all price quoted are quite fair - but do u really need to change all of these?
what year and mileage is yr SGTI?

 

[xtremeleo]

indeed, they were prized fairly imo

 

[PocketRocket]

hmm...lump sum is painful la... looks like you can do all of this in 3 stages in the span of 2-3 months at least not so painful

 

[EvolutionZ]

totally agreed. u drive and repair it gradually, from there u can really notice the diff...do all one shot not only painful but cant spot the diff.

but lump sum normally foreman will give a better price

 

[PocketRocket]

depends lor..coz adjustment also not much if its a lump sum amount...but if seperated charges i say can nego more...hehe

end of the day, there's labour charge added with the parts...so round it off for every stage saves more than lump sum..IMO

 

[mydvdrom]

not necessary one lump sum is cheaper. look at the labour charges for each stage. unless u can negotiate a single lump sum labour charge for all then its best to split into a 2-3 months work like pocket rocket says. i personally feel the price of parts quite standard market price but the labour is quite high. normally workshops will charge RM20-50 for all work done unless really time consuming ones.

the price is reasonable?

you mean its cheap or overpriced?

you mean its cheap or overpriced?

i think what bro bkf meant to say is that there is some pros and cons to the prices you were quoted meaning for example the prices of some items are cheaper than what they should be meaning that is a pro and the prices of some items are more expensive than what they should be meaning that is a con
so he recommend u go survey the prices in other workshops to be sure
but if this is your regular mech and you feel that he is trustworthy then there shoudnt be any harm in proceeding with your repairs but it can never hurt to do some additional surveying if time permits
