Aircon Repair: Mario Reyes

[OTEP]

Ano pong sasakyan? May OEM heater din ba siya? Kasi dapat may heater-core ka sa loob ng cabin para gumana ang heater.

You can always give Mang Mario a call if you want to ask. Kasi yung ex-JDM na Trooper, hindi na nila pinagana ang heater nung nag-convert sila.

Yep, masarap mag-heater. Yun ang gamit ko on my way to the hospital kapag madaling araw.

ride is Gen1 ex-JDM din....maganda ang AC (after a few repairs). di ko alam ser kung meron yung heater-core na sinasabi nyo e...di ko alam itsura...

but...kung may mabibiling whole heating/cooling system for the gen1...would you recommend I buy it and have Mang Mario install/replace?

Marami pong salamat!

(apologies for the delay ng sagot...)

Well, what can i say. I'm very satisfied with tatay Mario's service.
Ang daming tumingin ng air-con ko kasi nga minsan amoy basa or what ang lumalabas sa blower. minsan naman white smoke. most of the shops na pinagtanungan ko ang daming papalitan...at mas malala the last shop here in pasay road park sq 1 'R**#e'. Imagine iwan ko daw sa kanila ang auto ko for 1 week kasi kailangan daw ibaba ang dash board. what? and then..? di daw nila alam. and the worst, it will cost me a little less than 20k. woaaa...

anyway, to make it short ang kailangan lang talaga is cleaning. that's it. i went there yesterday morning before 10am. dali lang makita house ni tatay Mar...pang 6 ako, kaya kwentuhan muna ni tatay Mario, kasi naka 7th gen galant din pala sya. natapos ang cleaning around 1pm. kahit umuulan sige ang trabaho ng anak ni tatay Mar. That's what you call SERVICE!

Mabuhay si tatay Mario....

ex-gf?? ayos yan! I'm sure mai-impress siya pagkatapos gawin ni Mang Mario aircon niya. 1000 pogi points para sa yo yun :D

If you can buy all the parts, then they can install it. They even did the climate control system of an older model (90's) BMW 7 series equipped with an automatic climate control system.

I was there recently having a leaking hose on the W123 fixed. Php 1,000.00 for everything (parts, labor, materials).

[mhervin16]

from batangas pa po ako, pero willing ako magpunta kina magn mario kahit malayo, maayus lang aircon ko at sasakyan ko.. eg hatch 94 model d15b ek3,
complete parts na po ba kina mang mario? sa last tumingin ng aircon ko sabi sira daw ang compressor ko, nid na palitan.. nag check ako surplus pero ok lang na mag add na ako para sa brandnew, ayoko na kasi mag surplus talaga, nag check ako sa sulit meron ako nakita 11,500 ang price. kapag po ba derecho na ako kina mang mario meron na sya don? oh nid ko pa mag dala ng new compressor? hindi ko alam number ni mang mario want ko sana sya tawagan, kung malapit lang sana ako dun punta muna ako kaso sobrang layo ko talaga... mas maganda sana pag punta ko ok an ang lahat kumplit na ang kailangan ko.. ty po sa makakasagot

oo gna pala ito ung computation ibinigay sakin nung sa maxicon:


To give you an idea:
Gen services with freon -1,500
Flushing with nitrogen- 600
Drier-800
Exp valve-1,200
Compressor 11,500
Labor install compressor 450
Check nalang natin dito if may mga additional pang problema like your condenser, tubings, hoses at aux fan.
Btw, all parts i quoted are original and brand new.

nag iisip kasi ako kung saan ko dalahin, kung kay mang mario oh dito sa maxicon..

[OTEP]

Call him at 02 9201708 . His wife (and the one who sets the prices) will usually answer.

For a typical Japanese sedan, Php11,000.00 is the total cost of replacing a compressor with a surplus unit. And As far as I can recall that includes everything. Drier, flushing, oil, labor, materials.

You may opt to bring your own parts. As with any shop, they charge a small surcharge for parts that you buy from them (that's the price of convenience).

What time in the morning is best to go in the morning? 7 am, 8am? Just to be first in line.

Puwede ba mag name drop ng pangalan para sigurado maayos yung trabaho?

[shadow]

hirap pala magpagawa diyan, walang roof, eh di ang init...pag nagaantay ka?

[OTEP]

Yes mainit. Ok lang. Kahit naman yung pinag ooperahan naming tent at hospital pag nasa med mission eh mainit. Sanay na siguro ko. Pati kay Jemson ala din naman bubong. Pang-masa lang ito.

Weekdays kahit 8am. Weekends lang talaga and after long holidays medyo madaming tao. Ok lang naman po magsabi kung san niyo nakuha ang idea na magpunta doon. May pending work pa sila sa akin. I'll be there on the first Friday of the year siguro.

[pparado]

ok....galing-galing talaga ng tsikot!

Been to Mang Mario this morning kasi nawala na naman ang lamig ng ac ko blower lang, the first time I brought my ride sa kanya ang mga sintomas is pag natraffic humihina ang lamig pag tumakbo na medyo ok na uli hanggang sa mawala na talaga ang lamig, pinalitan ang magnetic kasi sira na raw, at kung gusto ko raw palitan narin ang belt dahil luma na rin so palit din, after two weeks while cruising along Quirino avenue sa manila biglang nawala lamig as in totally dead the following day dinala ko uli kila mang mar and long found out na patid ang fan belt sabi ko bago yan last two weeks lang pinalitan so ater palitan ulit ng bago fan belt ok na ulit hanggang after a month bumigay ulit at dinala ko nga kanina the culprit daw is the evaporator kasi nag leak test sila sumusuka na raw ng langis at di na pede iwelding so binigyan ako ng option ni Mrs. ang original daw na evaporator is 6800 with labor oil and freon charging na raw and the other option is the fabricated na 2800 with everything na rin piliin ko na sana yung fabricated kaya lang di daw kagaya ng lamig dati bawas daw compared sa original na babalik ang dating lamig so kahit sagad na sa budget pinili ko na ang original at pinalitan nga kaya lang parang di ako satisfied sa lamig niya para bang hilaw, pag tumatakbo nako saka lang siya lalamig pero pag naka sotp parang kulang, What do you thingk peeps? Dapat di ba kahit nakahinto ka o tumatakbo ay same lang ang lamig? I will still observed it pa ng ilang days bago ko ibalik kila mang mar. One more thing pag nagrerev ako ng medyo halfway na umiingay ang fan belt sana mawala di naman ito ganito dati.
Before I forget nakatwad nga pala ako kay Mrs nung una 6500 nalang daw from 6800 eh talagang sagad na sabi ko 6000 nalang sarado pumayag naman, sO I thank her.

[falken]

Ok talaga kay Mario Reyes. di taga, 900 lang singil sa linis ng van ko, kasama na freon. madali lang sila hanapin, sa likod lang ng sm north, 146 fort santiago st. tanong lang sa tricycle driver yung sinagtala terminal, katabi mismo nila.
