attended d opel svc clinic tis morn @ 8.30a.m.

 

My astra-g is rated good after the 28-pt check-up & it took abt 1 hr. the svc advisor attended to me & my car was checked by another technician in the workshop. I think the checkup is useful for cars > 1 yr old (mine is only 6 mths old), but the checkup nevertheless gives me a peace of mind.

 

In addition, there's a goodie bag (contained calendar, decal, brochure, hongbao packets, water bottle, $10 shell petrol voucher, 2 mandarin oranges), while stocks last.

 

also met my ex-neighbor who now drives a new black Astra H & another uncle, n we talk co*k sing song.

 

my car was washed by ae after d checkup. :)

 

i oso testdrove d astra h again.

Well, some chap close to FSI sources insisted that, "...our fuels are clean enough wat...". Whatever he meant by that.... [:|]

As for why one brought in the FSI and the other didn't, let me put on my conspiracy theory cap here and ponder....ponder....perhaps one cares about the detrimental effect of the fuel situation here on the actual outcome of the engine and the other doesn't care ? [gossip] Or maybe it's another case of "no-market".... [:p]

Like dat, no more going to JB to pump petrol........ [laugh]

i wanted to attend too. but i only received the thing in the mail on the 25 and that was the last day to call for booking...unsure.gif

 

the previous time they had a service clinic, i went too. think that was last year or so, i think it was good!

 

AE's service is pretty good.
