Mercedes Services Center HSS VS C&C

Hobbs — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 06:31:07 +0800

Hi all Shifu,

I just bought a new c300 under HapSeng star, and they provided 4 free services under Mercedes Benz.

And I did my first free services under HSS, but realized didn't satisfied with the services.

So plan to send for second free services to C&C, since the free service voucher under Mercedes Benz.

But my question is:-
1) since I bought under HSS, and I send and claim the second free services with C&C...will this causing any trouble in the future?

2) Even under HSS, but found out Certain of services...HSS Jalan Ipoh might provide better than HSS Kinrara.

Even sometimes C&C PJ might better than HSS Jalan Ipoh...(for an example for certain issues claims )

With 4 times free voucher, and send and claim under different branches of SC....will this causing me any trouble in the future?

Or any experts here can give me some advice 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you.

Pre-order, Recon or used car

Hobbs — Fri, 05 Jul 2019 01:00:43 +0800

Hi there,

I always wanted to buy a good car (Benz) which can traveling either city and highway (long-distance). For example, most of the new D-segment car which is exceeding 100k, but when come to second hand car the price will drop 40% or more depends on years.

Moreover it's plus point when you buy a second hand car still have warranty. For example when you buy a bwm 2 years used car, still remain 3 years manufacture warranty. Perhaps it will more expensive compared to some car without warranty

Some people can't afford a new car is at the end they choose to buy a used car or other brand of new car For example only have bugdet 170K either choose used below 2017 C180/C 200 some of the people rather choose a Honda Civic(yes benz maintenance will be more expensive).

What to concern to pre-order car?
-rebate? Haha
-better than recon?
-still under warranty

What to concern to buy a second hand car?
-Spare cash to repair wear and tears?
-history of service in SC?
-find a someone professional workshop to check the car?
-Higher interest rate

What to concern to buy a recon card?
-better to choose recon car from Japan compare to UK?
-check with professional workshop? (most of the recon car will reset the miles/meter)
-from ap dealership they provide 1 years warranty? (expert can give me some advice? What part they cover? Or if your car have any problem it's very hard to claim the warranty?)
-low interest rate same as new car

Personally think new a new car ain't worth (don't flame me just my mindset)

Currently eyeing some pre-order or recon german car (Benz C Class) Hope some sifu can give me some useful tips

Thank you.
