Aircon Shop along Marcos Highway

[carlos]

Anybody here who could refer me to an aircon shop along Marcos Highway? Im planning to have my aircon cleaned or probably have my compressor replaced. The last time i had it checked was a month ago. According to the technician, wala na daw pressure yung compressor ko kaya di na lumalamig, although he tried to add some oil, nag respond naman and said na naagapan but i still have to observe it. Few days ago, wala na lamig.

By the way, my car is an Echo, so alam ko baklas ang dashboard. Anong shop sa marcos highway ang gumagawa nito. Kasi nabasa ko sa ibang feedbacks sa ibang forum na pag Echo,Vios or Altis tinatanggihan ng ibang Aircon shops.

Would also like to know how much will it cost me to do the service(cleaning) and worse if compressor needs to be replaced.

you can try mickeys along gil fernando. if you are westbound (going to cubao) turn right ka sa kanto ng mcdo - that's gil fernando. on your left (a few more meters) will be mickeys. malaki ang sign nila iirc, its blue

note - this is NOT mickeys autosound ha... kapareho lang ng pangalan.

Yeah, i've seen this place everytime i eat at Tapa ni Vivian. I'll try to drop by this morning.Thanks a lot, spyghost!

Anyway, i brought my Echo to Mickey (owner's name is Manny), he was very accomodating. Though a little pricey for the basic cleaning, i find it their staffs to be truly professional. They dont accept tips, its against their employer's policy but i still ended giving them "pangkape". Malinis ang trabaho because they dont want to have a backjob, sila din kasi mapapagod.Marami sila ginawa and replaced my hose as well as the filter. Pina hinang ko na yung tubing para wala na O-ring na pinanggagalingan ng leak(aside from the rubber hose).Worth it and i paid P4,250. Thumbsup

hey thanks for this. been looking for a good shop in this area.

[spyghost]

do they vacuum the pipings before charging with freon?

[carlos]

yes, they do. Actually thay even use nitro to test the leak since it has a higher pressure.

[kenzie]

just look for manny? how would you grade their service and "professionalism"?(so hard to find professional workers nowadays) 10 being the highest? thanks

[carlos]

Manny is the owner of Mickeys. I suggest you approach him first since he's always there as early as 8a.m. And from my observation with the kind of service they provided me, i should say 8.5. 9 sana kung may snacks:juice:

^^ thanks bro I appreciate the infos.

[carlos]

No problem, sir Kenzie! Hope you can share your experience with them soon.

Hmmm...share ko lang experience ko sa Mickey's though lower power ang problem hindi sa aircon. First pina-scan ko for trouble codes which alone cost 1,500 already. Then they recommended throttle overhaul which cost 4000. I approved it since I hoped they knew what they're doing. They said it will be fixed at 3pm. I did some follow up, at 2pm they replied that tune up is needed already which ended up to over 9,000 pesos. In the end the problem was not fixed after paying 9,000 pesos.

At the same time na kukunin ko na car ko may dumating na isa pang customer. Galit na galit. Obviously he's not satisfied with their work. Aircon problem nya, sabi nya before daw niya pa ipagawa may lamig pa. Nung ginawa na ng Mickey's pinagpapawisan na sya loob ng car nya. Pinababalik na nga lang nya sa dati eh kasi may pinalitan pa daw na piyesa.

Idagdag ko pa ng kukunin ko na car, nag-antay pa ako ng 30 minutes kasi nagmemeeting ata staff nila. Tapos yung mga tauhan nila sa labas parang di alam gagawin tinatanong ko kung bakit walang nag-aasikaso sa akin. Nung nagreklamo na ako yun, lumabas din yung cashier. Kaya bad talaga lahat experience ko sa kanila.

So for me, with my own experience in their quality of work and other's experience which I saw myself, I will not go back to Mickey's again.
