Dear all,

I am new here so pardon me if i said anything wrong or stupid.

My ride is reaching the end of its 3 years warrenty and i will need to go for my major 60k servicing soon.

Are there any alternate and reliable workshops for benz in singapore for me to go to?

I have not checked how much this service will cost me at C&C but judging that they are charging me in excess of $500 pretty much gives me an indication. Changing of 4 brake pads also set me back at around $700 plus.

Comments appreciated. Thanks guys!

For normal servicing (engine oil, oil filter less spark plug) will cost u less than $300, Top93 can do servicing too. Wear brake pads and rotor front & rear around $550 (Goldenlink) & labour around $150. C&C conduct all the simi 100 points check but outside workshop i doubt they check thoroughly for u. U can held c&c for failure to check but outside workshop?? Spark plugs is recommended to change at 60km. Check with our site sponsor workshop and compare pricing.

What for pay so much already and leave the car sleeping at home and for the next owner to enjoy while you absorb the depreciation!

It wasn't so much the amount that C&C will charge but for the fact that they need 3 working days to do half a day's job that put me off from going to them since my W245 is out of warranty and I now have a choice where I send it to.

I strongly agree with Nightfly Bro regarding to the C&C down time.... 

 

i have a very weird mental barrier in regards to car servicing... i have never went to other workshop for servicing, previously on Borneo and now C&C... i always think that for a little more that you pay, you get the piece of mind...

 

i am now on 53K mileage.... i am seriously thinking to overcome this mental barrier that i have for years, to go for outside workshop when i reach 60K...

The inconvenience that is going to bring about is my main reason for bringing the business outside.

People can do in half a day and they do in 3 days and charging more than double the price?

Besides, cars at 60k are nearing the end of their warranty. I'm one of those who ditched it.
