engine mountings tukar kat luar, timing belt tukar kat sana . tu mahal pasal upah tinggi.

coz no time to wait, so i leave it there. still no list of changes..

Toyoi

i think i do this. told him to hold his work on my car first.

How come timing belt not change at 80k service???

hahahahaha

PROTON...

INILAH MASA UNTUK POTONG...

bukan potong harge/..potong LEHER....Yeahooo...

bte ur car what model????inspira????

i suppose by 100k service..

outside foreman , i met a so called expert with handheld device in butterworth , he ask to join throttle valve to brake host ,

another foreman change distributor , chapalang distributor ,make car vibrate so much ,
finally use back original distributor car become more powerful.

outside foreman not all can be trusted

just satria neo 1.6..

surprisingly over 90k millage have to change mounting.

Many car over 150k millage still running fine.

thats the reason i decided to gv expert proton do. they should gv service to jaga their brand. but now

Timing belt?what's that?ooo..long time no hear..tot all cars use timing chain already

dun simply bash without knowing what it actually charge for 2.2k, p2 sc mounting also around rm8xx, do outside mostly cheaper by need luck to locate pro 1, alot tauke just hire noobie freshie and let them do all the job, noob reassemble could easily cause more problem in no time.

hm, then help me if the cost for timing belt n major service 1.2k is acceptable?

That is why u need to list the part for us.u can call them.right now and ask them

what they actually charge you for 1.2k? standard major service for proton isnt <rm400?? check the list sometime they would include alot 2pid thing like battery fluid even though u r using maintenance free battery lol. I don't have much experience with neo, so may be you should try call other SC and ask the price for the similar list of changes, and is it needed to change....

and yea with the list provided i believe alot ppl here can give adequate advices.

SC center their labor charge very expensive. it is like you drink plain water in mamak cost 30 cents and in hotel cost Rm2.00

did try to cal. but they said work until 1pm only.



supposedly. they ddnt state any other major things. + timing belt.. too bad i need to wait until monday to check with other SC..

then ill bring the list on monday bring u guys here again

*spitcereal.jpg

if u say timing belt and etc's major service
it should be around 1k plus

Bro, better bring to a normal workshop. After your car warranty is over, advisable to bring to normal workshop for cheaper labor cost.

but of course need to survey which shop offers best service & value for money.

IMO, your car service should cost <rm700.

wtf go outside do la

5 years old edi ur car. no warranty or free service anymore from proton better go pokok ceri wokshop. u go buy ori parts from proton n just upah the pomen la

If they dont charge lidat, Plotong long time bankrup liao lor.

yup, potong service and spare parts really damn expensive

Sounds ok i think. I did mine outside for about rm900. Timing kit, engine oil and gearbok oil. Proton more expensive for labour. I remember doin this 3 alone is 1.2k.

Maybe got change water pump, service radiator also. Thats why make up to 2.2k . Somemore mounting parts alone i think rm380 already.

Change brake pad

Proton SC - RM330

Kedai ah kaw tepi petronas - RM82

Both use proton parts.. so,u decide..

I did front side back mounthing + window + a number of other services.

Original part with warranty of 6months.

Perodua SC , 1.8+K

for newer protons it's better to go to authorized service centre.

sometimes roadside workshop or regular tyre/oil change workshop don't have all the tools or parts.

especially for savvy or persona and above.

for older (aka Mitsubishi-based) protons, it's better to go outside shops price wise. parts interchangeable with Japanese oem and also lots of half-cut places....

"alot tauke just hire noobie freshie and let them do all the job, noob reassemble could easily cause more problem in no time."<--This statement is True.....

bapak lah civic major pun baru 800

tuka timing belt+mounting ntuk civic baru 800? wow

Civic tukar aircond filter and fuel filter + service major (no belting and no aircond servicing thou) = RM 1,200.

Tell me where can get belt + mounting RM 800?

what model?

mana la aku tau. the person whom i quote is the person telling major service is RM800.

crazy... must be go back their ori service centre kena chop..

last year my city they want to change the aircon filter n chop me also..i ask them dun pandai pandai change when only 20-30k milage on the car, filter still quite new.. just clean it with compress air n put it back..

crazy i do top overhaul with my wira 1.6 (change head gasket), timing belt, crankshaft oil seal, auto gear box oil seal, water pump and all the belt also below 2k.

civic guna timing belt??

wow

talked like a bawse

when i told them that, they understood and complied.. so i think they just fishing for extra things to change and charge u if you let your guard down..

even oil change i ask them to put at 10k..when they wanted 5k interval dat time 1-2years ago..

finally now they are using 10k interval officially..

oh wow.. newer models only used timing chain..

tat y proton is gooding when u sell off within 3years

my honda accord timing belt cost me RM400-500

in service centre or outside shop?

