Parallel Importer Workshop(scary)

[Mzrmazda3]

scary, now must think twice about PI

 

Yeah Bro

 

Don't wanna land up in a situation whereby spend ten of thousands of dollars liao and still need to get worked up over warranty claim during the warranty period

[Mzrmazda3]

I also got my car from a PI.

 

Smooth process.

 

Its about whom you buy from.

 

As for warranty, don't expect the coverage to be like from AD and I think PI & AD price difference could be a few thousand bucks. Which part of the car can fail that will cost that amount to repair?

 

Check the warranty booklet for details.

 

Just to share, for my case, I stopped going back after my 1k servicing coz after going through the booklet, the item that is most prone to spoil is not covered (ie. absorbers)so I rather go do at my own preferred workshop. When the time comes to replace the absorbers, I just get the parts and find a workshop to install them.

 

Of coz I bear the risk but then, if you are getting a tried and tested model, not much to worry about, the savings from servicing elsewhere should be enough to cover those parts that are expected to fail in time.

 

Bro, glad to hear that you have got good experience buying from PI

 

I believe for AT rides the most Ex part i believe is the AT gear box

 

If suay suay got problem and IF they do not replace for you, it's not cheap

 

That's why finding a PI is very important

 

Of course, there are still PIs around and one have to do their homwework before committing

Q: i read abt it last nite.. who's this adrain btw? what's his position in the company? or is he from the workshop? it feels like a 3rd party helping the workshop..

 

A: Adrain is a service advisor working in World Auto(PI Authorise workshop).

 

For those who've seen Adrian himself, think he's more than just a typical SA there lah.

[Gadgeter]

that's right. Wonder what's the company point of view..

 

Personally, if you cannot make decision, dun reply...

[Gadgeter]

 

i guess both parties were a bit too overcome by emotions le .. nt v tactful...

seems like no more reply from both side..

[Fabulous]

ehh bro..

 

When you say more than SA means what huh? Service Manager?

 

By the way, waited for so long also no news about the claims, seems that the PI workshop trying really trying "siam"?

[Nephilim]

When you look at the pic of the owner at their website: http://www.worldauto.com.sg/html/main/aboutus.html, don't you think Adrian looks a bit like him?

 

But just my guess lah, I'm in no position to confirm.

 

As for the warranty/claims, seems like their usual style is must PM this person that person then they settle with you one by one, thus avoiding having to announce anything publicly.

 

Like a lot of dirty linen cannot show the world like that
