But buy these from auto supply shops that sell OEM products (for the filters and parts) and engine oil that meets or exceeds the CASA engine oil. After much canvassing among casa shops and auto shops, more than 2x ang price mark up sa CASA for parts. Also, the CASA tends to offer Other Services that are not needed but added income for them. Avoid these offers. Just the basic PMS as per the manual. The labor price of CASA is comparable to the labor price at refutable car shops. Also, CASA technicians know your vehicle better than mechanics of car shops.
Just note that not all CASA allows the owners to bring their own parts and oil. Some do allow but charge a corkage fee (5%-20%). But there are CASA that allow without corkage fee.
But for repairs and maintenance not dealing with the engine and tranny (the two most expensive components of the car), you can have these done outside the casa. After i had the CASA inspect, estimate and suggested some repairs, I had some of the front suspension parts of my car replaced at a shop in Banawe, more than half the price of the estimate at CASA with still OEM parts installed.
