Hi All, I own a Micro Trend and experienced loads of problems with that. It just reached 30,000 Km mileage and , having heard an abnormal hum , i took it to the company and they said that wheel bearings need to be replaced. As i spoke to some of my friends knowledgeable about autos said that at least a car should do 100,000 Km before wheel bearings be replaced under normal conditions. Also, all of a sudden temperature level indicated in the high range occasionally and when i took the vehicle to them , they said that engine gasket is gone and need to be replaced. They said also the cost would be between 50-70,000 LKR. I have given the vehicle about one month before and they keep the vehicle saying various excuses. Now they are singing a different tune saying that there is a miss while driving and still problem is being diagnosed. Since, only these people have spare parts, we have to just listen to whatever the lies that they tell and wait. I have even complained to their service manager and they pass the buck to service advisor and do not attend to customer request while delaying the job further. I really appreciate if any of you can help me with your expertise to understand if there is something fishy going on or if this case is genuine. As i understand, i dont think that replacement of engine gasket takes a month to do. Since, we cannot even see the vehicle with some third party, we have to believe what they say. Many thanks in advance P.S: Also, could you please let me know if there is any place to buy spares from any other place
