Yesterday i went to top speed auto care sdn bhd in glenmarie to service my car.
i just want to do the regular service, change the lubricant etc.
but the mechanic told me,
my absorber is broken and i need to change the whole set.
my car is just 4 years old.
he told me if i dont change the absorber,
it will be dangerous in raining.
then he asked to change the brake disk,
because he said it is too thin,
if i dont change, finally there will be rubbing and there is fire.
i dont feel any differences after i change the disk.
below is break down.
lubricant 10/40 RM79
925 bulb RM5
alignment RM20
power steering oil RM 70
brake pad ft RM90
halogen bulb RM18
absorber FT R/L RM390
absorber RR RM260
spark plug RM 68
absorber link ft RM160
brake disc rotor RM290
Labour RM 90
bumber clip RM 40
camber kit FT R/L RM100 (one pair) - according to top speed, without these camber, they cannot do alignment, this is just an adjustable screw which cost me RM 100
Fender cover Ft RM95
Gear oil RM 56
Total RM2051
Where can i complain them?
I found that most of the price is double of peroduo service centre.
e.g. in peroduo, absorber one pair only cost for RM 169 with labour cost, but top speed is RM 260 without labour.
why need to change bulb?
did u ask for power steering service?
for brake pad,if ur brake pad need to be changed,if u use it to the max,there will be some sound from the pad even if u do not press ur brake..that is the indication that the pad is really thin....for disc,normal disc for my is just around RM160/pair for Bosch and most brand...have to see at ur previous disc then only can determine the condition...anyway,really way too pricey unless the disc is performance slotted and drilled rotor....
is ur spark plug in bad condition?miss fire?burn mark?normal spark plug can get less than rm40 la...
absorber link?damn...so pricey...why need to change it?do u keep the old 1?if the link tak kejap then only need to change...
bumper clip?i bought it at spare part...rm1.50/pc only....
ur fender cover koyak edy?fender cover around rm35 or less for normal 1...
gear oil rm56?what gear oil did they used?what is ur mileage?
chamber screw is rm35/pc only including installation...the most expensive is rm45/pc with installation (consider max price edy)...
absorber rm169/pair?is it rear absorber?if front i think will be higher...
