Aircon Repair: Mario Reyes

**Lemon** · April 12th, 2006 07:35 PM

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!

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.

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.

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** · April 21st, 2006 09:20 PM

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.

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!
