唔係講去service, 例如撞車要入body shop, 佢地有可能要拆水箱先可以整到一d野, 又或者撞爛左要換? 咁都會導致入錯coolant; 入番舊既coolant都見過, 不過佢個pan有幾乾淨就...umm....

好似spoonek4咁講, 有時候好depends, 有d body shop會視乎零件要等幾耐先決定幫唔幫你claim, 好似水箱咁如果佢冇漏水佢未必換? 因為真係有見過好多車之後有問題都係accident related; 當然, 唔係次次都係咁, 不過好似岩岩整完一架都係因為兩年前大撞過整得唔好既, 過得太耐ICBC已經唔理佢, 咁佢整就整左$2000架車叫行得走得, 不過絕對唔係一架keep得過既車囉?! 相反, 有d可能body shop整得貴, 不過整得好, 同樣大撞過不過咩問題都冇...算唔算係 "都要睇彩數喇"

好似我有個friend, 佢要求好高亦絕對唔係唔肯比錢, 不過就係比出面一間都好有口啤既shop攪到差少少就係差少少咁囉, 執一執已經唔同晒不過佢就好奇怪之前點解d人可以幫佢整成咁(佢唔係冇問過, 不過人地話"係咁架喇", 咁佢咪只好當"就係咁囉")

如果架車保養得好, 四十萬邊樹係問題? 只不過係好多人覺得架車舊左唔想比錢整?

應該係咁講, 渣新車既都話唔駛整, 架車舊左佢又邊會整?

好似我知道果d四十幾萬既, 真係有d保養得好到你會佩服佢既恆心! 好似我一個鬼佬朋友話我知, 佢買左架87年既二手車, 上手車主有齊所有既service record, 連幾時換過燈, 邊一粒; 補過邊條tire之類全部有, 好誇張....

some people are just very anal about their ride some people just choose not to give a d@mn sh!t...錫車同用車, 一睇就知

CP: $150/ hour labor you have to be talking about dealership, and maybe some really high end car's dealership (most japanese or european should be $100 to $130 range here, i know some higher end dealership will charge like $150 or more, but that's kinda far from the general public...

even a brand new car, I personally don't think it's necessary to take it back to the dealer for service, so for older car you can ask anyone at the dealership, u rarely see them there at all!

for $5k to $8k, one can choose a reliable honda / toyota etc and he can also choose a luxury exotic like bmw 850i, u just have to pay to play, that's all...冇咩問題喎...食得咸魚抵得渴, 有冇人叫你去買, 買得就預左, 唔會真係咁天真以為整都係差唔多呀?

warm車係一個習慣 (我唔講係好定係唔好喇, subjective丫嘛), -7都唔warm, thumbs up for you man!

Again...  maintenance cost in Canada is just high .. ~ $150/hr labour cost is just high ..

btw, speaking of labor rate, do u know why it's set so high? partially it's because of our tax system here, another reason is because selling new car ain't making much money, third is the overhead cost...

my friend's shop with around 10 staff (7 licensed bodyman + painter), needs over $100k a month to break even...they dun even have one apprentice, only the accountant and wash kid doesn't have license, not too sure about the assistant manager has license or not...i am sure quite a bit of ppl appreciate their work and is willing to pay their price (especially when icbc is paying for it)...but i am sure a lot of ppl would rather cheap price and where do all those boss save $? cut corners lor...

i know -7 is consider warm to you guys, i was in alberta for 2 years and i remember there was one winter with -46 (1995 winter?!)

but u have a lease car and i dun think you plan to keep it anyways, who cares? but i haven't driven some lease vehicle and it feels like POS after about 1.5 years or 25k or so...i wouldn't want to lease it for another 1 year or 2 or 3 lor...paying all those money monthly yet i am driving a POS...

actually a lot of car during cold start rpm will be about 1500rpm or so, u can hear engine more noisy and as long as u can wait over that period until rpm dropped under 1000, that's almost the min i would wait...

oil change every 3k is a little bit excessive for most ppl (i do mine every 3000km if no track day, with track day will be about 1500km, and all my family's and close friend's vehicle every 4k; the longest interval i have ever recommend on a lease bmw is 8k...

true, $120/hr plus taxes and levy etc, shop supplies, usually about $140 an hour already...gosh...lucky i dun have to pay that...
