EvolutionZ-you are a great and very helpful person.
i also an owner of saga blm, just to findout during service, why the price of material are different rate from one sc to another? and they will charged extra for window washer soap and top up without telling us? are they back to their old trick again? how to check the prices of parts?
anyhow, i have been using few proton cars (saga iswara a/b and wira 1.5a) i find the cars are generally good but the service center really suck, when asked to check they will came back saying check and everything's ok but when you get back your car it's still the same, thanks
actually proton has standardize service package for each service interval, u can get a copy from the nearest branch service centre and refers to it whenever u need to service your car. usually they will recommend additional stuffs like ATF treatment, engine treatment, petrol treatment, magnetic filter bracket, battery terminal protector, wiper cleaner etc etc......
this will cost u a bomb! usually its done by dealer's service centre.....cost they are more profit orientated....sometimes normal service can cost u rm400!
from my experience, campro engine, be it 1.3 or 1.6 auto or manual, the 1st 3 services are as follow
1) 1000km - est rm110.00 ( oil filter, semi sync oil, drain plug gasket, tuning & labor is foc)
2) 5000km - est rm110.00 ( oil filter,semi sync oil drain plug gasket, tuning & labor is foc)
3) 10000km - est rm110.00 ( oil filter, semi sync oil, spark plug, drain plug gasket, tuning & labor foc)
note: after 10,000km the next service is every 10,000km, not 5000km as told by some service centre....kindly refer to the service booklet, in fact u can see full service recommendation on parts to change etc.....
you can opt not to take any other nonsense from the list, just insist i only need the basic stuffs....they usually will follow. for your info, campro only need mineral oil or semi syn.....do not go for fully sync coz it will make yr tappets loosen and rattling sound...then more problems after that.....its build for heavy durability. so normal mineral or semi sync is good enuf.
go to branch svc ctr, puchong jaya, kelana jaya, bkt tinggi klang, kepong maluri, ampang jaya, mutiara damansara, shah alam - kesas, bdr tun razak cheras, section 13 pj, section 19 etc ...they usually will provide a checklist and u need to sign for satisfactory service, do list down remarks if u find not satisfy..... good luck bro.....for more info, go to :
