Apparently it is a new govt directive that all auto lock features would have to be removed for safety reasons during accident.

Does it means JPJ is afraid that the auto lock feature will prevent the passenger or someone from outside opening the door after an accident? What difference would it make if we manually lock the door from the inside?

Sorry if this has been asked before. It is nearly time for my first service, can anyone recommend which service centre to go around Bandar Sunway or Petaling Jaya?

Secondly, can I bring my own parts for the service (eg. Engine Oil, Filter etc.)?

The best service centre in PJ is the one opposite 3 2 Square, nearby Section 19. This centre always crowded, please book days in advance or weeks in advance if you planning to send on weekend.

Another service centre is at Jalan Templer, just beside Honda. I went there for my first service, took them two and half hours to complete my car.  shakehead.gif

For the parts, I not sure. Other sifu can enlighten us?

Thanks. Checked online and found out that this particular SC in Section 19 PJ is quite popular getting complaints. Nevertheless, I have booked for a service there since it is just the most basic service. Will see how it goes. Just to share, I booked the service online through Tribe Toyota and seems we can only book for weekdays. I later call the service centre up and rescheduled the service to a Saturday. Not sure why we could not book Saturday online.

What I noticed is most of the Toyota service centre will get frequent complaint due to their large volume of cars. I browsed over few SC and most of them will have negative review  but I think is down to yourself to inspect and try the SC first. Apart from the waiting hours, the Jalan Templer SC is not bad, the Service Ambassador is friendly and easy to talk with.

Section19 is the most crowded SC in PJ, not a surprise if some people complaint about them.

I guess you are right. More customers, more chances of getting complained.

Mine is about 17 sen/km now. Overall mileage is only about 700km. Will have my 1st service by end of this month.

Should I go for Semi-Syn or Full? Only driving in the city and going to the KLIA once every month.

vios normally can get .15sen/km easily.
my normal consumption is rm50 around 350KM ( mix drive speed/relax) or 380-400km ( relax )
and the car has done 200,000Km on it. salute to the 1nzfe engine.

for your new cars its normal to have a bit higher FC , due to the engine part getting run-in should be improving by 20,000km.
btw if you have the money go for fully like MObil 1 etc. if not normal Toyota oil semi sync would do. provided change every 7000km would do.my car done 200,000km so far no problem and FC is still the same . NCP42 though.

Thanks for the information. I guess I can only stick with Toyota until end of the warranty period. Doesn't want to give them excuses in voiding my warranty.
