At Toyota 3s they told me your car needs a break service which was driven only 20k at that time. They only cleaned the break pads using sand paper then applied grease on slider pin which were not jammed
After that on almost 30k on odo i got abnormal breaks
Then I went to 3s and the inner pad worn then the outer one and the slider pin got jammed badly and the bushes were also worn

I think they applied wrong grease and they did not fix it back properly.

[zubair_mengal]

Yeah they applied wrong grease the bushes got swelled
Then had to replace the bushes and break pads too early

Never get your car painted in the open. Always go to dealerships for paintworks.

any other better brand, locally available?

You can use "Genuine Coolant" by any of Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, etc.

Just ensure that the product is authentic, and 100% concentrated.

If you want best for bucks, then IMO, Clatex all the way!

ZIC Coolant also seems fine and reasonably priced, and just like the Aisin Coolant which you have mentioned above, this seems premixed in 50:50 ratio:

Still, I would always prefer Caltex over ZIC!

Local coolant brands, like Osaka, Guard, etc. may be sincerely avoided.

I hope, it helps. Thank you.

Just have your ride thoroughly washed from the underside from some good service station, when you have passed such roads.

Regarding wash frequency from the underside, it depends on you, your driving conditions of roads, and how much sewage, mud, dirt, etc. get stick from the below side.

[anon35615524]

I think dealership is not necessary for it.

Paint work can be have done from any good, reputed paint workshop or booth.

It may be just ensured that they do not paint in the Open, or on road, etc. otherwise dirt / dust particles can get entrapped in the paint.
