Yesterday, I was at Mang Mario's place. Medyo naligaw nga lang pero it's worth the trip. Naayos na rin sa wakas problem ng aircon ko. May tagas yung cooling coil so replacement was made. Super dumi pa nga nung coil. I tried the replacement/fabricated cooling coil based on Mang Mario's and Norman's recommendation. Total bill: 2,600 pesos - labor (kasama cleaning ng blower, pati glove box), freon, oil and cooling coil with one year warranty. If original cooling coil, around 7K ang gastos.

Very satisfied ako sa naging result.

Kakatuwa, di nakalimutang linisin ni Norman yung dashboard na narumihan during the work process.

I was there last Saturday (March 25) having my auxillary fan motor replaced. SRP for the service was Php 1,800.00. Your haggling skills may vary.

Also saw tsikoteer Jimbob having his Crosswind checked.

Tamang tama yun pag paayos ko ng AC, ang init na ngayon. Ok na yun AC ko, palit compresor, although lahat ng pinag tanungan ko before nag leleak daw yun evaporator ko, sabi naman ni mang mario ok pa daw yun yun tsaka yun dryer ko. Lamig na ngayon tsaka parang di na hirap yun blower, wala ng ungol. =) Sana tumagal yun lamig.

Bukas ng 7am nasa bahay na ko ni Mang Mario!

i was in mang marios place last sat. isa lang masasabi ko. galing nila kasi ang lamig ng aircon ko ngayon. ibang shop na pinagtanungan ko sabi may leak na daw evaporator ko kaya nawawala ang lamig pero nung tiningnan ni mang mario wala daw. barado lang daw expansion valve at palit drier.

Naobserve ko lang kung pano tyo lokohin ng ibang aircon shop. one way is yung leak test nila sa evaporator. Pansin ko yung ibang aircon shop pag nagleak test, hindi nila tinataktak yung evaporator mo para matangal yung ibang air sa ilalim so pagpinakita syo sasabihin may leak na pero air lang pala yung na natrap sa ilalim ng evaporator. unlike kina mang mario talagang sinisigurado nila na walang air natrap sa evaporator mo.

honest service sila mang mario at may resibo na..hehehehe

Pumunta ako kay mang mario last Wednesday. Ang dami nakapila, past 12PM na ako nakapunta. Pero inuna pa nya ako hehehe. Linis lang ng evaporator tapos kinargahan ng bagong freon. P600 lang singil ni mang mario. Ang lamig na ng aircon ko ngayon, first time pa lang kasi nalinisan.

Dami kwento ni mang mario. Lahat na daw ng sasakyan nagawa na yata niya ang aircon. kung puede nga daw lang sa kanto nila ang eroplano at barko tatanggapin din niya hehehe.

thnaks sa mga stikooters na nagrefer dun.

am planning to bring my ride to mang mario anytime after the holy week. many positive feedback from him and its worth to try. anyway my problem with my a/c is compressor noise. malamig naman sya and no audible hissing sound from the inside cabin. when i switch it on, the compressor kicks in and make a takatak takatak sound then i fades down a little after some time. but the sound is still there. i also noticed that the compressor housing assembly itself ay nagtutubig. isnt it that yung lines lang dapat ang nagtutubig?

Last Monday nag pa check ako ng aircon ko kina mang Mario....di kasi lumalamig at blower lang. Yon linis lang ng evaporator, baklas lahat...P1.2k lang lamig na ng sasakyan ko..MITshubishi Adventure. Akala ko kung ano na problema..Kung sa iba sigurong aircon shop yon tatagain ka...

Nag-pagawa din ako kina Mang Mario 2 weeks ago. Arrived at their place past 7am at pang-apat na gagad ako sa pila. Problem nun AC ko ay biglang nawawala yun lamig. Nilinis lang yung condenser and OK na ang aircon. 100pesos lang siningil sa akin! Thanks Mang Mario!

