I think servicing in AD, no matter which one, price confirmed much ex than outside workshop la.

Ya  confirm more exp servicing in AD.. but only 6% higher in price meh? I expecting alot higher, else ppl wont go outside workshop liao if only 6% diff in price

That's true, at least for us. In 2021 I brought my wife to BM, we viewed the altis, she opened the driver's door peeked inside and closed the door. I asked her what happened and why she didn't want to sit inside, she said the interior looks dated and hated the handbrake. So in the end we walked in and out of BM in 5 mins.

 

Almost all women just go for looks of the car. Nice to drive or reliable don’t give a hoot. 
had I bought a French car for the wife. I know that she will take my car when the French crap breaks and then it will be my inconvenience and wallet to get it fixed.

The cost of a standard maintenance service at Borneo Motors is said to be around 6 per cent more than a comparable workshop.

🤔🤔🤔

Not only more expensive but sit there the whole damn day for a simple oil change. Outside in and out within 30mins. 
And please don’t say simi 50pt checks. Just simply tick the check list blindly and I have to pay $1 per tick.

Nowadays not easy to find car that have handbrake le. Cars with handbrake now really like driving an ancient car. Cars with electronic parking brake is so common on almost every make/model now. 😂

Agreed lo, even the simple oil change servicing, also need to wait at least half a day or longer. Don't know what they are doing lo. The simi 50 pt checks bluff people one la. Last time i saw it myself when sent car to AD for simple oil change. Saw them drive in the car for barely 15 mins and the car was parked back at the collection point, thought completed liao but waited for 1 hour, SE no informed me car ok liao. They simply just drag the servicing timing and make it looks like they are doing a super good job. They didn't know i was there looking at them. [rolleyes]

IMHO.
I go there so many times, standard package most of the time was less than half day.

I avoid all ADs after sales. Only went back for the free servicing and even that was an unbearable wait.

I think all AD will cover your camera when you send in your car for servicing. But many times they only cover the front camera, rear camera still can see.

That's why you see the lounge in AD usually quite nice, cause they know you need to wait long for your car servicing lo.

Outside workshop don't have even a decent place for you to sit and wait, if you want to wait there. So the servicing must be fast.
