First way is still try to become friends with them, so more easy to neg. mah

 

Once again, everyone got their own opinion, trust yourself, final decision is still yours, comments is just a guide as everyone may experience different ways

agree with kenny....different pots suit different pot lids...

so I stress...read the advises from the forum with a rational mindset.

yes... the comments given by each & every other members r for reference only

the price & treatment they so claim to receive does not guarantee u enjoying the same privileges should u patronise the alleged shop

many of the "special" prices & treatments come after building the rapport with the mechanics & the very ppl running the business.

last but not least, do not flame the members speaking their piece for the workshops they patronise for they r only jux sharing their own experiences

This is a open forum which we share, healthy discussion and comments. Not everybody will agree what we trying to say/comments. Everything’s goes by feeling, if you feel for it, GO for it then

nowaday don't think staying loyal is a good idea, always kana chopped after that, still better to go around to compare the price and the quility of the workmanship.

maybe is the enviroment i'm in, always need more than one "diaster recovery site"

Some recommendation is good, but over recommend A bikeshop is not good as it will only rise up WAR one of this days reason> too much to explain

Good servicing High $$$

 

Friendly service , Low$$$ but long waiting time ... Tai hin

 

Mah motor worst service and High $$$ and carefully check bike for proper screws...

[Elton]

Negative remarks pls do not post too... Or else someone will start to issue you with lawyer letters liao. haha

[kennyseaw]

Actually, i am thinking is can't post Negative, why we need this thread?

[Elton]

Ya lor, because whenever there is a negative remarks about the famous shop, it's either the owner will come in as whatever nick to defend for himself or even worst mislead the members by giving out false information. These are the things that they might do considering it's $$$ in concern.....

My suggestion is to list down the Shop's name and address and that's all they need.

As for good or bad, don't need us to flame them. Days will reveal the devil's true identity. Even a shop is bad, someone comes in and says wah.. this shop so good la.... 5 hr means 5 hr la kind of sh*t.

We should just removed the remarks. So that no one can play afool here.

Above are just my personnal view and suggestions. Not relating to any shops in singapore.

I was thinking.... you do not seem to be doing what you preach eh.... or some final flaming before your suggestion is being implemented? hmmmm...

 

well it doesn't take one with perfect eyesight to see that the comments above is targeted at some specific bike shop in Singapore. If you are that NEUTRAL, why bother to point out any examples in the first place? trying to start another flaming war? or do you have first-hand experience with that shop in Singapore that you feel that you need to perform the role of Justice League? contradicting *shakes head*

Sista, like some 1 say ; one man food, another man poison.

as long you are comfortable with the services and price, then should be alright.

This thread of recommending shop to mi is to share info on getting a better deal and save some pocket money and know where about to get the service you want to be done.

As some newbie like mi would like to learn where to go instead of just heading nowhere and in the end kana chop and still the job cannot be done.

Kenny Bro,

Always remember that any negative comments in here could in-directly target the shops and in turn they could sue you for defamation...sometimes its better just to let the ppl find out them selves dun you think?
