MRV A/C repair shop

MRV Aircon Parts & Supplies
E. Rodriguez corner Monte de Piedad St., make a left turn from Tomas Morato it's on your left after Iglesia Ni Cristo.

I highly recommend the repair guys here. Honest and pulido gumawa, I already told them that I will be posting their services here. Competitive ang prices nila since ang source ng parts nila ay direct importer. They are just freelance and they fix the vehicle beside the MRV shop. They were able to fix the problem with my pajero. Look for Philip and tell him that knew about them from tsikot.com and they will take care of you. Their number to follow.

meron warranty? Are they part of MRV or sideline sa tabi lang?

may warranty. yes, free lancer sila but so far i have no problem dealing with them. very satisfied ako sa service nila. with regards sa parts, definitely pinaka mababa sila since one of the importers sila and dun din kumukuha ang mga "casa" ng parts. just look for philip and mention that your from tsikot.com

just remember to go to E. Rodriguez Corner Monte de Piedad street. Dalawang branch ang MRV sa E. Rodriguez kase. Look for Phillip(payat) and Otep (kalbo) kase sila ang tingin kong magaling talaga magtrabaho. Labor and freon lang sa kanila the rest sa MRV mo na babayaran.

I had two cars done with Phillip - Looks good. We shall see in a month or two

[speed unlimited]

Kung sa piyesa dito ako bumibili mas mura kesa sa ibang gawaan ng Auto Aircon shop.

[jugski]

just had my civic es aircon check and cleaned here the best and cheapest of all. complete parts supplier kasi sila...halos half the price ng ibang shops

[wrathbu]

Am very glad everybody had a positive experience with Philip's crew. Pajero ko pag naka park nag-moist talaga lahat ng windows sa sobrang lakas ng A/C. Masaya talga ako sa trabaho nila dito.

Wala nga lang talaga matambayan dito pero guaranteed trabaho nila.

[tanatej]

Any estimates kung makano yung labor nila?

[tanatej]

Well I finally took the plunge and went there to see for myself. Had to replace the compressor as it was literally rusted out so you can only imagine the bill. Will withold final judgement until amay be after a month when things have settled down.

I will say this, though: have a quotation made in writing and make sure you have them itemize everthing that needs to be done and make sure both parties agree on the price. I learned my lesson the hard way with these guys. had to accept it nalang kasi I was so anxious on getting my aircon fixed.

chief ano nangyari pang punta nyo sa MRV? plan to go there also eh

[DBanker]

yes sir- what happened? i was also planning to go there this saturday..

[speed unlimited]

Dito ako bumili ng compressor ko 805 at ibang piyesa peo sa iba ko pinakabit . Hindi ko pa nasubukan magpagawa sa kanila pero sa mga piyesa dito ako bumibili mas mura kumpara sa iba.

Here's what they charged for an EE100 Corolla. Kayo na humusga kung mura or hindi:

Sanden TRS-090 compressor, brandnew, WITHOUT WARRANTY(!): 10k
quote for Sanden SD-507 compressor: 7.5K

1 bottle 134 oil: 100 pesos
1 bottle 141B: 70 pesos. I googled it and it looks like its for flushing. They put it in a small mineral water bottle but they didn't use even half of it. I thought it was just water they poured down the pipes.

1 pc. drier: 250 pesos. Not sure kung mura na yan.

3 pcs. o-rings * 9 pesos each: 27 pesos

1 pc expansion valve (eto yata yung nakadikit sa evaporator na mukhang brass fitting): 700 pesos.

2 pcs o-rings * 12 pesos each: 24 pesos

(I thought it was a good idea to replace them o-rings while they're there anyway)

Total: 11,171 pesos


Labor breakdown:

Install compressor
Drier pull down
Evaporator leak test
Flushing
Freon R134a
general labor

Price: 2800 pesos


Total: 13971 pesos. Walang tawad yan.


Comments:

- As many as 4 guys worked on my car at the same time which certainly saved time.
- The people were generally nice although not really that friendly. Cordial is what I'd describe it. They would only talk if spoken to.
- NAPAKAINIT sa lugar na yun. I suggest you do not bring your wives or girlfriends there unless they're working on their tan.




I hope I really wasn't ripped off, especially on labor. The money I spent with them was only a few pesos cheaper from what the other aircon shops gave as an estimate for everything including labor. Given that I went out of my way to go there, I wouldn't really recommend it unless you live near the New Manila area.

[ReXBadBoy]

tsk ganun ba bro... tsk kay Mang Mario na lang pala ako pupunta... kala ko ok ang MRV tsk

[tanatej]

OK now I can say I was officially ripped off: wala nang lamig ngayon yung aircon ko at all and to think it has only been a grand total of 2 days.

At first nagtataka ako bakit di lumalamig. The MRV guy who installed the compressor and seems to be the head mechanic there told me na baka marumi yung condenser at ipalinis ko sa carwash. Tinaasan pa nila yung idle ng sasakyan ko, and had the gall to even say na sira sasakyan ko.

