Another Aircon Repair Shop : Danknee

[marcusl]

I went to Mang Danny at Seaoil based on the recommendations on this board and they are spot on -- Mang Danny is the best! My aircon was shutting off when hot and two shops said either busted na magnetic coil or compressor needs replacement (11K-20K estimates). Mang Danny diagnosed it as normal wear and tear on the pulley. He took off the pulley face from the compressor (while on the car so hindi nasayang freon) and removed a paper thin washer. With the new tighter tolerances, wala nang problema sa aircon! Mukhang sanay magbaklas ng compressor si Mang Danny. Very knowledgeable and maayos kausap -- he explains things to you very clearly. He even repaired my noisy fan by replacing the motor with a very clean surplus unit he had on-hand (insides looked brand new). All in all, less than 1K singil sa akin. Nag follow up pa one week after asking if everything was fixed. Highly recommended!

For those asking about Danknee, Mang Danny now holds shop at the Sea Oil branch along Shaw/Pasig Boulevard near the entrance to Kawilihan Village. His contact number is 0949-9813304. He's a really decent and humble guy.

Up ko lang. Any recent customers of Mang Danny? Is his cellphone still the same (di ko ma contact eh)? Is he still at Sea Oil Pasig Blvd?

no prob, dench...basta about car airconditioning yung questions mo ha...heheh

[buknoy2002]

mkhang mganda yung home service

[jayelgee]

bilib ako sa mga tsikoteros dito...i just dropped by Danny's shop this afternoon to have him diagnose what's wrong with the air conditioning unit of my Starex...he told me that several people called/talked to him saying they were referred by me...there was one daw who kept asking a lot of questions but there was nothing wrong with his car aircon naman daw...very knowledgeable daw..."may alam" were his words...ikaw ba yun, DENCH? If so, would be interested to know what was your impression of Danny's knowledge of car aircons. Thanks.

meron ba sya landline?

kasi kung puro text question natin, e malugi sya?

how much kaya pa convert sa kanya from r12 to r134

[artpogi]

ito ba yun katabi ng Albertos Car Aircon Repair Shop?

[jayelgee]

buknoy2002, landline ni Danny : 7470195. Sa bahay nya yan. Have no idea how much to convert from R12 to R134. Maybe you can talk to him.

artpogi, yes katabi ng Albertos shop niya. i told him he should find a shop with more space for cars. pero mahirap lang siya and can't afford at the moment. so, spillover sa kalye yung mga ginagawa niya.

just reviving this old thread.

I'll be honest guys ha. i have been going to Mang Mario for the aircon of my car and my wife's Lancer Pizza Pie. My car alang problema. My wife's car ubos ang freon after about three months. parang di kaya patinuin.

so i decided to bring it to Danknee to get a separate opinion.

i tracked down DANKNEE the other day. he is now in the East Capitol Drive. 42 ata ang number. he forgot to list down his cellphone.

i told danknee that the evaporator has been taken down a couple of times na so we could eliminate the problem from there. he found a leak in the compressor and decided to take it down to have a look.

true enough, some aurings and bearings needed to be replaced. i was glad the compressor was repairable, otherwise palit na yun at laking gastos.

matagal din ang trabaho. took almost five hours. pero ok lang sa akin yun basta maingat at thorough ang trabaho. and i must say danknee and is men are very careful and thorough. di nagmamadali. he wanted to take down the evaporator pa pero sabi ko wag na rin bec it was getting late. ganun daw sila, silip lahat ng parts para sure na alang sira.

total damage: 3.5K.

so lets see if the problem has really been solved.

Bro Morrissey! so how's your wifes car A/C now, still good?

[SELEGNA_35]

does anybody here knows the new cp # of danny? me nagpupunta pa ba sa kanya na tsikoteer? kamusta d ba sya nagbago?

[judyang]

Danknee or Danny Aircon? Yung nasa kanto ng west capitol, katabi ng restaurant na ilonggo ang name? Walking distance from goodyear servitek?

I asked for a repair quotation from that shop months ago and it was P 1000 higher than other shops. If thats the same shop, i hope hes very good.

[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, 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.

[jayelgee]

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.

meron ba sya landline?

kasi kung puro text question natin, e malugi sya?
_________________________________________________

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.

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.
