Possibly Major Servicing (Oh Dear...)

This time, not only I have to bring Is-Is for my usual servicing at Eneos car center, I have to bring it to Lim Tayar as well to check out the balance of the wheels. First, let's talk about the car servicing at Eneos.

This time, I have to spend a bit more money on top of the usual RM 190 servicing package. I need to spend another extra RM 54 for the air filter, because the mechanic said that the air filter was dirty-beyond-being-clean. Well, is that a job well done? I do think so, because I've been driving my car quite a lot, plus I'd enter into construction site to fetch people, so there's no wonder that the air filter has to sustain all the dust and dirt that float around in the air.

Then, I took my car to Lim Tayar in Taman Tun Dr Ismail to check out the balancing of the wheel. Guess what, the superviser/manager (I don't like to ask people's name or position, so forgive me for simply addressing this person) told me that the front disk brake rotor needs to be re-surfaced. I was told to bring it back here and let them work on it, which will normally take about 3 hours for the things to work.

But instead of bringing it to Lim Tayar, I brought it to Eneos again to have them check it out for me. This time, the mechanic said that the disk rotor is alright, but the brake pad will have to be changed. Amazingly, the brake pad costs me RM 270!!! Oh Dear, how could this be? Guess I have no choice but to change it. I don't know what's the brand, and I don't really check it on the spot, for I was wandering around 1 Utama to kill my time, while waiting for my car to be serviced.

After the servicing of the brake was done, I have to adjust myself to get used to the action of the brake because the mechanic seems to adjust the action to a bit lower. I started to hear noises coming out from the bottom of the car whenever I was turning my car early in the morning. It doesn't seems to be a major problem because I don't hear that sound after morning, and the car can still turn and maneuver normally. Well, hopefully it's only the effect of the hot-expand-cold-shrink.

I really have to take it to Vision auto one day for a full check up. Oh Dear, that means I need to catch a lot of 'bugs' first because I could do so...
