"Servicing at the dealership is stupid and unnecessary"

[Dizzy28]

^ DM PoS not too strict with the only staff policy in the back.

[gt4tified]

There is no problem I see with dealer maintained ... except if was me I would like to be present for anything being done on my vehicle

Do dealers allow this?

classic/diamond has a "only staff allowed in service bay" policy.

not sure how strict it is though.

I’m sure that is just to keep customers from wandering into the service bay by themselves, which can pose (in case any accident occurs) an OSH risk to the organization. But I am also fairly sure that if you speak with the service manager and ask for a guided visit, that there should be little to no objection (unless you look and dress like Sophia Vergara).

Well, bought my Lancer new in 2005..All in One package...so 3 years/75,000km warranty. Never had any problems with servicing..always went and sat down and waited and saw them changing/checking..etc.. when they finished the service...got a bill that i never paid (because of warranty), but still kept as my records.. Only time i ever had a problem was when i asked for dem to install the remote trunk lid open on the alarm, always got the run-around saying the alarm ppl not available that day...etc...
However, always got good treatment...and best part for me, i got free service up to 100,000km.. just because i was always pleasant with the ppl ( plus bringing cake for dem on a early saturday service helped in making the service ppl feel good. lol ) and that after the service, the manager will tell me "next service we go start to charge..doh worry". I kept all my bills for every service Was always glad i got good service from DM.

Question: I bought a Yaris at TTTL in May 2011. The door on the driver side not locking neither opening, I have to use the key to open and close it. The alarm person checked it and said its not the alarm its the company's problem. They said I have to make an appointment to get it fixed. The question is am I suppose to pay for this when its still under warranty?

[MadCrix]

the answer would depend on if you ekpt your service warrenty by them or ou stop servicing it by them. if u stopped u out of lock, if u still service by them u good to go


looking at you question, i assume u stop servicign by them

How does not changing your oil by them affect the door lock mechanism not working?

well for starters, had it been changed by them, they'd have gotten oil on everyhting, and billed for oil accordingly.

same happened to my car...before i took it in I decided to take off the upholstery and have a look......played up with the inside a bit and apparently it was just stuck....the lock that is......replaced upholstery and its workin now.....

maybe it was luck on my part but u could have a look at it yourself if u have the time.....

Fat chance; been trying to call for the service department for the past 2 days..
Either I have the wrong number; nor they making enough $$.

[kaylomilo]

Just came back from TTTL and the part was replaced. I dropped the car in at 8am they were finished by 10:16am. I went to collect it and I checked it out and its back to normal. Was about to ask them for the old part that they replaced but was pissed off when I saw they didn't but back a screw which was missing by the door handle. Went back inside to the service rep. They put back the screw after.

^ you cannot get the changed parts since they were changed at their cost under warranty

anyone has any reviews on who has better customer service between Masterserv and laughlin in South?

[pyung99]

aye pal. tanxs for finding dis thread for me. i hadda to prep for first service at classic.

nice thread. i was hoping someone with experience woulda make a lil guide for us n00bs on how to handle servicing the car at the firm and get value for money (some semblance of it)

[Stephon.]

What I do now is ask them to leave the replaced parts in the trunk of my vehicle.

[Mudboy]

Had to see it to believe it, the technician in the firm bent back the brake sensor on the disc pads so that it would not show up as being low........until it scored the rotor disc on the 2010 SUV.

Will never buy from the firm again.
