BMW Charging me 2k for engine stencil!!!

[boyscout]

Called prestige cars makati to have my engine no. stenciled for it is due for registration this month. The other person on the line told me that they would be charging me 2,000 Philippine pesos for eight copies of the engine stencil no.!!! WTF hard earned money for a lousy stencil. I still have half a month or so to DIY engine stencil any inputs would be appreciated. BTW the car is a 2002 E46 325.

Baka naman laser ang pang stencil nila... u know... :o

[FrankDrebin]

Just have it stenciled at any LTO branch. Php20 lang yan sa mga LTO boys.

[nicolodeon]

Go with FD's suggestion. If you're into DIY, you can do it yourself. You can download the LTO registration form at the LTO site.

[Flagg]

Never go to a BMW casa for anything...

[wrcastro_ph]

Dun sa LTO makati walang bayad ang Stencil .. basta sya na ang bahalang kumuha ng TPL insurance mo.

[boyscout]

problem is di rin nila makita kung saan yung engine no. nakalagay.

baka babaklasin pa nila makina mo para hanapin number kaya 2k ang singil na labor..

[baiskee]

walang problema yan sa AAP. ;)

baka naman yung CEO ng BMW ang mag-sstencil.

bwahaha

[herbularyo]

Hindi ba nakalagay sa owner's manual ang location ng engine and body number?

PhP 2,000 ? Grabe naman.

[BoEinG_747]

Pa stencil pa lang 2K na ,
eh di lalo pa pala kung mas mabigat
ang service na ipapagawa sa kanila

problem is di rin nila makita kung saan yung engine no. nakalagay.

or baka ito ang tunay na reason ,kaya ganon kalaki ang charge nila

[odell]

baka may kasmaang engine wash muna.. nyahahaha...

[boybi]

mahirap din i-stencil yung chassis no. ng previa. you have to remove the plastic cover between the windshield and the hood, and both wipers. pero free lang sa toyota casa, bigay lang ng tip dun sa magstencil. nagpa stencil na nga ako ng 3 sets the last time nagparegister ako.

[caloyski5]

hmm...yung mga emission testing center usually may kasama na stencil OR may additonal service for stenciling and does not cost 2000 petotet. hehehe


like what is said above, walang problema yan sa AAP ;) sakin nga last day na before penalty nailakad pa dun. swave.

baka waterman yung gagamiting pen sa pag-stencil. o kaya yung stencil may pirma na ni villeneuve pagbigay sayo.

ang hirap talaga hanapin ng engine no. masyadong masikip yung engine bay as in sobrang sikip na pag may nahulog kang bolt o nut di mo na makukuha at sealed naman yung ilalim with at least 15 or more screws to unscrew bago mo matangal.

Pag ganoon kahirap makakuha ng stencil, suggestion ko is damihan mo na ang copies, for future needs.

[seonadancing]

yung kumuha ng stencil nang kotse ko sa LTO mga limang ulit ginawa bago nya nakuha yun engine number. Malalim talaga yun and it's better kung i-lift na lang, which is what BMW is going to do.
