Becareful @ R&R Seremban

[ravis]

The problem is that none of the victims who has posted their ordeal here has made any report for the police to take actions. If they do also, we are not sure if police will eva take serious actions on them. Only now we know about these syndicates but my dad and others frenz told me that this type of activity has been going on for a long time.....

Guys, this was taken from Perdana Club thread, few of my fren kena like this before as he posted in Malay, I translated to English…..this is the story below…so guys becareful when @ R&R, keep an eye on these few Indian guys…..

1. that morning, stop @ R&R seremban for breakfast
2. parking was full, so gotta park further whereby not many ppl passby there
3. ate breakfast for approx 20 mins
4. continue journey, bout 10 mins/10km, temperature increased
5. stopped @ emergency lane
6. less than 1 min, a car stopped, 2 indian guys inside to offer help
7. they check & told that the head gasket edi bocor
8. offered to tow the car to his frens workshop nearby, tow using his car with a rope
9. estimated they will charge according to market price or lower as they told me
10. when car done, the bill was damn expensive just for simple job done
11. if don’t pay, car cannot be collected, tried to nego but they wanna put up a fight
12. workmanship was like s**t
13. but no choice, had to pay them cos wanted to collect the car
14. went to meet some frens that own workshop around seremban area, they said the radiator hose was punctured while they were eating @ R&R SEremban
15. the same modus operandi was used several times in Seremban area

Owh... kesian that fella... Maybe they cut the lower rad hose right? Since cannot reach the upper one. Better make a custom stainless steel rad pipe with a thick wire mesh after this. It's better pay expensive now than to say sorry later on...

Thanks for all the useful and alerting sharing.
It was very fortunate for me never met those traps set by those bastards many times I traveled along NSE.
Guys, please post up those bastards' vehicle plate numbers and even photos so that we can make a blacklist in our mobile phones or cars for reference in case we bump into one of those bastards, we would know who they are and what to do next. :secruity:

 

[ravis]

Lucky you chromeless1, nothing serious happened to you and your family. These bastards are risking our life's with their dirty tricks.

god will punish them..........my friends.......

try to imagine if it is really they set a trap then a motorcycle pass by....aih.....sad

 

[g4i8y0t]

Guys, I think what we should do now is to try to alert as many people as possible, friends and family, other forummers in ZTH and also people in other forums about these thugs and their modus operandi. I've already alerted my family members and friends about this.

Wira towed another car? Not tow truck?

I live in SBN, if the cars are towed from Melaka - Senawang R&R then they are being taken to SBN Selatan workshop. If you see car being towed from KL - SBN highway R&R then they will be taken to Mambau or SBN 2 workshop.....this is my opinion based on the inputs from the victims and based on the distance where the car broke down. So no matter where they take you.....its gonan be like hell....JUZ SAY "NO" to them and get PLUS to tow your car to the nearest TOLL. From there if you are familiar with the area & if you hv the contact number of the mechanic you know, pls call them. If you are not familiar, pls call your frenz or family members to assist or get them to call some people who may know mechanics over there. You also can speak to the PLUS tow truck guys for info on mechanics at that area. DON'T PANIC.....juz be calm. Nothing to be afraid since you are near the TOLL area. For new cars or which is still under warranty, pls get it towed the the SC. Juz my 2 cents opinion.

 

[chromeless1]

hmm...well...if u guys hv contacts for tow trucks (that u r familiar or know) then can make it sticky for hiway help example PLUS hotline, AAM service, Insurance contact no. ..easier for forumers to refer...right?

 

[chuckie]

be careful guyz

well all this is true as i was conned also,

i was on my way to KL for company training from melaka

my car overheated then i stop at the road side, (senawang) then within 1 minute an indian guy stop by in a wira aeroback was in a plus t shirt. (his car windscreen have 2 crack macam kena baling batu)

my mistake was i let them tow to their shop i ask them estimate how much it would cost. this guy named Kumar said it would only cost about RM280-RM500

unfortunately the next day i have a flight overseas so for an overheated engine i agak it wont cost so much.. so i told them i would leave my car there till i contact my friend in nilai come pick it up...

Guess what... then next morning i was about to leave for my flight i receive a call from 062671164

"abang i sudah bukak lu punya engine... suma rosak la bang... piston sudah rosak host sudah bocor, head sudah rosak this n that"

then i ask him to why you dismantle the engine... i want u to put it back.. then he replied

"oh bang dismantle kena charge RM300 pasang balik lagi RM300"

i was like F...! no choice had to get them to fix it ... as i know ... if i ask them to put it back im sure then gonna put spoiled part in my car... it would be even worse.. so no choice i had to ask them to proceed

when i got back ... i when take my car... my BILL was near RM2K

for u all out there ... pls becareful... i know they are also want cari makan... but this is too much
Karma would get them back.

My customer faced the same tactic last 2 weeks in Jalan Duta. His perdana v6 stopped because of a faulty alternator. Like you, when he parked his car by the roadside he was approached by two Indians on a motorbike offering to help. Desperate, he let them check the car. They told him it was a faulty alternator. So he asked them how much and they told him it would cost him rm480 + workmanship. Thinking it would be cheaper than having the car towed and repaired, he agreed to let them repair it. Then one of them left and said he wanted to get the parts. The other started work on his car. The other guy came back after 20 minutes with the alternator and said that the cost of the alternator is higher because its reconditioned lar..and this shit and lotsa excuses. Said it would cost him Rm580. They have already partly dismantled some parts in the car. So he got no choice but to let them finish the job. So after waiting for 2 hours, finally the alternator was changed and you know what... the guys changed their stories again this time and said the total cost of the repairs was Rm580 for the alternator + workmanship Rm300. Typical conmen. So total is Rm880. It was already drizzling a bit and it was dark so he didnt argue much and paid and left.
When he told me, i told him that towing fees for the car back would be around Rm100 to Rm150 and the maximum cost of the perdana alternator + workmanship and a normal workshop should be around Rm400. And also his towing would be free from the insurance company. So in the end he ended paying Rm400 to Rm500 more that he should.
It is also dangerous to have your car repaired at the road side. You could get hit by some other drivers or get mugged by the roadside.
Moral of the story is never, just get your car towed to your regular workshop and never trust these buggers. Most insurance companies provide towing services and you can get them to tow your car back for free or for only a minimal charge.
