So, What's The Deal With Chevrolet Optra and Aveo?

GM has incredibly poor customer service, ill-trained technicians, and a management that doesn't care about its customers.

Chineck namin ng dad ko kung may distilled water ang battery at ang nakita namin WALA NA UBOS NA ANG DISTILLED WATER ng battery..Wala talagang kwenta ang GM lalo na sa pagservice hindi nila inispect kung marami pa ang distilled water ng battery o wala na..

naku, palitan nyo na lang kaya yung battery nyo into a 'maintenance-free' battery, so you dont have to worry about checking the level of distilled water anymore. kung minsan nyo lang nagagamit baka dahil din dun kaya naubos ang battery ninyo..

Pero nung nilagyan na namin ng distilled water at tinulak umandar naman at may indicator siya at lumabas "ok" pa.Ganun din ang nangyari sa Nissan Escapade Van namin nung nilagyan lang namin ng distilled water ok pa naman ang battery..Sa tingin ko hindi siya maintenance free na battery kase nabubuksan namin yung takip eh..

Only for the looks, I'd go for the Optra rather than the Lynx but with the long thread of complaints ... sayang pogi pa naman. Then again, kaya siguro mura dahil sa low build quality.

I tried to get the the battery of my optra replaced with a bigger one thats maintainance free but the battery holder of the optra is so small na yung maliliit lang na battery kasya. and takot rin ako ma void yung warranty and periodic maintainance niya if i get it replaced. i dont know nga kung kasama sa warranty yung battery. but i would probably change the battery once the natapos na yung 2 years periodic free maintainance nya.

As long as the battery is the right size and amperage, it should not void your warranty. It would void the warranty on the battery, but that's it.
