    kung under warranty pa, dapat sa casa magpagawa kasi kapag nagkaproblem yung car mo pede pa mapalitan yung mga parts na under warranty... halos pareho na din ang price ng casa and rapide with regards sa parts sometimes mas mataas pa si rapide... tapos ang ilalagay pa sayo ni rapide ay replacements parts unlike sa casa na original... ang ok lang sa rapide ay yung "life time warranty" ng brake pads nila

    Nako Nako NAko...CASA na ako..based on my experience, all the repairs that i've done for my car actually got fixed when I tried bringing it to CASA. I have a Honda SIR 2000, It got oil leaks,gaskets needed to be replaced and other parts.. Before my friends said that just bring it to other Car repair shops since CASA might be overpricing when it comes to parts and labor, when i did that, it gave me nothin but hassle, i spent couple of thousands for nothing, it still got oil leaks and all that crap.good thing is you can actually wait for the car to be fixed and watch the mechanic do it but the problem is its never gonna be accurate because on specific parts of car manufacturers, there are something that mechanics from CASA know that mechanics from outside does not know. So its still a good idea to bring your car to CASA. Leaving your car at CASA for a few days is worth it than watching them fixing it when it can't be fixed. It also depends on the CASA branch ofcourse.

    Casa na lang. Mas may peace of mind pa ako kaysa sa Rapide... sa dami ng negative feedbacks dyan, naku no way! baka sa ibang reputable shop na lang wag lang sa Rapide.

    Thanks to TSIKOT threads..

    NOW I know why I need to pull-out our company cars FLEET Services ( 12 cars).
    RAPIDE is good only for change oil jobs..

    OTHER repair minor and major jobs always have back job and causing other damage/s.

    pag na inform ka na ng casa na the repair for your car has been made and it is already for pick-up and still you wont be able to get it, i think thats the time that they would charge you for "storage fee".

    But if they are still looking for parts or still on the process of repairing your ride, then there should be no storage fee no matter how long your ride stays with them.

    I have never had any problems with rapide, at least with rapide you get to see your vehicle actually being worked on. Rapide San Antonio is very professional and reasonable. I would definitely continue to do business with them!

    Cartech Taguig or Bridgestone Taguig. Gusto palitan rack end, tie rod, shocks, shock mount stab link at stab clamp bushing worth 22 lahat dahil me kalampag sa ilalim 2014 Vios ko. Buti na lang nagpa 2nd opinion ako sa JP wheels. Found out na maluwag yung stab link lang. Hinigpitan pa mga ibang kailangan higpitan. Just gave the mechanic 300 pesos. Di niya na pina charge sa shop. Grabe mga ganyan na shop!

    Bridgestone Sta Rosa, a mechanic pirated from a nearby talyer does not know how to replace the glass cover beside the engine of a civic, he was trying to disasseble the whole engine, but stopped when he couldn't turn some of the nuts, a fellow said he thinks pwede tuklapin at palitan yung cap. I brought it to Honda, turned out the unsure mechanic was right.

    it's not really "common".
    none of our FWDs ever had to have it replaced, even after over 10 years.

    Yung ibang design ng lower arm suspension walang bushing na replaceable.. yung common ngayon eh yung mukhang engine support style na bushing.. once cracked.. you need to replace the whole arm..

    Irregardless of orientation..as long as you have a stabilizer link.. bushings are wear and tear parts especially if you drive uneven roads, street humps and uneven parking
