It is true. I owned the Forester between 09 till end of last year. The minute warranty was over, I did not return to MI for servicing. The last time I was there to service was in 2011. However, I see that they have now expanded their operations and the XV sells in larger volumes compared to the previous Foresters, WRXs and Legacys.

Also heard that they are gonna have a spare part hub here. They are also rebuilding a 7 storey HQ building 2 lots away from their current HQ. So hopefully this will change things around a bit. Afterall, if they want to establish an increased market share, they need to change their service attitude.

I don't think they'll ever change bro. It's the attitude that matters the most. Most of their SAs have worst attitudes than even Proton's SAs!!!!!!

I'm also speaking from experience as I send my car for servicing since 2010!!!

Been a customer of T and H before, even proton and perodua but nothing 'out beats' Subaru!!!!

Cannot say that bro... if everyone says that then, our service industry will die soon.

I can say Subarus are great! Great in handling, great in quality and great in looks!  biggrin.gif

Just that IF... and I say IF Motor Image or TC is really keen on capturing the Malaysian market with Subarus, they MUST improve on Customer Service dept!!!!!

Every 2-3 months, they have so many staff turnover! Everytime I go there, it's a new person. Being new and perhaps they know that they'll not last that long, they just treat customers like rubbish!

In my honest opinion, I've driving lots of different types of car. From continental - bmws, Mercs, Audi, alfas to Koreans to Japanese.

No... Am not a car reviewer. Just a fellow car enthusiast!

Subarus sits in between japs and continentals. It's better drive than japs but not as great as continentals. However, maintenance and reliability is far better than contis.

Am driving one for 4 years dy... Longest car I ever own! Haha...

What Subaru are you driving and how about performance parts and service? Can you pls PM me some recommendation on locations and who to look for?

Am driving an impreza ver 10. Sorry... Am not a mod kaki. All stock except rims, air filter and unlocking it's speed limiter. In stock, I can reach 240km/h. I know some cars can go beyond 250kmh but am satisfied with it already.

I bring it to service to MI till since this year when I really had enough of their ignorance and incompetence. Now, normal service can be done by any mech. For any technical speciality, can go to LMY in USJ.

There's another Subaru specialist called AE in glenmarie. Haven't tried them yet.

It used to be in SUBANG. They have shifted to USJ.

Call them to ask for directions. They are actually near Leon of quicksave.

hehe dream on...

after 1 week of driving my new xv... i am satisfied even though not overly excited.

i just realized xv is almost on par with mitsu asx but i have not driven an asx yet. so these 2 can yield good comparison.

i miss my alfa romeo. sad.gif

How's your FC? I believe it's above average as scoobies are AWD. Hence, consume more petrol to move 4 wheels!
