Crash I had Sunday in mind for the drive.
I'd like to take the owners to SIC, but after seeing the amount of hooligans at the last track day it just ain't worth it. Red Flags every 20 mins due to unruly drivers goin off left right centre..Some guys managed only 10 laps due to all that... nah I'll just organise one with Lotus Club next year and we can have 3 hrs exclusively.

Just did my first service yesterday. The experience with Mutiara Damansara SC sucks to say the least. Made an appointment for 7:30. Arrived there slightly late 745 and there was already 10 cars ahead of me. Anyway did the normal procedure. Obtain the appointment ticket which starts from (2000) from the counter.
Waited till 8:45 to see the SC and tell him that I am here to have my first service did mention that I have some slight complains. Asked him what time can I collect my car, and he said he cant confirm as there are 20 over cars that day and the fact that I have some complains it would take time to rectify.
Waited till 10 and my car is still outside (you need to hand over your keys to the SC when you register, and they will drive your car into the workshop once its your turn). What the @#$%. Ok never mind I was late. Called my fren who happens to be on leave to pick me up for brunch. Pls bear in mind I toke leave to service my car.
Had brunch and came back at 1pm. What the @#$% again my car is still outside the show room. Went in to complain, they say "hari ni banyak kereta lah". Ok went out with my fren again to Tesco. Came back at 4pm and my car is not ready yet. Asked whats taking soooo darn long to change lubes, the SC guy said, oh its because you have complains, we have to put it aside first and let those people that are here for normal services to finish first. This is total CRAP!!! What kind of excuse is that??!!!!
The whole first service encounter only ended at 530 pm. Should have just left my car there and went to work instead of taking leave.
Just an advice to my fellow R3 owners, pls do plan properly before sending your car to the SC. Its better to leave it there early in the morning and come back late in the evening to collect your car!!! Instead of waiting like and dumb ass there for the whole day.........

It's too bad you didn't have the liberty to hang around while they "fix up" the car. I would've just taken the day off and make sure my car is done properly and all problem solved.
Seriously, this is really reflecting badly on R3. If PE doesn't intend to commit to R3's exclusivity, then they shouldn't bother promising anything at all.
Edit : Oh wait a minute...you DID take leave...

well thats the Proton "experience" <_<
:blink: This was the exact same case as mine but my car is a GTi and it was my first service that time.. i sent my car to puchong proton SC as its just down the road to my hse.. i was the fifth car in line for service, so i'd expect at least 1 hr to collect from 8.30.. so i went to eat breakfast and lepak till an hr had passed. to my surprise, my car was not touched at all and like only 3 cars were done..Originally posted by handsome_lala@Dec 24 2004, 08:59

i told them why take so long? they said the same thing "you have complaints on your car, we need a specialist to rectify it..." that time i had a small chip on my windscreen as a product defect (my dad didnt check the car too properly b4 driving back home), tappet noise loud etc.. thus i waited and to cut the story, i collected my car at around 6.30pm... :( :( after that first service, i never sent my car to a proton SC ever again.. changing lubes, oil filter and such would only take the max 30mins i'd say with time to spare for a ciggie, but i have no idea why those ppl at proton SC take ages.. oh yah while i was there waiting like a nut waiting to be cracked, those guys had like 4-5 tea breaks while servicing just 1 car.. its like they unscrewed the oil filter, ok its time for tea break.. sip a cup of tea, then chit chat, then go back, replace the oil filter, ok lets take another break.. wtf!... <_<
those bugger memang like that.
the warranty they gave you guys is 3 years parts/lubes/labour?
my problem with the car was the outside smell kept coming into the car via aircond vent. the slider kept moving to the middle on its own. bring to sc they dunno do what fark change aircond filter la this la that la.....few monkeys have a look kenot solve two times service also like that. that was the shah alam glenmarie sc.
bring to my dad's trusty mechanic, in 45 seconds he took out a screwdriver undo the dash area for aircond vent. screw the slider vent tight. replace it and said kao dim. free for you la this wan small problem. :ph34r:
suffice to say i didn't care about the warranty and continued to go my dad's trusty mechanic.
u dun rant and rave they don't bother think u gullible will sit there only. must complain kao kao if u want anything done. all the youngsters all fresh grad from technical skool dunno nuts. my friend told me his friend took his wira 1.8 to service they forgot to put back the ABS wires :ph34r: again few monkeys dunno whats going on ABS dun work, until an old farker come and do it for them.
*haih* too many complaints la. forget about it liao. when next time you guys TT with r3 people make sure your complaints are noted.
write a letter, pass one copy to them, cc to management and any relevant party <_<

I just got that speaker vibration fixed FOC by my tint installer, ECOTINT. Seems that some rubber housing is loose and vibrates like hell at low frequency sounds. Some glue solved that problem instantly.
My advice guys, if you want to save time and frustration, DIY the little nagging things like interior buzzing and vibrations. Just bother Mutiara with the major mechanical issues. I guarantee you'll live a few years more due to less stress.