So eto ako, a complete noob sa car aircon, umuwi nang di man lang malamig ang aircon. After ipalinis yung condenser and making sure it's scrubbed clean, the next day wala na siya lamig at all. Kahit ilagay sa pinakamataas na setting walang lamig. Parang blower lang. I felt so bad, I treated them well and paid them well yet they rip me off! I will try to go back on Monday and have them fix this up properly.

[DBanker]

ibalik mo sir... and i think they can fix it properly... and pretty sure - they will...

[ReXBadBoy]

tama sir ibalik nyo sa kanila.. this magalit ka na sir, wag ka ngingiti...hindi acceptable yun isnag araw lang yun lamig samantala almost 15k ginastos mo sa kanila...

im looking for a reliable aircon shop also to maintain my aircon... ang layo lang kasi nuon pinagawaan ko dati sa may BF Las Pinas, nuon nagpapalit ako ng evaporator, ayun inabot naman ng 5 buwan bago nawalan ng lamig.. malamang bumigay na yun lumang expansion valve.. yun luma pa kasi pinkabit ko short yun budget ko nuon ehhh hehehe....

try ko kay mang mario sa likod ng sm north edsa... nawawalan na ng lamig oto ko pag tanghali at hapon... pag gabi ok naman na...

I was surfing this forum site to specifically find a good car aircon service shop dahil naloko na kami before when I chanced upon this thread. I respect others' opinions here pero for me and my family's experience, STAY AWAY FROM THESE TECHNICIANS SA MRV!!!! I dont want others to suffer the same fate.

Nagpagawa kami dito sa mga technician na ito sa tabi ng MRV sa may Monte de Piedad St. cor. E. Rodriguez Ave few months ago dahil ni-recommend ng tauhan ng MRV when we were buying parts from their main store na malapit na sa Aurora (dun sa bldg na tabi-tabi mga stores ng aircon at ref parts). Sabi sa amin may gawaan daw dun sa kabilang tindahan nila na nasa Monte de Piedad St. So nagpunta kami dun. Akala naman namin eh part ng MRV etong mga technician na ito kaya since tiwala kami sa MRV eh nagpagawa kami sa kanila. Ang dami nilang in-estimate na papalitan, up to the compressor. At yang Philip, yung payat nga ang kausap namin. Magaling mambola yang gagong yan.

Matapos palitan yung mga parts na sinasabi nila eh ayaw pa ring lumamig ng aircon namin. Di na nila alam ang gagawin. Tapos sabi nila eh defective daw yung compressor na kinabit nila. So sabi namin o di palitan nila yung kinabit nilang compressor. Ayaw daw palitan ng may-ari ng MRV. Of course we were surprised na ayaw palitan ng may-ari ng shop yung kinabit nya sa aming defective na part. Pinuntahan namin yung may-ari and nakipagtalo kami. Thats when we found out na hindi naman pala niya tauhan yang mga tao na gumagawa dyan sa kanto. Freelancer lang pala yang mga yan at nakikiusap lang na gumawa sa tabi ng tindahan nya sa may Monte de Piedad St at nagkukunwari pang mga tauhan sila ng MRV. Hindi raw papalitan ni MRV yung compressor na kinabit sa amin dahil hindi naman daw factory defective yun at ang nakasira dun eh yung nagkabit. Sabi nga sa amin ng may-ari na gusto na nga raw nyang paalisin yang mga yan kasi sya palagi napuputukan pag may nasira o naloko ang mga yan.

In short hindi sasagutin ni MRV kung may masira ang mga yan sa sasakyan mo. Plus, anytime eh pwede mawala yang mga yan kasi fly-by-nite lang ang dating nila kaya definitely eh wala kang makukuhang warranty sa trabaho nila. Napaaway pa tuloy kami sa may-ari ng MRV kasi nga dun kami tinuro. Buti eventually eh pinagbigyan kami nung may-ari at pinalitan nya yung nasira nila Philip na compressor kasi magdedemanda na kami eh.
Ayun, isang buwan lang wala na ang lamig. Nagpunta kami sa Banawe at dun na kami nagpagawa nung sumunod. Sabi dun sa banawe eh niloko raw kami dahil pinakita namin yung dati naming compressor na pinalitan eh matino pa naman pala. Iba naman pala sa system ang may diprensya. Doble pa tuloy gastos namin! Di na lang namin binalikan yung mga manlolokong yun at baka kung ano pa magawa namin.

Basta, ingat kayo sa mga freelancer na yan sa MRV sa may kanto ng Monte de Piedad at E. Rodriguez. Mga manloloko mga yan. BUYER BEWARE!

I think it is better to spend a little more sa isang legitimate na car aircon service shop na merong warranty ang trabaho at alam mo kung sino ang babalikan kapag palpak ang trabaho. At sa dami na ng competing car aircon shops today eh bagsakan na rin naman ang mga presyo.
