    mga tsong, pasensya na. wala akong masyadong alam about car repair/maintainance, pero kasi yung aircon na auto ko matagal ng sira, Dec05 pa sya. pinatingnan ko sa aircon specialist nung isang araw lang, kelangan na daw palitan ng compressor... lahat lahat daw... compressor, freon, bearing etc...

    P15,900 daw ang brandnew, P9500 ang surplus (with warranty), kasama na labor.

    nagtanong sa ibang mekaniko dito sa laguna, ganun din ang suggestion kelangan na daw palitan at halos same din ang estimated na magagastos..

    my alam ba kayo sa evangelista or makati area na murang brandnew na compressor? okay lang din bang kumuha ng surplus?

    1994 Lancer glxi nga pala auto ko.

    salamat!

    Kakapalit ko lang kay Mang Mario nyan for 1/3 of the price you mentioned. Check the Mario reyes thread. May warranty pa na 6 months on the compressor.

    dude pareho tayo ng auto. kaya panigurado Sanden TRS series yung compressor mo. Mahal yung quote sa iyo na P15,900. Kuha ko lang sa bnew compressor e P10,500 last year. I would suggest punta ka sa HM Marketing sa E. Rodriguez Cubao, Q.C. or meron din sila branch sa may Marcos Highway sa may Santolan, Pasig City.

    mahal naman nung quote sa yo sa surplus. you can get a surplus compressor with warranty for 3K lang. marami sa evangelista. tanong ka sa rotary doon baka may stock sila na compatible sa kotse mo.

    imhp. if you have dough to spare and you are still going to use your car for a long time, i suggest that you go on brand new. usually yang problem dyan sa surplus, pagkatapos ng warranty sira na rin yan. and its time for you to get another surplus compressor... this will be more expensive for you in the long run compared in getting a brand new compressor with a one year warranty. usually, those brand new aftermarket compressors will again last for around 5 years.

    i've previously posted here some of my previous experiences in using surplus compressors...

    Totally agree with Happy_Gilmore, been there done that, save a little more and get a brand new A/C compressor.

    I used to have two surplus mitair compressors, out of curiousity, kinarne namin ng kakilala ko na A/C tech na dating MitAir technician, then pinagsamasama namin yung mga parts na okay, then binuo ulit namin, hindi din tumagal, mga 8 months lang yata tumagal.

    Ang pagbili ng surplus A/C compressor eh tsambahan talaga, kapag tinesting nyo okay, pero hindi tumatagal. Pero kapag naswertihan mo, eh meron din naman tumatagal, but I would still recommend getting a brand new compressor.

    If you have a Sanden compressor, then you're in luck because it can be overhauled, pero kung Mitair yan malas mo.

    hey, salamat po sa replies.

    eto nga pala yung details ng estimate.

    replacement of compressor, expansion valve, filter drier.
    Flushing, vacuum & recharging of freon.

    P9,450 - surplus
    15,500 - brandnew

    sa evangelista kaya mas mura brand new? meron ba kayong mare recommend sa Makati/Pasay area?

    Ang solusyon sa problema mo ay si Mang Mario! I just went through that thread, and there are sooo many people recommending him. Visit the thread dahil it has a lot of testimonials, actual experiences, and prices for different problems fixed. Competent and honest daw sila, and gives the best bang for the buck.

    Here is a shortcut I copied from the thread ... to get there, courtesy of our fellow tsikoteers:

    "address is 146 ft santiago"
    "eto txt ni mrs mario (?) - 09193938197"
    "here is is contac t number... 9201708..."

    "after sm city sya sir if you're coming from cubao. turn right ka sa stoplight after ng sm. then left ka sa bukidnon st (4th corner from axis market). then right ka sa fort santiago st. dire-diretso na yun. pag me nakita kang basketball court sa gitna ng daan lampasan mo pa yun. mahaba kasi fort santiago and medyo nasa dulo sila mang mario."

    "bukas sila on weekends. yun nga lang kelangan agahan mo kasi ang dami talaga nagpapagawa sa kanila."

    "pag saturday - they're open till 5PM; pag sunday ata half day lang sila..."
