Car Maintenance

We went for our first car servicing on Sat (15 Mar 08) at Kah Motor (Leng Kee). Reached at 9am and was surprised that others were much more early than us. Registered for servicing and was served by a sales rep for servicing. The first thing he did was to inspect the external body for any damage and proceed to cover the driver's seat with a cover (prevent any damage to the seat when they drive it for servicing).



The whole servicing took around 6 hours to complete, from 9 plus to 2 plus in the afternoon. How did we utilise the 6 hours... We went for breakfast (minced pork noodles and fishball soup) at Brickland Food Centre (behind Ikea) and later I suggested that we go to Ikea for a 2nd breakfast (french toast with sauage plus Earl Grey tea). Walk around IKea and bought a few items. As we were paying for our purchase at the cashier, I saw one of my Poly friends (one year my junior in my orientation group). She's now an Assistant Manager at Ikea and she's in-charged of the customer service at the cashier.



As we had a few more hours to spend, we went to Anchor Point for shopping. Times Bookstore was having a storewide sale and we bought 2 books, a small puppy softtoy (loks like coco) and sign up for a 2-year membership. With the membership, we were entitled for an extra 5% discount on top on the current 20% discount.



With 2 books in-hand, a photography book for me and a book on handling dog for Ling, we ordered tea and eggs (for ling)... enjoyed the air-con and music while we read... in between, went to the shops to browse around... Ling said there was a shop selling Hello Kitty car accessories... and after our drinks she brought me there for a look, bought a seat belt cushion for Ling so that the seat belt rests comfortably on her.



What do we do now... went to Quenesway Shopping Centre for a walk... usually we only shop in the 1st floor where all the shoe shops are, so we decided to window shop at the 2nd and 3rd floor. Was getting bored when i receievd a call from the sales rep that our Jazz is ready.



We hurried down to Kah Motor in the blistering afteroon sun to enter the cooling lobby of Kah Motor. Total damage was $400 plus... why so ex... 100 plus for servicing, 40 for hydrogen gas for the tires, and 300 for Kah Motor body protection. Was happy that the car was washed before returning to us. Later we realised (when completing the feedback form) that car cleaniness after servicing is a must at Kah Motor.



16 Mar 2008, we also did our part in keeping the interior clean... we had dog fur to clear after Snowy's joy ride. Didn't wash the car as Kah Motor took care of that yesterday. We vacuum the interior and wipe the car seats. Almost forgot, Kah Motor charged $1plus to top up the wiper reservoir... Took 2 photos with my Nokia N82 to share.

looking good even with all doors open...
