Proton Cons People!



It has been 1 1/2 years since I have updated my blog. I have decided to break the silence today because I am dead bored at work. Yes! Yes! I have finally finished studying and I don't intend to continue at this moment especially not in UNITEN. 7 years is way too long to be there! Its been a good one year so far at work. Learning a lot and making a new circle of friends.


So being a fresh grad, I had not much of choice but to choose our local car manufacturer. I am not complaining about my car as it has served me well the past 2 years...but I don't think I would ever want to get a proton again because they have such poor service. The warranty ended recently and decided to take it to a "kedai bawah pokok" which is how my collegues address it as. When I got there, it was to my horror that the transmission oil which was changed during my last service had a high carbon build-up. The mechanic asked me whether I was sure it was changed and me being the blur me...i said of course la last service tukar. Then he asked me whether i saw them changing it...and i was like...err....saya letak kereta kat service centre lepas habis service, pergi ambil balik. Then he went on saying, do you know at some proton service centre, the bill you for the oil but they don't change it. I was shocked!! Well, I guess at any service centre, be it proton or "kedai bawah pokok"..the moment they see a gal walking into the shop...they will con us into changing everything.


So the moral of the story is
1) not to buy a proton

2) try not to be blur when going to a mechanic shop :)
