Title: Best and Cheapest car maintenance and repairs
Post by: Lazzaruz on August 21, 2013, 01:47:15 AM
Guys this is the first time I'll repair my car after casa warranty. Saan ba pinaka murang repair/maintenance?

In my case, sa bushings and/or shocks ang tinitingnan kong ipapa repair ko. Okay na ba yung mga nakikita ko sa gilid gilid ng kalsada or yung sa mga Gas station?

Gusto ko sana mag ka roon ng katiwala pag dating sa maintenance or repairs.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you want to move out of the casa?

Gilid ng kalsada?  If your baby or wife or parent is sick, dadalhin mo ba sa albularyo o sa hospital? 

Ganun din sa kotse.

IMO.

sang-ayon ako kay Bohica, baka mapaglaruan lang ang sasakyan mo kung hindi mo siya sa kasa dadalin... although maraming magagandang repair shop sa pinas pero hindi mo masisigurado kung aayusin nila ng maayos ang sasakyan mo maliban na lang siguro kung kakilala mo yung gumagawa pero kahit pa... its better to be sure than sorry...

Did you have any bad experience doon sa casa? If so pwede naman sa ibang location. Pag sa casa kasi mas convenient for me, they will give me a call if PMS na then I set a schedule, iwan ko lang and go watch a movie or something.

I have this one car na mahirap siyang i-casa kasi import siya. Bale makikikasa ka pa sa brand na distributor nila dito. It's one hell of a hassle. Going to that casa was out of the question, napakalayo and pila pa kayo. No choice ako kasi yun at yun lang yung casa that could service my car kung hindi lang basta PMS.

So I opted for the next best thing, dinala ko siya doon sa isang sikat na repair shop na franchise ata yoon, akala ko safe and trustworthy dahil naka uniform pa at maganda ang place, pero I made a mistake. It made my problem worst and costed me an arm and a leg for a part na mura lang pala kung tutuusin. Kung ano ano pang sira daw kuno.

I will admit I didn't know much about auto repair, kaya being a young and naive college student at the time sige lang, bayad lang.

I had a bad experience already, and never again will I take that kind of risk.

May mga service vehicles kami na jan lang sa mga mechanic along the roads, magagaling naman and provided na taon na namin kilala yuon. But even so, when it comes to our cars? Casa lang.

Mas mahal sa Casa more often than not, pero at least mas kampante ka na alam nila ginagawa nila. That is just my take.

What car brand do you have mate?

One more thing, the resale value of your car will be much higher if casa maintained.  This is based from experience.  Buyer would always ask about the maintenance performed on your car.

Thanks all sa reply.

Old car na kasi I think 2007 and its a friend's car pinaalagaan lang sakin. Pina check ko sa casa sabi nung ibang kakilala ko mas mahal na raw pag ganun old car na.

usually kasi binibenta ko na ang car na 5 years old sakin. First ko lang to na naexperience at natakot ako kaagad nung sinabihan akong mas mahal kaya gusto ko sana ng second opinion.

just because it's casa, doesn't mean it's good. sobrang dami ko ng negative experiences sa mga casa. :(

Don't put too much trust sa casa. Pwede din nila paglaruan auto mo diyan.

Sino ang may pinoprotektahang pangalan?  Tabi-tabi o casa?

Ang tawag dyan corporate integrity at brand value.

Gamit naman ng utak pag may time.

Di rin natin masisisi yung iba na may mga bad experiences sa mga casa.

At may mga reputable shops din na hindi casa. Like sa mga car clubs. They have recommended shops pero hindi sa casa, sa bahay nga lang yung iba eh. At depende din sa car mo. Bakit mo naman dadalin ang 2014 BMW sa tabi2x lang? Bakit mo dadalin yung 1972 Beetle sa Autohaus? So, it's the owner's responsibility to locate those trusted shops by research. Join a club with the same make and model.

Hindi tayo pwede mag stereotype na the best ang service sa lahat ng casa, at worst service sa mga tabi2x. Dadaan lahat ng car owner's sa mga bad repair  services whether casa o tabi2x. And it's rewarding naman kung may makitang shop na walang backjob at best service. So it's a discretion of the owner.
It's a matter of preference. And we don't have to argue about it.

You still have an issue with me Bohica?

Para hindi OT and for your information: there are 3rd party shops out there that are reputable and reliable.
Di ko naman sinasabi na lahat ng casa kawatan. Ingat lang sa pag trust din sa casa dahil may mga tao din dyan na pperahin ka lang sa repairs, especially sa parts.

Gamit nga naman ng utak pag may time, hindi porket casa, 100% ka na agad sa trust and vice versa.

Very well said. Actually there are a lot of 3rd party shops out there that are trusted.
Ako usually I just purchase the parts I needed from Casa and ako at ung trusted mechanic ko nalang ang gumagawa sa bahay. Ganun din naman e, especially sa mga minor jobs like change oil, or replacement parts like brake pads.

If car mo under warranty pa dalhin mo sa casa. Marami naman reliable na service center na can maintain your car. wag nalang sa mga gildgilid
