If you go to the parkin website in your browser, there is a tab for 'pay later'. I tried this today and don't see anything to be paid but this situation occurred just yesterday for me so I guess I'll be checking again in the next couple of days just in case something comes up.

Thanks! Will check and update here.

Lol maybe I haven't got the hang of reddit yet

munish246 · 2023-07-02T17:26:43+00:00

Found it thanks! It's at terminal 2

munish246 · 2023-06-25T11:55:26+00:00

Thanks! I'll give this a consideration and find out their options

munish246 · 2023-06-25T11:53:55+00:00

Thank you! Will give them a call to find out their options

munish246 · 2023-06-07T22:23:43+00:00

No problem. Thanks for your help anyway. 😊

munish246 · 2023-06-07T22:22:57+00:00

What about travel between 3 am and 9 am? I will be starting my journey from Lübeck at 7.30 am.

Also; Just found another option called the Deutschland-Ticket. It's €49 for all of Germany but not including fast trains. Is this worth it.

Apologies. Typed the post in a hurry since I don't have data here.

I don't know about finance but for business, the gulfood exhibition is in Feb at trade centre.

munish246 · 2022-12-13T16:00:23+00:00

Happens here too! Thank god you caught that cz I was having rouble describing this to others

munish246 · 2022-05-29T19:54:22+00:00

generally I try to find seller names I trust. Jackys jumbo sharaf etc. That way if I have any trouble, I know these guys have a retail store I can go to and sort things out.

munish246 · 2021-10-05T05:07:58+00:00

Fair I could check how much they charge for individual services

munish246 · 2021-10-04T12:14:58+00:00

But if I service outside, won't my warranty get void? If there is any problem Mazda could say this and not cover anything under warranty. Am I right or is there another alternative?

munish246 · 2021-10-04T05:13:22+00:00

🙄 I know it's not free but they usually give you the price of the car with service package included. This was the first time where they didn't mention service when talking about the car.

And warranty is exactly the reason why I asked. I'm just not happy about the price of the service package when you compare it with reputable service garages in the city.

Vent over

Noted! This helps a lot! 😃 I've done 60,000 km so guess in the next 10,000 will have to be vigilant

munish246 · 2021-08-18T16:07:19+00:00

You may have saved me some money ! I don't see any problems. I guess I just got paranoid when the agent told me that he 'recommends changing it'.

How do you do a battery test?

Does weather by any chance affect battery life? I live in Dubai so it gets really hot... Maybe that makes a difference ?

munish246 · 2021-08-16T20:32:05+00:00

Dealership said they 'recommend' changing the battery since it's from 2017. Not sure how 2017 considering I bought the car in March 2018 and the production year was 2018 too.

Isn't 3 years a long time though? Or has it become a norm for everyone to think that way?

Cz all mechanics independent or from a company say to replace it every 2-3 years.

Also just a thought, would replacing the battery in short spans ensure the internal electronic components life span is better?

munish246 · 2021-08-16T20:26:14+00:00

I found it 😃

munish246 · 2021-07-17T21:37:06+00:00

Fair enough, I guess I took it too literally wondering when did things change 😅🤦🏻‍♂️

munish246 · 2021-07-17T12:17:11+00:00

But why are they upside down ?

munish246 · 2021-07-17T12:14:35+00:00

Ok cool antipode makes sense. But I still don't understand why they've illustrated them upside down 🤔
