Hi Everyone,
Curious to know what workshops in S'pore charge for labour on various services like oil & filter change, tyre rotation, alignment, etc and whether there is a standard market rate for these.
I know places like autobacs charge $30 (20+10) for oil and filter change using own parts.

Thanks for the replies bros... Just hoping to find out what market rate is like. Went one workshop (quite big) in woodlands ask how much to change EO and filter. They quote $45 and have to wait 3hrs. Sounds like they want to chop carrot, so in the end since I was going fishing with NS bros in changi, went autobacs loyang to do / buy brake fluid top up. $30 quite thorough job and they actually pull my sparkies out and inspect (not eye power), and airbrush clean my engine bay. What I like most is prices listed up there on the board, transparent for all to see. Some folks say can get cheaper elsewhere so that why I also ask

Bro, can try going JB to do your servicing. Labour also 30 to 50 but is in Ringgit Malaysia. For both my car i always do my servicing inside, just need bring my own engine oil. The rests spare parts also cheaper there.
