ACMA Engineering - Value servicing
16 Jan 2017|24,291 views
How do you put a price on service? For example, how much should a typical car servicing cost? $80? $100? Many of us probably have some ballpark figure (or at least a range) in our heads, based on getting tips from our friends or perhaps checking online. But in most cases, it's only once you head down to the workshop and have the mechanic assess your car that you get a specific cost for your servicing.
ACMA Engineering Works & Trading Pte Ltd stands out from the crowd by offering a fixed price car servicing package, all for a grand total of just $50.
Who is ACMA Engineering Works & Trading Pte Ltd and what services does it offer?
The company's genesis was rooted in engineering, working on projects with large-scale engineering companies. Established in 2007 by Alvin Chee, an ex-Army regular, ACMA worked with companies such as ST Kinetics, ST Synthesis, Triangle Auto Pte Ltd and Vantage Automotive Limited to provide automotive repair services for fleet vehicles.
However, Alvin always had the ambition to set up a car servicing workshop that operates slightly differently. The car servicing workshop opened just two years ago, in November 2014, and Alvin came in with the objective of doing things slightly differently. He wanted to create a workshop with a fun and relaxed atmosphere, something he felt was lacking in many local workshops.
He wanted a holistic place where customers can have their cars serviced, but also feel relaxed in a homely environment - after all, just because the car needs to be in the workshop for an hour, that doesn't mean that hour has to be a boring, wasted one. As a result, the workshop features a customer lounge with video games and OSIM massage chairs (which have just been upgraded from OSIM Udiva to OSIM Ulove), perfect for whiling away time as the mechanics work on your car. Complimentary cold soft drinks, as well as hot drinks are provided, too.
He also holds on closely to two guiding concepts - economical services, and employing Singaporean mechanics.
What's unique about the services offered by ACMA?
ACMA's $50 servicing package is its standout offer. This stems from Alvin's belief in focusing on economical services - only doing what is necessary. He believes in advising customers on what definitely needs to be done, but also holding off on things that do not require immediate replacing.
It's easy to think of car servicing as a one-size-fit-all package. However, that's not always the case. Take for example a car's air filter - a car that commutes primarily between home and the CBD won't require changing the air filter as often as a car that say, commutes to work at Jurong Island. ACMA believes in catering to each car's specific needs, rather than just administering a generic servicing package. This also helps the customer to save on costs - there's no need to replace parts that haven't reached the end of its usable lifespan.
As a result, ACMA is able to offer an extremely economical and competitive price for its servicing package. The $50 servicing package includes four litres of fully synthetic 5W40 MM Lubricant oil (a Hong Kong brand), one engine oil filter, interior vacuum, replacing of side, tail, brake and reverse light bulbs, as well as a complimentary set of Bosch wiper blades.
Alvin also fastidiously sources for good-quality and value-for-money parts and products, as well as keenly managing his supply chain. By reducing steps in the supply chain, he can pass on savings to his customers.
Alvin is also steadfast in his belief to hire local mechanics. He trains mechanics from scratch, and also sends his mechanics to courses to further improve their skills. He has put together a young, local team, with all of them under 30-years of age. While he admits that hiring mechanics from overseas may be more convenient, he strongly believes in offering Singaporean workers more opportunities. Plus, by training his staff from ground up, he actually is able to create a sense of long-term stability and security for his workshop.
In Alvin's opinion, foreign employees will leave one day but Singaporean ones have a much higher chance of staying long-term, hence, a more positive return on investment.
