Spend RM243.40 on my car battery

This morning when I start the car engine, it's not working. My dear opened the car bonnet to check. I called the Tayar Shop in the morning it was round 8.45am. They are opened in the morning and asked me to wait around 15 minutes as they will send someone over to change the car battery.

It is RM230 for the Myvi Century car battery. Price after inclusive of GST is RM243.40. This month I spend quite a lot money on my car. Just last week I have my car serviced and it cost nearly RM500. I was told that I need to change the car's 4 tayar because they are over due 2 years. Do you know that we are supposed to change car tyre every 3 years? I don't know that, so means that my car's tyres are 5 years old. It would be about RM800 more or less depend type of tyre to change.

I haven't change the tyres, I am still looking if there's any good deal around.

RM7.40 repair punctured tyre wheel

Yesterday morning I drove to nearest car's wheel repair shop to repair my car. Just half an hour of waiting and my car's tyre wheel is repaired. RM7.40 plus GST, I chosen to go SS18 the Lim Tayar Subang Jaya. The fees of car repair is stated on their glass door too. They have a paper notice with their price cost. If my car's wheel the hole is big, the cost will be more around RM27 to repair and patch the hole.

I am glad my car's wheel's rim still in good condition, my friend to me that it could cause serious damage if I continue driving a puncture wheel. Not just that I am sure safety's first for everyone on the road as well, you never know if anything going to happen is it better to get it repair. I was afraid too if my car's wheel gonna explode half way of driving. That's why I drive slow to go home, it was at night almost 10pm and there's no car tyre shop that open at that time.

I parked my car in the mall that time was CP5 higher level, I know there's a Citicars in the mall but it's at basement of the mall. Funny thing, I only recall that there is Citicars service in the mall after I reached home. Few months back, happened to my dear's car that he can't start his car engine in the Sunway Pyramid's mall. His car was parked not far from Citicars, he got his car change battery at the Citicars there. Another time, his friend's car too need to change car's battery in Empire Shopping Gallery.

Just sharing some info with you, so always check your car. Remember Safety's first.
