I have been charged check & fix wiring

[imkelvin]

I have been charged RM60 for checking and fixing wiring for my Proton Iswara of Power Window Switch. It is reasonable? Can anyone tell me?

 

[DanzEterna]

depends on wat parts he fixed & how complicated is your previous wiring.

What was the problem? Sometimes if takes them the whole day to find and solve the issue, RM60 might be ok....

 

[imkelvin]

half hour only..

 

[nyantong]

Bro, people also have to eat mah. Plus this is diagnosing and wiring, not replacing brake pads or changing oil.

Did he remove the door panel and all that? But half hour quite fast job.

My friend fitted Double Din player, take old one out and put in new one, accessory shop charge RM40, but for me he charge RM70, but I paid because China car, he had difficult adjusting the depth, so he took much longer time to do.....

 

[ken yeang]

better ask the technician how much he gonna charging, or at least an estimate, before start working on the car.
Fair and square, for both parties.

 

[huakenny]

rm60 is cheap...especially in wiring

 

[LesleyAprotto]

I think it shoud be around RM20-RM30 thing if only the wire and nothing else...

i dun think now can easily find rm20-30 labor charge edi, unless mechanic bawah pokok

if rm30 labor, after deduct the shop rental, worker labor etc etc fee....negative profit already

Still have. My mechanic that day check my wiring for air con, charge RM20 only. Initially I thought big problem because suddenly no more cold air and maybe compressor kaput. He check and say compressor not running. Check about 20 minutes found wire to air con in engine compartment broken. Just join back only.....:rolleyes:

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....

 

[iatebananas]

did they change the switch as well?

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

In my opinion, it's reasonable.wiring troubleshooting become expensive not because the look of how it perform. it look easy but it require essential knowledge to troubleshoot it and some are very hard to solve eventhough it look simple. some knowledge in wiring not come cheap as some earn it in hard way. just my 2 cents...

 

[nadziad]

rm 60 for wiring i think is reasonable la.....for us who didn know about wiring feel it is expensive...for them i think they must think safety for their customer,safety for the car and last the customer are happy the window are working...heeeeee

 

[ignn_tion]

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.....

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
