My 3 years old city reaching 60k mileage soon. Planning to service it outside because honda SC was quite pricey. Since 60k services will be a major services, so your guy pls recommend me should i service by SC or outside? If outside any shop recommend around SEL/KL area? Thanks
I would suggest go for outside for your car service.
My brother own a Honda City, he always go back Honda for service. At one time, he back to hometown and repairing something from outside, the shop of the boss who is friend with my father and told my father know that when the car owner go back to center for service, the staff will assist to change the new items from old items even no much more damage or still can tahan, so the old items may sell by themself other purposed, but you need to pay higher service cost for your car service.
Meantime, he has own a car - Audi, he just go back center and service for one time only, other than that, he just service by himself which is his own shop. He said quite same with center only, just the different is the cost that charge you higher due to items change.
In the end of the time, you can save lots money and avoid unnecssary items changed from the car service, but just need to be make sure that you are friend with that particular shop of staff.
This is just our mind of thinking and heard from shop of the boss said. But some said if the car still eligible with warranty then sure back to center, is up to you guy, just for sharing
