If you are about to send in your car for servicing...

Hi,
please think and ask yourselves,
how the world would you know for sure, really sure,
that your money has been spent worthwhile?
That means, they checked and serviced your car properly given that you most likely also no idea how to check and no tools to do that.
Just a question I have that I like you to also be aware.
money should not drop from the sky for car servicing companys.
Its only us the consumers who can ensure we are not cheated. No service provider would do this for you. -
sometimes, i kinda pity those who cannot bring themselves to trust anyone..

Well, I hope u nebber need to kana one time ever.Originally posted by the Bear:sometimes, i kinda pity those who cannot bring themselves to trust anyone..
good luck!
the world, especially the bosses of car servicing, needs people like you.
btw, many 'business' people would certainly like to do business with you.
cheers! -
No big company's gonna have their reputation screwed just to save on the servicing and then having cars "serviced" by them breaking down, only to be discovered that they were not serviced properly. It's not something that they can cover their asses when something happens. And not as if they are servicing it for free. They make a profit out of the servicing.
Same analogy as in I sell you my services to write a software for you. Would I risk taking the money and not doing a proper job? It would be discovered sooner or later and my reputation will be gone forever.
Unless you go to some dubious workshops, then you probably have to beware. But of cos even in big companies there could be instances of not them not doing the job well but it would be either out of carelessness or a few particular black sheep workers. Nothing is perfect in this world. -

But you missed my other point. I am also talking about the employees . Of course all bosses want their business to continue. But how do they guarantee their employee really do the servicing?
fyi, a new car less than 3 years whether you service it or not, what is the diff?
hope you get my point.
To summarise, I am talking about process. How do workshops assure customers that servicing was done properly when no customer knows how to check and they have no tools to check? How do you know your car wheels got rotated? can you answer me?
A servicing guy can just sign on the paper indicating he had rotated the wheels. Can he not? you tell the me. -
Dun sign those 5 yr service package. Major servicing go back to AD, other than that and after warranty expire ,go outside w/s service, u can mark yr tyres with black mark , front only. I concern is the spark plug and air filter. If u don't like their service can compliant and bang table. Sometime they take u for a ride, best u go to yr own w/s to service and check for major parts and claim if under warranty.

well, u r absolutely right that most car owners do not know how to check that the stuff that they have been charged for has been done, and indeed, some things are nearly impossible to prove. So what is important is that u find a workshop that u can trust, or failing that, sit there at the workshop n watch them do it.
Of course, you can't do it at ADs, that's why there are so many horror stories.
