    Or threaten to change dealerships. There are dealers who like to take advantage of people (note: bad apples for Honda, Toyota and Ford, too). That doesn't mean all of them do.
    E kaso nga hindi naman yung dealer ang problema, HARI ang nag-dictate ng change sa pms schedule at naniniguro sila na walang masisirang engine within that 5 years.

    I know there are hyundai dealerships out there that say that they do not follow the 3 month rule, only the 5000km. What guarantee do they offer that HARI will still honor the warranty when and if ever there will be a warranty claim? Will they do the repairs for free if HARI refuses to do so? I seriously doubt it.

    I already changed dealerships. It's called Kia xxx. Mura na ang PM wala pang corkage sa parts. And the customer is always right!

    Fukc HARI!

    just had my tucson in for 30,000kms a couple of weeks ago. based on the "three month rule", dapat april pa ako nag pa check up. but i average only about 6-7,000 kms per year for my car kaya i got delayed by another three months.

    during my 30k check up, i was able to get a warranty claim for a defective part (no questions asked). i also asked them to check and repair a defective fog lamp switch (that i actually added as an accessory bought and installed outside the dealership). they also fixed the problem no question asked (even if technically di dapat to covered ng warranty).

    so in conclusion, either i'm really lucky with the service of my casa (hyundai q ave), or maybe i've built a good relationship with them. i think the casa people also size you up if you know what you're talking about, if you take care of your car, or if you're just an arrogant a-hole altogether when you make warranty claims. some just really like to take advantage. i wouldn't really blame HARI for this kasi it's the dealers that make money out of service (if they can get you to pay, why would they do something for free?).

    with our previous car (civic FD), i followed the 6 month rule/10,000kms. but i regret doing this because we ended up doing 50,000kms service with only 30,000kms on the odometer. so even with the longer km interval, ended up paying even more (and the car had a lot of problems after warranty ended anyway). So i learned from this and now i'm smarter when it comes to PMS for my car.

    btt, among the three i would pick the Accent first with the Jazz second. best value for money hatches i think with enough size and space for a small family.
