Get the quotation and show us, not pakcik/makcik/kakak/abang story.
Service centre does not simply charge, we charge based on service manual, there is flat rate labour hour to be compared with.

ben using vios for 12 year now...never change...only topap...same like my honda c70...never jammed one!

And many here say Vios is rubbish.
They must  be proud continental car owners.  So problematic.  When spoil masuk workshop time, let's see whose car is more rubbish. 

When new Vios come out launch, I will book one.  Red color, like ferrari color.   

Funniest ever post i have seen in lowyat...

BTW, i add into my siggy...

Apparently you do not seem to know how a franchise service centre should run. A franchise service centre (in their agreement) but order all the spare parts from the principal (not from 3rd party source, parallel importer or what so ever). Once a dealer being caught selling parts that not ordered from principal, they may have their dealership being taken back.

I involve with Proton, Perodua, Suzuki (3S and 4S) service centre business, and my friends are involved with Honda 4S. I heard absolutely nothing relate to your statement.

Back to your previous argument that Honda SC charge RM800 for wheel bearing while you guys are selling RM400?
So which model is that? Civic FD1 or FD2?
If you dun have the retail price, I can provide you these information.
Please provide the forumers here with the correct information, do not mislead the people. Push the responsibility to service centre?

Honda Civic 1.8, Year 2006
Wheel Bearing Front 44300SNA952 RM458.11
[Includes Rr. bearing] Wheel Hub Rear 42200SNAA52 RM673.80

Honda Civic 2.0, Year 2006
Wheel Bearing Front 44300SDAA51 RM287.8
[Includes Rr. bearing] Wheel Hub Rear 42200SNAA52 RM673.80

And as you are authorised Honda spare part reseller, familiar of this logon page?

Bashing aside I find the thread title is misleading and not clear at all. Majority call the car Vios but which model P42 or P93 because they are different even with the same engine (p93 intake manifold and exhaust) is slightly upgraded from p42). The P42 has better quality than 93 because if you strip the whole car to bare metal you will see the difference. The 1nz is a good engine but not perfect that's why there's a slight improvement Done to it when they put it in the 93. Actually Toyota can put in a newer gearbox but that will bump the price further up and kill its competitiveness that's why Toyota still using the 4AT so Toyota is in a go left or go right situation. The Vios should be view as a entry level car just like other entry level car. The QC bound to have hit or miss since its a mass produced engine and same goes to assembly. That's why I have to do 2 x PDI before car deliver to customer but some problems will still happen.

Comparing the P42 and P93. 42 is more worth getting than 93. If I wanted to get a Vios I would look for a 42 instead then find a set of intake from the 93 and stuff it in.

Sky want to debate then debate properly so your car next time got problem dont send to any technician, fix yourself since all of the technician knows nothing. Driving feel you say? I test drove Vios, Camry, Altis, fortuner, Estima, wish, avanza, innova, hilu. on a daily basis. To know how a car behave does not need 12 years to get familiar with it.

I have a 6-7 year old P42 at home, have to agree with you. 7 years now and not a single rattle from the cabin, compare to my friend's dugong which started rattling a few weeks in. And it's cable throttle yo! 

But being an old car, a lot of expensive wear and tear symptoms are cropping up, engine mounting is due for a replacement, for example.

Each honda service center do have contract with any nearest spare part shop, I wont say too much on it, let u experience urself, because SC will always overcharge with high labour.

Me myself is a motor spare part seller, I know how original part work, but we wont tell it how many percent we can get, but im sure its cheaper than SC alot, because they are following the retails.

Alot of customer will order original part from us, and let outside workshop to do it, there is so many workshop is EX-SC worker with full of experience, no point paying so much on the SC labour charge

Only the engine mounting RH cost around RM350 retail price, the one on the left and rear only cost around RM100 each. Pretty affordable.

Lol Fiesta= Jesus car

Nope, Jesus drove a Honda Accord, it's documented in the Bible

"For I did not speak of my own Accord..." - John 12:49

"The Apostles were in one Accord." - Acts 5:12
