The other day I suddenly realised it was time to change my engine oil after I had done my banking at RHB Bandar Sri Damansara, I went to this shop behind RHB / Maybank called Boon Kea* with the Hi-Rev sponsored sign board. On the way back home, I realised something wrong with the car after the engine oil change (RM80. Afterwards realised very expensive for a re-cycled engine oil change, cheapo filter and labour). The car was not so powerful as before and saw some white smoke from the back from the car. I quickly went back to the shop but the shop insisted that they didn't do anything to my car apart from changing the engine oil. They pretended to check through the entire engine and said firmly that nothing wrong with the car and claimed that the car was a few years old already blah....blah...... It is normal to have white smoke otherwise I could send them the car for a few days in order to do the engine overhaul....blah ....blah.
I puzzled for a few days (also busy with work), I decided to send the car to another mechanic and only realised that the shop had removed a small hose (I think it was the oxygen intake hose) from the engine and thus the white smoke and lack of power. Later talking to my friend who stayed somewhere in Sri Damansara. He also kena once in a different way (water hose not tighten but the shop said radiator leaked and got to change a new one). He said this shop like to make you pay more. Even good parts also asked you to change this, change that and sell off your good parts to other car owners......BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

.....I'm pretty sure last time when I changed my air filter myself, I didn't remove any hose of any sort. Secondly, if I remember correctly, they didn't do anything to my air filter. Thirdly, that's why I gave them a second chance to inspect before I sent to another shop. Lastly, if you do go there, you can check on their stock of cheapo filters that they will use on your car.
