BYD Satun Showroom and Service Center

Hello, fellow EV enthusiasts! Sarareef is back with another first-hand review, and this time it's about something many of you have been waiting for: an update on my BYD Atto 3 electric car, which I've been using heavily for almost three years and has already driven over 140,000 kilometers! That's a very high mileage for an electric car in the Thai market. Naturally, when it was time for the 140,000 km service, I had to rush to the service center to see if this "fat" car needed any special attention or if there were any problems.This was a slightly challenging mission. According to the original schedule, I was supposed to have the service done precisely at the mileage mark, but due to the flooding at BYD Hat Yai, I had to postpone and use the BYD Satun service center instead. This lengthy appointment process resulted in the mileage slightly exceeding 140,000 km (approximately 140,468 km). If it had exceeded that by a significant amount, I could have incurred costs of almost 3,000 baht for missing the warranty service! Fortunately, the BYD Satun service center was able to open in time. This allows for efficient management of scheduled maintenance while maintaining various rights, which is a highly commendable approach.1. Are there any specific problems or concerns regarding the BYD Atto 3 after 140,000 km?The answer many people want to know is, "There are no major problems to worry about!"This is a very positive sign for those considering purchasing an electric vehicle or those already using one. The fact that an electric vehicle that has undergone such heavy use over 140,000 km still maintains normal operation reassures users about the reliability and durability of the BYD Atto 3.2. Things to "pay special attention to" at 140,000 km that many may not know about.In addition to the standard checklist for electric vehicles, this time, Sarareef serviced a very important part that many EV users may not know about: "cleaning the condenser coil."The condenser coil in the electric vehicle's cooling system… The condenser coil plays a crucial role in quickly bringing in air to cool the passenger compartment. In practical use, especially in dusty, smoky, or polluted environments, the coil accumulates a significant amount of dust and dirt. Over time, this dust acts as an insulator, reducing the efficiency of the air conditioning system's heat dissipation and temperature regulation.I myself didn't know this part needed cleaning until I saw information from other sources that an uncleaned condenser coil would be completely blackened with dust. So, I decided to have the mechanic clean it this time. Cleaning the condenser coil is therefore considered crucial preventative maintenance. If your car's air conditioning starts to cool slowly or less effectively than usual, you can assume that the condenser coil may be dirty and you should have a mechanic check it. Taking care of this small detail will help the air conditioning system work at its best and reduce the workload on the car's systems.3. Absolutely Impressive! The BYD Satun Service Center Exceeded ExpectationsBeyond the technical details of the car, I must say that the BYD Satun service center is truly number one in terms of service. * Handling immediate problems: The center had to accommodate customers who moved from Hat Yai and manage the queue, almost exceeding the mileage limit. However, they were still able to manage the queue and provide care quickly, which was very professional. * Superior service: The center provided full convenience to customers, offering a shuttle service to and from hotels. They were also especially kind to take the children to play and swim at Phuri and then safely pick them up and drop them off. This was a thoughtful service that made waiting for the car not boring at all. * Souvenir: After the service was completed, the car was cleaned to a sparkling shine (it was very gleaming). And the most special thing was that the center gave a souvenir of shrimp paste, a famous product of Satun province. It made me feel warm and impressed by the friendliness and hospitality of the people of Satun.Summary from Sarareef:The BYD Atto 3 electric car has proven that at 140,000 km, there are no major problems to worry about. The durability of the battery and the overall system is excellent. The most important thing for all EV users is to pay attention to scheduled maintenance checks and don't forget to inquire about preventative maintenance, such as cleaning the condenser coil, which is a crucial factor in maintaining comfortable cabin temperature. With this, using an electric car for long distances will no longer be a concern!#BYDAtto3 #ElectricVehicle #MaintenanceCheck #EVMaintenance #CondenserCleaning #ReviewTips
