Regular Service - Vision Auto - TRD Malaysia

Brought the car to Vision auto for a servicing this morning. Read from certain auto forum that this Vision auto will charge a lot of money for car servicing, so I've never given any thought to bring my car here for a service, unless I need a major repair. After the experience that I have with them for fixing my car ABS sensor, A/C, and the Shift-Lock problem, I decided to give it a go.

First off, the technical personnel would go to my car, read the tag beside the passenger side door to get the model number. This is some practice that I never seen any motor servicing shop would do. Next stop, he recorded down the mileage of my car. Then, he recommended me the things that should be serviced for this car model at that40,000KM mileage - transmission oil change, engine oil change, and AC oil change. The amount was a whopping RM 784.00... That's a lot of money, but is it expensive? I think it's not that expensive considering that from the price list, they'll be doing a lot of checking and would change a lot of things that's necessary to be changed, that's fair enough.

Because I've done my transmission change before in Eneos car center that included flushing out the old transmission oil, and I've done my AC oil change with them before from my history of servicing with this company, all I need is to do the normal car servicing, which includes the normal inspection, brake servicing, and engine oil change. The whole thing costs me RM 289.00. It's about RM99.00 more than Eneos Car Center, but I could feel that there's a difference with that RM99.00. First, I could feel that the engine run smoother with the TOM's engine oil as compare to the Eneos engine oil. Second, they did service the brake because it feels more grip now when it's pressed. Thirdly, I could come back to service my car after 10,000KM as compare to Eneos Car Center, who always wanted me to come back to service every 5,000KM.

They do have a client database that keep tracks on the history of servicing of their customers, so that they could recommend on the servicing options. This is good because at least they won't simply mess around with your car. I'm not sure if it's expensive, but at least I could get a reliable service.
