Best Honda Maintenance Place In Kandy?

[Ek3 Ferio]

Hi Mates,

I bought a EK3 a few weeks ago. I think it is better to have a complete check of mechanical and electrical aspects and do the maintenance if necessary.

Which is the best place to do that in Kandy as you suggested. Hope there are kandy Honda lovers in autolanka as well. Please share your experiences of such places in kandy with all of us.

And it will be really appreciated if you talk about the cost aspect as well.

Thanks in advanced.

Only known place for Honda specific repairs in Kandy is Willies who is the authorized guy for stafford. I take my EK3 to Mag city only for service/wash. Other requirements I visit to willies.

Thanks mate for sharing your experiences. How will be the cost factor compare to other places. Most of the people say maintenances the vehicle at Agent is bit expensive. As Willis is authorized service dealer of Stafford motors, will the maintenances be so expensive?

Yes little expensive when it comes to parts. Do not know about the labour cost in comparison. But I think labour cost is fairly ok.

He has genuine parts through Agents so charge for the parts as same as the agents if I am not mistaken. However you can buy stuff from out side and get the repair done.

For example the genuine air filter was aroun 4K during my last tuneup. Same filters is available around 2K in out side.

ah, I thought that the labor chargers would be expensive and the part cost would be same as out side if we use the genuine parts. Is the air filter which we can buy out side around 2k same as the one getting from Willis or whats the difference?

Remember this.

Cheap things no good, good things no cheap.

Keep it as a general guideline. And next time, don't ask what is the "Best" place. Its obvious you aren't gonna go there. Do everyone a favor, start asking whats a reasonably priced good place.

If you want the sun and the moon, be prepared to pay for it. If you don't want to pay for it, don't waste time asking.

As far as I feel, word Best has the meaning as you said. Best means reasonalbe in price and good in quality and neatness. I use word Best for such things.

Things very high in price are not the Best always. In srilanka nothing Best in price.

I thought to get some ideas of experinced guys around in Kandy and decide where to go according to my conditions. Hope there is nothing wrong with it.

And I dont need to get sun or the moon as Im not in a mind to get alwasy the most expensive things. Taking time to find the what I'm looking for will be worth just paying blinding thinking that the most expensive thing is always BEST.

I didn't say the most expensive thing is the best. I said the best thing is expensive. Not MOST expensive. Expensive. Pay attention.

And we already had this conversation about people using words saying "it means this to me". Its fine if your talking to yourself. If you want others to understand what you want, you use the standard definition, not what it means to you.

Like I said, what you need to do is this.

Hm,

For me this is bit harsh for a moderator.

Yes, some people who have zero knowledge about value, quality and politeness thinks that only Expensive (Most removed) things are the Best. They just go for Expensive ones without looking around. Such people know nothing about values. They only care about money. If I say directly such people have no idea of how to behave and talk politely.

Too damn bad.

Yeah, I'm sure you do too, until a woman sends you scampering.

If you have such knowledge of value and quality, why are you asking questions about where to find it? Seems like you have zero knowledge about value and quality here.

And duh dude, the best things are expensive. Obviously, YOU have no idea of the finer things if you think the best things are to be had for cheap. There maybe things money can't buy, but when you have to buy, the BEST is expensive. Maybe not the most expensive, but expensive. This is an automotive forum. Take cars. The best cars are expensive. Try it with anything in life. The best of anything is expensive.

And are the one who has no idea how to behave. You have no idea how to say things directly, coz you are still going "some people" and "such people". Thats not direct. You seem to lack the guts to be direct. You have no idea how to ask the correct question to get the correct answer and expect people to read your mind. And you don't seem to be able to accept it when you are corrected. I'd say your the one who is lacking in social skills, you have no idea how to interact with people.

I, on the other hand, am very direct. Your wasting my time.

I always found them a bit on the expensive side, but good work, but also it's always packed full house, so yeah there are someother places... Besides a civic is not an exotic car with a complicated system, so do normal stuff at your normal garage and if you have something serious to do, goto some Honda specific place like the one mentioned here...

