hmm tru tru, but because i just bought the car i kinda want someone to do a through look at the car to see if everything is ok. know wot i mean? peace of mind i guess, plus my car is acting weird since yesterday, at idle it seems to sometimes feel like it is about to stall and shakes the whole car...i dunno wot could this be? anyone experience this before?
thats why i sorta wanna go through with the service, so they can tell me if anything needs changing etc etc...
cheers

when ur at idle and the car is shaking, whats ur revs reading?
yeah i know what ya mean about a check up for a piece of mind, i might need that aswell, but i dont wanna pay 200 for sumfin i can do for 80-100 in my back yard.
thats why i was asking what they exactly do in a service

I went to Pro Concept last weekend for just a standard service.
Oil - Motul Full Synth, Oil Filter and Air filter cleaned and re-oiled.
It was done within 1 hour and charged me $140, that was my first time there and it wont be my last.
The oil you use changes the price dramatically.

it could be a hole in the piping, could be sumfin in the vacuum line.do you have a boost gauge, if yes, whats it reading at idle, for the revs, they should be at average 8 when idle

hhhmmmmmm
lights turn on,means cabled ok(electric), needle on 0, ok no vacuum is going thru, check the vaccuum pipe,from the boost guage to your intake pipe, see if its loose anywhere, or ripped...how about when ur giving the car, does the boost go above 0, or stuck on 0

Just go to Pro Concept for the service they are the best for a reason. Being a public forum i won't give my opinion on UAS.
