A quick update on last Friday incident. I did not pay the tyre mechanic directly, he was waiting for me at the SC when I arrived. I requested to meet the SC Manager but he has already left for the day. I insisted an official invoice and they did that for me. The item stated in the invoice is 2 front camber skru for around RM127. Seriously, over th last 2 days I did not notice much of a different after SC replacing it. Lesson learned, my car is only 14 months old and mileage around 15,000km. It seem like the camber has a terrible short lifespam, even worse than my previous proton. Honestly, I felt cheated because the mechanic attempt to pocket the cash himself, when I realized and try to stop him from doing it which in less than 10mins, I was told is already done. Hence to all the KIA owner, I strongly suggest do not take the offer and get your car seek second opinion outside. Also, when I send in my car for service fuel consumption shows 10.8km/L, when I collect it it turns to 14.8km/L. I wonder if anyone else notice this or not because this show how they "test" and take "good" care of your car while sit in the SC huh. To bump from 10.8km/L to 14.8km/L takes a lot of aggressive driving style huh?

127 so exp...haiz...those tyre shop always want to earn big buck from this chamber skru..
skru is just a small metal stuff, rm10 also consider exp lor..then chamber adjustment also no cost 1, but they also charge high on that...sien...
malaysia business is like that, all want to earn more money for a living...consumer susah lor...

Spotted some paint defect on the top, not sure what happened.
Tried to claim from SC last week but rejected, according to them this is not a manufacturer defect.

Anyway, anyone knows where or how can I fix this?

just ignore it and drive saja, not from an obvious place.
Take it easy, not everything are perfect. In the next few more year, you wont care for it anymore. haha.
If I am you, I would just spend penny to buy touch up paint to touch it up, instead of wasting more money for painting job.

wonder anyone did the tyre rotation exactly like the manual guide?

asked the tyre shop do like that, gave me a very weird look and say never did that before. Says normally rotate 4 tyre while keeping the same spare tyre in trunk...

I rotate together with spare tyre every 10km when I do alignment....now almost 3 year 60k tyre still got around 30% treadwear....u Google alot of article will teach you how to rotate 5 tyre..

No worries...when u change tyre, just change 4 tyre..and keep one of the best tyre as spare tyre...and then in the future do 4 tyre rotation .... Not need change 5 tyre as the probability to use spare tyre is low..and even use also just 1-2 days.. so do not require a good and new tyre for spare tyre..
