Look at your manual, should have told your ATF need to change at what millage.

BTW it's okay to service your car la, close one eyes lo.

Toyota vios. Nah he charged ac filter rm28. So 180 purely flushing maintenance. Oil filter in the bill was for M oil filter. Originally should be 25. Swapped mine (I brought wrong size) n gave me discount Rm10. So bill me rm15.

your vios is which gen ah? Orga ncp42 or dugong ncp93? and spec E or G or S?
and what is M oil?

Guna thermometer takde lah. Cuma cakap pasti sejuk. Lol. Memang sejuk sbb da lama panas. Kena guna 1 minggu baru confirm tetap sejuk tak.

pandai tengok clutch-magnet aircon tak ?

clutch magnet once aircon sudah sejuk follow your desire temp.
it will cut-off ( berhenti pusing ) it will save your compressor life-span.
but if continue pusing all the time your compressor got problem.

*bende tu pusing when your turn aircon. if one day you turn aircon
bende tu tak pusing your wont feel any cold*

If aircon bocor / kurang magnet clutch wont pusing at all.

Wrong. When rear brake shoes worn out and becomes thinner, then yiu adjust cable to tighten it so that to bring the pads closer to original position.

So the higher the hand brake means the thinner the brake pads?

And what are the signs the brake pads must be changed? Eg hissing sound when braking?
*
Yes. Thinner brake pads means they are further away from the brake drum and therefore need longer pull of the handbrake to let it close or lock on.
Hissing sound means yr brake pad is close to "gone" as there is a metal plate meant to alert/remind you that they hv reach min. thickness and time to change.

Today went to check my car toyota vios aircon. Mechanic said my hand brake too high already needs to change gear (auto transmission oil) oil. Said not expensive.

Here is breakdown of bill in photo.

Auto transmission oil rm220
Air con flushing rm180

Oil filter only Rm15 because he absorbed the one I brought which was wrong size. The correct one his original charge is rm25. It is not the charge of atf filter.

So workmanship 80 include those listed plus changing M oil.

Didn't expect the gear oil so expensive. Mechanic claimed aircon compressor pressure very high despite flushing n changed aircon filter rm28. If air con not cold next round highly likely needs to change compressor.

Car is low mileage so when reach 50k km (now just touched 40k) he advised to change belt (rubber material), check brake pad n check tyres (>4 years old). Now no noticeable issues.

Are the charges fair or markup too high? And the advices standard? [attachmentid=11513376]

toyota service centre or just a normal workshop ? look like very expensive for both stuff

I think is preventation maintenance.
Aircon flushing do outside, Rm150. Transmission oil ok la. I think yours is CVT? CVT oil expensive abit.

Been around more than 15 years. Dulu my car battery flat at home he rode motorbike came and changed at my condo with new battery. Battery almost always lasted more than 4-6 years. Can't complain lah.

Yea, 4AT ATF cant mix with CVT fluid...different 1 if not wrong.

Wow. That's very detailed explanation. No wonder my last car the old partner checked then recommend me to change entirely new one. That car have few front collisions. Air con became not cold after a while suspect leaking even car was like 5 yo. So changed entire new set. Lasted till I sold it when it was 9 yo.

Mine also leaking previously. Not cold after 3+ months then go top up. Then i bought the stop leak and fill into the aircond refrigerant pipe. After that ok d till now.

Not compressor problem i think. Just a small tiny leak somewhere, even the mechanic cannot find it after putting the dye.

Its almost 2 years since using. So far so good. Car using almost everyday

Atf is automatic transmission fluid. Cvtf is continuous variable transmission fluid. Totally 2 different things.

To know which to use, u must know your vios is using at or cvt. If not mistaken, older gen of your model is at and newer gen is cvt. Can u let us know yours is which year?
