Message: <blockquote data-quote="astroboy" data-source="post: 638979" data-attributes="member: 4527">Many reasonable advises above. Bringing them to court or consumer tribunal is the last thing I would do because it takes too much hassle, foot works and u may get back a piece of total lemon with potential sabotage of other parts which can be a ticking time bomb.Before I part with my moolah, especially a big chunk, I would always seek 2nd opinion and never let one item spread to another unless at negligible cost. It's never too late to seek 2nd opinion. In fact you can just pay RM150 to Wearnes, they can diagnose your car and tell you exactly what's wrong with a list of items and jobs to be done.I recently recommended a fellow OM to my friend's tyre shop to get new tyres which I later found out he was charged an exorbitant price for an alignment job.. I also damn malu.I never trust workshops.. never let down your guard because they are after every penny in your pocket, or all the credit limits available in your credit card.Something wrong # 1:"The mechanic (Fitri) said the gearbox was tested work fine condition, but unable to have long test due to my tire problem."What has tyre problem got to do with gearbox testing? Is it so difficult for the workshop in installing temporary good condition wheels just to test the gearbox? Very fishy!Something wrong # 2:"So after the advise, I quickly change the Sport rims so he can test it even longer." You should have driven to car to another workshop to seek 2nd opinion on the gearbox. What's wrong with your tyres and rims?Something wrong # 3:"After a week, as the auto transmission warranty is going to expired, i ask the mechanic to check again."Is one week transmission warranty normal? One week how to test? How long have you been driving and you can't tell if a gearbox is ok or not? You ask them sure they say okay la!Something wrong # 4:"..car failed to start again. This time was advise to change the DME.."Car fail to start surely not because of gearbox, it's a separate issue. So can we conclude gearbox problem solve by now?Something wrong # 5:".. same DME was found. After replacement, he said the engine not so smooth..."What does DME do? To start the car? Now engine not smooth, this is issue number 3, so can we conclude gearbox solved, DME solved? before we move on? again, any 2nd opinion on this engine not smooth?Something wrong # 6:".. He advise me to do the major services,.."We are talking about major service here. What is major service? How major is major? did you get a list of items that need to do for this major service? parts that possibly contributed to the engine not smooth? before you allow them to touch your car and part with more moolah? Geez.... your money must be easy come lah..Something wrong # 7:"..I followed and change the wear and tear item out.."By now I felt like slapping your face and ketuk your kepala! I really want to stop reading.. it's a joke! What has your parents been doing in raising you? Which school you come from?Something wrong # 8:"After week by week he said he got no time for touching my car. "I would have imagine.. major mah.. I think the workshop also cannot decide what's the best procedure to slaughter u. You are just lying on the chopping board, a dead meat in their fridge. What's the hurry?.... and the rest of your encounter is just for reading pleasure..This is what I would do.. If you can afford the bill, cut lost. Pay them and remove your things even if in bits and pieces, I would imagine all are faulty parts, the good one has already been swap and sold to another customer. If they slap you with a hefty bill that can cost you an arm or/and a leg, go to consumer tribunal and hope GOD has mercy on you.Good luck!P/S: Workshop is like salesman, they try to sell fridge to Eskimos or the underwear you are still wearing. If you keep noting your head, may GOD help you!Amen..</blockquote>
