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.

tune up

Full syntec yea.. but be mind full of the milage u running the oil eh..

doh get wax with dem fellas who say ah oil cud run all kinda 10K.. spend ah lil money and change yuh oil often.. trust me.. the engine will last longer.. tried, tested and PROVEN here

i opened my SiR civic engine at 236,000 km !! just to change out all d seals and the engine was almost like new on d inside.. i change oil every 4000km, using simple castrol 20W50 GTX .
