Where to find basic stuff

[Nick]

Having not owned a car in Singapore before, I'm not sure where's best to find basic consumables - fluids, oils, etc. Is there somewhere that specializes in this for our cars? Like, a car hyper-mart or similar.

Also, I'm after a set of lock nuts - the type used to prevent theft of wheels (i.e. by jacking up car). Any recommendation of where to find?

And finally, for those of you with leather seats, any particular brand of leather conditioner you do / don't like? Have some squeaky seats

Many thanks!

Unless you are specific with your brand preference, you can find them at Autobacs or Stamford Tyres...... else go to BVO or J4Cs for things like that......

Any tyre shop. Leong Seng is selling for $50 per set.

I leave this to Zaino......

Well, u can always go back to the authorised workshop.
If u own BMW, u go to PML
If u own Mercedes, u go to Cycle and Carriage

Now, the real question is...will u do that or not...
If not, then there are shops like Autobacs that carry alot of basic consumables.

For leather product, I hv tried Zaino and Meguire, both are pretty good

Gd Luck
