trying to remove. Apparently their workers of this tyre shop in JB dunno how to torque down the lug nuts properly, even with a torque wrench, anyhow over tighten. Hope they change their practice but now my friends very the tulan. Swear not to go back anymore. Just sharing. Not I say one hor, my friends say one hor. Please ask your tyre shop, JB or Singapore, don't over tighten hor. Edited August 30, 2018 by Ahbengdriver 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I go to a regular tire shop in Singapore who uses torque wrench (which is set to the correct setting). Save a few dollars, damage your wheel hub, cannot loosen due to over-tightening. Don’t be penny wise, pound foolish. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, this is not going to a supermarket and putting in a product into your shopping trolley. Correct installation matters, a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahhaah actually using impact gun very hard to avoid, even in sg, as long as they dun over tigthen, and use their hand to scew in the bolt first. wat i cannot tahan the most is they handle my rims very roughly , put on the machine, the rim hit the machine , bang bang bang, my heart damn pain, these shop i will never go, no matter how cheap. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberttan 5th Gear September 1, 2018 Share September 1, 2018 In SG, there is tyre shop using torque wrench for final touch. using Torque Wrench is Perfect. to me hand tightened already very GOOD. we have to understand the purpose of torque wrench is to prevent OVER tighen to your nuts or Bolts (over stress the material or Thread). For sme they may have experient cant loosen their nut when trying to Put spare wheel in the event of Punctuured . you wont be surprise to see some workshop cant loosen with his Power tool ,can imaging how overtightened last done.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
