price fixing isn't a bad thing only when i say it isn't :p


The (only?) good thing about working in this area is that workshops and tyre shops are ample. These shops open till late (some for 24 hours I think) to cater night trips for hauliers. And because there’s a lot of them, the charge has to be competitive. Of course, there’s a minimum charge (c’mon, who doesn’t want to make profit?). But if you compare the price/charge with workshops outside this vicinity, they could reach up to double the price here! 

Now, I’ve had my tyre flat two times in less than a month by the same culprit, possibly at the same location (which until now, is undetermined). The cost to patch a puncture is normally RM8 but here, all the shops only charge RM5. MyCC will not be happy to hear this. Hehe..
