Re: Excessive charges by workshops in Singapore?
You must be kidding me right? Complaining over $10?
why don't you buy your own engine oil, your own brake disks, your own everything and then service your car yourself?
will save a ton of money like that...
pls read the title of this thread, and take note of the word "EXCESSIVE".

Re: Excessive charges by workshops in Singapore?
if you know the part no, you can search by part no at getbmwparts
if you don't know the part no, you can go to realoem and view parts by selecting your car model
then copy and paste the part no at getbmwparts.com
they are many parts for different model and different range
so you must be very clear what you are getting else the part that you ordered is not compatible with your car
DIY is not for everyone and you must have the necessary technical knowledge and passion to do-it-yourself else leave it to the pro and pay a "fees" for their service
this is just an example only hor ... may not be the parts for your car

Re: Excessive charges by workshops in Singapore?
I think we need to look at this excessive or maybe expensive services/margins holistically.
As consumers, we will always demand a fair price if not the lowest possible price to buy without sacrificing the goods quality.
As sellers, we will always demand a fair price if not the highest possible price to sell without losing a customer.
just look at it when we buy/sell properties, isn't it obvious? who doesn't want a super high selling price for the property that we are trying to let go? Who doesn't want a super cheap fire sale for the property that we are trying to buy?
Every business has overheads, rents, salaries, marketing funds and whatnot - It's a commercial trade. we can always go another shop, another avenue to get what we want. Heck, we can even invent things that we are not happy with paying for.
Those shops that charges super high prices, when their competitors offers a fair price with the same or better service, definitely the market will reward the competitors. Unless that shop is the only shop who dares to venture and try on new stuffs/ methods and introduce new offerings and command a high price in this case, we call it premium and not excessive.
Commodities prices are regulated to a certain extent. High end cars and products which are clearly wants driven, are not. So we do our own research and compare prices before parting with our own hard earn money. No one else is to blame other than ourselves when we clearly have a choice.
Just my thoughts. Businesses have no conscience, it is not a living thing. So don't expect it when you go shopping.

Re: Excessive charges by workshops in Singapore?
I hope the quotation is not from EleBest, but bros and sisters might think that EleBest quote you "excessive" price. I did not notice this thread until one of my friend call me: "how much you quote for top Hifi system? Got one guy posting you quote him $3k+, then complain in the forum". "Oh, really? We never quote such price leh."
Then we re-checked the PM sent folder, found "BMW Forever", we quoted a price of Hifi (NOT TopHIFI) speakers at 12:03pm on the day of 21 June, then TS post this on the day of 22 June 2pm+. Only one day, not possible to do "study" first, then bought from US, then get them installed, post a loooong story here.
We don't know who you are, what you try to do. but we just don't want anything negative put on EleBest because of any non-real fact. Ignore this reply, if you are not talking about our quotation. Thanks.
