it's really luck based.

I claimed once for myvi rear windscreen. After 5 years started leaking water. I bring to my own workshop check. That guy opened up show me karat everywhere surrounding the windshield. Apparently the insurance workshop do such a shit job, no water proof and just placed it there.

So i asked him to check front bonnet cos i claimed before also. He opened, said same thing, no water sealing but not as important since it doesnt trap water there and engine can dry up the water.

Then proceed to tell me those insurance workshop is memang damn shit skill. Those good one will know good business out there cos really majority is shit skill no ppl realized, once kena u will die die send to ur own workshop for future repair.

Right? I not sure why nowadays workmanship in our society getting worse. We are like taking steps backward with this kind of attitude in working.

Thanks for your sharing bro and I really feel bad for your car. Hopefully those incident let us "gain" something from it.

I bought proton insurance and on top of that usually 4S would be the one honest and doing a very good job. Previously my Myvi I fork out my own money to repaint the whole car and their job is really good as compared to other car that I sent to outside cap ayam workshop.

But proton really disappointing. They did the job worse than those mechanics under the tree.
My car is still within quite new, less than a year old and I bought proton insurance and on top of that usually 4S would be the one honest and doing a very good job.

That's the drawback of booming population/market.

Many shit skill ppl joining the fray. The market is oversaturated with bullshit now it's really difficult to avoid getting shit on.

I run a skill based business also. There really is a lot of weird no fuck given ppl but with gung ho attitude to do whatever and charge ppl for it. It's even more depressing when the tauke themselves undercutting everyone by engaging cheaper subcon. What's happening to car service industry is those 4S center will sub those job to private workshop, my go to workshop told me this. He do detailing job and his main customer is nearby Honda center. He keep telling me the last place u want is insurance chop shop. They do the most fuck up questionable job ever, zero fuck given. They will just pump silicon everywhere and job is done as long as the car crossed the bump without things falling apart.
