You can always inspect the vehicle yourself. Bakit ka pa gagastos? Kung may kailangan na lang i-repair saka ka pumunta ng mekaniko.

Start with a quick walkaround. Check everthing from the doors, tires, etc. See if anything looks amiss.

Then open the hood. Check if there are signs of fluid leaks. Top off all fluids to prescribed levels. Start engine, listen to sound. Start a/c, check engine for any noise or excessive straining.

Go underneath the vehicle check for leaks grab on to different stuff and see that everything is securely attached. You can also use a wrench to check for the tightness of suspension bolts.
