Recently, during my service, Federal Auto wanted RM300 to change my wipers. On the contrary, I went to Jalan Ipoh to source the original wiper blade for my 2005 S40, only RM150.

I must blame the dealer and Volvo Malaysia for stupid parts strategy. This has caused a fair bit of dent on the brand in Malaysia due to the perception of expensive car parts! Volvo Malaysia and their dealers really need a 'wake up' call! angry.gif

Anyone from Kuching knows where the heck is their showroom in Kuching? Saw a few Volvos with local plate number but not sure where they got the car from. Tried to enquire via e-mail but no reply, instead they sent me season greetings and a happy new year wish. The 'professionalism' that they are showing doesn't do justice to their product. I hope someone from Volvo read this.

toffee,

mind to share where did u buy your wiper from? original volvo?

actually not only volvo is practising this, BM and Merze also charging their parts at sky high price if u go directly to their workshop.

been told by a friend, changing front brake pad for the Honda City at honda workshop costs $300 plus, dun u think it's overpriced too ?

All the authorised Volvo showroom/SC at East Malaysia had been closed down many years ago....
