Tomika Aircon Service 

Technically incompetent. Changed my compressor and fan. Quoted a price and after doing the job, called and played the tactic that many other things need to be changed and charged a higher price. Accepted that and paid him. After one week aírcon gave out hot air and I went back. They checked and said nothing is wrong and I have to insist that they went for a drive with me. After that left my car there for them to fix. Went back after he said was fixed but it wasn’t. Then they said they didn’t know what the problem was and even sort of told me he was too busy to attend to my problem because he had other customers (and I was not a customer?!) After much talk they reluctantly by passed the heater to remove the hot air. After 1 day the car gave out noise. Messaged him but he ignored me. I brought it to the my Mechanic repair shop and the gentlemen was able to tell me quite instantly what was wrong and was able to temporary solve the noise problem until parts are available. Very bad experience.

what is exactly the problem after your mechanic checked on it?  did your mechanic managed to solved the hot air after Tomika changed your sky high price parts?

today my wifey took the qashqai to nissan at leng kee for servicing and to diagnose some noises from the under carriage as she doesnt wanna go to outside workshop. the mileage on the car is 73000km plus and instead of conducting a package A ($181.68 b4 GST) for 70000km.

the service advisor did a package B ($337.81 b4 GST) without telling her and further got her to do air con cleaning plus disinfection ($119.62 b4 GST) saying it is for covit 19 and safety issues. SA also recommended an engine flush ($72.9 b4 GST) and told her that it is necessary at this mileage. She has also paid for 3L synthetic engine oil at $89.30 b4 GST

The whole bill came up to $663.00 with GST. I read that tan chong standard are getting bad after taken over by contractors. But to prey on a helpless woman is unbelievable and down right dishonest. I have to say some outside workshops have more integrity then them...

I told my wifey that this will be our last car from tan chong as too many unhappy experiences.

This also happens in many external workshops as well. It can also be worst. Some finds parts where it doesnt need to be repaired or replaced.

Hi Icetea,

Dun feel bad, this is standard package and $ as well as some being good to do, including sythetic oil, engine flush and aircon cleaning.

I am ok and not ignorant on these things but I wil still do these mentioned 3 items ... so enjoy the nice feeling that your engine is well protected by syntheticneo that also last 10km instead of 5km, fresh clean air from cleaned aircon system and cleaned engine.

Even for the package B, at least someone had taken a closer look at your car and did not report any major issue .. should also be positive. In addition, you can go back to them if something is amiss.

If indeed the 1.2L, I do agree it is not a reliable car especially those earlier ones before Jub 2016 ... 2.0L is fine and if you had owned 3 new Sunny of different gens like I did but din own the qashqai 1.2l, you may say tanchong has the most vfm and reliable cars.

PS: 1.2L qashqai made in uk and using Renault engine is not exactly a typical car from Nissan, japanese or Tanchong.

Cheers.

Richard

Hi Richard

I am feeling bad because I have done the air con cleaning, changed air con filter and engine flush in my last servicing.

Seriously, didn't expect tan chong to do a package B for 70000km servicing. Till date, I still couldn't believe nissan excludes engine oil from their servicing packages. Anyway, what done is done as wifey is the one that agreed to it and I cant be upset with wifey otherwise she would use her nagging power on me during bedtime as peaceful sleep is very important to someone my age...

I used to own a subaru before and tan chong workshops have given me many unhappy experiences, if it is not my wifey who doesnt wanna go to an external workshop i would not have gone back to nissan.

Basically, reliable cars and workshops are a thing of the past or is it my fate that i m not destined to meet one 🙂

Enough said, remember to wash those hands and stay safe...

Having the same problem, Tan Cheong quoted $350 to repair. Saying that their technician will have to remove the unit for a few days to service it.

Now looking at other possible alternatives.

Hi Bros, do you guys know how many litres of engine oil is needed for our 1.2A ? My mechanic told me ours need 5 litres which I am quite surprise as this is only a small 1.2L engine. Thank you for your reply in advance.

It is 4+ Litres. As a result, we would need to get a 5L, as 4L is insufficient. You can refer to the owner's manual. Turbo engines tend to require more oil as well.

Thanks Bro. I google and it is 4.6L.

guys,

My QQ hit 50k mileage, and the tyre seems almost botak.

been digging the message in here, seems the option narrows down to Michelin primacy series. just curious for QQ we need to get the Michael primacy 4 SUV series? or would the normal Primacy 4 is sufficient? what are the difference between SUV series and the normal one?

 

Thanks :).

I think there is only one option. Michelin Primacy 4ST (I am using this as well; might try Bridgestone in the next change). The Primacy 4 SUV is a new lineup,, does not have the size for QQ when I last checked.  So yes, you can use the Normal Primacy 4 ST range.

Many thanks for the response, @giraffey99

 

Could you share how's the performance of Primacy 4ST?

Let me source around for Primacy 4ST.

Thanks again,

Cheers!

[giraffey99]

Primacy is not a performance tire. Its meant to give more comfort. In this aspect, I saw notable difference in comfort, road noise and durability/wear-n-tear certainly improved over the original tyres (mine was Goodyear).

Hi QQ owners,

Recently done 80K service at TC svc Ctr BK tima. Svc guy advised me to change a lot of things, Crankshaft oil seal, Manifold gasket, Rocker cover gasket, Throttle O ring, Lower link . All cost will be about $1600. Parts cost is cheap but charges for labor is counting as individually. I surprised to know many parts need for less than 4 year car and all these not cover for 3+2 year warranty. 

AirCon filling gas also chargeable ($$104) after cooling coil repair. 

Just want to know whether wear and tear to change all these in this less than 4 years car?

Will suggest getting an external workshop to assess and also provide the quote.
