Vios73 1st Gear June 2, 2007 Share June 2, 2007 I am planning to service my Aveo outside. Anyone has any recommended workshop in the west area? My Aveo is 1 yr old and just completed 20k at Alpine and the damage was $129 (+own cxxxxxe oil at $30). Actually i was thinking to just take up the mineral package at Alpine and run up to 10k for next servicing to save some cost but maybe outside synthetic oil package is cheaper compare to Alpine. Saw the SPC servicing at $68 before and i even consider comfortdelgro group at Pandan. Hope to gather more info from bros here. Cheers. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grooveballer Neutral Newbie June 17, 2007 Share June 17, 2007 Go to RDY Autocare at AMK Autopoint. The owner, Richard, is very good with Chevy's and his workshop is a better alternative to the agents. You can find his link at teamchevysg.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex250 Clutched August 5, 2009 Share August 5, 2009 I knwo this thread is inactive ...can some kind soul please recommend servicing workshop for Optra?

Pisces69 6th Gear August 6, 2009 Share August 6, 2009 I send my Optra to my regular WS in Yishun Indl Pk.A. Optra not difficult as it just a normal Korean Daewoo car. Very similar to Jap cars. Most mech can handle the simple service. If they tell u difficult & ex cos its a conti car, u better run away fast & never look back cos the mech is trying to u.

Gnomish 2nd Gear February 2, 2010 Share February 2, 2010 checking to verify something... is it true that new Aveo5 for the 1st servicing at 1k there's no oil change at all... and only until the 10k servicing will alpine motors do oil change? cos i just heard that for the 1k servicing they only did a car wash and vacuum!!??

Sabretan 4th Gear February 3, 2010 Share February 3, 2010 like that also call servicing?? don't they even check ur engine, fluid, etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear February 3, 2010 Share February 3, 2010 My is also due for servicing. My concern is outside workshop may not be able to tune the engine. Understand all new cars required computerise tunning? =============== No need to tune here tune there. Yours new car, just drive & enjoy. Unless u have problem with engine then u might need to tune. Dont after ture from no problem then wil have problem. U just need to change what is recommended in your handbook. Normally 10K km is only oil & oil filter. Very straight forward. Other fluids u can check yourself. Tire balancing & rotation u send to good tire shop to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte3737 5th Gear November 21, 2010 Share November 21, 2010 Go anywhere except RDY autocare. Please do not go, let me repeat, do not go RDY autocare. They will ruin your chevrolet badly. I had a terrible experience with them. Trust me, you won't regret. provide more details. simply saying they are bad is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1457 Neutral Newbie April 23, 2011 Share April 23, 2011 Hi guys, I have query regarding my Chevrolet Aveo 2007 model. My ABS seems to be giving this weird problem below: Recently, when I am bringing my Aveo to a halt by stepping on the brake pedal, it has this weird rumbling sound (like juggling marble) and this tingling sensation on the brake pedal. After that, I purposely stepped on the brake pedal and the ABS light came on. Once the ABS light comes on (meaning ABS not working), the weird sound and the sensation is gone. After I park my car (turn off engine), wait for half an hour and restart engine, the ABS light is not lit anymore, then the tingling sensation comes back with the rumbling sound when I am breaking my car. Again, I purposely step on the break, ABS light comes on and symptoms are gone. And the cycle repeats. Seems to me this is an ABS issue... Any one encountered or know of this problem ? And how much does it cost to fix this? Thanks! George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear April 25, 2011 Share April 25, 2011 Actually this is a freaking simple car. Don't expect great driving experience from it. It is the ABS that ruins it. Else it would have been a great simple car like the Hyundai Getz which is a very trouble-free car thanks to its simplicity. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
