my friend car was send to Lim Tayar TTDI to change the suspension and tyres, it cost almost 5k for a Kia Picanto 2009!! they said the parts are difficult to source and all imported hence the charges. CRAZY!!!

worst part is when i drove my friend to pick up the car, i was just park infront of the parking space while waiting my friend pick the car, and was ask to park outside because i was blocking their customer parking!! WTF!!! those Fxxking space are for Merc, BMW and Luxury car!!!

Why RM5K your friend never ask for 2nd opinion??? Water fish liao lor...worst part is....are you getting what you have paid?? Should just go back to KIA SC.

I ask my friend hows the car after change all that, she say like new, i test drive ok only. My friend car was sent there by the parents, coz their car was service there abd according to them is the best quality done in pj...

Err..Paying high price at a workshop not necessarily equate to good workmanship/honest advice on what to replace leh
What is replaced for 5k??
Every single bushing,brake pad/disc,new strut/spring,new top hat??

Yes bro, they change everything..... was speechless when show me the receipt..

Say change everything but did they really change everything or not first

Picanto and Korean car parts easily available from most parts shops... They r using 80s era stories to charge you extra

nice thanks for the info.We malaysians have to do research more and should become a smarter consumer next time.

Not exactly true...only Kia salesman make up such stories to sell more cars. When you go hunt the parts, then you know.

Changed tyre only...then suspension give you recond suspension from kereta potong shop....who knows...especially they have such dubious reputation....

i'm korean car owner.. no problems with korean car parts..

The outer part we see change, inner parts. Not sure.. Lolllll... I wouldnt go there after my friends incidence.

Matrix true also. And i almost forgot to mention that they do not keep to their promise, morning promise can deliver the car by 3pm, den at 2 something they say delay until 5pm, coz need to order one of the part, fine. When around 5pm i drove my friend to pick up car, sitting inside their reception to collect car at least 1 hour, one of the indian guy came and say they could not find the parts and other supplier only can deliver 2moro morning. Then they say can only take the car around 10am.

Thats really piss us off and i told them why you din inform earlier and the time promise u keep change and now waited one hour u told us no parts. That is when they say coZ picanto parts really hard to find, thats y cant prepare on time.. Realky wtfff

wait until something seriously break...

5k to repair a Jap car? Insane!

Korean car.. Picanto

I have to agree and add I was ripped off too. I told them I was a regular Lim Tayar customer and usually went to the SS2 branch. They said they had my records. The SS2 branch was always reasonable in their charges but I was ripped off here - when I checked to confirm prices I found I was charged RM117 more per tyre. Thoroughly disgusted!!

very good sharing..i had seen this shop and plan to visit bcoz the shop looks nice but after read this thread i wont go there,,ehehe

never trusted a brand franchise name

Beware! this shop (LBH tyre service sdn bhd - uptown damansara utama) will con the extra charge over normal retail price. I did changed my car tires there last week (October 2015), after 3 days, I found the retail price should be RM155, but they simply con me for RM205 for it!
