^pa-sagot bro nung timing belt question . imo, it would be best to buy your timing belt at the casa in alabang for its authenticity's sake then have it installed elsewhere. all the shops bro 1D4LV mentioned above are pretty decent. all though i can only attest to the quality of work at shell times/perpetual (ok ang customer's lounge nila at malapit pa sa select ) and ceejay's (it's along the A-Z road right before uniwide if you're alabang bound). but you might also want to try rodel's aircon shop in bfrv. ok din sila magtrabaho at affordable din

November 27th, 2007 11:37 AM #2Hello po,
I've been reading this forum and I really learned a lot regarding cars. I'm a lady driver and yes, I only know how to use it but not maintain it. I depend on my dad when it comes to these things but he's out of the country for some time now so im on my own (maintenance wise and financially too). I'm looking for a shop which will fix my concerns below para isang puntahan na lang.
I hope you could provide me estimate on the following, vehicle is 2000 Honda Civic MT
1. Timing belt - never been replaced, kilometer reading is already 130k. I don't know if there's anything else that needs to be fixed/replaced related to this?
2. Aircon Evaporator - just had my aircon system cleaned, recharged freon, etc here at an A/C shop near my place (temporary fix only). they told me that the evaporator has leaks and quoted me a price. any idea on how much it would cost me baka kasi overpriced ung sa kin? Nanghihinayang me kasi neto ko lang nabasa ung tungkol kay Mang Mario and P2500 nagastos ko just to have the aircon clean as compared to <P1000 sa shop ni Mang Mario.
3. Brake pads/brake system - when i had my aircon checked, the mechanic told me that "manipis na ung brakes" so don't know specifically what. i'm also confused why 'coz the first time pinaayos namin ung sa brakes is *2003 ata (casa) and the following was last december 2006 lang at rapide in shaw . ganun ba talaga kabilis un?
4. Power Window (Front Passenger side) - no longer working. i had this one checked at the casa noon pa, tipong papalitan na daw ung motor sa loob, how much will it cost po to have it fixed?
5. Power locks (Right side, front and rear doors) - have to manually lock both doors pa even if i lock via the driver's side.
6. Change Oil and everything else related to it.
7. Wiper blades - malabo na when it wipes especially at night or when im driving in the rain.
I really hope you guys can quote me the prices for the parts that will be used as well as the service charges so that I'll have an idea how much money I should bring when I have my car serviced. Any do it yourself thing is out of the question so I would really appreciate it if you guys could recommend a shop in Las Pinas/Alabang/Southern Manila area pero if merong mas maayos/mura somewhere else sige po.
If sa casa naman po ko magpapaayos lahat neto (anyone from Honda?) how much would these things cost me kaya? Baka kasi maliit lang difference (hoping )
Thanks in advance.

November 27th, 2007 01:00 PM #4thanks po! bigo pala ang pangarap ko na isang shop lang ang puntahan.
1) pag OEM po ba kelangan ako bibili or provided na rin nung shop un? how can i be sure na OEM ang ilalagay nila?
2) san po banda ung Ceejay's, anong landmark?
3) ung sa brake pads, kakapalit lang last year whereas before that 3 years inabot nung sa una. 2000-2003-2006-2007. 1 year lang? my usage is the same naman all throughout. it just makes me wonder lang if rapide has been honest with what they've done to my brakes. nagtataka lang ako pero syempre, i'll have this fixed na rin.
4) san po ung motortown area?
thanks again!

November 27th, 2007 09:10 PM #7Oks lang po, no harm done
Is it okay po ba dun sa auto shop kung bibili me ng OEM sa honda mismo tapos dadalhin ko na lang sa kanila for them to install? Ano un labor na lang ang babayaran ko sa kanila?
Malapit lang pala sa kin ung motortown area. Thanks guys! Will visit some of the shops you've mentioned... antayin ko muna kadatungan ko, at least I have an estimate of how much my expenses would be

sent you PM already, but to answer your questions...
1. most shops carry OEM and replacement parts, but personally, i cannot really distinguish them by just looking at it. if you want original OEM parts, get it from the casa.
2. ceejay is located in front of Uniwide Mall in Pamplona. Coming from Sta. Cecilia Village/Citimotors, turn right going to BFRV gate. You will see Ceejays at the right side, just before you reach Uniwide
3. i think that the part that was replaced is a replacement part, which is of low quality.
4. motortown is in front of St. Jerome Church, ATC. Yun mga parking sa tapat ng simbahan.
