Once all our operations, facilities and systems are finished, we're planning to open mondays to sundays, 8am till 7pm. We're also working on having a "shuttle van" for those who work in Makati who'll leave their cars in the morning.

That's a good come-on on the marketing side.

Results of the Transtech "dialisis"... we used up a whopping 24 liters of ATF before the fluid indicator on the machine cleared up as it seems the previous owner of the car did not bother to change ATF! At least i know i'm running clean now... spent 5K+ for the whole process (labor plus ATF), which is still cheaper than overhauling or changing trannies.

One additional observation though: when i mentioned about changing the timing belt to one of the SAs (can't recall to whom) i was promptly told "Dapat every 60,000kms" - which is pretty much overkill, especially if it's told to someone who has some knowledge on cars and maintainance. My owner's manual calls for 100,000kms but i usually opt to change at 80,000kms... ingat lang on such haphazard assessments as it can be construed to the practices of some shops on having things changed without first taking a look at the service recommendation of the manufacturer (as this can vary between makes/models) and an evaluation of the service history, condition and useage of the car.

Mag-park din kayo ng mga bulok na kotse sa workshop... para may kasama naman yung mga kotse namin... kaka-intimidate yung mga BM at MB na nagpapa-service.
