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.

how about the oil filter? did Mario replaced it also? Where is the oil pan and wye strainer located?

baka naman may pinagdadaanan lang.....

di naman pwede na i compare sa casa yung labor.
wala naman binabayarang security or manager sa talyer or shop man.

anyway may kwento din ako...
tumawag galing taga pampanga problem nya is ayaw mag high ng OPTRA 2004 LS matic
mag high ng radiator fan nya,ask cya sakin kung ano gagawin. kasi pag nirekta naman relay ng high cya.
sabi ko since na nasa pampamga ka kay mario ka nalang punta ask mo cya kung ano idea nya since na malayo pag samin pa sa cainta.
then binigay ko yung number ni mario,
after mga 15min tawagcya ulit sakin sabi nya, boss dyan ko nalang dalin kahit na malayo kasi ang sungit nung mario eh.
sabi nya idea lang sana kung san pwede pangalingan para pag punta nya hahanda nya na yung pera pambili ng pyesa kung sakaling may papalitan.
anyway we have shop also ,gumagawa rin kami ng optra we help naman people di naman namin pinagkakait ang trabaho ika nga.

idea lang ha.
for those bossing na nagiilaw minsan ang oil indicator sa dash, kung ok naman level ng langis.
sa oil pump pag mainit na humihina ang pump nya or sa oil pan strainer nya. minsan may ng block na residue
oil mismo sa oil sending nya.

wag magtipid sa klase ng langis mas mahal pag kumatok promise.

bakit how much ba ang siningil nya?

interesting..

mike, kahit malayo ka, i think, i would prefer to go sa location mo, rather than kay mang mario. mejo, may mga na ririnig na rin akong nega comments regarding mang mario e.

eto ung problem(s) ng optra ls(manual) 2004 ko:

- speedometer/odometer - not working at all.
kaya ba yan sa shop mo ser?

also, i would like to set up these things on my optra:
angel eyes then, HID ung headlight. (super white pero ung legal pa na intensity ha.).
pwede ba yun, or, should i ask: kaya ba yun gawin ng shop mo?

thanks.

wala na ba akong ibang option aside kay mang mario for our captiva?

thanks!

**mikehunter1980** · November 24th, 2011 07:42 PM

optra lang sir ang specialty namin eh pero pwede natin yan i OBD 2 meron kami.

600 lang kasama yung isang gadget for checking alternator ,stater, battery checker.

yung yung odometer po at speedsensor wala po kaming v30 pang check sir eh. kung mapapa check muna sir sa casa then txt me yung trouble code. kung PO cya ng uumpisa. then kung may sirang sensor di iprovide nalang namin.

pero speedsensor at yung odometer kung di sa sensor sa tranny sa panel po mismo.
hehehe di po kami gumagawa ng headlight sir eh cencya na po.

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...
