Another Aircon Repair Shop : Danknee

[theveed]

Galing dun friend ko today, sobrang ok daw ang trabaho. 3+ years na ata di gumagana yung aircon, inayos nalang yung magnetic clutch thing (kasi di aligned) and then clean AC system (di nadin binaba dashboard), change compressor oil and drier, refill freon. Mga 3K ginastos.

That's a good deal kasi pag sa mga MB shops pinagawa mga 2K na pagbaba palang ng dash, tapos malamang sasabihin palit na dapat clutch or compressor.

theveed, yung friend ko that i had recommended danny to also had a european car. ganun din sabi nitong friend ko. ordinarily, binabaklas daw yung dashboard to get at the compressor. nung ginawa ni danny, ni hindi daw binaklas. "dinukot yung compressor" were the words he used. tuwang-tuwa siya kasi home service na, mura pa lumabas.

am glad happy yung friend mo. tulong na rin nung friend mo yun sa nakakahirap pero nagsisikap kumayod sa marangal na paraan.

Hehehe... oo nga naman, mahirap lang kasi yung tao.

Baka naman protege ni Mang Mario yan? Baka nakapag trabaho kay Mang Mario. Pero the fact that Jayelgee caught him reading a book on refrigeration is an indication that this guy is a learner and malayo mararating nyan.

So, mga Tsikoteers punta na! Baka makapag abroad pa yan kabawasan sa Pinas ang mga taong katulad nya.

his landline is 747-0195. i mentioned mang mario to him when i went to his shop the last time. hindi niya kilala, so malamang hindi siya protege ni mang mario. at least, merong mang mario sa bandang north at danny sa bandang gitna...kailangan na lang sa bandang south.

theveed, galing ako kay danny today dahil nagloloko yung electronic "thermostat" nung corolla ko. naikwento niya yung friend ng friend mo nagpaayos din daw kay danny kahapon. nagpapasalamat siya. sabi ko, paaabutin ko.

Will be visiting Danny this Sunday.

TODO:
1. Thermostat - convert na lang daw to rotary type.
2. Compressor - change shaft seals. Convert to R-134a if di pa converted for less hassle at the LTO next year.
3. Evaporator - replace foam to seal from outside smoke and smells.
4. General cleaning.

Called him up kanina. Very mild-mannered person and very easy to talk to. He gave a very reasonable estimate. Will post feedback ASAP.

Seminar: Kung ayaw mo paconvert yung thermostat switch, hanap kang surplus (since lancer naman, dami pyesa nyan).

Nice idea. Will bring that up pagpunta ko. Tnx for the tip ;)

[ssaloon]

mabisita nga... kelangan paayos yung clutch ko since di na kumakabit yung magnet eh... cleaning na rin ng evaporator

btw, mas maluwag ba shop niya compared to mang mario's?

[kotiko]

Uh may pagkaroad spill ata? Maliit lang shop niya e, so most probably sa tapat ng shop lang niya sa street. Medyo masikip rin ata since may other establishments siya na katabi na usually may mga nakapark. Nasa main road kasi ng Kapitolyo so medyo masikip, pero di naman gano hassle. :D

[Ningaskugon]

Magkano ba cleaning kay Mang Mario? I had mine cleaned at Daknee and the charge is P900. This is standard right? Most shops that I know charges around it. Baka mas mura kay Mang Mario.

Maliit lang po yung shop nya, as in MALIIT pero he is competent, sagot nya lahat ng tanong ko and makikita mo na alam ang ginagawa.

[theveed]

Mura na yun, standard sa ibang shop around 1200 pag R134.

[OTEP]

Magkano ba cleaning kay Mang Mario?

I think its Php 600.00. Hindi ko lang sure kasi I don't have my system cleaned sa dual-air ako. hehehe.

[popoyn]

i just talked with danny. his other landline is 6332283, the other one is sira. conversion or retrofitting from r12 to r134 will cost 5t up depending on the type of car . according to him by next year he will be transferring to a bigger talyer with a new name. he will keep us posted.
mababa talaga ang presyo ni danny. nag paquote ako ng change compressor for my hi ace . his price is almost half the price of others. we really have to support this kind of guy. magalang pang kausap

[jayelgee]

seminarista: ako din kailangan ko magpalit ng "amplifier" para sa aircon ng corolla ko. sabi ni danny, he can convert it to the rotary type thermostat kung gusto ko. pero hindi na magagamit yung original thermostat sa car so medyo pangit, especially kung ibebenta mo pa car mo later. hirap lang humanap nung hayupak na amplifier na yan. lahat ng toyota dealers walang part. sa planta, wala rin daw. kailangan daw i-order sa japan. does anyone know kung merong ibang mabibilhan nitong part na ito sa metro manila?

[JohnM]

Try mo sa surplus shops as usual. Kung di ako makahanap ok lang kahit stuck ang thermostat sa isang setting basta mag-off ang compressor kung tama na ang temp. Ngayon kasi parating on ang compressor kahit sobrang lamig na.

the more people like mang mario and danny, who are honest and competent, the better for all of us...

yung akin naman ayaw mag-engage yung compressor...mainit palagi...should i trust surplus shops lalo na since electronic yung part na pinag-uusapan natin? sabagay, kung no choice rin naman, okay na kaysa wala...

[theveed]

thermostat isn't really a complex circuitry don't worry about it.

ang issue ko lang is that if you get a surplus and nagkataon na baligtad ang orientation nya, you might have to do some tweaking like flipping the switch upside down or something para tama ang itsura...

but if you're lucky enough na parehas lang orientation ng switch edi mas ok.

it's not like it'll screw up the ac system physically kung sira ang thermoswitch.
