not con but i stress coz of their laziness

went n do rotation, alignment n balancing last year.

usually tyre shop use manual pressure gauge so pressure in tyre wont be 100% even. so i usually go home n check myself d next day.

i discovered that one of my tyres was 5 psi lower den d rest.

1st thought was of a leak in d tyre. stress wei coz d tyres were only a year old

went back to the shop n they check for me.

no leaks. they inflated the tyre n d anxious wait started again.

all was fine. i guess d tyre fele forgot to inflate dat tyre after doing the balancing LOL

i went to kedai tayar 10 times. 10 times also kena tipu.... Thats why when there is a potential of 'negotiable' business involve, i always avoid. You nego-nego means the price not fix. Example like the chamber skru. That one small piece of skru is like RM8.90 and how come it can be priced at RM80!!? that is 1000% more! logic? there no logic in business (nego). Only insane profit margin.

If you go to kedai tayar, you must bring extra cash. When they take out the tyre, lots of thing must change if according to them.

But luckily after a few changes of tyre, I found a good shop.

Tayar kereta pancit bulan lepas. Alang2 dua2 tayar depan memang da patut kena tukar, so pergi je la kedai tayar.

Aku da la tak tau langsung pasal kereta, n mamat tu (bangla) memang nak ketuk kaw2. Dia cakap rim kereta senget la apala, aku layankan je. Dia cakap ada promotion utk rim, aku cakap tak nak haha.

Tak habis lagi, dia cakap skru pun kena tukar, kalau tak nanti tayar takde waranti. Macam haram betul, aku cakap nak beli tayar depan je, benda lain taknak.

Even tak tau apa2, kena tegas dengan diorg ni bro. Takpun at least kau bawak membe kau yg power pasal kereta. Takde kena kencing hidup2

It's true but there is this one particular shop, my friend's kedai but his workers are the one fixing my car (he's 22 only this year, dah travel around the world sponsored by Continental, me jelly~~~~~)

remove RIM, tell me this that cannot but they won't fix. They only check for us to inform if there is any problem. I've frequent his shop then onwards cos I know they won't simply chop people. They prefer giving advise nod.gif

Last time when I work in Kelantan also kena con by a shop that looks so grand with high tech stuff. A few month later, have to get it repaired so later on I decided to send my car to a kampung tyre shop in Kubang Kerian where he adjust chamber, alignment using string and ruler. Before changing here and there, he will test drive first with you sitting at the passenger seat so that he can feel what is wrong with the car. Then only he starts repairing. So old school but that is the most trusted and reliable tyre shop i've gone to in Kelantan. Thumbs up!

Same, went to my regular workshop but they are off so went to next door shop and terus need to replace chamber screw RM 50 a piece buta2 kena potong. Btw, the shop is call TOP SPEED.

Even recently go to my regular workshop due to clutch issue they check check also told me your absorb bar no good, engine mount kong, some oil filter ring need change, etc, from verbal quote of RM 600 suddenly shoot up to 1k +. I told them thank you but no thanks because I have no money. Still they replace my gear oil without asking me and bill me terus. doh.gif

Sometime I really hope to go take a course of car repair & DIY.

Camber skru one time tuka only. Front right and left. Some cars comes with the one can be adjust. Some car tak boleh adjust. So all u need is to remember which one belum tuka. Left or right. If sudah tukar dua2. U kasitau la sudah tukar. U kasi adjust saja maaa. Lagi mau tukar apa pasat? Rosak? Niamahhh. Itu skru xboleh rosak mia. Itu skru tada kena apa wear n tear lagi mau tukar. Kasi tukar satu keleta mia skru la itu machiam. Kanninahhh

not balance means not balance of traction. different tyre models got different traction. should have same traction tyres for either front or back. better should same for all tyres.

sbenarnyakan ko kena pergi Bengkel Membe2....

Aku dulu pernah gak jadi mcm ko nih, Mekanik tu yang pasang timing belt aku tak ketat dia salahkan pulley aku pulak, dia suruh tukar baru... Aku rasa pulley aku elok je selama aku pakai takde masalah, sejak tukar timing belt dia buat hal...

Aku pun refer kat bengkel lain;

"Abg buat kete lama dah, abg tengok kete ko ok jer, dia yang buat tak betul, ko xyah tukar apa2, meh abg tlg ketatkan timing belt ko"

SO MORAL OF THE STORY DONT REFER TO ONLY 1 WORKSHOP, TRY TO SEEK OPINION FROM OTHER WORKSHOP..

