I haven't had much luck finding one in Johor Bahru even after searching through Malaysia's local NAZA and KIA forums.
Does anyone know the name and exact of this KIA authorized workshop located in Jalan Ros Merah?
I'm looking to perform my 90k servicing in Johor Bahru. Any recommendation of other Johor Bahru workshops will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

wan explore our rio bros frequent jb workshop? at taman sentosa area.. Where's the JB Workshop? If go service there, will the warranty be void? I know that the servicing at C&C is very ex... that's why some of us will 'venture' to JB to do our servicing, at least the warranty is covered for the 3 years.... But if the workshop can do it with Kia oil filter and stuff... maybe still feasible...

warranty void as long as u dun go to any of the CNC in singapore. msia got 1 CNC authorised workshop..but tink sg will void u too.
shop difficult to describe.. maybe bro mindbox can help.. soon fong motors..near to the bakuteh shop =D but warranty or such..er... confirm void..but no diff to me.. since 50K nvr go there le.. till now minor fault n such. long time save more than needing to keep warranty..now already way off warranty period =X

Bro Mindbox... what engine oil did you use? Kia Oil filter also you BYO? Where to buy? I want to buy a few and keep stock.. lol... I am most certainly going there for servicing... so cheap, I can do every 5000km... lol... Bro z3n1th... Lol.. cos' I thought only Sg's extension is 2 digits while our Malaysian counterparts were not so 'updated'.. I was comparing with the TRC namecard.. hehehehe... Nope.. not much luck with people giving ways especially during critical emergencies... some even slowed down and purposely act blur...

Hi All Bro, Regarding Warranty, like to share something, for you to enjoy the benefits of warranty and do what you want... Can't guarantee though.. Rightfully, CnC will void warranty if you don't service with them, as they cannot verify the quality of works outside of them. Fair enough... Eg. wille refilling oil, Mr ah beng usus oil funnel that dropped on sand without wiping it will have sands in your lubricating oil, how to verify.. they can even reason you for wiper melfunctioning due to suspension springs change and due to vibration from that, which may or may not be related. Anyway, here is the trick.. Since after the first 3 oil change I never go CnC for regular servicing... but I still manage to change a new engien, (yes the whole engine) after one year, and aircon compressor just 1 week before warranty expires, all under warranty. Of course the cause was really due to mfg defect. I went there, do the related milage service package A, B or C, etc, and together do the things covered under warranty. Ha ha.. So, dun worry so much about warranty. The service guys will make it covered, they are nice guys... But whatever you do, do good and regular servicing and keep all receipts. Its your car afterall.

Meaning you go to your own workshop to do servicing, then every 100000 go CnC for mileage service package? I intend to use my own workshop for the upcoming 10000km servicing for its quality and value for money... anyway, they use OEM oil filter. only different oil.. intent for synthetic oil instead... donno why CnC still recommended mineral oil for the upcoming servicing....
