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 smile.gif

Ohh btw I just sent for my 15k services, the fully syn oil is only RM20 difference compared to the semi-syn since I got a RM10 discount coupon. Car feels a bit lighter and smoother now, feels good man. Too bad it need to service every 5k.  sad.gif

I guess most of the 2ndhand car value will not increase because of extra accessories installed like DVD head unit, bars etc. And that's why most of them take them off before selling the car so they can sell it separately for better price.
*
How about the selling price when sell your first hand car, is the price will be add on a bit because of extra thing installed like DVD, GPS, lock installed??

Agree with what Xin mentioned above. But I don't think the price will be increased that much because of accessories/mod installed.

Let's say if you have aftermarket rims installed when you sell your car, it doesn't mean that the buyer likes the rims too. If the buyer doesn't like, there's no point for him to buy the car with increased price.

For me the main factor that effect a car value is how well you maintain the car (engine condition, paint condition, accident before or not, etc).  smile.gif

Ya I think so, better dont change or install any other thing, but sometime may need it such as extra lock

Agree with u mentioned above, most of the buyer always look for those kind thing, the more important through, so that the buyer no need to concern about the repair

Just completed my 1k service at kah motor puchong. Went there 30 minutes before they close. Very suprising the inspection took less then 15 minutes.

They also topup the wiper water reservoir and do  fluid level inspection.  After passed 1k  ride, I do realize my average km/l is getting increasing. Combine city+hwy is 14.4km/
l
Quite impress. Even my sis kelisa also can only did 13 km/l.

ahfad, for 1k service they didnt change the engine oil - so the FC should not be any diff.

anyway my FC increase significantly after 5000 service (first oil change) , now if i drive with " my own ECO Mode" I can easily reach 16km/h.
If outstation highway , can reach 17km/h.

average would be 14-15km/h tho.
*
Ya that is quite impress for FC.

My friend who current drive City, he was drive from 2009 year until now, he said that City quite save for the FC compare to starting to drive until now, the FC getting lesser, mean the way he drive more the car FC can reach for lesser. I was get shock, even save FC compare to Myvi.

This is one of the point that City has hold this reputation

I owned Myvi EZI before my NHC. Long distance/highway NHC can beat Myvi, but for city/short distance, myvi still better. Btw, the FC shown on the ODO is not so accurate, always shown higher km/l than the actual.

Perhaps my friend talking about the highway driving of the FC speeding. smile.gif

I not sure, Coz I not very good in this kind of "vehicle technical stuff" tongue.gif
But I read back some of the post, I think I get quite a cheap price for service.
My 5k service, changed oil filter. full synthetic oil and tyre pressure check caused RM 155.85 (got people post RM 190+ for semi synthetic oil).

What would you think? If really not worth, then I might request the semi synthetic next time. hmm.gif
*
if no mistaken I have saw someone comment here is once you are using full synthetic oil, then you cannot turn back to semi.

Can anyone here confirm this?

I tried all 3 oil, I don't see any problem with it. First semi, then try fully, then mineral. Honestly I don't feel any different between the 3 so I stick with mineral.

Oh? I see. can you share the price for each oil? tongue.gif

before the 1st service, i was having bad experience with Shell

Thus, i decided to try Shell again after my 1st service (cheapest mineral w30), and i have the same conclusion as you, more mileage at the expense of power/torque

70% , not really full highway, is the coastal road i use back to my hometown, puncak alam- kuala selangor-sekinchan-teluk intan- manjung..if one is familiar with the way. around 15-20 traffic lights total
*
May I know how many hours to be arrive on your hometown?

I know the road, there have some limit speed especially in Teluk Intan, one road only can speed 60km which I kena before... cry.gif

You didn't drive on highway when back homwtown? but you can still achieve for good FC oh with these road

My hometown around there and I used to be drive back on highway where exit on Gopeng toll

It will improve when reach higher mileage. In fact, my fuel consumption improves after 40-50k kms. That time is still standard without any mod. Now after installing the K&N-like air filter, the acceleration improves slightly so does the fuel consumption.

K&N filter can be install at Honda center there or u all install outside??

Saw a lot good review for K&N filter after installed
