30K servicing worth to go CA?

[Peterlee]

Hi. My 30k servicing coming soon. Was thinking worth going back to CA or give some 3rd party a try. I also exp. aircon problem and recently my power steering warning light is appearing. Sometime can feel steering very heavy.

 

So any recommendation. What was the VW service contact again??? Something servothronic?

Servotronic at Sin ming autocare. Very good service. Reasonable price also

HI Peter,

 

Just sent my car to CA yesterday for repair on the front which was H&R. (After 4 damned months) I told them to do my 30k servicing as well.

 

Apparently, for first time customer sending in their vehicle for servicing for the first time, they will provide free labor to change mineral oil (free) & oil filter (free). But if you want them to conduct a check on the other items, like brake, belts etc, you will have to pay $110.00. Top up 52.50 if you want synthetic oil instead.

 

Since car is still new, I skip the $110 check but top up 52.50 for synthetic oil.

Just curious. How much is your repair bill come up to be? Claiming the other party?

[Peterlee]

Mine is not the first time anymore. BTW, I just found out I lost my front panel black plastic thing! Where can I get a replacement? You know the one where the fog light should have been!?

[Sonnytay]

Slightly above 4k.

Yep, claiming the company where the h&r happened. Hopefully can go through.

[Sonnytay]

Peter, let me give you this suggestion.

 

1) Organise a meetup

2) Check out other fabias

3) When owner not looking, remove one of the plastic thingy from the other fabia

4) Quickly hide the thing away

5) Fix the thing on your fabia when you reach home

 

P/S: Please exclude me from your meetup.

[Peterlee]

wow piang like that next time skoda fabia see me will run the other way.

 

Anyway can CA or Servortonic supply me those panel?

Hi Sonny,

Saw your car at Hup Seng,

Must be yours, only black skoda with EG plates.

Must say it is looking good,

they were polishing the front and adjusting the left wheel well.

 

when will you get collect your car ?

[Sonnytay]

HI. Just collected the car this morning 13/9 Friday.

 

Hup Seng? Where is it?

 

Anyway, the final cost was reduced after discount on parts. Initial quote was 4002, final figure was 3245. (sxxt, must remember to buy bay-pio liao.) About 1 month plus neber wash car before I sent the car in on Tuesday. Collect the car back washed, vacuumed and wiped. Ha Ha Ha .......

 

Now thinking of fixing back spoiler & rear windscreen hood. Any recommendation?

Hi Sonny,

Hup Seng is behind Alexendra Village,

It's where all Volvo, WV, and Skoda are fixed when brought to the car agents for body work !

Peter, your missing front panel (which is supposed to house the fog lights) is VERY FLIMSY.. that is why you lost it. I have tried removing teh whole of the bottom black panels and they are quite easy except for the centre portion which I couldnt... heard I had to remove the whole bumper to remove the centre low grille.

 

As for servicing, if its just change oil, any mech also can lah... unless you have specific needs then Servo might be a good place to go to.

 

I just changed my oil at a normal workshop... didnt go Servoi as they want $30 from me for oil and filter change! Went to a normal mech instead and paid just $15. In JB, heard its even cheaper at less than 10 RM for oil change and filter change.... provided you bring your oil and filter of course.

 

Just got some Amsoil and bot some filters from MANN

[Sky8807]

No need to remove bumper to remove the centre lower panel. I had remove it b4.

A little prying that is all.

[Fabiaman]

Huh? Then you mut teach me how to remove it.

 

Okay , in cae you guy are wondering why I asked. I am trying to DIY the fixing up of a GRILLE on the lower part of the front. Hence, to do so, need to remove the black plastic grilles.