BTW kawan aku ada buat service repair kete kat rumah dia area Subang Jaya, siapa nak hantar or nak enquiry apa2 boleh la pm aku bg contact

this

not balance means not balance of traction. different tyre models got different traction. should have same traction tyres for either front or back. better should same for all tyres.
poorfags like us only change 1 pair for front or back.  sleep.gif

due to different wear rate between front and rear tires... it's normal to change 2pieces at the time, of cos if you feeling rich.. can change all 4..

word of wisdom from my fellow sifu :

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Jun 19 2012, 08:19 PM)
Darling, drive your car to flat gloss ground, such as Mid Valley parking lot and listen to your tyre on straight line. If can hear screeching sound, most probably alignment out. Normal computer alignment cost RM15 and that's it. Don't let them con you to add something camber screw lar, adjust camber lar. Those are nonsense until you hit a pothole hard and bent your lower arm, otherwise those camber adjustment are just a way they pitch for more profit. Bad camber is something like this

Bad alignment is this

user posted image

Normally, besides of steering bush, bad alignment will also result in steering numb/turning back slow after cornering. I assume you're not an hard arse that corner like me, your bush should still fine as your car only 1 month old. Steering bush is an wear & tear item, normal driving condition can last up to 2 years, the more parallel parking you do, the faster it die. Died"ed" steering bush normally you'll feel significant numb on steering feedback. For example after steering full turn during reverse, if you put it to forward and step on the gas, the steering will auto correct itself; as for bad steering bush your steering will stick to full turn and continue make donut when you step on the gas.

Bad alignment vehicle normally give numb feedback because the wheel not agreeing on the straight line, after steering full turn already, both wheels tend to rejecting each other instead of agreeing.

Last time when I work in Kelantan also kena con by a shop that looks so grand with high tech stuff. A few month later, have to get it repaired so later on I decided to send my car to a kampung tyre shop in Kubang Kerian where he adjust chamber, alignment using string and ruler. Before changing here and there, he will test drive first with you sitting at the passenger seat so that he can feel what is wrong with the car. Then only he starts repairing. So old school but that is the most trusted and reliable tyre shop i've gone to in Kelantan. Thumbs up!

Liqui Moly tyre shop at Kota Damansara. Got conned by tauke, he charged me for new camber screws. After paying, i straightaway went out and asked the foreman who did my car, he said camber screw tak tukar pun. Cost me RM70.

What made me stop going, is my friends car sent for an full overhaul at the same shop, a standard waja. He paid RM5k for it. After about a month, got leaking at the gearbox gasket adjoining to the engine. Asked to change since did overhaul there. After interrogating the foreman (without the presence of the tauke), he said not fully overhaul, conrod, piston and whatnot xkeluarkan pun.

Sooooo goodbye, im going somewhere else.

Yeap kena more than once because I have stupid and ignorant family members. The shop is called Lim Tayar and they sold my family members expired tyres like from more than 2 years ago date manufactured and didn't even reduce price. I mentioned before then nobody gave me any fucuk so when tayar rosak went to the same shop again. I always tell people to boycott Lim Tayar fucuking conmen. BTW they bought runflat tyres so imagine how I feel when I know they overprice them plus expired.

Yeap kena more than once because I have stupid and ignorant family members. The shop is called Lim Tayar and they sold my family members expired tyres like from more than 2 years ago date manufactured and didn't even reduce price. I mentioned before then nobody gave me any fucuk so when tayar rosak went to the same shop again. I always tell people to boycott Lim Tayar fucuking conmen. BTW they bought runflat tyres so imagine how I feel when I know they overprice them plus expired.

2 years ago is not expired.

5 years. Yes.

Ok maybe expired isn't the case here but they sold old stocks at a price higher than RRP. The brands were Michelin and Bridgestone in multiple cases and when I checked the website the price listed was a little lower. A price check with friends showed that market price is even much much lower than that. I was told that old stock tyres stored in warehouse or storage room for too long unmoved makes the tyre quality degrade compared to new. A simple check with a different shop listed on Michelin website when I call they sold tyres manufactured the same year and they too claim they are not allowed to keep old stocks. IIRC Lim Tayar wasn't even listed as official retailer on Michelin website.

