Had my service at C&C for 37000km at around $430++, include change of 4 spark plug and a round air filter, not sure for air con or engine.... i don't know much about car... Does not include engine flush or other air con treatment, or engine treatment, wheel balancing / rotation. only benefit is drink milo and eat bao..and free car wash....plus a large plasma TV to watch while waiting.... Look at the price different, way too expensive... heart very pain... i used to encounter once (early Jan07) the engine cap disappear when i park my car in MSCP, the black engine oil drip on the floor in a curved pattern. They towed back and ask me to pay for the engine oil, just happen is about time to service (5.5months) so i ask them to service my car, and i had to pay for the caps (i think is $3.5), but i argue with them that i suspect the technician did not tiden properly during the last service. end up still LL got to pay..... Warranty is either 3yrs or 100k whichever comes first.... It is better to go to CNC for ur servicing as it guarantees ur warranty... But some of us here thinks that they tend to overprice their services....

i think the price does not include filter and spark plug, mine is Auto hatch back , and synthetic oil, and one thing bro got to take note, For C&C servicing, the engine oil is 3.5L for the price list, for Cerato, we got to top up another amount(around $15) for the 0.5L and the price is exclude GST. i just know i paid $430++ for the 37000km servicing, i forget how much is the spark plug, but the round filter is around $25-26? so total is $340 + 25 + 15 extra oil + spark plug + GST = ?? any bro include wheel rotation and engine flush? can share the price? i did once, wheel rotation is $20, engine flush is 50 or 60, and imagine if you combine this during the 40k servicing, you got to fork out easily 500++ That's the price to Guarantee the warranty

Dear Bro, you mentioned can bring our oil, then how much they deduct from the listed price? thinking to go CDGE next month The last time Carrefour offer 5L Mobil Fully Synthetic Oil at $49.90 or $59.90(cannot remember) regards, Botak CAS service not too bad. They check quality of the liquids before confirming change is needed or not - unlike C&C which make mandatory changes at prefixed mileage. E.g. they told me no need to change coolant during my 40K fix. Also, they told me that my aircon belt has cracked, but can choose to change later at 60k/80k because to change it requires removal of the other belts - which should be changed at 80k/100k. Lastly, I asked for nitrogen tyre replacement and got it. Overall quite friendly and fast. Can bring your own oil too.

Just did my 75k servicing at Chip Soon. Total cost $360 plus GST $390/- Servicing include changing of FUEL filter which found under the rear sit. Servicing include normal oil servicing using synthetic oil, spark plug, flush coolant and engine oil treatment, wheel balancing and rotation and top brake fluid. It's consider major servicing for me. Next project to change water pump and belting.

To: All Bro & Sister, Don't risk to go for cheap labor most of the workshops can change depend on experience, timing is very importance for the engine performance. ::)I had changed mine timing, water pump & air con belts. Don't waste your time & money. Change all at one go for just $380.00. if you only change timing belt by then other two belts is almost tear & wear. I change at 1001 Bukit Merah Lane 3, #01-53. (Alexandra Village) Call Ah Tee at 62711624. for an appointment, He is a Kia owner too.

Does anyone has any experience with Stamford Tyres Lok Yang? They were having this "Service Contract" priced at $1500 which covers 3 Normal Servicing & 1 Major Servicing and other stuff. Details in the link. Did my own calculations and seemed like not too bad leh... think C&C is much too expensive to go back after the 10k servicing. www.stamfordtyres.com.sg/Any comments? Is CAS Sungei Kadut really cheap and gd? Near my house neh...
