Hi, if it's me. I will check price with Tan Chong and one of the popular stockist. Then I will go down GSC, speak to a manager or someone with authority and ask "nicely" whether there is an error in billing. 

 

I feel it's pointless to argue with them anymore. Just confirm that that $1900 is indeed the discounted price !!! 

 

And with that, I will post on all social media available !!!! 

 

$1,900 is ta ma de too much man !!!! 

 

I paid PML $1k for BMW Battery and alternator.

Sorry to say that $1900 for alternator is way overpriced.

My ex-diesel van use a Bosch 120A alternator.

It's heavy duty, (normal saloon car maybe around 80~90A).

It costs $600 at the parts distributor.

Thank you all for your kind advice and encouragement!

 

Spoke to the lady boss of GSC, initially she said that she would "refund" me the "profit of $500", they claimed that they bought the alternator from supplier at $1500.

 

However, after 24 hours, no follow up from the company and I had to chase them for replies.

 

The only reply we got from the lady boss was "accounts manager rejected."

 

And she blocked me on whatsapp after that.

 

 

 

PLEASE AVOID GSC AUTO SERVICES GUYS!

Your 2015 Nissan out of warranty?

 

I just claim warranty for my Alternator before warranty expires.

This GSC surely no business sense. 

 

In this time and era, social media are so powderful. They will lose much more business and earnings by not `returning' this $500.

In the first place why did TS not ask for an estimate before he allow the WS to carry out the repair ? If it is not my regular WS, I will ask for an estimate first.

Sometimes some people just trust that it's around that price or small markup lah.

 

How many people actually know how much an alternator cost? If not for this thread i won't know. Cos i never had such a failure.

But actually google reviews is quite powerful for workshop, cos the only way u know where the location of the workshop unit is via google maps.

How the hell i know in the industrial area, where the unit is...
