Normal service should be under $200. Check your belts, adjustment of timing chain, maybe injectors.

You can look for Ah Yong or Keith . Both of them are friendly and Pro. Remember to ask for the 20% discount on labour.

2. check for traces of oil on ur valve cover, replace valve cover seal if traces of oil found.

3. is the water pump replaced before? if it does not look new to u replace it.

4. replace thermostat.
