Wala ako Trailblazer or Colorado... but i've own a 2010 Chevrolet Cruze for almost 2 years....here is my feedback sa service.

I keep reading post here regarding 10,000km check up.. (every)...but mind you..its 10K km or 6 months whichever comes first. Majority won't even reach 10K km in 6 months.... we at Cruze club...bring our ride 6 months regardless of km reading (again because we dont reach the km but months will be used).. so in short.. you bring your car in Casa twice in a year... cost ng cruze...rough estimate hindi baba ng P4k (gas engine)...average P4.8k-P7K per PMS..depends pa sa km checkup being done, small engine...

some members will consume less than 3K km in 6 months, but because they want to preserve the warranty, will still bring it in and pay the hefty pms cost... If you base the PMS with KM reading..than panalo sa cost savings..but if months are used...its practically the same with other brands..but again, based on my acquisition..more expensive maintaining my Cruze vs my Strada.

Regarding naman sa parts...well...supposedly..parts that are needed should always be in stock. again, based on my experience, you had to wait for weeks... (bumper replacement took almost a month). I read some cruze breaking down regarding sensors...some had their units fixed asap..some had to wait because no parts available...

we can also source out parts outside of casa, but only a few stores would carry the parts of chevrolet.

Di naman nagkakalayo presyo basta casa sa cas ang comparison b/w other car makers. Nagtry na ko ng ibat ibang casa ng chevy para sa 1st gen spark ko, base on experience pinaka ok overall is sa edsa greenhills branch. Ang problem lang sa chevy mostly ang parts e sa casa lang makakabili unlike ng cr-v ko at other japanese cars na nagkalat sa banawe pyesa replacement man o oem.

Yeah, does the Cruze club have a "suki" na shop?

This why most chevys even if quality made sya is still has a low RE-SALE value dito sa philippines when compared to other brands, especially japanese cars...

Is it? I'm looking at 1 to 5 year old Chevy cars in sulit right now and I think they retain their prices well enough.

How did dr_mej's PMS for his Trailblazer got expensive? Medyo mas mura nga yan compared to the initial PMS ng iba naming diesel cars, ranging from 9k-11k pesos.

I had my 1st PMS ( Chevy North) last saturday milage registered KM 3,800 almost 5 months in use, here my expenses :
Fuel System Flushing additives P 803.40
Engine Flush 504.00
Brake Paste ???? 160.00
7 ltrs ACDelco Dexos2 *780/ltr 5460.00
Brake Cleaner 235.00
Oil Filter 755.00
Wind Screen Cleaner 160.00
Sundries 500.00
LABOR 1314.00
TOTAL ++++++++ 9891.00

The TrailB was cleaned & shining again, by the way I learned from the Technical Supervisor that we can't use the EXCEL Motolite Battery due to difference sa terminal, sa trailB has two terminal for positive & negative plus extra for reverse( I don't know what is this). Life span of our EOM battery about 1 1/2 years daw ?????
