I'm new here,just wants to warn everyone about GSC.
When there for some aircon problem then almost conned into engine overhaul,but luckily that day no money then pay $60 'checking fee' then drove off.I went to another workshop and found out only 'relay' spoil and got it fix for $80.
This is how they work:
While the boss(the one with the most cunning face)is talking to his mech,one indian fat,well dress man will try to distract you by trying to sell u this $5000 service package that can turn yr car from 1.6L to 1.8L (???)The boss will teach his mech wat to say to customer.They will say engine got problem need major overhaul around $2000 then u say no $ they will say ok lah just do the important one first.... around $800.The lady boss and some of the staff will be involve in the 'act' too.
Just avoid this workshop at all cost!
DO not send your car to GSC Auto for any service or repair as many of us have learnt our hard lessons there. To begin, they will try all means to get you to send your car there, via promotion or simply telling you that it will not be too costly to send your car in to check out the problems. Once your car is there, they will start off by saying that further diagnose is required by removal of certain part and it will cost additional $$. Once you fall in for this trick they will follow on to say that certain part of your car may also be having problem or needs certain type of servicing. At any point during this process if they sense that you are reluntant to take up any of their offer, they will use their ever-famous scar tactic on you or offer you another package. This is a workshop to avoid at all cost.
To those unfortunate car owners who have bought the Groupon offer in recent months, please hang around in the workshop during the servicing to ensure that they service your car as per the agreement and handle your car with care. I have observed how bad their PRC workers handled the cars during the servicing and it's definitely not something one would expect from a ISO certified workshop.
