recently my sis do the top overhaul on iswara also..iswara 1.3 a/b year 2000

type :top overhaul : depends on shop...some maybe expensive..some maybe cheap..but since my sis cars got black smoke and the carburetor also got serviced, the total time taken 1day if not mistaken to do top overhaul....
total damage/cost around rm700+..no leaking found after all but still i think the price abit expensive but maybe the tokey took some money seems he like middle person bcuz at that time my sis car also want to be painted...so he get his friend to do top overhaul bcuz his major only do paint job..the result from top overhaul?? my sis claim the engine more responsive...no more vibration on the engine...many type of overhaul...top overhaul...major overhaul(this expensive more than top overhaul cause do overhaul for whole engine)..u can google about type of overhaul to find the answer..

this one based on my experience

air cond : recently also..not too long time ago...maybe a few months back..my aircond system just fine but i feel the its
not cold enuf..soo i service the aircond at aircond specialist..not expensive just rm80 with cleaning cooling coil,
service, refill back gas etc etc...the result..impressive...im buying my car from second hand dealer soo when the aircond man service it, he told me that the aircond never been service since the car roll out from factory...im just sharing my experience to you..better do the aircond service at aircond specialist only..or what i mean at shop that doing aircond
job only...

engine starter : this happen to me like everyday.. ..happen to my hyundai atos...just let it cool for few minutes then i can crank it and start it...if when hot, the sound like "ketakk ketakk"..soo its the mechanic found out the
starter prob...u can try survey at automotive garage for price for the starter bro..

alternator : sorry cannot give review so far bcuz so far no prob..


just sharing my experience..wut important is to get the right shop to do the best workmanship at average cost...
