I feel the same way too, RM60 is reasonable. As long as the problem is solved, that would be the main objective.

Hi Kelvin,

Just found out that Kenny is from Kota Kinabalu, where wireman are scarce and distance away...

They labour charge there may varies from West Malaysia...

So geographically, charges differs and we therefore need not debate on it.

Sorry to everyone, especially Kenny for the unforeseen circumstances...:wavey:

Bro. Lesley,
Forums are like that. Someone ask, he/she will get all sorts of views and answers. Just have to decide on his/her own after reading the answers given. Think they are not relevant, forget about them.
Better to make friends then argue and become enemies.....:adore:

imo RM60 is fair price or not, nobody can actually tell why but yourself. Put yourself in his shoe. If you gonna do this job as a living, do you think you want to accept this job for this price? People always say there is a "market price" mah... well there is many market prices for the same job too. So how ah? If one is good he can charge high price, if one is half past six normal price is overcharged. So price for skill is subjective. my 1 cent la..

Well said, brother. Depends on areas even, like mentioned by bro. Lesley. When the shop located, is the shop famous and so on. If think the job is expensive, find another for future job (if any). This job already paid for, even though expensive, what else can be done?....my 2 sens

Hello, you are not answering my question. I don't care people have to eat or not. We as a customers also have to eat. So, I am ASKING, not ARGUING.



I agree with you bro, I felt that it is quite expensive for me as I see I don't feel that it is very complicated.


Hard one, sometimes the technician don't know how deep is the problem and want to go how far is it for the wiring.. but good idea also bro. thanks
if its not complicated,u shud try to do it den.being sumone who takes care of my cars' myself,i know its not as easy as it looks.60hengget is acceptable imo

Come on la Kenny,

Its not only one customer paying RM30 a day...

If only one customer a day, quickly close shop already no need to wait any longer....:listen:
depends on the problems la....

if small minor problem, i do it FOC only

labor rate in malaysia is not fixed..so hard to judge. it all depends on d problems

unlike oversea, the labor rate is fixed. so can easily judge

Out of topic a bit, talking of Milo, the price keeps on increasing:banghead: but the taste is like shit compared to 20-30 years ago. I don't know whether they really put shit inside.

That is because the cost of Milo itself has gone sky high, so what they do is to increase price first, then when that also too high already, they reduce the content, means less Milo powder.....:banghead:

Check fuse can do on your own. Open fuse box and read the cover, will show what fuse for what. Just pull out and check, and if fused replace with fuse of correct amp......