service it outside lo, since the warranty over dy anyway

honda service center... but even outside it's about the same... timing belts are not cheap for any cars

TS, can u list down list from recipt?

it's the labour to remove engine cover and stuff that is expensive.. the actual belts only cost 100-200...

its not cheap because of the labor charges, and the difficulties do dissembled all those covers and screws.
previously, the most expensive cost for Proton to change belts, is Perdana V6. Lol

btul la tu...I last time owned a neo and major service around RM2.2k

change timing belt and engine mounting, etc...

you already kena kawtim (gau dim) by proton. My close friend used to be SA there, the quote crazy price and their customers are only cars which still under warranty.

sc service charge is really a suicide on money.
the price of timing belt & mounting shoudnt be exceeding 1k.
if u join neo club sure the members can recommend u reliable sparepart dealers & cheaper service charge outside.

don't bother service your proton at proton service centre unless u got discounted price etc

Just go any workshop and service them

You're not driving a >100k car with plenty of electronics and everything digitized

Outside workshop use the sane original genuine parts with 100% cheaper or more

Hmm avanza 1.3 ori mounting 750
Oem 500 included labour for outside shop.

maybe its not mounting, could be joint, lower arm, driveshaft or might as well swollen tyre.

No wonder state government all changing official cars to Camry or Merc.....

Hi guys, went there last monday. So when he say kawtim, means i need to pay him inside my car. hide2. shitty things. cant even gv me any receipt. So in the end, i can conclude go to SC is alot more worst than outside workshop. atleast outside can gv me receipt. their point is very simple, u want cheaper, u do with me direct. so who in the world would be so genius to decline. as i know, if even expensive car like bmw also can gv cheap price but still within bmw services. pay at counter. coz i decline so many times, now he meet me straight away say only 1.3k. do major service, mounting n timing belt. when i reach meet him, he already do all the things.

and sad proton, want give support money, their team makan the money alone. no wonder rugi every year

this is no more major service right ? i thought major service is usually your normal service plus gb oil, gb oil filter, spark plugs, check power steering oil, and check brakes/brake pads. which is why your major service can sometimes hit 1k if all also need to change or service.

engine mountings and timing belt is under wear and tear items. engine mounts, if more than a few years, should change already because the rubber inside the mount cannot abosrb the vibration properly already. especially if you feel your car inside, everything also vibrates. to be honest, if your mileage more than 100k, already, just find a reliable mechanic outside to do lor. buy your engine mountings on lowyat forum, someone in automotive garage got sell. then give to workshop to replace, there will charge at most also 100 ringgit for upah . the timing belt, 100k, better change, since changing timing belt, might as well check the auxiliary belt and the waterpump. sekali jalan, satu kali upah .

yup, this one i do for 100k service. so should be safe now. i dont think they change my break pad.
after i kena from proton, i start to search. i can get mounting ori with upah charge rm70 only.

guess thats it. just want to share this story to u guys..

this style, i think he split some with the storekeeper ? because he dont pay for the parts. later, end of the month, they do stock count, then they will detect certain parts missing. i guess, this is why in cose, they dont allow owners to go to the service bay . to avoid such a thing from happening.

usually if SC change timing belt they will change waterpump as well

can u list down in detail what are the rm1.2k for?

timing belt kit alone from spare part is rm330

hmm, but i need to show which part need to service n change.n the ppl at counter leave to their technician..

yeah, thats normally how it is . you pay money to service advisor or technician ?

my timing belt change only RM250. RM150 for timing belt kit and RM100 for labour charge at proton sc. that 1 is really kawtim price but not under-table charge bcoz with official proton receipt, the labour charge part got *regular customer price*.. lucky me..

the technician..



damn im jealous of u..

what car ?

Last time.. ask to change all timing belt.. they quote me RM700... WTH!
then pi kedai sebelah.. RM2++....

saga only

stended la. u pegi honda pun sama.

wanna buy cheap ori proton sparepart like the mountings and timing belt?

go to segambut area.

They have tax charges etc...I kena sound kaw kaw when I decide to go else where.
Rupanya they make profit on the parts and extra charge.
That is why mahal.
My advice go else where.

U will get free disclunt with Proton daring card, all my services never reach 2k, my satria neo already passed 80k mark and the last service was major service with timing belt changed

biasa beli kat belakang 7e, area deret hospital tawakal.
kedai sebelah tukar cermin mana2 kereta pon murah.

dlu2 satria aku kena pecah, tukar situ murah gila, siap dapat yg chrome MMC lg.

Go elsewhere. Try to ask at least three different shops at three different areas. Then you can know the average price.

Not even 100k need to change mounting??? Sheesh better change whole car then..

well, some city car are just 20000km/year.

and city road might be sucky, potholes, bumps.
