2011 Chevy Spark

[Spark1.2MT_Bj]

sir san po kaya ang problema kapag napark ng 1 week ang sasakyan, walang gamitan, ayaw nya mag start, pero pag everyday naman ginagamit, ok sya...sa battery or alternator po ba ang sira nito? thanks!

battery po (charge nyo lang battery)

battery po (charge nyo lang battery)

salamat po sa input sir...pinadala ko kahapon sa casa ung spark, pero na-void yung warranty ng battery ko, kasi pinalitan ko yung head unit ng pioneer brand. talaga bang kasama ang battery sa mavovoid? hindi naman china brand ang pinalit ko, hindi naman siguro makakasira yung pioneer dahil maganda naman quality control nila. kasi kung papapalitan ko sa casa yung battery, at magbabayad ako, eh di pag nasira ulit ung battery, wala na naman warranty dahil sa head unit? talaga bang kasama ang battery sa mavovoid pag pinalitan yung head unit?

saan po kayo nagpapalit ng headunit? kung sa casa po kc hindi po ma-void warranty nyo pero kung hindi po sa casa, yun ang gagawin nilang dahilan para ma void ang warranty. at kung bibili kayo ng battery, para maka mura kayo huwag po kayo bumili sa casa tutal void na warranty nyo

Hello all! I'm planning to buy 2013 Spark 1.2 L automatic. Can you tell me advantages/disadvantages of this as compared to other car models like Mirage, etc? Can you also advise me of advantages/disadvantages between 1.0 L and 1.2 L variants? Honesty is best policy hehe thanks guys!

To those thinking of purchasing a SPARK or a Chevrolet for that matter.
I just wish to share my experience with my SPARK.
A few weeks back, the SPARK had a problem. It wont
accelerate. Sent it to casa (Quezon Ave). They told me
that the problem is the caliper of the brake right front wheel.
In layman's term, the way I understood it, is nakakagat yung
brake even kahit di ako nagbe-break. To make long story shorter,
SPARES ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THREE WEEKS OR MORE BEFORE IT COMES.
Situations like this, kind of makes you look at other brands as better options.
I just wish none of you would experience what I am experiencing now with Chevrolet.

We need a law that makes dealers where the problem is because it is a LEMON that they provide a rental car for to given time to wait. Just like in the US.

My Chevrolet Spark is now entering its 3rd week in the Quezon Avenue Casa.....
The Spark has been with them for about 3 weeks already.
NO SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE(I called Chevrolet Que Ave last Saturday)

Anybody planning to get a car from Chevrolet, THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE.
Just stating facts.

Sir, wrong move. Why didn't you bring it to another Chevy casa which can perform better than Quezon Avenue? Mabagal talaga kumilos ang Quezon Avenue. Sa Trailblazer thread and at the FB page of Chevy Club Philippines Trailblazer group, we highly recommend Chevy Commonwealth. Mabilis sila gumawa and service is top notch. Gagawan pa nila ng paraan para mapabilis ang pagdating ng parts.

Can you still pull your car out? Baka you can bring it to another CASA ... malay mo, magulat si Quezon Ave and suddenly kinabukasan ayos na.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will take note of Chevrolet Commonwealth.
I need a seven seater soon and was considering the Trailblazer.
In fact, my wife loved it. And we were looking forward to purchasing one.
But after this experience.... NO SPARE PARTS FOR THREE WEEKS.... NOW GOING INTO ITS FOURTH WEEK....
I am inclined to look elsewhere than Chevrolet.
Sayang, ang ganda pa naman ng product/s nila.

Don't let 1 bad experience from a Chevy dealer hinder you from buying a Trailblazer. Just to give an example, one Trailblazer owner had a problem with his alternator. Supposed to be, the alternator will be available 1 month and 3 weeks. Pero nagawan ng Chevy Commonwealth ng paraan. His alternator was replaced in 3 weeks. As you can see, depende pa rin talaga sa mga dealer kung paano ka nila aasikasuhin. Kay Commonwealth talagang mararamdaman mo ang personal touch kasi talagang aasikasuhin ka. At ang maganda pa, kilala namin sa club ang owner ng Commonwealth mismo. Member pa namin.

Kaya ayun, don't let one 1 bad experience from a lousy Chevy dealer hinder you from buying a Trailblazer. If you want, I'll help you get a unit agad. Ilalapit ko sa owner ng Commonwealth. Di ka na pipila pa.

[albert_b]

Agree with numbah5. There are some dealers na notorious talaga.

[nfajardo]

Thank you so much for sharing your insights. I appreciate the inputs you have provided. Regarding changing casa...well...Quezon ave advice that the car should not be moved and used to prevent damage to the unit.

I am very thankful to the help and suggestions of tsikot member numbah5. However, my wife and I have already set our sights on another SUV from a another carmaker.

Maybe you can PM me that SUV. I have experienced the 2 closest competitors of the Trailblazer and I still own one of them. I can tell you my experiences with the 2 if you like.

Hi. question po, ang tagal kasing irelease ng spark ko, laging wala yung color, at walang definite time, san po bang dealer ang mabilis ang release

[nfajardo]

My Chevrolet Spark is now entering its 4th week in the casa of Quezon Ave.
Still NO SPARES AVAILABLE at the moment.
Can you imagine 4 weeks downtime with your car?
I've had Hyundai before.
I bought Toyota also.
I have never experienced this type of downtime with any of the two car makers.
I guess there is always a first time.
I pray that you guys planning to buy a Chevrolet or already owns one does not have to go thru the experience of
what I am experiencing now.
In all fairness, they have wonderful products.
I just could not say the same for service I am getting now.
Too sad.

Tintin of Chevy Philippines just told me that your brake calipers are already here.

Tintin of Chevy Philippines just told me that your brake calipers are already here.

Numbah5, thank you so much for the info.
Tintin informed me about 3 days ago regarding the arrival of the spare.
Today I called Chev Quezon Ave.
They told me the car is repaired and ready.
They also informed during the initial assessment of the damage 27 days ago that I had to pay for
the brake pad that was damaged by the caliper.
In fairness to Chevrolet Quezon Ave, they told me today that I do not have to pay for anything.
The caliper and brake pads are free of charge.

Numbah5, once more, thank you for your concern on my issue.

Buti na lang Tintin assisted you in your concern. If she didn't enter into the picture, hanggang ngayon di pa ayos ang Spark mo at magbabayad ka pa. Lesson learned: avoid casas that can't repair your car agad.

Kaya next time try to bring your Spark to Commonwealth. Iba talaga ang service nila. Top notch. Look for Grethy there, aasikasuhin ka nila. Free juice and coffee, free wifi and free movie pa. You can also watch how your Spark is being serviced tapos makakausap mo pa ang owner/GM nila since very hands on siya sa operations. Paikot-ikot lang siya around the dealership.

Hi Guys, I'm planning to get the spark next month for my daily use, which is better 1.0? or the 1.2? Which is most fuel efficient? My other otions are picanto or the grand i10.

route: purely city driving from mindanao ave to eastwood or commonwealth to east wood.

TIA :D
