Any recommendations where in the North to carry an Altis (20,000km) for servicing e.g. oil change etc.? Its hard to find auto shops that do clean good business nowadays, everybody tryin to rip you off.

at 20K u dont need any major servicing

just a simple oil change and MAYBE an air filter change.

paying an exhorbitant amount of money for " professional" oil and filter change is not necessary at all

any decent person can do that for u for less than $100 labour cost. just buy good oil and filters.