I got heard from a lot of people, AutoLanka forum is not a friendly place to get the things know. They told that idiot moderators (exactly like you) are here and they have no idea of polietness. You proved it again. And keep it up.

This is not only the forum I'm in, I have never experinced such replies in any forum.

Thanks mate for the information. I also feel the same. Better to find out some other place for repairs.

ah, u men moderators are driving the traffic away from the site??

Man thats bad.

Dear friend, If you happen to replace spares better you go for originals from the agent or Teck motors at Panchikawatte because those last much more than the duplicates and reliable. I have found some spares are cheaper at the agent than the other place but some are not.

If you could find a mechanic who associates with Honda is always better because they know each and every bolt and nuts and use correct tools to fix and remove.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#Moderator

Moderator

The moderators (short singular form: "mod") are users (or employees) of the forum who are granted access to the posts and threads of all members for the purpose of moderating discussion (similar to arbitration) and also keeping the forum clean (neutralizing spam and spambots etc.).[19] Because they have access to all posts and threads in their area of responsibility, it is common for a friend of the site owner to be promoted to moderator for such a task. Moderators also answer users' concerns about the forum, general questions, as well as respond to specific complaints. They also can do anything to lend a helping hand to a user in need.[20] Moderators themselves may have ranks: some may be given mod privileges over only a particular topic or section, while others (called 'global' or 'super') may be allowed access anywhere. Common privileges of moderators include: deleting, merging, moving, and splitting of posts and threads, locking, renaming, stickying of threads, banning, suspending, unsuspending, unbanning, warning the members, or adding, editing, removing the polls of threads.[21] 'Junior Modding' or 'Backseat Modding' can refer negatively to the behavior of ordinary users who take a moderator-like tone in criticizing other members.

Essentially, it is the duty of the moderator to manage the day-to-day affairs of a forum or board as it applies to the stream of user contributions and interactions. The relative effectiveness of this user management directly impacts the quality of a forum in general, its appeal, and its usefulness as a community of interrelated users.

Sorry guys I'm having some leisure time today

This is not only the forum I'm in, I have never experinced such replies in any forum.

Then why don't you go and ask your "lot of people" for help? I have a helluva lot of juvenile delinquent members to keep an eye on (exactly like you) and I don't sit around babysitting them. And personally, I don't care what your experiences elsewhere has been.

You asked a question. You GOT the correct answer. Then you decide thats not what you need, COZ YOU ASKED THE WRONG QUESTION but something else. I pointed out that YOU CAN STOP WASTING PEOPLES TIME BY ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTION in the first place. Within the job description.

Who's the idiot here? Ever think it might be the one who can't even figure out what he needs to know in the first place?

And you think the way to go is to criticize the moderation? Keep that up, my patience in dealing with insults doesn't last forever.

'Junior Modding' or 'Backseat Modding' can refer negatively to the behavior of ordinary users who take a moderator-like tone in criticizing other members.

Sounds a lot like a you and the can't stand criticism cry baby who doesn't know how to ask questions without wasting people's time up there.

Which part says I have to act like a nursery teacher here?

I mean, jeez. Man up. I'm not gonna sit here, hold your hand and say, "aney, now listen and be a good boy and behave".

the stuff that agent sells and the stuff @ tek motors and any outsider sells are obviousley belong to two differnt qualtity parameters. may be at least for things like air filter, fuel filter etc.. i had to change my air filter some time ago and i went for the cheaper one and i replaced it week ago just after 10,000 km. i think the genuine air filter lasts much more longer than this. its like "garbage in garbage out"

always try to for the genuine replacement parts as they last long. theres no two words about it.

Found this thread on the FIRST HIT

And found out all you needed to know. But Noooo, your the brilliant brainiac who assumed no one else would have ever before thought to raise a question like this on autolanka. Coz your so special.

Just like Harry and Lloyd.

I don't know about other places but Tech motors and agent are having more or less same stuff in most cases. As an example ,un officially I have been informed that when agent is running short of shock absorbers they borrow those from tech motors. Thisa has happened may be in one instance but it has happened for sure.

This is just for your information pl.

Even tech motors carry two different types of spares. genuine & OEM.
