Yes many riders have shifted to MyCar but guess what, many MyCar drivers are complaining MyCar's fare are ridiculously low and thus they themselves are filtering trips like crazy nowadays.

They're in a catch-22 situation because many of them used to promote MyCar's low fare vs Grab's to the public before, and now they get to taste their own medicine on a daily basis.

RM250 is usually the standard price for dismantling your dashboard, which is where air-cond units are installed in new gen cars. This is only necessary if there is a positive sign of leakage on your cooling coil.

For a normal full service, it will usually cost you between RM150-RM200. If your coil needs replacing, add on the price of that part+full service+dashboard dismantling. Can easily fetch RM600.

Small amount of water dripping from under the dashboard once in a while is normal, it's just condensation in process. Usually there's nothing serious about it, unless if this happens on a daily basis and by the end of the day you end up with a puddle of water on the floor of your whip. My old Gen 2 used to shower my shoes especially during hot days. It was a combo of condensation+a loose pipe/cap. If this is your problem, then it needs a good fixing.

The easiest way for us commoners to detect if there is a leak in the cooling coil is by observing the way the AC unit behaves. You might feel warm air coming out of your vents eventhough you've turned the dial to the coldest temp available or you can smell a bad, nasty odour that you could almost taste the bitterness of it on your tongue. Sometimes, your car's refrigerant is on the low, so your warm air-cond issue can be solved by just topping up the AC gas. However, if your AC becomes warm again in a space of one week, there's 99% your cooling coil needs replacing.

If any of those happens, please bring your car to a trusted air-cond specialist. Refrain from DIY unless you're an expert yourself.

That is weird because my criteria is only to maintain minimum DR 4.70.

It is not 100% accurate, but chances are 50% of what he said is true.

Just use your app bro.

I'm prettu sure there are drivers willing to ferry you to the airport at that hour. If you want to increase your chance, write a note saying "+RM20 tips too" 😁

Today has been a very weird experience for me.

At least twice I received pings but they're gone within 5-7 seconds. I couldn't even think properly whether to accept them or not because once the request appeared on my phone, the timer has reached the 2nd second. At the 7th second, the app locked itself, as if I have passed 10 secs.

Anyone else experience this today or before? I'm not on AA by the way.

Definitely.

Anyway, yesterday I ordered a Grabcar from BST Main Entrance heading to MRT Bukit Bintang. Walking to the MRT station would actually be fun, except it isn't when it's 8pm, slightly drizzling and you're tagging along two kids with you.

I sent him a message saying I'm waiting at the main entrance, to which he replied OK. He was ferrying a rider and I don't mind waiting because I understand the condition of the traffic at that time.

After 6-7 minutes of waiting, the driver sent a message saying he has arrived. I waited and waited he was nowhere to be seen. I waited for nearly 5 minutes before I decided to call him. I told him I'm at the main entrance, near Starbucks. He told me he was waiting outside, under the Imbi monorail station. This ticked me off big time. To be fair, he did try to call me but couldn't get through but sending a text was very much possible at that time because that is what I did.

Upon entering his car, that driver told me it was very difficult to go to the near main entrance. What bullshit, the traffic at the main entrance was very smooth because riders jumped in and out of their rides very quickly, like an F1 pit stop. Not only that, the driver also missed the correct junction and what should be a 1.3km ride turned into a 2.4km one. An extra kilometer is not a big deal on any other day for me but it's a different story when it set you back by nearly 15 minutes more.

I was very close to rate this drive 1*, very very close but alas I didn't rate him at all. I don't know why. Maybe because I'm a Grab driver myself, I don't know.

So they suspend/ban drivers who are willing to ferry riders in crazy traffic just because some riders can't wait any longer and cancel the request?

What an asshole company. They are lucky because MyCar is a shit ass company.

I'm going to pickup 2 adults and 3 kids from KLIA2 and send them to Bukit Bintang tonight.

RM130 all in. I don't know why she doesn't want to request a ride straight from the airport but that's none of my concern. I wish everyday I can get one or two side jobs like this one.

At 10.32pm, I accepted a GS ping from KTM Serdang heading to Apartment Sri Pinang. I had to take it because my CR was 20-ish at that time 😂

What surprised me the most was that the fare was RM13 for 4km. On any other day, it would be around RM9 for GC and RM13-15 for G6.

After I've dropped my rider off at her place, I checked the fare and thank you God the fare was RM6 with RM7 surcharge. I suspect many drivers rejected her ping before due to GS, but this time, I'm very happy she used GS hahaha 😂

Anyway, anyone wants to make an offline deal from Marriot Hotel Putrajaya to DwiPutra Apartment for four people at 7am this morning? The same rider also wants to go from DwiPutra back to Marriot at around 9pm. Please dm me for his number, FCFS tq.

According to Grab, this feature has been requested from their high-rated drivers-partners.

I've been maintaining 4.96-4.97 for nearly a year, nobody from Grab asked me anything about this thing. Big-ass liars.

Did you include a memo saying thay the trip was for an OKU with a wheelchair? It's not a must, but at least you'll get a driver who is more than willing to help. Imagine if the driver was driving an Axia.

Last two weeks I wanted to take my spare tyre from my home to the workshop. I included a memo informing the driver that I'm bringing a tyre wrapped in plastic with me to the destination and the driver was happy to help me. Sometimes, for certain things, it's better to include a note to the driver beforehand. Oh by the way, I booked for a 6s for that ordeal. Just me, my 8 y.o. son and my spare tyre cruising in an Exora. I think I can get by with a GC ride but I just want to increase my chance due to the spare tyre. It's not a must though.

You can join their FB group "MyCar Community Driver Malaysia" and see for yourself.

No incentives for the time being.

Has anybody received yesterday's incentives yet?

I cancelled two trips on the trot. I got suspended for 30 seconds.

I ignored two trips consecutively between 3.20am and 4am. Received the same treatment at this ungodly hour.

30 seconds.

LOL my bad.

I received 5 pings, only one was RM9. Others were RM12-RM30. I was hoping for a GC+ or G6 to KLIA, but none received. But I'm okay with it though since my main purpose was to go and buy some munchies from Family Mart.

If Bezza, not a problem.

One driver slept in his Bezza for nearly 3 hours at landside and he didn't seem to mind at all.

I've only completed 1 trip so far this week.

Feeling more and more demotivated to drive for Grab as the days go by.
