U have already did it then what’s the point? Hahaha just make sure they did a good job and enjoy the ride. But think u miss out something. Change gear oil and oil pan... that is impt. Already 10 years and wonder previous owner change before a not...

Just curious if the price is reasonable so next time when i go other WS will have a reference.

Thanks for highlighting on the gear oil and oil pan. Doubt the owner change.Cause when i took over the tyre still is the 10years ago one.

Btw what will be cost to change gear oil and oil pan?

Labor charge close to 500 for all these works. I dun get that. 10 yr old tyre?!!

Look for Bavworks. I change my gear oil there at a good price. Can contact William Yeo. One of the site sponsor here also. 81833083

Prices look ok for singapore workshop.
Change atf pan & oil.
Check engine oil sensor
Check engine valve seals
Enjoy your ride

As your car is 10years old. My opinion is to use better engine oil like Fuchs ... price different not much. But better performance

is 7 days too long for the job performed?

No idea lei why labour so much. Maybe they not bmw specialist. Ya 10yr old tyre when i took over. I check the tyre year and it year 08. After i took over i change the tyre to PS4. The previous owner always overseas and dont drive a lot. 10yrs only clock 49k km mileage. So i took over and renew coe.

Maybe they not bmw specialist. I also thought why so long.

7 days for that amount of work you mentioned is a joke. some pricing is on the high side...
forget about going to that ws.

Which ws u recommend? I’m always with Bavworks.. so far quite impressive. Got other options?

 

[jonleeck]

what the TS did was too superficial! the jobs done were too simple! hoist it up, there are countless arms and brushes to be done for a 10yr old car..... mileage aside. the gb gaskets bottom gaskets etc!!( those were the hard jobs) any ws can also do what the ts mentioned! not to mention, run a full diagnostic test.

 

[jonleeck]

go Bavworks! thats my solution to u!
