NEW: Chevrolet Parts and Maintenance Costs (2012)

[numbah5]

Bakit kaya ang bilis ng maintenance sa Philippines? Yung sonic ko AT Gas ang service nya 30k km pa ang sabi ng dealer. Nung una ayaw ko maniwala pero halos lahat ng kilala ko na may kotse.. 30k daw talaga ang service. Di kaya negosyo lang ng mga dealers sa Philippines yan?

From what country are you referring to sir? Here in the Philippines, the reason why there are short intervals for PMS is the fuel quality. As you know, Philippine law states the use of Euro 2 standards for fuels, although the small oil companies are already using Euro 3-4 standard fuels. The problem nga lang, the small oil companies have fewer fuel stations than the Big 3 oil companies (Petron, Shell and Caltex), that is why the majority of motorists especially in the provinces tend to use the Euro 2 standard fuels of the Big 3.

Sorry I forgot to mention my location. I am in switzerland.
The sonic is my first brand new car and i do not know anything about car system maintenance. So pwede nga na nasa gasolina, pero kung sa shell lang mag pa gas? Lets say na certified euro3? Would it change anything? Kasi yung standards are for emissions naman diba?
At ibig sabihin mahal talaga ang gas sa philippines, kasi low quality na nga ang mahal pa.

Thanks!

Shell is still using Euro 2 standard fuels. No it won't change the PMS interval. Until the Big 3 oil companies here is still using Euro 2 standard fuels, PMS intervals are still shorter than countries using Euro 3-6 standard fuels.

i think hindi lang fuel ang factor, kasama din yung oil (synthetic, mineral)...

Since major damage na yan, just let the casa repair it and the insurance shoulder the costs. Since sabihin na nating mura nga sa 3rd party shops, pero meron silang nakalimutang ayusin na part pala ng warranty, baka mavoid ang warranty. Ako basta major damage sa casa talaga basta magkeclaim ako sa insurance. Pag scratches lang sa 3rd party shops ko pinapagawa.

regarding sa mga cases na ganito, do we have to go to the casa where we bought the unit or we can also go to the nearest one?...sorry OT yata - just wanna know kasi sa Dagupan kami thanks guys!

Go to the nearest one sir pero since the owners of Chevrolet Commonwealth also owns Isuzu Dagupan, I think you can claim the insurance (if you will be getting in-house insurance of Chevrolet Commonwealth) there even if the repair estimate came from Chevrolet Dagupan

Thanks sir numbah5
I'll see what is the suitable insurance
My bank advised me that I have free 1yr comprehensive insurance with AOG

Any new updates on PMS and other parts replaced, especially for TrailB and Colorado owners?

Good evening sirs. i saw from the posts that different chevy dealers are owned by different people. let's say i got one from chevy north edsa (Caleb's), can I go and have my PMS at chevy alabang (Junno's)? magkakaproblema ba ako sa mga warranty claims?
