Skodee Neutral Newbie August 2, 2003 Share August 2, 2003 Hi, Just wanted to share my satisfaction with the service I got from Servo today..have heard that their service is good and I feel the same way after my first visit there to rep my battery. My alarm system goes auto lock when the battery is replaced and keys are agonisingly inside...Philip the boss (whom replaced the battery for me) offered me his own car for me to drive back home and take my spare key after few attempts to try opening fails. Very few workshop will offer you this and I am really pleased. This visit got my thumbs up and I'm sure it will not be my last. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky8807 1st Gear August 3, 2003 Share August 3, 2003 Hi skodee, How much did u pay for the battery? What brand and AH rating is that, mine coming to 2 years and may need replacement soon. Look like the customer service rendered is satisfactory and good as u have mentioned. May consider them for simple job as alernative to Czech. However, there is one minor slip-up, if they were to take the extra precautionary measure then the trip back home could be avoided. Or else, I would be fully convince "My alarm system goes auto lock when the battery is replaced and keys are agonisingly inside...Philip the boss (whom replaced the battery for me) offered me his own car for me to drive back home and take my spare key after few attempts to try opening fails.

Skodee Neutral Newbie August 4, 2003 Author Share August 4, 2003 Hi SKy8807, The battery is Varta and cost $180 inclusive of labour and also comes with a one year warranty. It is maintenance free where you do not need refill of battery water. As for AH rating I need to check and get back to you. Yeah its a slip of the mind for them to leave my keys inside but incidentally I've driven a car I would have never dream of driven before...VW Passat 1.8 Turbo.. and its really a demon under the feet!

Wrxblue 1st Gear August 12, 2003 Share August 12, 2003 hahaa..thats not his car..that his partner's car..hahaa dark blue one???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodee Neutral Newbie August 17, 2003 Author Share August 17, 2003 Hi Sky8807 I've check my Varta's rating is 62AH 12V 480A. I would think normally a battery will last only 2 years due to the humidity in sgp. Got a friend of mine driving an Octy (1.5 yrs old) and battery was flat while in driving in m'sia...and his car is installed with an amp, subwoofer...maybe thats the reason for the battery being flat prematurely..
