Ev0lutionz Clutched April 9, 2009 Share April 9, 2009 Rented a car few days back. Checked the servicing record of the car. 20k mileage for next servicing. Checked odometer. read 41k. Checked Engine oil. It was below half level, slightly and black like kopi. Asked the guy who passed the car to me, he said the thing was just for show only. So true? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that the thing inside is for show only. Really shocked me. 41k already still never go service. I suspect the car will break down very soon.

Will some disaster befall you if you ignore the sticker? Is your mind so weak? I think it is not so much whether there is a sticker or not. Rather,it tells whether the rental car is well maintained or otherwise. When it comes to car, regular maintainance and safety checks cannot be compromised.

I tell the guy tire bald liao still dont want change. tire bald or no bald also no diffrence, both equally will puncture leh bald good what so that ginnas like you will not try high speed or cornering, i think is a good strategy. anyway why u huan lo the car break down, its not your car, if the rental company want to be penny wise pound foolish, its really their problem.. anyway car dont break down so easily, u never hear stories of toyotas one year never service also no problem?

Bought when it first came out. NEVER serviced at all! The engine feels like screwing a dry sponge but still didnt break down! Not my car, my good friend's dad. Champagne gold, just sold off. To new owner- GLHF!!! My own car i just DIY tire rotation. Servicing very direct. I go to workshop tell the mechanic change this change that and thats it. the rest i self-inspect. engine oil+filter+labor= $90+$10tips. But i tell them not to put sticker. I dont need a piece of plastic/paper with ink to remind me. If i do i might as well not own a car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
