[QUOTE="zank, post: 377504, member: 7904"] It is almost impossible to find a perfect shop, there are time they give you the best prce, they are times also they will cut your meat a bit from time to time, giving you extreme cheap for certain items, and then over charge you on other items. I think the best is call to those few tops shop in KL (Auto Bavarian, Inner Power, First Division, Munich Auto just to name afew) to check on the price, you can quickly know what is the average price, then typically shop will like to make some profit on top of that, I think 10-20% is ok as long as they provide the insurance warranty for a few months. After all every business needs to make some profit to sustain. As long the margin is not unreasonable. You can also buy direct and get them to install for you, but you better make sure you know what you are buying to avoid time/energy hassle, beside shop sometime dont provide you warranty. it is a pros and cons, but for the simple hardware with no brain, you can buy direct and install in any tom/harry shop around, but for something more complicated, I will rather they make some margin to cover the warranty. So, do you home work before getting cut.. and regret... also make sure you get the quote before proceed! [/QUOTE]
