Okay, so it looks like Kaitenaz is quite popular and is satisfactory, but rather expensive.

full synth engine oil - RM150

Q8 ATF - RM110

PIAA super silicone wiper - around RM200

stainless steel drop-in air filter - RM200

labour charge is RM40 for engine oil and ATF

judge it yourself, i know there are some place which is cheaper than this, but with all the parts that i've change, at least better than service center.

RM15K in just 6 months is too much lare. Even yearly major service don't cost that much. Fakap mechanics, tell them to go fly kite.

i see, but any workshop can service our cars without problem. its whether they are able to handle and diagnose the root cause of complicated problems. this noise in my car has been here for nearly 2 years, so far over about 4 mechanics i went to, only City Alignment manage to reduce the sound, but not stop it completely =\ actually they manage to stop it for about a week or 2 after my major overhaul with them, but then it came back  vmad.gif

where the sound coming from ?

go out to the back of kaitenaz, turn left and go straight you will see Kin Alignment

I had bad experience with Kin Alignment. They told me I needed to install adjustable camber nuts to fix my car alignment problem. After installing the nuts, the alignment got worse. Really lousy job they did.

Beware! this shop (LBH tyre service sdn bhd - uptown damansara utama) will con the extra charge over normal retail price. I did changed my car tires there last week (October 2015), after 3 days, I found the retail price should be RM155, but they simply con me for RM205 for it!
