Recently went for a 80k KMs inspection to Honda Avenue and got handed a PKR 35k bill for basic oil and filter changes and another estimate of 284k for suspensions service and work. I am unsure about going ahead with this for two reasons. The car went there in a better shape then it came back. Now it has a power steering leak. Apparently the mechanics experiment on cars and lack the expertise required. The second reason is that the value of the car does not increase by a approx 300k even if i spend this amount.
What will the experts here suggest.
The service cost is your running expenses that has let you travel all these 80k kms on this car. You can not ask the next buyer to pay for the kms you travelled on this car.
If it is high then it is the reason due to inflation and high profit margin of the dealer but definitely it is not to be considered to attribute in the cars value.
damn 284k just for suspension you sure that you went to Honda and not Shahnawaz
goto the consumer court and sue them,
I dont mind paying the money for maintenance but I expect to feel a difference in drive after a regular inspection/maintenance. Does 284k sound like a reasonable estimate for suspension work? Is there any suggested mechanic in ISB who has a good reputation?
did the dealership provide you with a parts list with price ?
What's your car model
Honda Civic Oriel Prosmatec 2007
I was provided with a list of parts/oils/filters for both the services done and the estimate for suspension. I am just not sure whether I should be spending such an amount on suspension, and where should I get a second opinion.
Bro do visit nazir autos in G-8, sarya chowk. His mechanics are skilled. They will do the same job in less than 50% of the quoted price n much better as u r saying that the car came back in a bad shape. Though they charge more labour cost bt provide parts themselves in a reasonsable price from saddar.He is a bit arrogant someetimes as all the mercs n bmws are parked there, but acc to him, best time to bring the car to him is monday morning.
2007 Civic had a problem with the power pump and pipe.Provide me the list which they recommend changing. You will get your quote here

Thanks. I guess I am late for that but I will do so next monday, do you have his contact no?
Went to Khair ul Wara Autos in G-10/3. PS fluid leak fixed, suspension fixed and other small things fixed. Bill was 30k. Work was satisfying.
Congrats. If the work is satisfying and reliable in terms of long-term durability then u got that bill right.

284000 for 2007 honda INTEGRA?? Hahaha....if u total ur car then this should be the total bill for all the repairings.
My suggestion to Honda owners, don't go to Honda Avenue and don't leave your car overnight. My car alloy rims also seem in worse condition, either they were replaced or handled very roughly.
