For me, it is better to keep track of the air filter. When was the last change... For older car better change it once in a while....

i have all my service record entered into OneNote and I would usually double check if the foreman upsell or it's due to change

They charge by the activity, not by time
There's a max limit charge for each type of activity, normally workshops got display a table of the charges, required by the government

really? dont think i ever saw any price list displayed on workshops 

they need to display the charge based on job's description??

for example:

1. change engine oil, oil filter and etc = RM $$

2. change brake pad, brake oil = RM $$

right??

yeah, same....

even at my friend's workshop

Some shop put up, some dont
Something like this, somebody shared in lyn...

Every workshop should have this price list

Tarak guna actually, the range so big for each type of service

Should breakdown by type of car capacity or brand
