hahaha...during send my car to toyota service centre...seen some technician driving out customer car to test drive to solve problem ok...am accept but that am used to see many technician drive out customer car to personal thing like driving customer car out for buy "take away" lunch during near/in after lunch time.is it right for using ppl car for personel?my friend kena too,as after he send his car to there...he got another friend come to pick up for yamcha nearby service centre..after a hour my friend with his friend yamcha at mamak...he see his own car stop at same mamak drive by technician with his friend too(technician also same unifrom)walk in mamak for yamcha too.they dunno who is owner of d car...walau...what u thinking or what to do after see d drama?fine,...on the spot,my friend call to service centre asking where his car now and curi2 take pic of that 2 bastard and car parkin front of mamak..then go to service centre complaint kau2 lo.....if u wan doin ur own thing,pls leave d car in w/shop...what to do,if technician go to make copy of key?then pass to geng curi kereta?look serious here this problem.

what to do,if technician go to make copy of key?then pass to geng curi kereta?look serious here this problem.

now that is serious issue & that is very good point bro. workshop / garage should be more responsible to us customer.

if i have no time to watch over my car being fix. i wont send it at all, until i have time. to me i dont mind them taking out my ride for etc reason, they need to ask our consent as the car belong to us. if saman come also we get in trouble.

had a friend got saman for banging another car. the story started : my friend got into accident, the shop which was assign to fix his ride took it out on the same day after my friend drop it at their shop.

after a promised time period the car should be ready my friend went back to pick up the car & to his surprise its not ready yet.

waited for 2more days & the car was ready for pick up. he notice the shop fix other thing which was not damage from recent accident on his ride & look weird.

when its time to renew it he got 3 diffrent saman.

1st saman is his accident report.
2nd saman for not stopping for red light
3rd saman was someone droving his car for another accident report

(all saman is dated same day & date of 1st saman )

bloody hell right.

your mech must know wat type of person are u...
for me....my mech knows im very particular when it comes to changing parts...if any would need to be changed, he will call me 1st.....quote me price for china, taiwan, japan or ori proton ones...i will ask him the price differences & which would be best.....engine parts i will go for japan or ori ones...if exterior parts or suspension parts like lower arm can choose between taiwan or japan ones....if price difference not much must as well go for japan ones rite.....

if ones he screw up his workshop name, pics will end up here haha.....so better not screw anything up.

Hey, this was the exhaust garage I visited last year to fix the flexible pipe. The middle age man (i supposed he is the owner) told me that I need to change my extractor as there is a leakage apart from the flexible pipe. He recommended a 4-2-1 extractor for better high end rev. I was confused as according to what I understand 4-1 extract would give better high end while 4-2-1 for better low end but somehow I changed to 4-2-1 thinking that he was the exhaust specialist mah. And he further commented on the catbox which did not produce nice solid sound for the muffler. Thereafter I took my ride for a test sprint and found that instead of getting better high end rev according to what he said, I lost my high end badly though low end was improved. Confirming my paper exhaust knowledge was better than his practical knowledge, I damned it and asked to change back to 4-1 extract and hoola there came the beautiful high end power, yeah luckily he did it for me without charge.
I still opined that my original extractor was still in good condition, as confirmed by my trusted mechanic many many times over. This 'exhaust specialist' would just con and talk you into buying more from him unnecessarily instead of serving his customer with honesty.

true. build relation with customer based on honesty is important. they should implement this. business is about longevity is a lasting relationship business. kudos to good business practice garage / workshop & kudos to the bad ones cos it will end up closed for eternity. well eventually.

If u got a skills and u had a right tools with a plenty of time, I suggest better buy the spare parts and install it on ur own. It's been 5 years since I DIY my car maintenance, including changing my car clutch plate which took me almost a week to finished it, on my first attempt that is... Well, at least u didn't get cheated by the untrustworthy mechanics, besides gaining ur own experience fixing ur ride.

 

[E-CB3 - 666]

usually i will send my ride for mechenic check. after confirm whats wrong he will then tell me the parts to buy & its rough price. i will hunt for the best of both price & performance part purchase. hand it to him & watch him do the installation. if its an easy stuff like sparkplug, Brake Pad, Change Light Bulb, fuse, air filter & rotate tyre : i D.I.Y.

too bad here in malaysia we dont have garage at home like in the states.

overall im happy with my current mech. even if i have to travel from kajang all over to BT Tiga. super worth it. give good excuse to ride the highway at Speed. *ups.

Hi Bro Purist. Sorry the hear that happened to you. rm1.4k is not cheap for some, but money wise it is still money not worth spend. bloody shop owner have no ethics to this to you. hope they all rot in hell, while on earth people bully them. honestly my heart just stop & it make me angry as i continue to read on, feel like throwing red paint at their shop now.

So Guys mark this garage / workshop as Non Compliance :
