One of the automatic door locks on our Kijang stopped working yesterday. My driver said he would take it in to have it fixed. I asked him how much he thought it would cost. He said maybe somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 Rupiah. I gave him 200,000 Rupiah. A couple of hours later, he was back, the door was fixed, and the total cost: 150,000 Rupiah (less than US $20 dollars). In the U.S., just for the shop to take apart the door to look at the problem would have been US $200. Plus, I probably would have had to leave my car at the shop for at least a day. I wish I could have my car serviced so quickly and so inexpensively in the US. This is something I will definitely miss when we go home.
This is where my driver took our car:
