    Avoid this shop like a plague. My mistake was that i left my car to be serviced,coz I had to spend time with my family that day. They said it would take 6 hours to fix it. I had no choice but to have the car fixed at the closest shop because the mechanic who services my car won't be availble for another 2 days. Before leaving the car, they said they have to replace 2 parts. they gave me the exact cost of the parts and labor. When I got back the car was running. The mechanic said he was testing it. I drove it home and it ran smoothly. That night i started the car. It idled like a diesel engine and started coughing out dark smoke. 2 days later my mechanic arrived.

    Guess what? The parts weren't replaced.

    me naalala tuloy ako about my trooper. nung nakuha ko sya(2nd hand), malapit na sya sa 60tKM. so nung 60t PMS ko sya sa isang isuzu casa. palit lahat oil ang filter. hiningi ko yung lahat ng pinalitan except oil. then nung next pms ko, bili ko ng oil filter(Vic) at dala ko yung luma. Potek, pang ibang makina nung itry ko ipasok. pang ibang makina raw yun ng isuzu sabi nung binilan ko nung dala ko pareho. so, getting the old parts doesnt guarantee na ok.

    Nung malapit pa dyan ang office namin, nakikita ko na wala silang proper equipment.
    Ang conclusion ko noon at hanggang ngayon: ordinary neighborhood shop ang services with a higher price.

    That's why I try never leave a car at the shop basta kaya ng isang araw ang gawaan. Kung iiwan ko man sandali, nagiiwan din ako ng kamag anak. Kapag pinababantayan ko kasi sa driver minsan palpak pa din.
