Tentang kereta rosak

Assalamualaikum...
Lama betul tak menaip.. Lama jugak tak berblog-walking.. Lama betul diri ini dilanda kesibukkan.. Ampun maaf dipinta buat tamu yg menyinggah tapi xde apa yg nak disajikan.. (special thank you to  Kak Real sbb singgah.., malu saya akak singgah dirumah yg kosong..) will try to update regularly from now on.. Time permitting and all.. InsyaAllah




Malam ni our nearly 3-year old car (his name is Simba) mogok.. Elok je nak start enjin nak balik umah, dia xmo start.. Ah sudah, sentap mende plak budak Simba nih.. Marah sebab kena jemur tengah panas dekat LCCT for 44hours ke? Marah sebab JJ tersagat hidung dia masa u-turn ke? Malam2 jemaat ni dik non oi, mana ada workshop bukak. JJ tried to godek2 tp sbg mekanik tak bertauliah apala yg dia boleh buat kan? So decided to ring AAM. Sukacita dimaklumkan, i dulu mmg member AAM tp dari 2011 tak renew membership sbb selalu lupa je n konon2 eksyen "nothing will ever happen to the car sbb we regularly send it in for service" plus, JJ is always there to push the car or something or kalau breakdown on plus, buleh je contact plus ronda tuh.. Tp disebabkan ke-eksyen-nan itu.., bila jadik cenggini dah menggelabah..

So bila AAM di call dan setelah diberitahu yg dulu i member, skrg tidak lagi dan slps dicheck status keahlian dan diceritakan apa masalah.. The guy on the other line said "sebab u member yang tak aktif, kita tak boleh tolong".. Amboi! Sombong ye.. So i asked if i can renew my membership right there and then, katanya "oo., boley tapi kami tabley buat apa2 jugak. U kena tunggu esok pagi office hours baru kami boley tolong.." WHAT? Dahtu, keta rosak malam ni bhai., camne kami nak balik nih?.. Bila diberitahu yg i think the problem is with the battery, he gave me another number to ring which happens to be their independent workshop/battery provider.. Adoyai.. Ada bukak lagi ke malam2 nin?? Camne nin??

Takpe pikir alternatip lain, teringat dulu our mechanic at our normal service centre once said that should we need anything we can give them a call anytime. So teponla mereka.. The thing is, we are in sungai petani n our mechanic is in aloq setaq.. Takdenya mereka nak mai all the way here just to change the battery.. So dum dam dum dam.. Our loqstaq mechanic called a kia technician in SP to come. Alhamdulillah... Dia mai check lebey kurang kompem bateri kong.. Padahal our last service in sept 2012, check bateri segala ok je.. Takdela pulak di advise suh tukar bateri segala masa tuh.. Anyway, dia jump start, dapatla kami balik ke rumah. Dahle simba ni satu2nya kenderaan yg kami ada. Nanti dah balik umah, esok pagi nak kuar carik bateri macam mana? Alhamdulillah budak ni janji nak mai umah esok pagi bawak bateri so dia bole pasang siap2.. Lega sangat rasanya.. Kalau tak, nak jalan kaki pi town carik bateri? Mungkin tidak....

Pengajaran malam ini:
1) Sila make sure membership AAM valid setiap masa. Kotla jadik apa2 kat mana2 takdela pening kepala nak figure out who can help..
2) Kalau pakai bateri maintanence-free, silalah tukar bateri anda setiap setahun setengah atau dua tahun sekali. Menurut kata mekanik yg dtg rescue kami, bateri kami ni mmg takde kasik sign nak kiok.., dia macam heart attack, bila kena attack terus kojol.. Adoyai...
3) Sentiasa save nombor telpon mekanik tempat anda biasa service keta dlm phone anda.. Kalau kecemasan tak menggagau nak carik phone number segala..
4) ALWAYS have a working torch light in the car, working as in complete with new batteries and works well
5) Kia technical services rock!! Service uols memang sangat bagus.. Thank you Shahriman of Kia Huat Technical Service Loqstaq.. Siap call lagi tanya keta dah ok ke belum.. Good customer service like this makes us travel all the way to loqstaq to service simba walaupun ada je pusat servis kia dkt SP nih..
Sekian.. Selamat malam.. :)

Update 1.30pm 8-2-13
Simba telah mendapat jantung (bateri) baru.. Kos RM440.. (380 for the so-called maintenance-free battery and 60 for coming over to the house to replace the battery.. pffttt)
