Re: What an expensive day! Starter motor replacement. I had my alternator broke down too. Managed to get to Eng Soon to buy the part (about $480) and towed car to Boss Motorsports (site sponsor) to change. It was almost evening, and they were the only ones who were willing to help. They told...

Re: What an expensive day! Starter motor replacement. Aiyoh! Why you all like that? I totally agree - this thread should not turn into a site sponsor or workshop bashing! So, please, everyone, chill! Like I've maintained - I've never said that I was unfairly charged or overcharged what! What...

Re: What an expensive day! Starter motor replacement. Like I mentioned in my opening post, I understand that workshops need to mark up on parts to make money. Every business is entitled to do that. My gripe is on the AMOUNT of mark up - in this case, almost DOUBLE the price I could get from a...

Re: What an expensive day! Starter motor replacement. No lah - I wasn't made to sign a warranty contract, didn't ask for a refund, and wasn't given change in coins lah. I won't go so far as to say that this workshop is a crook - they are not.

Re: What an expensive day! Starter motor replacement. True. Some workshops take advantage of the fact that it's an emergency repair and use the opportunity to over charge. Make a quick buck here, but hurt their long term reputation. Such a myopic business strategy.

Re: What an expensive day! Starter motor replacement. I don't think it's too nice to name the workshop in this forum. But it is one of the site sponsors here. For those who are really really curious or would like to add to your workshop blacklist or greylist, PM me.

Re: What an expensive day! Starter motor replacement. Nope. Definitely the starter motor. No ASS on the E90 320i yah?

Re: What an expensive day! Starter motor replacement. ASS? What's that?

Not my lucky day. Car couldn't start this morning and I had to tow to a local workshop to replace the starter motor. Think I kenna carrot liao. Workshop charged me $390 for the motor, and $180 for labour. Eng Soon sells the part for $200. I understand that workshop needs to mark up on parts to...
