CASA maintenance

[greenh]

Would just like to get your feedback on whether having your cars serviced at CASA worth the price they charge? Honda is charging me 12k for 80TKm for my city. Its quite steep...but if it is assured that best service talaga sila, ok lang. But if you guys know or can recommend someone or someplace that can do the same (if not better) service than CASA at cheaper rate, then please do. Yung nasa manual kasi major replacements yung sa 80Tkm.

Chieffy can do that better. Just get a list of what needs to be done (it's supposed to be in your owner's manual). www.pbase.com/chieffy

I don't like dealing with bigshot companies because you are not dealing with the mechanic himself. There was an instance na OJT ang napuntang mekaniko sakin (sa Kia Quezon Ave.). He didn't even have a clue na dalawa ang oil filter ng Besta. At least Kia allows you to watch your car as they work so I just forgave him on that mistake. Graduating pa lang ata kasi siya.

OTEP, where can I find chieffy? San ang shop niya?

Chieffy! Chieffy! Chieffy! You're recommended bro. Can you do a honda city as per what the manual instructs (maybe even more as the need arises)? I want to give my car a general inspection and recommendation as to what needs to be done or changed. Yakang-yaka ba?

[warbird]

ganun talaga instead of having it done outside baka ma doble lang gastos mo.they will change your timing belt,belt drives,oil seals,tensioner bearing,if it's manual trans,pressure plate,clutch disc and release bearing aside from the change oil and tune up.

[OTEP]

click mo ang www.pbase.com/chieffy nandun ang contact numbers and location niya. Actually malapit siya dito samin sa UST.

Tawagan mo na lng sa office. Busy kasi sa Ragnarok! hehehehehe.

Baka dumalaw ako dun later if sched permits.

[greenh]

ypu warbird its a MT. Are you also a honda CASA goer? Where's the best CASA you can recommend and who?
Yun nga eh, I'm not sure if going to a different shop other than honda will give me savings or more headaches. Ang habol ko pre is yung assurance na ok ang trabaho and worth it yung bayad. I've heard different stories na kasi about CASA jobs na under par eh...sayang lang yung bayad...

i can also vouch for Chieffy's gasoline station...

just have your vehicle assessed, then buy your parts, then bring back your car.

btw, what's included in the 80T PMS? ang mahal naman ata nun sobra... i think it should include the air filter, fuel filter, and oil filter at the least. have all your belts and fluid levels checked.

[greenh]

all of what you mentioned mazdamazda is also included as per the manual...
can chieffy also do the assessing?

[mazdamazda]

yup... btw, he also owns a SIR so he's familiar with hondas...

pwede din naman sa labas.. basta sa ingat lang at i-check mabuti kung ano yung parts na papalitan.. make a check list kung ano yung parts at fluids na kelangan..

marami talaga palit sa 80T PMS.. sa toyota eh palit ang engine oil, spark plug (kung gas), oil filter, fuel filter, differential oil, engine coolant, air cleaner, repack front wheel bearing, clean/adjust break (4), transmission oil, tapos kung ano-anong check na parang hindi din nila gawa lahat hehe .. mga 8K php din ito..

2211 MotorWorks at 2211 Leon Guinto St., Manila!!!

Dati mahilig din ako pumunta sa casa. Nabwisit lang ako kasi yung iba kailangan pang turuan since nag-aaral pa nga lang sila. No problem with oil changes (I do it myself when I have the time). Pero when it comes to bigger stuff, naku ako napapakamot ng ulo sa kanila, eh. Grrr...

So naghanap na lang ako ng marunong at experienced na mekaniko. Ok din ang mekaniko ni GlennSter, mas kumpleto nga lang sa gamit sina Chieffy. Cousin Ferdie magaling din dumiskarte iyan kaso by appointment (ganyan talaga kapag sikat - in demand!). Ayoko na magpaholdap sa casa.

And how can you ever build a good working relationship with your mechanic kung kada balik mo iba hahawak ng sasakyan mo?

[pissword]

sir greenh yan si sir chieffy ang pinupuntahan ng mga taga tsikot un mga wala na warranty na mga sasakyan hehe

so i guess makakasiguro ka naman dyan, wla naman bad feedback

[greenh]

Salamat sa mga suggestions mga pips!

To be totally honest, hindi kasi ako masyado ma-alam sa ins-and-outs of car maintenace and parts. I have to rely on the manual and take as truth whatever the CASA guys say. But I'm slowly trying to absorb lahat ng mga sinasabi sa mga forums like Tsikot.

TSARCOLEGREY:

Who do you recommend sa 2211 Motorworks? Do you have a particular mechanic that you trust?

By the way, I've heard na mahirap bumili ng parts for Honda cars...sa casa lang daw meron...if that's the case, how do I get hold of parts na kelangan palitan?

[artpogi]

greenh,

2211's specialty are Mitsu's, although I'm very sure they can also service your car but I would recommend Chieffy first (customer din nya ako) Kung gusto mo talaga sa 2211, I think Benny is the contact or probably the owner, not sure.

As for the Honda parts, my friend who has a honda buy his parts at Carpower at Taft Ave. near Pasay Rtd.

If you're coming from EDSA going towards Roxas Blvd., upon reaching corner of EDSA and Taft, turn right ka sa Taft. A few meters ahead in your right side you will see ATCO. Carpower is right beside ATCO.

Magsama ka ng isa pang driver, dahil medyo may kahirapan ang parking dyan.

can somebody please post the contsct number of 2211 motorwork...

thanks!!!

original honda parts are available mainly in some shops in banawe or in honda itself. replacement parts are available everywhere. for the timing belt, go with original as much as possible. for suspension parts, ok lang replacement basta good brand.
