Yet again, its time for car service. The boot switch is not working, rear brake light is fused. RM 149.10 only, with my own engine oil @ 66.3km. They couldnt't fix my boot :(
Anyone can recommend a good service location besides Kah Bintang?

Overdue service...
Overdue service and blog post:
- more than 12k black oil and filter change
- been driving with one headlight only for like a month
- spark plug change
Eneos synth engline oil. Gonna try out Osram's Nightbreaker headlights, only coz the other brands don't have H7 size in stock. Same for the Iridium plugs. This service is gonna cost a bomb :(
Hmm... Should I change the wipers? And why does my left headlight always blow? Started with china made hid, piaa and now the philips crystal vision... Hmm...

Car service @ Hyundai Jln. Ipoh (Updated)
Dropped car off at 11:50pm at the Svc. Center after explaining to them:
- use own engine oil
- steering alignment check (GDS)
- rotate tyres, balancing & alignment
- petrol smell in cabin after refueling
- center console creaking
- don't change air filter
They have a cafeteria which serves Chinese food (not sure if its halal). Noticed that their lunch time is at 12-1pm, but there is another service shift from 1-2pm that's working on my car.
I changed the coolant and standard NGK spark plugs. Notice the coolant is for Honda cars!
When the car was lifted up, I noticed both my front tyres were "eaten" on the inside VERY badly. More about this in the next post.
Spotted some Incus stuff in the workshop area:
Spotted a black X20 here for service too. Mr. Shahril from Seremban, drove all the way to HQ to fix his trunk release button. Both the cabin button and remote cannot release the trunk. He's been using the spare key to open the trunk since he bought the car (1 year and 7 months ago). The service center in Seremban didn't know how to fix it, so he came all the way to Jln. Ipoh HQ. However, he left without getting it fixed, as HQ people also doesn't know what's wrong. If I were him, I'ld be FURIOUS!
He's got nice 17" rims on his ride:
At the service center, spotted 2 other X20s:
1. At the car park, most probably one of the staff working there:
2. I saw this black X20 when I was leaving, so I didn't manage to meet the Chinese driver:
On an unrelated note, I spotted a silver X20 at IKEA at night:
- use own engine oil
- steering alignment check (GDS)
- rotate tyres, balancing & alignment
- petrol smell in cabin after refueling
- center console creaking
- don't change air filter

2nd Service at Kah Bintang 223 Branch
Time for my 2nd service. This time, I brought my own Fully Synth Eneos oil. Wifey sent the car to the workshop early this morning while I was still snoozing due to some early work that came around.
Had mentioned about 3 things:
- Use the Eneos oil
- Check the petrol smell
- The steering wheel is pulling to the left
Well, the steering wheel is still pulling to the left. I don't know if the petrol smell will still be there (another 250km to go b4 my next refuel). But I'm sure they used the Eneos oil. Total bill came up to RM 13.00 for the oil filter and a (free) car wash. However, today's service took longer than usual, and my car was parked idle for the longest time. I also had to wait till after lunch where the service guy at the counter could print out my receipt.
The boss from Boon Siew came over to visit the 223 branch around 1.30pm. All the sales guys were in their smartest outfits. A korean big shot was supposed to appear, but no show. Sam brought the visitors for a tour around the branch.
How's the car after the service? I was hoping for a better fuel consumption and a smoother ride, but seems the same only. Looks like I'll need to reset the ECU! YEAH!

Summary of 1k Service
Finally back home. The 1k service took 2 hours which included:
- Engine oil (Castrol Semi) & filter (15% discount for the filter)
- Alignment (F.O.C)
- Headrest replacement (F.O.C)
- Car wash (F.O.C)
- Short discussion on aircond
Total cost = RM 104.33
Satisfied with service provided.
However, regarding the air-con air circulation when set to auto, I asked my SA who checked with the service guys. They were not aware of this till this morning. Then they asked their superior / manager, who took a look and then said... "Auto maaaaah".
"What?"
Looks like I'll have to escalate this higher... Stay TUNED!

Grr...
Found another scratch on the X20. The first was on the left side mirror. The second, on the front left fender. Tiny, but noticeable.
Theres some air bubbles in the front passenger window. Looks like another trip back to V-Cool.
The rear undercarriage, right above the tires are quite funny. There is sound proofing done above the left tire, but only half done for the right tire! Tried knocking the undercarriage, and the difference is:
1. Left - Thud, Thud
2. Right - Klank, Klank
SA advised to do anti-rust in Tmn. Mayang to help the undercarriage sound proofing.
Btw, if you send ur car for service, please tell the service center whether u want car wash or not.

Elantra 1k Service
9.00am Saturday morning. Kah Bintang Jalan 223.
Its quite a large service center with both new cars and cars waiting to be serviced. There was a old Honda CRV there for service as well. Apparently this service center was a Honda service center before.
They say first impressions leave a lasting effect. My first impression of the service center was not to good. However the staff there were much better than my previous Perodua service center. Although their infrastructure is not as modern, they're service is excellant.
Both the sales manager and SA came over to say "hi" and chat. The guys working on the car knew what they were doing, and were quite friendly. Pics after service is done.
Note: If you have alignment problems, don't wait till 1k service to fix it. Do it now. You may not get free alignment service AFTER 1k. Also don't change your rims before doing the alignment.

Kah Bintang Jalan 223
I dealt with a sales guy called Eric. He's been with Hyundai for only 6 months, but has been in this line for many years now. I've also spoken to the Manager, Sam.
I'm a satisfied customer. Eric ensured all the processes went through without me having to worry about anything. A true mark of customer service. Sam has a wealth of information on Hyundai cars and services. I can't disclose more, to protect my own privacy, but can vouch for his good service.
Please contact him if you want to purchase a Hyundai Accent, Elantra or Sonata:

Sales Adviser
You can mention my name (Jason). But even if you don't, thats fine.
