Nice car, I like it. but I have to leave Thai

Location is Phuket Kathu

Hello. I have two passports. Can I go to Lao and get two Thai visa? I want to use one when I come back to Thai. Another one, after three months, when I go and back to Myanmar. Is it possible and is it legal? Thank you!

Is 15000 normal price for change piston?

15000 per piston is a bit on the high side. What has been diagnosed as the problem ?

As far as I understand, the cover of piston is broken

Is 15000 normal price for change piston?

It seems would be better without Toyota Center. Are there other shops?

Buy a set of spark plugs and change them yourself, if you can't or don't want to then ask any independent garage / service center to put them in.

I saw some wrong behavior before to check my engine and I changed spark plug, engine oil, gearbox oil. Then I checked engine and get to know about the problem. So it is done two weeks ago.

I was in Toyota Center, they dont know what is the problem with engine. But if they will analyze more detail then they will fix. It can take about one month and cast about 50000 (depend to problem). So, Id like to get more clear service.

Please, recommend me the shop for repair my Toyota vios (engine) 2009 year. How is it better and chipper then Toyota Center?

Here's my take on what the problem may be which is a bit more than the Phuket Toyota dealer could provide plug lead or coil pack for that cylinder or even just the spark plug , drive it back to Pattaya and get it fixed staying well clear of Toyota dealers;) or just buy a new car:w00t:

Maybe it is better to try repairing my engine fast at Phuketbut not in Toyota center? Could someone recommend a good shop for repair toyoa vios engine at Phuket?

- Try to go - might stop - insurance should pay for tow truck

Im not sure, not first class insurance. That is only 3+ class insurance.

- Repair - fly back home - pick up the car later

They will count extra money for parking?

- Sell the car - buy a new one (my choice)

I will think about it. Could someone recommend the shop at Phuket for sell my car?

It seems nothing bad, I drive many time with this problem. And it seems is easy for engine to drive fast. But in second side, I would not like my engine shutdown

Hello! Now I am at Phuket and I have some problem with my vios. When I start driving and stop after a few minutes then the engine shaking my car. But latter, after maybe five minutes everything is ok. I was in Toyota center and they told the engine has a problem in one cylinder. They don’t know more detail. For to know more detail need more analyze and repair. They told if start analyze then they will repair. It can take about one month and it is expansive. I would like to come back to Pattaya and repair my vios there. But it is about 1000 km from Phuket. So, what do you think, to try go to Pattaya or do it at Phuket?

As said before we need a bit more information here. Is the gearbox manual or automatic ? What exactly do you mean by " Has the wrong behaviour " 120,000 km isn't high mileage unless the car is only year or so old ?

thank you for replay.

Gearbox automatic. 2009 year. " Has the wrong behaviour " - I don't full understand too.

What makes you think that the oil needs changing ? Most auto gearboxes these days have oil that is designed for the life of the gearbox or very high mileage I know the Toyota ones do. Manual even m ore so

I have 120 000 km. when I’ve bought this car it was 110 000. Some man told me that oil must be changed in 80 000 km. However, unfortunately he has it wasn’t. He told me that gearbox has wrong behaviors now. Therefore, I am not sure I have to do or not…

How about a Toyota dealership. One at the end of the bypass road on the right, another 2 3 in Phuket Town. Google for directions.

Thank you! The price is not too high? When I spoke about a broken headlight, it was several times more expensive than in the other garage. However, it was in chiang mai

Hello. Please, recommend me good place, where it is possible to change oil in my toyota Vios’s gearbox.

(second gen. Vios I guess?)

Yes, you are right! Would you recommend a shop? I came to one, but they said can't fix.

Vietnamese garage, Chaing Puek soi 2, B3,000 per panel.

Good attitude and always excellent job, sorted so much on my motor.

john

What is panel? What do you think, how much is my scratch?

Yes, I have an account in kasikorn. However I suppose it is not required for insurance. One moment is strange, why they didn't take a photo of car before make insurance

Does it cover kasikorn insurance? I suppose not http://www.kasikornbank.com/EN/Personal/Insurance/Generalinsurance/CarProtect/Pages/CarProtect3Plus.aspx

Please, recommend me shops where I can fix it and the Price corresponds to quality. Thank you

Was just looking at Sure Toyota near airport plaza (theres a few of them about). Found that anything Vios could not be had for cheaper than 395,000 baht

But, as I see it can be cheaper http://www.one2car.com/toyota/vios/

There is a used car lot in Chiang Mai that specializes in bank repos. I got a gently used Ford Ranger pickup cheap. I've had it for seven years. When I replace it, I'll go back to the same used car dealer and trade in my old Ford Ranger pickup on another identical one. Why a pickup? Because of flooded streets. My pickup takes me to the grocery store when small cars are stalled. Plus it is safer and cheaper to buy a huge truck with a large sturdy motor. Nothing goes wrong. Doesn't need to be repaired. If a small car crashes into me, I replace a bumper. The small car is totaled. Think twice about getting a small car.

I'd like to travel to Singapore by my car. So, I think I need small and an economy car. It is the reason to use LPG too. I'd like to know range of prices in CM. Now I'm outside Thailand.

Hello! I have a plane to buy a used car in Chiang Mai. Toyota Vios 2009-2012 year. Better within LPG. How much is it in Chiang Mai? How easy to buy?

Maybe better idea to go in Bangkok and buy there?

Thank you for attention!

Hello! Recommend me please a condo or apartment not expensive then 12000 bath. With kitchen and not too far to some nice beach. Internet and air condition need too. Thank you.
