Headed to CC on Monday and had the following done for a Vios.
EO n filter change
Air filter change
Cabin filter change
ATF oil change
Labour for the above @ 50RM
Tyres BridgeStone EP300 185/60/15 @ 190RM each. Came with alignment.
Was told that valves needed to be changed @ 4 * 10RM for metal ones.

First time having the car serviced in Malaysia. Would not know if I had overpaid but it certainly would not be cheaper in Sg. Environment at CC was comfortable with Free WiFi to tap on.

Nearest mall would be Sutera followed by Paradigm for those who need to leave their vehicles there a bit longer.

Go for the "safety package" in any Hawk Tayar branch. It includes tyre rotation, balancing and alignment plus some basic checks (in case of any leak or spoilt part, it is up to you whether you want to change, no pressure) - for my B&B car it's RM 70 + 6% SST

https://www.hawktayar.com.my/products/safety-package

Usually I do this together with my oil change.

This car since I have taken over has always been on 300. Previously, it would make really loud screeching noise when turning in carparks with those smoother floorings and like urs would struggle to grip at times on those surfaces.

Never saw that as a big problem though and as what I was looking for is more on value for money, I went with it again. Also had the option of Michelin XM2 and Hancook at the same price. Continental would have cost 35RM more per piece.

Thankfully these new ones are faring way better and it is
kind of strange as the older ones had the above mentioned problems right from the beginning even when newer.

Perhaps they had some improvements made over time? or maybe different country of origin.
