Saan po banda ang Fronte? Saan po ma recommend na reliable / notable sources for Starex parts?

158 banawe st corner kaliraya, quezon city.
Kung galing ka ng quezon avenue head towards e.rodriguez ave, fronte is on the first corner on your left side. Note: may corner din dun sa right side yung agno st., so if you count that corner then kaliraya is the 2nd corner.

so.. Fronte is parts / auto supply? o talyer that can do jobs? auto supply sila pero may mga mekaniko (either in house or tambay sa labas) that does the job?

we have a business that has our own motor pool.. pero wala ako gaano kumpyansa sa motor pool namin when it comes to repair of our own service vehicles... pero sa truck siguro... okay talaga sila...

so.. assuming good lead talaga ang Fronte... and say.. may engine related problem or brake related problem sa starex... saan kaya talyer best ito dalhin?

Up until late 2011 when we brought it to Rapide to fix the oil leak we have been noticing. Rapide told us they could do the job. What was supposed to be a P10,000 estimate. Turned out to be a nightmarish P52,000, and still was not able to bring the engine back to its previous state.

Currently, we are having problems starting the engine. We brought the vehicle to several mechanics, only to be disappointed. We have spend another P40,000, changing fuel filter, high pressure fuel pump, etc.. And while it will work for a few days, the problem goes back. Eventually a mechanic told us to pour a cap full of gasoline inside the air intake to jumpstart the engine. We have been doing it for the past 4 months.

I don't want to bring it to just any mechanic, but at the same time i also don't want to bring it to the casa (could be last resort). Does anyone know of a very good Starex mechanic. Please let me know. Thanks

Any update on this? Were you able to solve the problem and the starex would start normally without having to pour stsrting fluid down the air intake?
