Hi All,

Recently my front passenger door lock mechansim got stuck, and the worlshop charged me $385.50 (w/GST) for labour and parts. Just wondering if this is above or below average cost that fellow forummers experienced?

Thanks!

Re: Checking cost of changing door lock mechansim

Nowadays workshop charges about the same or just a little lesser than AD. A reputable workshop will give you a detailed breakdown of costs. Did you ask for one?
 
Re: Checking cost of changing door lock mechansim

It's mentioned as door lock mechansim replacement parts, and labour for removal and installation. I guess they don't go lower level than that. This WS is Zxxxxx in Alexandra V (I believe you can fill in the blanks of the name)

I would do it for S$50 had i know it's this cheap.

I bought the part from ES and DIY myself, took me around 1-1.5 hour changing the driver door lock following a DIY youtube clip.

Ok to do DIY on a lazy sat/sun afternoon, but probably not too often :)

Ban this ws. So unprofessional, didn't even breakdown the costs to parts and labour.
