Aircon Repair: Mario Reyes

[Supierreman]

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.

500 lang singil sa akin

[OTEP]

theveed: They do the A/C on all our Benzes (W123 included). Cleaning itself does not really take long. An hour or two? Yung pag-pila ang matagal. So be early. hehehe.

Good day mga sirs:
I have a gen II pajero with a slight aircon problem: Pag traffic(meaning di halos gumagalaw) and especially at noon pag sobra init, di masyado malamig ang lumalabas sa blower, pero pag recta na, lumalamig ang buga. What seems to be the problem? Thanks. D naman nago-overheat.

possible cause sira condenser fan. Pag tumatakbo ka sa highway nalalamigan condenser mo kaya gumagana pa AC pero pag matraffic nahihirapan yung condenser

Dear Supierreman,
so, kailangan palitan na or kaya pa kaya maremedyohan? Thanks for the input.

[OTEP]

Nasira ko na condenser fans ng Pajero ko (probably due to swimming in grille deep waters). Other shops won't dare touch my fans. And are pressuring me to just buy new or surplus fans.

Of course I took it to Mang Mario. Php 800.00 later, both (dalawa kasi iyon) of my fans are in good working order again!

[rsnald]

dadagdag lang ako sa mga testimonies sa galing at husay ni Mang Mario/AC expert.

I went there to have the aircon of my crosswind checked up and fixed - di na kasi lumalamig.
swerte ako dahil ako ang unang customer for the day so naasikaso agad ako.
quick check of the compressor and the sight glass, then kalas ng evaporator... ayun! may pinhole leak yung evaporator ko. They showed me by immersing the whole evaporator in a tank of water. wala na daw remedyo yun dahil sa maninipis yung fins ng evaporator - (this I know in advance coz I also consulted another mechanic who's familiar with a/c's)
So inofferan ako ng options... replace with an original evaporator (P7500) or a "generic" replacement evaporator (P2.8K) . I chose the latter... so all-in-all P2800 lang siningil sakin and this includes... replacement of the evaporator, kalas and linis ng evaporator sa likod... check for leaks sa condenser, recharge ng freon and lagay ng oil sa condenser. and then, nakadiscount pa ko ng P100... by merely mentioning MASTER OTEP's name. sabi ko sa misis ni mang mario, "nirefer po ako sa inyo ni otep"... ayun! instant discount thanks master otep!

ang di lang nagawa bali yung pagpalit ng dryer, but all in all, I'm very satisfied with their work. Libre kwento pa kay mang mario - sarap kakwentuhan, dami nyang istorya hehehe. nanonood lang din sya, yung mga henchmen (kumpare at mga pamangkin) nya ang dumidiskarte under his close supervision.

[silhouette]

ibig sabihin kung na mention ko name ni sir otep may discount pa yung cleaning fee ko na P500? hehe... joke lang.
fair price naman singil ni tatay mar. at sa mga kwento pa lang nya bawi ka na...

[OTEP]

Sa kanya ko natutunan ang tamang pag-aalaga ng mga aso. hehehe. Pwede na rin siguro siyang veterinarian.

Aba, alam pala ni Mrs. Mario ang pangalan ko. :D

[zanch]

highly recommended si Mang Mario! Madali kausap and di taga sumingil. No wonder dinadayo sya ng mga tao.

[kotiko]

Kaya ba niya euro cars? like opel? bmw? and MB narin?

[OTEP]

Yup. He has already done an earlier 7-series as well as later 3 series. Nakita ko na din C at E class MB sa shop niya and he does all the work on our vehicles including the Benzes.

Basta hindi ka maselan at maarte ok na dun.

[wac3]

based on my observation, mukhang 100% positive feedbacks ang rating nitong si mang mario. medyo tempted na ako magpaservice sa kanya kahit na malayo.

[kotiko]

Pag nasa loob ba ung evaporator kaya rin nila ibaba yung dashboard para linisin evaporator?

[falken]

Yesterday I was at Mang Mario's and they were servicing a MB 100, nakabaklas yung dashboard, so kaya niya yan.

[OTEP]

Halos lahat ng sasakyan nasa loob ang evaporator. I have yet to see one with the evaporator outside. It is the condenser that is on the outer part of the vehicle.

Yes, binaba na nila dashboard ng MB100 namin. The BMW 3 series also require that the dashoboard be taken out. As well as the REVO and Pregio among others.

[garyq]

grabe ganun pala design ng MB100 baklas dashboard just to replace the a/c evaporator. Yikes, matrabaho. IMO it's poor engineering design kung ganun. Yan gusto ko sa Japanese cars, simple. Of course on some other industrial machineries, German engineering wins hands down. I have experiences fixing textile, paper and foil machines na 30 years old na from Germany and sarap i-service dahil kahit di mo alam madali gawin. My rule: pag pilit yung installation mali yan!

[vinj]

Revo, Opel Astra, Nissan Exalta Grandeur, and Serena also require the dash board to be taken down for evaporator cleaning.

[bardigones]

also recommended:

para sa mga nalalayuan kay mang mario,

SVM Car Aircon Specialist
Sikap Street (near corner Boni Ave., near Mandaluyong City Hall and Hospital)
Mandaluyong

ok din ang service.

[ssaloon]

galant ba kelangan tanggalin din ang dash for evaportaor cleaning?
