Pluzzed about Servicing Done by Autosaver

<< < (3/9) > >>

Ender:
My car coming to 60K, TC never ask me to change brake pad... Maybe next servicing I ask them to check thoroughly. But 30K to change brake pad, also seem too soon, unless you are those who always brake alot..

ben5266:
Indeed, they are very friendly and explain the reason to change very nicely and convincingly. That's why I agreed to change.
Btw, my old sunny (again), 100k km, never change brake pad. Yes, I am not the chiong type and release gas early before stopping. But 100k vs 20k? You judge.

d.titan:
Think our Latio original brake pad can last abt 60k,
I change mine at 100k (actually still use, but since servicing..so change la)
Rear brake sure can last much longer.
Did not change rear as TC mentioned still can use.
Change brake at 40K, think unless alot of brake stop (city drive)
and hard braking (racer driver).....hahahaha

I went for my 40k servicing at AS west branch recently. Was told by the mechanic that both brake pads and shoes worn off. Need to replace for $135 x 2 pairs. I did not verify as was in a rush then, so asked them to proceed.

But thinking about it now, rear brakes should have lasted longer than the front pads. Actually i should have waited and check physically the wear and tear first.

Similarly, both my brake pads & shoes were changed off at 60k km at AS Ubi. Mech told me can last another 5km but I changed it since car was already there for servicing.
If I remember correctly, the drum shoes should be cheaper.

I have been going to Autosaver for servicing for years - when I was driving my old Sunny as well as twice after change to Latio.

My experience with them used to be very nice - I could find a stool and sit near my car as they serviced it, and they'd briefly tell me what they are doing to the car (eg. this part is worn out, see here.. and this is the new part we are going fit in etc).  I always left the workshop feeling the time and money well spent.

Nowadays, they are a bit more commercialised already.  The workshop is always busy and the car don't get attended to even when booking was done.  I can no longer see the car being serviced (in fact, I'm always asked to leave the car with them).

Recently, after my 2 negative experience with them on my Latio, I'm having 2nd thoughts going back to them again (I suspect their mechanic doesn't know the car well, and dunno if they really went thru the 40k servicing)

Maybe I'd switch back to TC for a better peace of mind.   :unsure:
