QUOTE(ThorWP @ Jan 28 2017, 10:46 AM) i was tricked to do it before. they charge RM90 per screw. need to change two. but fortunately i went and get second opinion, with more advance alignment system, and i was told that my camper screw was perfectly fine. they will ask you change both sides, but u can change one. terus terang the PC screen show one side out of alignment. so i told them only one side need to adjust. dun try to sell me something i dont need. |

QUOTE(max_cavalera @ Feb 1 2017, 01:44 PM) Lol most kedai apek workshop love to scam car user on this screw thing for all 4 tyres.... know your products then they wont be able to cheat you lo.1 screw they charge almost rm50 tukar 4 already rm200.... Now i oso give up on apek workshop just go send to smaller kedai melayu workshop they are more honest and wouldnt change anything thats not broken. sometimes also they get their parts expensive ma, for example, the shop i go to service, they use benz ori oil filter (come in benz ori box) rm70 (which i am sure their cost over 50)...while i buy bosch one rm20 from the benz stockist. |

Mileage 97k Should i do chamberimg. I dont even now to read the figure on the monitor. Usually skim 1 brake disc how much alignment..can check from tire condition, it can tell you if it makan side or tengah..due to alignment or camber problem.. really got to rely on honest tire shop to check on it first. |
