Dear All
Would like to check with those have done the 40K KM service, any extra / special checks need to be conducted?
As 40K KM is very close to the expiration of warranty, I presume there shall be some extra checking (besides the normal 20 points checking during normal services) to ensure our car is in order.
Thanks and Regards iium06

Dear All
Done 40K service in KCS. As a non-technical man, I am generally satisfied with the service performed by the service technician, Mr Raj. His service is considered above-average and he is patient in handling my questions. The major service items stated as follows:
1) Automatic Transmission Fruid changed (NOTE: the service check list stated 16 lit, BUT based on my observation, the pump machine indicated only 14-15lit fresh fluids pumped into my car); (Brand: SP3. It seems we have no choice as they claim that all korean cars are using this SP3 and it is preloaded in their machine) 2) Engine Oil 4+1 lit changed (Brand: Caltex. IF u dont specify, they will give u Korean brand called ZIC) 3) Brake Fluid changed; 4) Coolant changed; 5) Electronic Diagnosis. 6) Other standard checks (but based on my observation, the standard checks are not really thorough as they spend majority of the time to replace various type of fluids).
It takes about two hours to complete and the bill was approx. RM799........... very expensive lah!!!!! AND if u look further, the 60K service is even much more expensive, it costs nearly RM2K (mainly due to timing belt change)......... wa sai :-(

I've done my 30K service which cost me RM370 ( including labour at RM65)... basic change of engine oil, changing of air filter and spark plugs.... I've checked on my next 40K service which is a major ATF flushing, engine oil change, brake oil change as well as coolant flushing... all together quoted at RM800 by NSS. I did called Kia Metro to check on the 40K service which they quote at RM450..... which I did specifically ask if that involves ATF flushing.... but they said that only ATF oil change... hmmmmmm doesn't make sense.... meaning to say that no ATF flushing at all at 40K... Anyway.. did also ask Kia Metro timing belt change.... it will cost RM740 including labour....which is cheap..... wonder whether this Kia Metro is an authorized service centre by Naza Kia..?
