Fuck those unethical tyre man, luckily I didn't listen to them and I went to seek for 2nd opinion. Idiot scammer, person's front tyres are designed to be slightly slanted inwards, makan dalam a bit is normal.

Thought on this, guys?
Recently I sent a car for check up at tyre workshop.
Car hit something in the front, scratched the bumper at one corner near the tyre. Caused steering wheel significantly lari(too much).
After done the checking, lower arm bengkok a bit. Can confirm this is legit(saw it myself, compare with other one, and the scratch mark was there).
Damage: rm10(rotate tyres), rm20(alignment), rm40(nut kit/adjust camber)

Car is Myvi btw. notworthy.gif

Just do everything in SC. Slightly expensive but you don't have to deal with all these bullshit.

This.
But not all SC the same.
Some SC are cutting throats as well.

It's their way to make money since god knows when. Alignment charge itself doesn't include the camber nut adjustment. Alignment, different charges, adjust camber nut, different charges... plus attempt to sell us the 'adjustable' camber nut because the original one 'can't be adjusted' lol
