can i print this and argue with the advisor if they gave the price higher than the table?

Which can omit, you cross check with the chart.
That chart is official from Honda Malaysia website.
You can go to the link and search for all Honda cars maintenance chart.
You can print it n bring it to service and ask them do exactly that only.
As long u do this minimum, your warranty will be intact.

Just paid RM600 for my 5th car service at service center. Already 2.5 years this car.

That is also after cut away all the expensive bullshit like mist or car wash or alignment

I dont think i can sustain if always send to Honda service center.

What are the effects of sending the car to outside mechanic instead?

Local car like axia sometime can exceed rm600 too

Not everyone, some are making more money now

In any case, do not buy something with a loan if you have a backup plan to service the commitments

You can omit 2. and 14. because it is not included inside the Honda service package for 40k km. Your engine oil is more expensive due to you have upgraded from mineral oil to fully synthetic oil. The price of engine oil stated inside the Honda service package is mineral oil.

I suggest you to stick to Honda service center especially for Honda city due to the warranty. I have already claimed warranty for parts such as push start button, aircon blower, 2x reverse sensor for my Honda city Gm6.

You can change battery, tyre and brake pad outside. You can also change the cabin filter outside but u must pandai pandai give reason if they ask when u claim warranty so i suggest better stick to the Honda stock cabin filter even though is more expensive.

the SC even propose me to service the power window motor. RM5 per window. I ask further, the job is only putting grease or oil in the power window motor. i was like....

Honda memang femmes with their upsell tactics

The wear and tear of the parts mentioned should be based on your mileage, and it doesn’t matter your car hasn’t been serviced for 6 months, it should be based on how often u drive the car

The cars are good but when it comes to servicing, it has seriously dented their reputation in the business

They tried to get me to refill aircond gas around 2 years for. Say aircond will feel very cold and syok.
Most of the time I drive without aircond, early morning or at night. Now 6 years still haven't refill the gas and cold enough even on hot days.

Pity those blindly just accept without reading 1st what is being charged.

Yours could've been the recall version, but told you free replacement. Mine lasted for 2.5 years after recall then koyak.

TBH the charges for alignment, tire rotation and wheel balancing is comparable to shops outside, maybe a few bucks cheaper, so I usually let them do it one shot, not worth the hassle

and if you use fuel cleaner a lot, Honda's addictive price is actually cheaper than Caltex Techron/3M fuel line cleaner

Do you notice the additional add-ons like washer fluid or brake cleaner kit from SC ?
that one also you can opt-out

Mine City GM6 highest one is near RM950 (major service) if not forgot, replace fuel strainer, spark plug last 2019. next year baru warranty ends
