Car ~ Towed Away

as i thought that yday was a pretty bad and stressful day, little did i know that today is worst... sigh*** it started out normally as i drove myself to work and everything with the car feels normal... i even stop by the same petrol station which i purchased the car battery yesterday to swap back the customer copy of the warranty card... the staff yesterday handed me the manufacturer's copy instead...


so off i head to the carpark and parked my car for work... at 5:30pm, i left the office and hike on to the van shuttle to my car... as i tried to disarmed my car, i felt something wrong... it's not responding... OMG!... it's Déjà vu... :( my car is out of battery again?! but it's a new battery i bought yesterday??!!... instantly it hit my mind that the alternator had died-ed... so i rang up my mechanic seeking for advice and the only option that i have is to tow the car back, even a jump start will not help as the new battery which i installed yesterday is totally outta of juice coz the alternator didn't managed to charge it...

i hv no choice but to call up Kurnia Assists to have them sent in a tow truck for my car... i have to wait almost 2 1/2 hours before the tow truck could arrived due to heavy traffic down at Puchong... getting my car towed is another major operation as my car originally came with the full sport skirts and side fender, thus he needs to jack up my car in the front before he can lift up the hook... sigh*** but then at least now i hv experience car towing...

at 9:30pm, i finally reach home and had my car lowered down to the ground and paid RM 30 to the tow truck guy... erm... i think RM 30 is very reasonable as private tow truck will at least cost me RM 120+... every year Kurnia Assists will cover 30Km of towing FOC and every excess of 1Km will be charged at RM 1.50 (excluding toll money)... the only thing i was angry that nite was the tow truck service arriving late and how the Kurnia helpdesk center guy didn't informed me that if customer insists to use their Kurnia tow truck, it can cover 50Km FOC instead... zzzzz...
