a newbie to the kia forum. N a new driver. Just gotten d car an i found out theres replacement needed to do.
1. Drive shaft 2. power steering tube or sth. 3. Suspension mounting. If i m Not wrong.
4. Timing belt. M sure for an 07 car the mileage of 65k is too gd to be true. To be save i just wanna chge as m nt sure whether mine is still ok or due for chge.
The normal servicing i have done. Any idea hw much it cost to chge the above? What and where to buy the parts? Just wanna a save ride. Any input or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

if i not wrong around 1000rm can fix your 1-3 easily plus timing belt maybe around 1.3-4k rm shld be enough. I do my changes in JB century auto. Going in later today will help you get a quote. If you want i can lead you in to the workshop. Oh and it depends if your driveshaft need servicing or replacement.

strongly suggest you get a second opinion from either harmony motors or synergy auto.

Based on what you said I got the quote of 1700rm or less. Will need to see the condition of your parts for the price. Haha and of course like what fmx says you can always get more second opinion before you decide on where to service your car. Just introducing the workshop i frequent.

If you are interested in JB workshops Century Auto near new york hotel is pretty good at this. Brought couple of friends there to do stuff and their air cons. Quite a good feedback so far.

If for aircon servicing it's 180rm for the air con servicing+ aircon filter. Quite fast if there is no other customer and if you are not with me . . . The boss tend to keep me there longer. Normal required timing is 1hr.
When you are there ask for Yiow and can tell him blue color cerato intro one. He should know.
