Sky high price at...

My friends Rio couldn't start and she called Autob**cs at Bukit Batok, they towed the car (from Hillview Area very near their shop) then looked at it and told her it would cost more than $500 to fix.
She refused and called Kia to fix it. Kia towed it and repaired the car for $180.00.
Bad enough that Autob**cs wanted to charge so much, they then asked her to pay $170.00 for towing the car!!!
What the hell is that about!? They have cards all over their shop stating free towing! They can't expect people to use their services if they bloody well charge so much can they? -
maybe is only free if you use Autob* fixing service?Originally posted by Bloop...:My friends Rio couldn't start and she called Autob**cs at Bukit Batok, they towed the car (from Hillview Area very near their shop) then looked at it and told her it would cost more than $500 to fix.

Got any small print or not? -
...but isn't that considered cheating? They tow the car there, then give a ridiculous price and say take it or now you have to pay another ridiculous price for towing.Originally posted by pqr:maybe is only free if you use Autob* fixing service?

I am going down to talk to them this weekend. Bloody hell... will complain to CASE if necessary. -
yeah...$170 for towing such a SHORT distance is definitely daylight robbery. even if u r not an AA member. You sign up for a 1 yr membership on the spot and enjoy their free towing service, it's still less than $100 (thereabt)
Usually pte towing companies charge betwn $60-80. Even if it's at night the price shouldnt go up 1 fold. Rediculous. -
It is very ex i agree BUT..... maybe ur fren shld haf check the towing fee first.
Also wad type of tow trunk they use? is it the normal de or the king dolly where all 4 wheels r off the road. If it is the king dolly it is more ex. -
What towing charge? They're handing out cards at Autob**cs stating FREE Car Breakdown Towing. The only condition is that they will tow to Autob**s only!Originally posted by huoye:It is very ex i agree BUT..... maybe ur fren shld haf check the towing fee first.

Doesn't state that you must repair there regardless of what out of the world price they quote or you must pay for repairs. -
Maybe they see ur fren lady driver.. know nuts about all these.. wanna cheat her off her money or something?

CAS also say free towing when u join as member but u look at the small print lor
-
certain credit cards oso got free towing, even from west m`sia.......provided tow to their workshop n let them chop lar. nothing is free.
-
I already looked at the small print. It only says free if tow to Autob**cs. Doesn't say you have to be a member, it doesn't say they have to fix it.Originally posted by huoye:CAS also say free towing when u join as member but u look at the small print lor
Nevermind... I'll settle this with them in court if need be. You all sound like people who have no idea what your consumer rights are. -
This Autob**cs car accessories also damn ex....

well..... i did not see the autobacs card before so how to know what it says.
We are commenting based on what you told us.
Take to court lor. To you may be worth it but the amt you spend on lawyer fees is many times more then the towing charge and its not even your car.
To me i will just speak to them to ask them lower theri towing charges. Just try pay them $50 and close the case and treat it as a lesson learnt.