Same, went to my regular workshop but they are off so went to next door shop and terus need to replace chamber screw RM 50 a piece buta2 kena potong. Btw, the shop is call TOP SPEED.

Even recently go to my regular workshop due to clutch issue they check check also told me your absorb bar no good, engine mount kong, some oil filter ring need change, etc, from verbal quote of RM 600 suddenly shoot up to 1k +. I told them thank you but no thanks because I have no money. Still they replace my gear oil without asking me and bill me terus.  doh.gif

Sometime I really hope to go take a course of car repair & DIY.

TOP SPEED memang penipu.

Last time i went to the glenmarie branch want to change engine oil and oil filter. they will come and tell you that this rosak and that rosak. I told them that I don't want to change and the person start to scare me that my car will breakdown and they not reliable for it. I got pissed off and I told them instead of changing so many things, might as well I transplant a new engine. the dude kept quiet and just change what i asked him to do. in the end the car still runs fine.

Kedai tayar Tai Soon! dah lama bertapak di Jalan Gombak berhadapan dengan Pasar Besar Gombak. Kedai ni menggunakan manual alignment dan mereka akan mencuba kereta anda seganas yang mungkin untuk mendapatkan alignment yang jitu.

Mungkin ada yang kata kedai ni mahal, kerana mereka taknak satu pun barang rosak pada kereta anda yang boleh membuatkan steering anda tidak lurus atau pengendalian kereta anda terganggu, jadi mereka akan senaraikan apa yang rosak dan terpulang pada anda untuk menggantikannya atau tidak.

Kedai tayar ini telah dipercayai ramai dan ada yang sanggup datang dari jauh hanya untuk mendapatkan servis alignment mereka. Kedai alignment dan tayar terbaik setakat ini dari rating pelanggan yang pernah datang ke kedai berkenaan.


Anda boleh menghubungi kedai ini di nombor 03-40235728 atau di alamat No 181, Batu 4 1/2 Jalan Gombak 53300 Kuala Lumpur.

last week my window cant wind up due some ball bearing got out of rail, maklumlah, old car, hence normal tear n wear.
my objective is to put back the ball back into the rail only. the boss of lim tayar came and examine, plug out another rail with a plastic proytective bearing covering it. and he claims the plastic is wore off due to aged. for god sake i am standing THERE WATCHING, he assume i mislooked or something that he just plug out somehting from my car. Howverr it is true as per i c memang already gone case but i can still choose to fix back the original bearing that is out of rail and my window will b up again without needing to fork out 600++ just to replace an old regulator/switch/rail and bearing as per mentioned everything looks intact to me except for the 5 sen size plactic covering the smaller bearing which is totally out of the question.

what i did was i don bother as i only as them to put back the loss bearing back to the window rail and there goes 35 for opening and assmebling bacxk the ball into rail.

abt changing the whole regulator and window switch is really rediculous. and it happened in lim tayar latest branch in bangsar.

moral of the story, do stand beside the mechanic and understand from them instead of the boss that claims need to change the whole mechanism just for simple wire issue which is later cos a bomb.

You should go to trusted shop that you are familiar with. Most who you don't know will charge ridiculous price and cut throat by asking you to change this that / say this that broken too. Sometimes you end up HAVING to pay because they have taken out the car to pieces and that by not changing will render the car useless / not usable.

But I see that you may not known any trusted workshop so far.

Why don't you try carama? There's this ad at paultan that carama doesn't overcharge so what they quote initially is what you ended up paying at the end.

www.carama.com/
Malaysia car care portal to find the best mechanic and repair shop for your car, get savings on your car repair, maintain your car service history log and receive ...

I didn't try yet because I know some trusted workshops. Maybe you can try it out yourself?

Now you know how to open the door, can just do it yourself in future.

Cars are just like PCs. If (some) pc technician knows that you know shit about computers when you hand it over to them for repairs, they'll say that the motherboard need replacement while it's just the CMOS battery that needs changed. Because you know nothing about computers, you fork out RM500 to replace the mobo rather than spending RM5 for changing battery.

