PeterPP Clutched August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 I have been using Autosaver services for almost 12 yrs already. No issues with them and their people are friendly and knowledgeable. From old Hipporolla, to my ex Altis 1.8 and to my current Civic, Svc has been great and they don't restrict what what stuff you need to buy from them etc. They once managed to solve some strange Check Engine light constantly on error in my ex Altis. BM wanted me to change the whole MAS sensor which cost almost $800. Turns out that the MAS sensor was covered with dust and silicon no thanks to the stainless steel open pod filter I was using at that time. The sensor was cleaned and the ECU reset. They also cleaned my throttle body just to be sure. Mind u, BM, being such a large AD, DOESN'T have or employed staff who doesn't know how to do a perm reset of the ECU! Clearing error codes and doing full reboot are 2 different jobs. The check engine light may still come back on sometime later if you just do a simple 'Error code clear' command. Autosaver prices have risen over the years as well. But they are still cheaper than any AD la. The only downside for Autosaver is that they don't have any 4 wheel alignment machine. As such, big jobs eg shocks replacement, you will need to go to other tire shops for wheel alignment after shocks replacement. http://www.autosaver.com.sg/ My KIA Picanto was service at Woodland workshop and found they are providing the professional service. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcz Neutral Newbie August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 May I know how much did u quantify to price in that servicing cost? i can jus estimate ...if outside workshop with a new car, jus normal servicing i reckon probably the cost max will be $150. C&C charge $2000 for 3yrs with roughly total 7 servcing.. Anyway...one way to safeguard our Kia and not being hold ransome by C&C..see any bros out there have gd recommendation for workshops that specialise in Kia servicing ..so we can by pass CC. And spare parts we can go direct to Min Ghee Auto Pte. Ltd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheefarn 5th Gear August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 Anyone white sport k3 their body kit n car color different? As mentioned b4, the bodykits are locally painted and fitted. Its not factory original parts. The color difference is unavoidable esp for white... The painting process and overall paint treatment for the bodykits will naturally be different from factory process mah. There will be color temp difference even if the exact paint code is used. This is why I strongly recommend new SX sports buyers to instruct SE NOT to install the bodykits. Get that $500 credit back for something more useful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_flan 2nd Gear August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 Anyone requested a defer of delivery of their new rides despite ready for collection? C&C said that for every day of defer kenna penalty of $50/-, I was thinking penalty for what.. Carpark where they store their car is theirs so who charges them? And I have to write in a letter to them for "Appeal".. WTF. The customer has to appeal?? The original delivery date is only deferred 4 days from my original defer date as I going overseas. By right they are going to handover end of this month. I planning to defer mine after the 7th month as my family members objected. Similarly for my brother's car also after the 7th month.

ricleosg 4th Gear August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 actually i noticed this on the body kits from taobao too.where the paint on the kit is brighter than the car. I thought this was due to them putting the kits on cars that were not brand new. Looks like is a problem of paint matching. is the kit also snow pearl white effect or just plain glossy white?

I think the dealer must have gotten the kits from cheaper sources, hence poorer paint match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly for my brother's car also after the 7th month. hopefully your appeal is successful! if they promised you a late delivery date initially and the car is now ready earlier, i think you should be able to argue for a free delay since the original date was later?

Yup.. I have the feel that each SE there doesn't know what the rest are doing, and each quoting and telling customers their own "stories".. Kia SG mgt don't seem to have the same message for all of their sales folks to convey to customers.... So its up to customers to probe and dig and get their demands met with their respective SE.. I think its up to each SE to agree n fight for you for your specific requirements..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashbang Turbocharged August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 Colour for the bodykit is totally off. Don't let them get away with it! It's so off that you're better off without a bodykit, else people think your brand new car so fast "lak sek". ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
