You need to have good repo with service center. mine was a small service center at Bentong. they're willing to minus the "additional" item, they even let me bring along my own engine oil. just a small service center with 3 operating bay. i just sit at a chair beside my blm when they service it . I'm not too trusting to just sit back and enjoy tv at customer waiting room.

please doublecheck your quote before submit to them, lots of service center will auto add this stupid item. mostly veteran/older people dont mind...but not me.

Thanks Mr Alien, heavencloud and flying-liao for the problem pinpointing. Actually my car's not that new, about 3 months old, and I haven't go for the first service yet aikz I know I should but it's really too hectic... took my car to first sc during CNY week thursday... called them beforehand, they said no prob, then when I went they told me the related technicians to my other problems are all on holiday. Sweeet. Waste of petrol. Only a few days after that I found out about the steering shuddering problem...
NOW this is really eye-opening... thanks for the heads-up... at least now I'm prepared for the worst case scenario... 
Thanks, will get it done soon. Hopefully it'll be settled then..
Lol.

ar....sorry if my advise is somekind of demon...dont do it at home!!
i juz ask my sa a couple of hrs b4 i post,they say needs 1 mth wait for blm,
as for my car, initially they said 2 weeks, by now almost 3 weeks already,the still have no idea
when can get the colour i want.....  
if needed urgently, probably members here can recommend a fast 1, but prepare for a
longer wait as commanly happen, can avoid getting angry ma....

^yeah, similar..

Some SC does allow you to bring your own engine oil. Anyone know any SC that allow this in Shah Alam area?

off topic

u r bentong ppl?

i m raub ppl leh...bt now working in KL.

I only know after 10k mileage sure can use own oil.  Cos now using my own engine oil.

Hohoho..

Yep, got quite a few BLM here in Bentong. Mostly uncle/unties i think .
Me...working Temerloh, home Bentong. my working ride is Satria 1.3 though.
better pickup at old road (lots of overtaking lorries) + better fuel consumption.

my average record...full tank can get >500km...dun keep track anymore. around RM 10 = 80km.

if u were to juz have a transport to move around within this few years, disregard the quality of an old car, i would intro u a sedan iswara 1.3 year 2001. ranging around rm12k, with loan still applicable.can still fit into the roads for around 5 years till ur stable in income to have a better car.some more, its still a reliable car thou, as taxis are having it now too..

yea exactly, so u might want to think twice before getting the blm. coz the lmst is quite affordable to maintain. the spare parts are cheap enough and since u're not bringin ur whole family around, i guess is ok with the lmst. coz u have to realize paying the installment every month is pain in the ass.
luckily im paid my car by cash and i dun have to worry bout those installment. and interest do kills.

meanwhile, you cannot stop visualizing yourself being in a new car. determination of a person does results to the thing that person owns. so u might want to be visualizing yourself being in a new blm until the extent that it is so true just like the car is just in front of you. And then it might really happen. by how? we don't know. but it will really happen 1 day soon if ur determination to own that thing is really strong enough. It can be u strike lottery tomorrow and u just happen to have the money for the car. haha it sounds like dream but it does happen. i dun mean is just by winning lottery, it can be any way. so be focus and go towards ur goal. All the best. 

I would suggest getting the LMST. It is much cheaper to maintain compare to BLM.

So far I only change the power window switch at SC.

yea..ive been calculating the cost and everything..interest does hurt alot..i guess when the times come,ill get a new car on my own..not in the nearest future i guess..since even an rm20k downpayment would cost rm200+/month..looks like a small amount but still we hear about kancils being repossessed every now and then..haih..ill listen to the more experienced people since im only 22 and i dont think i know much..

the choice is between an lmst and a wira now..still deciding but to be honest,the boxy design of the lmst is quite a turn off.. 

p/s:and guess what,my mini broke down again today...
