Just did an oil change for my Exora.
Shop was fine with me bringing own oil.
Charged me a reasonable RM 15 oil change labour and Rm15 oil filter part cost.
However the shop seems to attract alot of commercial trucks being serviced there.

Would recommend those whom wanna change their oil here.

RM15 labour charge in USJ township is real cheap ...

Mine varies between RM 15 to RM 25 depending on which workshop

I have worked as a mechanic before. Overseas. So I know how it goes in the shop. And if I wanted to, I know how to overcharge as well. But I don't.



But I understand that the system of charging for labour is all over the board here.

Labour = time cost.


How much do you charge your base rate for labour / time it takes to do the job = how much you charge the customer.

There is no logic of charging 30 ringgit for labour for an oil change, when the job takes 10-15 mins. Your shop labour rate is 180/hr? (care to note, this is shop labour rate so profit has been included, not the worker salary, which could be a bangla)


I have no problems of $30 if the service goes beyond just the oil change, like general checkup top and bottom (since the car is jacked up), clean your air filters, check and fill up other fluids, check lights, etc.

Again, shops here have zero PR. Want to charge also do not know how to charge properly. Again, I understand the concept time = money. If the mechanic spends proper time on it, he/she should be paid properly. The problem here, the mechanic doesn't know how to explain it to the customer.




I just change my own oil. I used to buy lots from Tesco when they have discounted oil. Buy the filter from spare part shop.

Oil disposal, I just take to my friends shop and empty it into thier tanki

oh last service in puchong which nearby the mountain for people hiking ... they charged me rm40 for change gear oil and change engine oil ..

You can try this place at Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur. They charged me RM10 for engine oil change.

RM80 for labour i guess is reasonable since u are replacing so many items.

Rm25 for oil change, self eo and filter.
yet did a shoddy job.
oil dripping from oil pan nut.
oil overfilled 0.5cm above Max line.
nut overtightened.
I should be able to return back and request a free repair of the nut right? probably the seal was not refitted properly.

I manage to find a mechanic at Cheras that charges rm20 for oil change job. I guess that is the standard price nowadays. Cheaper if its 'kedai bawah pokok'.

Rm7 foroil change/filer only in Nepal workshop ,✍🏻👍🏼👍🏿

Probably not.

Most mechanic, not all, dislike customer to bring their own engine oil and filter.

And usually they do not bear any responsibilities for come back job.

RM20 for labour + their oil filter, I brought my own engine oil. They will use compressed air to clean my air filter also

Any recommended workshop nearby Taman Muda area?

Don't wanna service your car DIY?

My workshop I been to,
If use own EO and Filter, labour charge RM25
If use their EO and Filter, labour charge RM13
Is this a LOL?

Usually if you use their EO and filter they wont charge labour.. cuz they already have a profit margin from their product..

Go behind sek keb Pandan Indah. There is a workshop beside the laundry at corner lot. Shop name is AH AUTO. Usually they charge rm30 for EO change
