I have a Myvi 1.3M, just bought a few months ago, and thinking to do some stuff:

1. Engine due for servicing, need to change sparks as well. Got my owl oil and filter.

2. Radiator flushing, the tank how many time empty and refill, still rusty and brown. Where can get a workshop that just run water in the piping and engine block, flushing it until clean?

3. My OBD port not working, need diagnose. Engine light on/off.

3. Clutch is making noise.

4. Handbrake not power, sometimes roll back if park at very hilly place.

5. Subwoofer (installed by previous owner) suddey becomes weak.

6. Alignment. The last time I went there, after align my steering senget already.

Do recommend me some place for good service and reasonable pricing. Thank you.

Welcome another myvi owner... Enjoy the ride....
Almost all JB workshops can deal with your ride. Just avoid those workshops near ksl.
I send my myvi to Permas Jaya:s13:

You own a Myvi as well? Perhaps we can share some contacts on where to go... I tried going to Ros Merah, the Perodua SC, but its just a troublesome way going to agent... And a lot of parts they don't have, required to order first and come back later...

Thanks so much.

I’m looking at one now fully stock, wna send for STA inspection but dealer not so welcoming of the idea scared later wear and tear issues arise then I expect them to do.

I test drove the car in their carpark and all was ok, steering ok suspension ok. Only thing is engine when on the aircon at the start got some funny rattling sound which he said there was a metal stuck or sth and it’s settled.

He suggested me to take the car for a spin or get a trusted Mechanic to see the car before purchasing. Depre 5k.

Is it advisable for me to proceed still and if so, any trusted Mechanic you guys know of who can provide this service?

PS. I found the seat abit Too high for me even though I lowered to the max, should I change a new set of seats or anyway I can lower it further?

Thanks alot in advance guys.

Factors to consider
- individual preferences. I prefer stock and rather save the money on wear & tear
- inspection
- complications like compromising FC, comfort etc.

Not talking abt ralliart turbo and the rare MR, I think the dep for normal cs3 (renewed) should range from 5k to 6.5k depending on condition ba. Of course Sports version looks nicer.

No prob. I would prefer my mech than STA. Before I bought my cs3, brought to CH motor at ubi (Joseph) for checks. Note that his ws is not cheapest and be very packed but I trusted him. Everything ok but needed to change mountings and suspension could last for a year. Not all dealers would allow this arrangement.

Of course you can change the seats like BRIDE etc. Settle the wear and tear first before making the next move.

RM30 or RM35.... Can't rem which one.:s13::s13:

He carries Lucas oil too. If you are into Lucas oil. Cheaper than i get from carousel... 4L pack.
Myvi is not more than 4L.

BTW, prepare to wait as he and another assistance only.
Normal EO and filter change should be done less than 30mins if not busy. Then he will do test drive and do all the usual checks before hand over. Estimated up to 60mins in total.
His style is those critical parts/ safety parts and oil leakage, will text (with photo) you if you are not at workshop whether want to do/ repair or not.

Usually, i pass him the hand carry stuffs to him and head to Aeon... There are 3 tune shops nearby and the noise is too loud for me.... hahaha
