Servicng done at outside workshop

[Vonduos]

i think high point do not have all the parts that we need. i asked for aircon filter dont have. the suspension no stock yet. etc etc.

[Zacer]

agreed we dun expect alot from a normal workshope to carry all the parts...

their favourite excuse is if anything that may affect the engine, they have the right to void the warranty.

 

it is like throwing a big net to cover all areas, after that they'll sit down to tee kam which ones they'll void.

Today just went down to the workshop that Encik recommended. Brought my own engine oil and oil filter. Workshop owner, Ah Meng, is very friendy. During servicing, talked to him about the car (Optra) and he suggested some ideas on how to improve the performance of the car. Did a checked on my under carriage, suspension system, spark plugs, lights, ATF, engine oil, belts and serveral other standard serving stuff. Also cleaned the engine area and suspensions area for me. I find him to be honest too. Told him want to change the spark plugs but after checking them, he told me my current one still in good condition and can use for at least another 10K. Also returned me the excess engine oil (about 1/2 bottle). Hmmm.... how come SA workshop always say they use up all my 4L of engine oil.....

 

All in all, took only about 40 mins. Happy with the work. For all this, I paid $20 only. I will go back there again.

 

Please tell us the name and address of this workshop. There is no need to PM anybody as good news must be shared openly.

I wanted to do it at SA...but the receptionist told me 20K km is a BIG job which required one day !!!!...ask her wat is the big job ?,,she said "like spark plugs" !!!

I am not sure what sort of car they "specialized" at. I had seen RR, VW, Rover at the workshop before. Mostly those angmoh cars.

$20 is reasonable. but SA may void yr warranty if your car is still new

[Papercup]

I still go back SA to do servicing. I service my car once every 5K so I alternate between SA and this workshop. I had modded quite a lot of stuffs and they still didn't void my waranty (already more than 1 yr old). I guess just some engine oil change are valid enough for them to void the warranty.
