Do You Still Trust The Casa?

Bigla ko tuloy naalala na my battery died a week after a PMS. According to the batt check ok pa naman daw yung battery. Di kaya nakahuyan ako? Tsk.

Puede, Delaershp/Casa pansin ko kulang sa Control s amga tao sa service. Upper mangement seem to focus only on sales figures. Kaya benta ng benta ng pyesa kahit hindi naman kailngan palitan.

AS much as possible I do not go to CASA. Madaming hocus pocus na puede mangyari. Antay ka pa ng matagal. Sayang oras dyan.

Dealers replace parts and not repair for a couple of reasons ... one would be to protect the brand image ... imagine an authorized dealer "repairing" a damage part and then that repaired part breaks down ... people would then think that such brand does not have reliability and durability ... then there are legal reasons ... consider that said repair part breaks down and causes accident, injury or something worse ... then of course there's the usual suspect ... for profit ...

Yep, faster turnaround time for replacement instead of repair is also a factor and falls under the profit category.

Yup it pays to know your car well.

I remember the story of a lawyer who sued a service co. for replacing parts that weren't worn out. The company ended up settling the case for a 6 figure amount. Now they don't accept cars of lawyers anymore.

For some parts replacing the assembly is overkill. Imagine the difference in cost of replacing a couple of bushings instead of the whole control arm assembly.

The mechanic who was checking the bushings of my car mentioned that a certain brand needs the whole control arm assembly replaced instead of individual parts when needing replacement. Don't know anyone who owns a vehicle under that make ATM, but hearing inputs like these from mechanics makes you really want to stick with the known brands when purchasing a car.