Learning about cars is good so we don't get cheated by mechs. For simple stuffs we can DIY, but of course complex require additional big boys tools that we don't have, so we need to send the car over. But still, at least we know something and can fight back.

tayar korek tu tayar yang dah expired.patut dibuang tak boleh pakai. tayar koyak tapi untung punya pasal:

ada orang pergi carik balik tayar tu buat balik bunga kira buat balik sebjik tayar la guna otak sendiri.(tayar biasanya lapisan dia tebal bila tayar tu dah botak lapisan dia makin nipis)

yang nipis tu dia pergi toreh buat bunga. sweat.gif doh.gif kalau owner tak perasan condition tayar tu possible tayar tu akan pecah ketika memandu. kalau tak memandu laju mesti bawak beban dia pecah.

nama lain tayar toreh. tayar ni ada banyak nama. harga pun murah daripada tayar biasa. aku suspect xcident yang berlaku kereta terbalik la terbabas la hilang kawalan punca daripada tayar ini. vmad.gif

1) Leave it at the workshop to change oil for awhile, end up changing timing belt. Apparently the guy showed me inside the belt got cut. I wonder how on earth did he manage to see that.

2) Changing spare tyre with fixed punctured tyre. After reaching my place, i realised my tyre air cap was rubber instead of metal. Went back and the guy pretend like puzzled and change to metal. But without me checking it, it wasnt the same cap.

3) Changing to new 15" sport rim. End up need to change absorber because 14" different so they say. Later, that absorber making a irritating sound while driving.


Lesson learn:
A)Dont leave your car.
B) Watch them working.
C) Keep your tyre metal cap 1st before changing tyre lel

Now you know how to open the door, can just do it yourself in future.

Cars are just like PCs. If (some) pc technician knows that you know shit about computers when you hand it over to them for repairs, they'll say that the motherboard need replacement while it's just the CMOS battery that needs changed. Because you know nothing about computers, you fork out RM500 to replace the mobo rather than spending RM5 for changing battery.

Learning about cars is good so we don't get cheated by mechs. For simple stuffs we can DIY, but of course complex require additional big boys tools that we don't have, so we need to send the car over. But still, at least we know something and can fight back.

yep,
i learnt bit by bit for standing next to the mechanics, i usually standby and watch as i don trust them with the works hence i learnt too. meanwhile i don really like to leave my car for overnight, are there any cases where i can get back my car like one day. i can spend whole day watching them. i just need to spray my car roof.

1) Leave it at the workshop to change oil for awhile, end up changing timing belt. Apparently the guy showed me inside the belt got cut. I wonder how on earth did he manage to see that.

2) Changing spare tyre with fixed punctured tyre. After reaching my place, i realised my tyre air cap was rubber instead of metal. Went back and the guy pretend like puzzled and change to metal. But without me checking it, it wasnt the same cap.

3) Changing to new 15" sport rim. End up need to change absorber because 14" different so they say.  Later, that absorber making a irritating sound while driving. 
Lesson learn:
A)Dont leave your car.
B) Watch them working.
C) Keep your tyre metal cap 1st before changing tyre lel

just to add on, idshonest mechs will tukar away your parts and changed to old parts if yours is new. hence really need to keep an eye. especially your car is a common car where parts are easily swapable.

the same theory that second hand sales dealer practice where u c the car is only use for 2-5 years, but inside looks like 10years which does not tally with the intel shared. hence sales person will cover up with BS like blaming previous owner uses the car like a cow. commonly happened to door panel and the radio inside the car. some worst scenario is signal indicator looks like got into a terrible acids spray. the previous owner is alien i think.

don buy from dealer buy straight from owner and no additional 3-5k stupid charge that only causes less than RM200.

Last time when I work in Kelantan also kena con by a shop that looks so grand with high tech stuff. A few month later, have to get it repaired so later on I decided to send my car to a kampung tyre shop in Kubang Kerian where he adjust chamber, alignment using string and ruler. Before changing here and there, he will test drive first with you sitting at the passenger seat so that he can feel what is wrong with the car. Then only he starts repairing. So old school but that is the most trusted and reliable tyre shop i've gone to in Kelantan. Thumbs up!

all this camber screw thingy is con job by the workshops. if really need to add, why the car manufacturers never provide it in the first place? UMW Toyota refused to do alignment on my car after replacing drive shaft cover due to addition of the camber screw

FYI Camber bolt & nuts is not a con job, when the wheels are offset by too much due to age or constant abuse like speeding past humps or going tru potholes will cost them to go beyond certain degree where stock bolt & nut cannot adjust and requires these camber bolt & nuts. It's only a 1 time purchase treat it as a member fee la.
