Speedy Fix. Super taga rin pala

[jamescalderon]

I got an old sentra from an online selling site. then dinala ko sa speedyfix. they changed belts CV and stuffs. charged me around 15k.
I have a few budget and I really trusted them so much, na iniwan ko nalang yung car then paid the receipt no questions asked.

To my surprise i found out that not only the parts are way overpriced labor also is too expensive.

here are some.

clutch cable 800 and labor 600. real price from auto supply is only 450 and labor is just easy most shops would charge 100 to 150 pesos.
clean TB 1500.. nothing happens, idle is still sky high.
CV joint 2500 and labor 1500, price from auto supply is 850 to 1200. most shop would charge at most 500 pesos.
change oil mineral 2500 pesos while you can have same service for 1,300.

Kala ko ba reasonable price? ano reasonable doon? They just charged me double even triple on parts.

its business bro...

if I can, I always DIY.... its free, plus you learn... and no waiting time

[Syuryuken]

ako tanong muna bago gawa ayaw na ayaw ko yung magtatawaran kami pag tapos na.

[crazy_boy]

Yung oil baka naman Royal Purple ginamit kaya ganyan presyo?

Apple to apple ba comparison mo sa parts?

[dr. d]

charge it to experience. they did nothing illegal. you, on the other hand, learned a valuable lesson: ASK FIRST and compare.
don't be ashamed. we all did something like that when we were starting. wala lang internet noon...
DIY? only if you know how..

[jaymd]

speedyfix slots right in between the casa and your usual neighborhood talyer pricewise so dont expect super cheap parts and labor. pwede ka naman bumili ng parts sa banawe and pakabit sa kanila para makatipid pa ng konti. expected may patong na pag sila pinakuha mo ng piyesa. sprinter sa banawe ok din kaso parang sarado na tuwing dadaan ako

[shadow]

you should have ask first.

DIY? only if you know how..

Yep.

There's another side to the coin that is DIY. "Destroy it yourself."

[jamescalderon]

yes paps apple to apple comparison

Nagpagawa ka pero hindi ka muna nagpa-estimate? Tapos nung binigay na nila yung receipt sayo nagrereklamo ka na mahal? Nakakatawa ah. Ikaw na nga nagkamali, sila pa sinisi mo. Wala naman silang ginawang mali if you look at it. They did what needs to be done then they charged their usual prices.

Maiinis ako sakanila kung may nilagay sila sa resibo na hindi naman nila ginawa, pero wala. Hindi naman yan talyer na aabutan mo nalang, dude that's speedyfix.

Kung napipikon ka sa presyuhan nila, dapat hinde mo nalang pinasok kotse mo. Pero ayun nga, mali ka e, hindi ka nagtanong.

"... I really trusted them so much ..."

Trusted in terms of what? That they're going to have cheap ass prices? Dapat nung nakita mo palang yung establishment ng speedyfix at yung lugar alam mo na that they won't be as cheap as you think.

What's not reasonable for you might not be reasonable for them. I can get cheaper parts outside known shops but I opt not to, and I don't go here whining about it. Because I know they're running a business and as long as they're doing okay in my standards, I will pay their prices.

Next time think before you decide. Charge this to experience.

Nakakatawa naman talaga eh. :hysterical:

Babanat ng....

Eh bakit hindi siya dun nagpagawa sa "most shops" ?

[ans_lim168]

I also let Speedyfix service my car before.

They will let you know what the scope of work is to be done, this is the time I would ask them how much is the cost. If the price looks unreasonable then you could back out, or ask for other options. Their prices are a little higher but that's business.

Charge this to experience.

I agree with most of what has been said. I'll chime in with my two cents on the matter.

We, as car owners, always have the final say on whom we entrust the maintenance of our vehicles to. I went to Speedyfix earlier this month, and asked them to sort out a strange noise I heard on the car that manifested above 60 km/h. They said something was wrong with my transmission. However, the transmission was freshly torn down and rebuilt by another garage I trust, a few months prior to my visit.

What did I do? I asked for a second opinion.

As it turned out, it was my aging, balding tires that were the culprit. Now, this diagnosis doesn't discredit Speedyfix in any way, as "weird noises" are one of the hardest things to diagnose properly. They gave their best guesstimate, but I chose not to act on their findings and sought other mechanics' educated opinions.

Before a wrench is turned or a nut is loosened, a garage's duty is to inform you of what they think needs to be done, and how much it will cost. In that regard, Speedyfix acted as expected. Whether or not the end user is willing to pay the cost for maintenance is really up to him/her.

Don't shoot the messenger, folks.

*TS salamat sa feedback sir. Charge it to experience na lang. Akala ko rin "competitive" ang pricing nila compared sa casa.

Kung sa casa nagpaayos si TS, magkano kaya cost for the same parts & service?

[vinj]

In most shops I've encountered, it's usually cheaper to buy your own parts and have them do the repairs. For Speedyfix, they're cheaper than the CASA when I've compared labor prices but of course they're not comparable to your backyard or tabi-tabi mechanic in terms of prices. We have work done there from time to time and it's always easy to get a price quote from them and you can decide to have the work done or take your business elsewhere. Wala naman tinatago and they're not like Rapide who'll tell you all sorts of nonexistent or exaggerated horrors that need to be fixed kuno.

What shops did you compare prices with after the work was done?

[testament11]

Nope, hindi sila over charging. Tama lang IMO ang charge considering hindi sila basta bastang talyer lang. Been there several times at madalas kong paggawa sa kanila for my two Pajeros ay change oil lang naman. Tsaka sila doon, kahit hindi galing sa kanila ang piyesa, eh ok lang sa kanila. Labor lang ang charge. At tama ang sabi ng lahat dito, it's your call kung papaggawa mo ang sasakyan mo o hindi sa kanila once they give you their quotation on parts na possbile nilang galawin.

And oh, its not that we defend Speedyfix here because of their good reputation, but we're just stating na walang talagang mali talaga sa ginawa nila.

[OTEP]

And same ba yung parts nila vs sa mga cheaper parts you canvassed sa auto supply? Baka mas mura pero inferior quality replacements naman. It is normal for shops to put a mark up on prices on parts, its one way they earn. They are not a charity.

Ang masama eh yung shop na hindi naman sira pero sasabihin sira para ipagawa mo. You will RAPIDly lose money with those shops. Hehe

[Retz]

verify and chek first before you complain.
