Siguro nga kaya madami nagpapagawa sa casa.

Sabagay iba kaso ko kasi may motorpool kami na may sarili mekaniko at mga gamit na bultuhan kung bilhin dahil sa pangangailangan ng mga sasakyan.

with age, comes money.
with money, comes affordable convenience.

actually matagal ko nang gusto itigil yung "casa maintenance" ko. simpleng car lang naman gamit ko.

kaso nag tanong ako sa Honda SPA, Speedlab (etc) kung magkano PMS nila tapos ang sagot sa akin X,XXX for "change oil" then tataas daw kung "may iba pa akong papagawa"

sabi ko, palitan nyo as per Honda service manual... di daw nila sinusunod yun. so sobrang hassle na for me kung iisipin ko pa kung anong gagawin sa car.

ngayon nga naiisip ko na pati interior detail sa Honda ko na pagawa... since tapos na PMS ko ng tanghali, pwede na din nila linisin sa hapon kesa naman ibang appointment pa sa detailer

[_Qwerty_]

same here.. after 3years.. sa Honda pa din ako nagpapa PMS.. based na lang sa odo, so nangyayari every 6 months eh change oil lang.. kasi mababa naman odo.. and every 12 months palit cabin / air filter na nabibili ko sa Lazada.. 600 lang yung combo..

may out of warranty services ang Honda na sobrang baba lang dati.. regular oil lang pinapalagay ko every 6 months.. 1255 lang dati change oil..



eto na updated price nila now:

methinks the casas are wizening up, pricing their pms competitively vis a vis independent shops'.

[_Qwerty_]

true.. kaya kung ang difference eh 500 or less.. mas prefer ko pa din sa casa, kasi una.. mas malapit sa akin.. 2nd, kilala ko na yung mga service advisor.. 3rd, genuine honda products pa gamit.. and last, may record pa sa service booklet.. para pag binenta mo.. you can ask for more.. kasi casa maintained..

yep.
i had my timing belt replaced via the casa. they had a promo, priced just a couple of hundring bucks higher than outside.
sigurado pang oem and with implied warranty.

And, if you go there all the time, they actually know who you are and you feel like a preferred customer, with perks like "Decaf po ba ulit, sir?"

Regarding casa implied warranty. For a PMS, i've only had a warranty claim for a PMS/casa service with Nissan (specifically North Edsa) and they honored it and did not charge me for the part that I claimed for because they have a post it/sticker on the wall of their cashier pertaining to service (3mos) and parts (6mos) if memory serves me right. And it wasn't something I had to go higher up the chain via reporting to email with paper trail, they just waived the parts replacement while only charging me for other works I had done/serviced.

I can't remember the inside of Toyota casa anymore if they have anything like it posted anywhere so I can't actually answer on that part.

For Mitsubishi, I ended up having a battery replacement claim because I had an actual battery test done by MMPC Q Ave showing the bars that my battery was good. I brought it home. didn't use it for 2 days, and when i tried using it, the battery was completely dead (there was nothing left running at all on the car when it was brought home just for information). Here, I had to go up the chain with attachments and emailed MMPC themselves so that Q Ave will do something about it. In the end, I ended up getting a free change oil (cost of oil only) waived for fully synthetic as sort of "equivalent cost" to the battery I needed to replace (for its remaining usable life as it wasn't really brand new battery when it went into casa).

For right now, our vehicles, mine and my parents. Since they are out of warranty and more than 5 years old, I do about 2 turns PMS outside casa (gas station being Shell or Unioil for change oil mainly) on the 3rd cycle (most probably a 3rd year) it is done by casa.

But we don't have this done outside casa (CVTF Replacement and/or Reset) as a matter of course.

Currently no idea how Geely casa has improved after sales as they did (or still do) have some parts availability issues as they had a surge of sales/new customers, confirmed by their own president that they will (or are) improving.
