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.

Same to me, Did my 40K servicing at AS Kaki Bukit and was physo to change the brake pad. All my friends said I am also conned by them.
I have been visiting AS since the Tan Chong free servicing is over. Recently I got the air-con problem which I thought is the coolant leak. After went to JB service centre and found out it is the radiator choke and the problem is solved with just spraying of cleaning solution to the radiator. I just can't believe from 10K, 20K..till 50K servicing from AS they did not do the cleaning for me.
My 60K is reached think I will not go back to AS anymore.
clarence:
I think in general, you got to be knowledgeable on what neds to be changed during each servicing.
Motor workshops are commercial entities whereby their primary objective is to generate profit.
My friend (not knowledgeable about cars)) sent his Vios to Motogard at Tampines, after seeing their cheap synthetioc oil costing below $100.
In the end, he got charged for a lot of "extras" including adjustng/tightening the handbrake.
They also called him to say that his 4 tyres had uneven wear and advised him to change them. The tyres were changed just a yr ago and travelled only 20,000km. I suspect Motogard sold his used tyres and they deal in used tyres too.
They also recommended that he change to broader 195/60R14 tyres (stock size is 185/65R14) "for better grip". These Goodyear NCT5 tyres cost more than the stock tyre size.
He got a shock when he got the bill, and said he should have just sent it to Borneo Motors.
Penny wise, pound foolish.
pizzaboy:
other than the much tok abt AS or RV in tis forum, another wkshop to consider is autoaid as they r the next alternative to tcm svc ctrs... they carry original nissan parts at a much cheaper price tag and wider selections of engine oil brands.

I went to AS Kaki Bukit and they also tried to con me at my 40k servicing. Said my rear brake pad is thin and need to change. That make me v suspicious as I knew the front shd wear off first. Also tried to show me alternator belt has crack and shd change although I simply cannot see any signs of crack.
I am thinking of going somewhere else for my 50K servicing. Any good recommendations are welcomed.
