    3rd party kanto kanto A/C shop - no need to have my A/C cleaned kasi may cabin filter daw

    pero when I asked sub-zero - they said na iba pa din linis nila



    what do you guys think?
    my 1.12 pesos' worth,
    "do not service the aircon if there's no problem with it."

    a couple of years ago, i finally consented to have my 2005 innova's aircon cleaned for the first time, even as there was nothing wrong with it, and i regularly serviced the aircon filter.
    upon opening up, i found out that the evaporator's fins were still squeaky-clean. "there was nothing to clean."

    our 2003 altis naman, was showing poor cooling.
    upon opening, we found out that over two-thirds of the evaporator's fins, were clogged by dirt.
    this particular car had no aircon filter.

    Sa Mazda 3 club may mga bad experience with sub zero. After daw mag pa cleaning, after a few days nawala yung lamig. So ofcourse bumalik sila to complain. Bastos daw kausap yung may ari. Sasabihin na hindi daw nila kasalanan. Sira na daw in the first place & wag daw sisihin sa kanila. Kahit umabot pa daw sila ng korte, panalo daw sila.

    Nataon siguro. Wala naman silang baklas ng evaporator. Alis glovebox lang at blower motor, para ma access ng spray ang evaporator.

    Pero iyon kahit nasa tama, hindi sana bastos.

    there's two ways i see it,
    first, is there some thing unique with the mazdas, making them prone to leaking after servicing...? and
    sa tagal na niya sa business, bat hindi alam nang aircon shop, na ganun nga? gawan sana niya nang paraan, instead of simply criticizing the car.

    from personal experience,
    shop owners who say, "wala silang kasalanan" don't know enough of the technical and non-technical aspects of their business.
    instead of hand-washing, they should offer possible solutions.

    "this is what we did, sir... when we fixed it and returned the freon pressure to normal, you probably sprung a leak at some other part of your aircon, as a result of the increase to normal pressure. it's something we see from time to time that's really no one's fault. we can trouble-shoot it and offer solution, but as it was not in our original work coverage, we may have to charge more. i hope you understand, sir.". or something to that effect.

    then again,
    there's always the costumer from hell...
