nagpa-service ako sa villamor airbase galing sa ortigas ext yung mekaniko. papalitan lang ng clutch master. tapos taxi kami papunta with pyesa. nung pabalik na 2,500 ang sinisingil ang alam ko 800 something lang ang presyo dapat. masyadong taga itong shop na MANALANG na to. bago ito, nagpagawa na ako ng electrical, sabi magagawa daw kasi ayaw umistart sa halagang 1500. ginawa lang ng mekaniko sinaksak ung terminals ng distributor pero abnoy parin ung takbo. tapos usapan daw namin basta umandar. then suggest nya ipa electrical works ko sa kanila sinisingil ako ng 6000 bali 7000 nalang daw dahil sa usapan namin na 1,500. then nasunong ung grounding kit, nung binalik ko di daw kasama yun kaya bayad daw ako 300! electrical yung ginawa saken tapos hindi kasama yung grounding??! sobrang mukang pera nung Edwin na may-ari. Yung mga mekaniko nya tahimik lang kasi alam rin nila siguro na taga magpresyo. Di na ko babalik dun. kung babalik ako may granada siguro ako.

tanong-tanong muna bago pagawa ng walang sisihan sa bandang huli

Avoid 519, Jomaka Auto Repair & Spare Parts, 21-A Mindanao Avenue, Tandang Sora Avenue, Q.C., read my story here.
Nagloko nanaman kotse ko, same problems, if not worse, arose after 1 month. Also, i went to EDS (sobrang galing ng mga taong to!), and they said na binaboy daw yung aircon (fresh na fresh daw yung tape) ko kaya nagloloko ng sobra.

This morning, I went to a talyer called RML MOTORWORKS in Meralco Avenue Pasig which is literally right next door to us. My car wouldn't start and I'm thinking it's a simple issue with the spark plugs. I asked the owner if they would still charge me for "home service" given the fact na literal na wala pang isang minuto andun na sila sa garehe namin. I was surprised na he was insisting na may charge parin!!! Once na lumabas daw sa talyer ang mekaniko nila e may singil na agad, apparently ganun ka valuable ang mga yapak ng mga mekaniko nila.

To make matters worst, he called over his greedy supervisor (another story which I will tell below) how much that "home service" is. I was quite shocked he quoted me P650!!! When I heard that I couldn't help but just walk away and tell them sa iba nalang ako magpapagawa.

Good thing the alternate shop and mechanic where I'd sometimes get my service which is just in another village was good enough to go with me without hesitation.

Kakagising ko lang nun at grabe nasira talaga araw ko.

Now the PREQUEL: A few months ago I went to the same next door talyer to have a yearly PMS. I was torn between having it done sa Honda casa itself or dito sa next door because of the convenience. The labor in Honda was just above P1,100+ which is quite reasonable since it's a 110k PMS, with all the visual checks included. Mr. supervisor of RML quoted me P950 for a simple change oil + tune up and said "visual checks" are free. Figuring the small price difference I showed my hesitance and he said "may discount naman tayo" so I figured OK go ahead anyway it's next door, for convenience.

Fast forward, when I was finally about to pay, I was surprised they're still charging me the same P950 amount! What pissed me even more is when I was telling him about the "discount" he mentioned, he was reasoning na "marami dinagdag," referring to the visual inspections that I had asked for (simple checks on the fluid levels, brake pads, etc.) na he earlier mentioned was free. In the end I ended up paying P850, unsatisfied with the quality of service and his greed.

I mean, I'm not a cheapskate especially when I see quality work. I've been having car repairs for years now and I have a good idea about pricing. I just hate it when people try to overcharge you over some stuff that's literally easy and quite routine.

Sorry for my long rant! And to be fair to that shop, the mechanics were nice to me and I think they're OK with their work. Just OK, nothing exceptional. They replaced my clutch and the work was fine. Beware about the pricing though!!!

First time i heard this... I'm pretty happy with the service of JP Wheels as they're the only shop i've encountered before that could cure the kalampags of our car(s). Haven't been there the past year though.

I used to get my oil change in Rapide Riverbanks... when i had them asses my rear suspension bushings sa Frontier, they we're gonna charge me somewhere in the range of P4K to 5K... went to Wheelers in Banawe for a second opinion and spent less than P400 for all the work. :P

Last year papunta akong laguna nang marinig kong sumingaw ung freon ko e me ka date pa naman ako tyempo naman malapait sa Rapide buendia. Pag repair ng leak, matagal abutin kaya sabi ko re-charge na lang freon kahit na sisingaw uli. at least for that day malamig auto ko di bale na bukas ipagawa ung leak. Sabi nung worker "boss wag niyo na sabihing ginalaw ko aircon niyo basta kakargahan ko iyan ng freon, abutan mo na lang ako maski 200". sabi ko naman di ba masama un? (kuno) sagot niya "ok lang un boss grabe naman nilang huthutan mga aanga angang customer dito"

Rapide-Riverbank: nagpa change oil sir ako diyan ng aking hiace van, that was week after arriving Manila early this year, palibhasa matagal akong nawala sa Pilipinas hindi ko na alam ang kalakaran sa presyo ng parts, for a replacement air filter Rapide Riverbank charged me P900, well good and fine.

next oil change, i had it done at Caltex TSora, i personally bought the air filter from an Auto Supply and to my surprise, the price was only P180. Rapide Riverbank had overcharged me 5 times the cost of 1 air filter.
