    Who is Mario? Is he or was he ever connected with Chevy or any Chevy dealers? Does he have a shop in West Ave.? Is he knowledgeable with all Chevy models in the Philippines? How much does he charge for his services? Meron din ba siya parts sa shop niya? Pwede rin ba magdala ng sariling gamit like oils and filters? Details please.

    Yes, he was. In fact he maintains my optra 2004 & Captiva 2009.
    And what's good to him now is that he has now his own scanner to
    further trouble-shoot electronic issues.

    I'm among one of those satisfied customer of Mario which began in
    my Optra 2004 when I got it 2nd hand. And instead of casa (which will
    cost me much), Mario's expertise in chevy models saved me money more.

    One good example is when I was driving NLEX in one rainy day at 93+K mileage at a
    speed of 120kph until suddenly my 'check engine oil' signal pop-up in my dash. I stop
    and check 3X to be sure with some counter-advise from petron & shell, still, the check
    engine oil lights-ON. I drove my Optra cautiously at a speed of 50-65kph until I finally
    reach chevy quezon ave. Casa checked and the result according to them was engine oil
    pump that will cost me 14k labor+parts, wow!

    I'd decided to call Mario to have a second opinion which according to him, it will just
    be a matter of cleaning the pump (actually, its not the pump to clean but the small
    strainer along the small pipe pumping the oil).

    Mario and his team opened the oil pan part of the engine, pull over the pump system
    and its true, 'barado' ang strainer. stocked oil parang putik kaya walang umiikot na oil
    which resulted to the 'check engine oil' to signal.

    The end result, it only cost me 6.5k including the new oil + 2 other parts.

    Now, my optra is again 'problem free' and is now running at 100+k mileage...

    Try, I'm sure you'll also be satisfied and you'll likewise save money.
    You'll spend your money at the right part and correct reason.

    He just scanned my Optra for FREE a week ago. He helped me correctly by way of his expertise kaya I'm helping him now to further expand his network of customers which at the same time will help other Chevy owners find their solution.

    Sorry for a late reply.

    Have tried the services of Mario. he replaced the timing belt and water pump of my 2005 Optra LS. Saved some money and there seems to be no problem with the car. Since it was my first time to try him out because of the good reviews here, my only concern then was he keeps texting me how my car is doing. Now my cars compressor died on me and have asked Mario for the budget. Will cost me around 17K for the change of compressor.

    yes. dats right. ganun din sakin dati. he keeps on texting. ako naman e di keep on answering lang tutal good to go naman
    ang takbo.

    what i find with that follow-up style of Mario was that, pagnakita niya na medyo oldies na yung chevy mo, me mga other
    possible trouble pa na maaring mangyari but not dun sa kagagawa niya, kundi sa ibang parte ng sasakyan. syempre, komo dating
    taga chevy projected pa niya yung ibang pedeng masira o palitin base sa tinakbo ng kotse.

    nga pala, yung compressor ang nagpamahal, nasa 13.5-14.5k ang bago nyan SANDEN brand ata yun. sa casa, yung stock na
    sinasabi ng casa 24k more or less. eh pagnagpalit ng compressor baba lahat to check baka me leaks. tapos down din ang freon.
    eh yung freon pag bago nasa 900p din. so pag sinuma mo, sa tingin mo mahal pa ba singil ni Mario?

    syempre, kasama yun. kase before mo pede baklasin yung pan need to drain muna ng liquid which is the engine oil.
    pan location is always at the bottom part of any engine, and inside you'll find the strainer. the job concerns an expert.

    my optra was a 2004 model...

    the warranty of my 2008 optra 1.6LS matic will expire this feb. i am looking for an alternative mechanics to bring it to. the recommendation for mario seems good.

    quick question: the battery warning and handbrake lights on the instrument panel keeps on popping (intermittent) on even when i am driving. i am sure that the handbrake is not engaged and my battery is new. what could be the cause? thanks.

    check your brake fluid level, it can trigger the handbrake light. but since its intermittent, it can be an electrical glitch. GM = get mechanic or grand malfunction

    casa finally found the problem. the alternator is overcharging (whatever that means) so they just replaced the alternator. good thing i still had a month to go before the warranty expiration.

    I have read all the comments about Mario, it seems he is a good mechanic, I hope he can fix my optra 06. I got it on 2nd hand and sabi ng pinagbilhan ko minor lang yung lagatok if lumiliko but then since I got it, lumala kahit pag mag stop may knocking sound.I tried to consult some mechanics some say na ball joint pero napalitan na, and other says Velocity bearings pero ok naman po.We also tried replacing the shock absorber infront,Until now hindi pa rin mahanap yung lagatok na yun.Any idea?

    Pag may lagatok pag lumiliko pwede rin sa steering rack end. Pa check mo rin ang stabilizer link mo. Go to Mang Mario kayang kaya niya yan.
