labour charge only free..EO, filter, bla bla bla things have to pay.

To TS, try seek other workshop 1st for other opinion & pricing. But if cheap & the workman ship not good or do cincai2 it better off not.

....

You dont even know what is the problem with the car.

How would you know RM2k is the price to pay.

Stop acting like you know anything about cars and send it to be checked first.

You randomly call some Ah Beng workshop and say bottom engine is wet, car cannot start.

They can simply scare you and tell you need to overhaul engine. shakehead.gif

Everything free, so far sending in Inspira, I didnt pay a cent.

Disc Rotors replced for free also.

I can only speak from an Inspira point of view.

Yes, engine oil also free.

Up till 60, 000 km if i remember correctly.

Or was it 50, 000 km.

Cant remember if the 60, 000km is for the 3 series or the inspira, but its around there.

the bottom of the engine wet already. the engine oil is empty. car cannot start.

The things u can do for temporary 'relief' are top up the oil and try to start, if the car starts, good, check the leaking rate, drive straight to sc for repair. Do not consult 3rd party mechanic while the car is under warranty.

If cannot start, then this is bad, she could have blown the pistons or worst the whole engine block, that explains the ever rising cost. Still try tow it back to sc for repair. There will be a lot of questions asked but at least it's worth a try. Otherwise u gotta bear it all the cost at 3rd party mechanic. Might get 'chopped up' kaw kaw as well since obviously u n your sis seems to know nuts nor care about car.

Lastly but not the least pay attention, listen and follow the service booklet given with the new car.

Whatever it is outside mechanics always try to charge Kaw Kaw. If send to proton sc, at least it is cheaper. Trust me, it's cheaper coz they know the problem. Outside mechanic knows nothing and they will try to change everything.

I really on the verge of trying to reach through the monitor and giving you a slap

That 2k amount is pulled out from a monkey's ass.

The mechanic dont even know what the issue is, he open price for u .

U also obviously dont know what is going on

So follow these steps for resolution.

1. Call Proton.
2. Ask Proton to send tow truck.
3. Call Insurance Company. (DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT TELL ANYONE YOU DIDNT SEND CAR FOR SERVICE) Just say car got problem.
3. Get quotation from Proton. Let insurance company settle with them.
4. Scold your sister for being a dumb b****

engine oil cannot simply2 empty itself especially if its a new car. my guess, the owner sent to pokok cherry workshop, they did work cincai2 not fastening back the engine sump oil nut tightly until got leakage. after a few months, engine oil gone completely. then I assume she ignored all the warning lights on her car, if not the problem could have been avoided earlier.
