different mechanic using different alignment system... the current mechanic can say that previous different alignment system screw up the settings or the mechanic screw up the VIP screws/nuts & damaged... as simple the warranty void once opened engine valve cover, they can said previous mechanic screw up the engine...

you do know the warranty is just for silly silly stuff only. major problem still you have to pay what like camshaft runout not linear bla bla still have to pay if change.

btw i wanna ask la. if buy second hand car, even tho my settings still stock will i still have warranty? or that warranty only for the previous owner?

so originally....if your car is a new car and under warranty...u go to other shop to do allignment...will it void the warranty?

pls re-read my post again~
btw new car below 1k km can claim for alignment+balancing

unrelated post will b reported,ok? ?

ok i just re-read your post and answer is NO your warranty not void but mechanic [A] ain't stupid enough to realise his previous work has been handled by mechanic [ even tho if he actually did it wrong. And how can you actually know alignment still not "cun" after 2 services?! they have to go put on 4 post hoist then dyno only then you can know if alignmnt not 99% cun unless if its really obvious la. mechanic [A] will report you to manaemnt and bla bla kantoi. like mercedes, any services done are recorded on black/whit paper so you cant fool them say if you went to their SC then you go do outside workshop and it's screwed up then you went back SC say they did wrong because all your car diagnosis has been recorded and kept in programmed cpu.

edit: damnit silly emoticon codes must type small b in bracket

normally is wont..i had try b4. i even told the mechanic i do at other place.

how a camshaft contribute in alignment?

lets say i send a phone to u for repairing the sound.. after repair i realise i still have same problem and i bring to another repair shop..
again, the sound is as bad as no repair done and i bring back to u for claim.. how will u react?

cuz he told me tat he wen 2 other mechanic re-adjust his alignment then wanna go back 2 previous mechanic 2 claim his workmanship no good~

but usually mechanic will do some paints on some major screws?
if found that paint chip off or cracked or mis-align, means someone touched...

phone is phone, car is car. stay on topic. i stated the bottom part is applied to Mercedes technology. as for proton, yes you can fool them as crap car who cares ( i drive proton btw) but sooner or later if your same face go to SC they'll find out you've done it outside as they'll take more precautions and procedures are recorded say runout measurement all record 1 at what angle all they record. pls, stay on topic what is this comparison to a phone

i do tat 2 my customer's car 2 avoid being fool by sum bad customer



phone n car's warranty is more alike d same so there's nothing wrong wit his post~
i too drives a proton

the guy should go back to mechanic [a] and claim for waranty if he feels the steering is not right so it can be readjusted again... not going to another mechanic......

dun u know workmanship got warranty also? ?

yes because if went to mech B, mech A is not responsible for whatever happens afterwards. now its mech B warranty

correct~
y i din't think of tat statement leh~
anyway thanks~

Afaik, for Proton, even if you change your rims it will void!

did u read 1st post b4 u give comment? ?

iirc there is no warranty for alignment workmanship. my regular shop calls me up a week after the service as a complimentary follow-up, although if the job isn't up to my specs, ill just bring it in the next day and they'll adjust it for free.

tis already call warranty mah~
cuz not up 2 ur spec due 2 their workmanship so of cuz they will re-adjust for u free ma~