[orly_andico]

finally napagawa ko rin ang A/C ko kay mang mario (last thursday). nawawala kasi ang lamig at the worst possible times (pag sobrang init) tapos bumabalik ulit pag pawis na pawis na ako.

anyway their verdict was clogged pipes and filters and have to replace the dryer. total cost 1700 including refrigerant refill (R-134a). i left the car at around 9am and came back for it at 8pm (coding kasi sa Makati... grrrr) seems to be OK so far, no more misbehavior. last time i had something done there it was the compressor clutch, mga 1.5 years ago yun for 1200 cost.

overall mang mario is a pretty good deal. he's just really out of the way. natatakot lang ako mag-isip kung magkano yang mga repairs na yan elsewhere.

Wow! So many testimonials kay Mang Mario, I want to go there na rin (kahit walang sira ang aircon ko) just to meet that guy!

Seriously though, I read that they are open even on weekends. Ano bang oras sila nagbubukas at nagsasara? Better have this info, kasi pagnasira ang aircon ko then si Mang Mario ang tatakbuhan ko; no matter how far he is.

I used to have my aircon done at D'New Central Aircon (547 Banawe cor. Calamba Sts., QC) and was quite happy w/ their service. This shop was the 1st ever aircon shop in Banawe, so owner Sid is such an expert and also a reputable person to deal with. But having all this client testimonial makes me want to try Mang Mario! Galing talaga ng tsikot.com.

mang mario is closed on sundays.
on all other days i believe 8am - 7pm.

but if you want something fixed, be there before lunch. haba ng pila.

napagawa ko na yung oto ko dati kay mang mario. ok naman. mura lang presyo at maganda naman gawa. si ryan gumawa. ayos naman.

nirefer ko sa kapatid ko nung nasiraan cya ng pressure switch. naayos naman. sinabay na din linis ng evaporator. mura lang gastos. tapos after 2 days, bigla nawala lamig pero wala naman bula. so binalik dun. nung first 3x pumunta ng kapatid ko dun, di nila ma-diagnose. nung ako na pumunta, nadiagnose as baradong drier and expansion valve. so pinalitan... pero ang badtrip dun, yung gumawa yung mukhang intsik... ang lakas pa ng bula sa sight glass, pilit na sinasabi na ayos na daw. kailangan ko pa sabihan si mang mario para lang lagyan ng freon up to the time na wala na bula. nung pauwi, di naman gaano malamig.pag dating nga gabi, ayun na. puti na ang bula sa bagong drier. so binalik uli doon. kinargahan lang uli nung intsik looking guy tapos mukhang ok naman.... after 2 days, pagsilip sa drier, may bula uli. so binalik. verdict: butas na ang evaporator. di na ma-repair. badtrip. after so much time spent going to and from mang mario, nabutas bigla evaporator. hindi naman yun ganun after palitan ng pressure switch. pero after palitan ng exp. valve, bigla nabutas. badtrip talaga.

di ko sinisiraan si mang mario. di ko lang talaga gusto ang timing ng mga nasira considering after palitan ng expansion valve bigla magkakabutas sa evaporator na hindi marepair. pati yung service nung intsik looking guy. magpapagawa pa din ako kela mang mario pero papagawa ko either dun sa anak o kay ryan at kay mang mario. nakakainis. btw, evaporator na orig cost 6k. haaaayyyy.

guys, just venting out. no harm intended. pasensya na lang po.

[orly_andico]

baka namalas lang sa "last touch." i don't think there's ANY repair shop who doesn't have their share of complaints din naman.

[sirkosero]

yep. true. ganda lang kasi ng timing eh. anyway, medyo napahiya din kasi ako sa kapatid ko kasi dun pa sa shop na nirecommend ko lalo nagkaproblema yung kotse... malas lang siguro.

[wac3]

kudos to mang mario! i recommended him to my friend who had his crosswind checked and repaired. parang freezer na daw aircon niya ngayon! :D

[the lark]

nasira ang condenser fan ko last week. nag try ako sa 4 na different shops para magcanvass kung magkano pa repair. lahat sabi palitan na fan, di na daw puede marepair, quote na price ay from 2,500-3,500. Pumunta ako kay mang mario at sabi niya kaya pang irepair yung fan. ayun after 2 hours na repair na yung condenser fan ko, lamig na ulit oto ko. damage: 500 petot

d best talaga mang mario!

[ineedmorehp]

San ulet 'tong c Mang Mario? Patay sindi yun lamig ng oto ko.
