Sharing experience...
After so long owning a Proton, servicing is of non-issue.
Anywhere also can do, because any workshop, Ali, Ah Chong & Muthu can do it.
But, for a Hyundai brand, I'm a bit sceptical about other workshop besides Sime Hyundai or Kah Bintang Service center.
This arises base on my experience a few years back, when Sportage was launch, a friend of mine came to visit my office asking for recommendation to repair his air-con.
Since in-front of my office, there were a few workshops, I just pointed out one of them.
He spend about RM1k repairing (lots of parts change), but ended out, the 'digital' display air-con unit cease to function.
He then went back to KIA (no NAZA Kia exist at that time), Jln. Segambut, to get it rectified, and had to spend more money for it.
The moral of the story is, in Malaya a.k.a BolehLand, anybody with minimal certificate, experience and capital can open a Workshop.
They then employ other workshop workers with a bit higher salary to work for them.
As new car models roll-out, these so called workshop lack training unlike from the authorized workshop that sent their staff for training when new models pop-up.
My neighbour got 20 years experience in repairing Volvo cars, but he said the S40 model onwards got too much electronic sensors, that he have got no knowledge on how to trouble-shoot them.
Since servicing at authorized workshop is a bit expensive, bare in mind that there are a lot of fake parts, lubricant, con-workshops out there.
By saying that, what is your choice?
