Just went over for the first 1k km service. They quote the estimation cost for next 10k km service is around RM500+-. Is this true?
Based on the maintenance booklet roughly including engine oil and oil filter replacement its only around RM300+- max. So I was wondering where the surcharges coming from?
¹The staff was not willing to entertain my follow up question on this saying "You can get a quotation first on the next service, pologies but i had to attend for next customer immediately"
²This is my first Honda, I had an issue with my front passanger side power window, it creates this whizzing sound when operate. During first service they said they only entertain service appointment and critical repairs during weekends, for other matter like power windows need to reschedule different appointment on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). Is this standard accross all Honda SC?

Based on my existing experience with my civic , Usually the actual it will be lower. Be sure to reject those optional add-on such as engine cleaning, fuel cleaning if you wish to save some money. Those things will cost additional 20 - 40% cost. I usually ask them to remove all those optional from my lists after the customer service open the service order. Honda usually offer this to new car owners as they know you will be more willing to pay.

I think the service rendered really depends on the dealer you are going to. Some service centre have great Service Advisors to explain and address questions from customers nicely. Normally the estimation of RM500+ probably includes lots of optional items included by the SA. You may exclude those optional items.
For car issues, the dealers i normally go, would still entertain appointments to fix issues for saturday. But sunday usually only for normal service only due to shorter operating hours.
40% extra due to optional cost?? No wonder its going to be way expensive than it should. Anyway any of these optional item is useful or recommended to be taken along?
The place i go not even opened on Sunday. So yeah now I'm considering or going to go for other sc for next service just for the sake of seeing the customer service there.

So I decided to get TPMS during sale. After installation I found out my tyre pressure was at 42 psi each. 🤨
I clearly remember after I brought out from showroom I straight away check the tyre pressure and ensure its at recommended level which is 30-32 psi. So I thought the sensors got issue.
Just to confirm, this morning went to pump station for a check and guess what, it really is at 42psi each. Now the only time I guess my tyre got pumped up is when I went for 1k service.
Now does SC simply max out the pressure or the recommended pressure at the side of the door cant pakai one?
For now I made sure the pressure is around 30-34 atleast its not too far off from the recommended pressure.

Which TPMS did you install ya? Does it need special tools to remove the cap?
I installed Steelmate TPMS. cost me around RM190 during 10.10 sales. cap can be removed by hand. But to secure it back need to use its provided mini spanner in order to ensure no air leaking out.
This one.

Yeap happened to me too. After 1st 1k service, they pumped the tyre pressure damn high. No idea why they do that when its clearly above the recommended pressure.
Next service I need to remember to check on the pressure and get some explanation on it if it happen again.
