ill trained service crew

[honty]

good day to all. are you aware that while you're having you car serviced (casa), some service crew may be playing your radio or using your airconditioning unit? worse, they're doing it without the engine running.

[baiskee]

that's why i don't bring my car anymore to casas... mahal na nga, di mo pa alam kung ano ginagawa sa oto mo while your waiting...

i don't like that kind of system.

[empy]

in all honesty, how big a deal is it? if your battery is healthy, it will only take a few minutes to fully charge it when you start the engine. and in case they discharge the battery, all they need to do is jump it and let it run to charge it up.

now, if they scratch your car or dirty up the interior without cleaning it, ibang usapan na yan.

when i managed a shop the techs would play the radio all the time - it wasn't a big deal as long as they treated the customer's property with respect and care...

just my observations (and opinion)

[GlennSter]

imho..even if it is not big of a deal, it's still my car and THEY DONT HAVE THE RIGHT to do use it unless they will test kung ano ang ginawa nila dun.

since i am the owner, gusto ko walang gagamit nung aircon or stereo ko..lalo na kung OC sa kotse.

[pepengtom]

ung patrol ng daddy ko nawalan ng cartridge ng disc changer sa nissan balintawak... antagal bago nabalik, pero puro gasgas na at nagmukang gamit at luma... ayos talaga mga techies dun

[odell]

loko un sa nissan ah... dapa kinasuhan niyo.haha. jok

[nickbay]

Kaya dapat in case na iwan natin sa Casa or kahit saang shop man yong car, make sure lagi na wala tayong maiiwan na kahit anong importanteng gamit doon sa car para maiwasan din na ma-tempt yong mga tech na magnakaw...and also before and after nung servicing check nyo ng maagi yong car para cguradong di kayo magulangan nung mga yon...

waahhhhhhh...sa casa pa naman ngayon car ko...

just my 2 cents mga pre...

[5Speed]

yung utol ko pag nag-iiwan nang sasakyan nya sa casa (mitsu) tinatanggal lahat, pati HU nang cd, pati upholstery cover.....as in kulang na lang eh bare na bare na yung sasakyan, he has a very very bad experience sa casa kasi eh....isa na don yung 3/4 full yung tank nya nung kunin nya yung kotse eh more than 1/4 na lang at tumaas yung mileage nung car nya....kaya wala nang tiwala sa casa yung utol ko....

well matagal nang nangyari yon, early 90s pa pero seldom na syang magpagawa sa casa unless major engine problem na talaga at wala nang ibang choice...

[pissword]

wala pa akong bad experience sa casa... nabibilib pa naman ako but then 4x palang ako pumupunta hehe

[stinkaboy]

dapat may kunting respeto naman sa kotse ng owner...

[honty]

the real issue here is the violation of trust we give to these people...we put a premium to the casas and pay a high price for this, it is but just to expect some kind of professionalism from them.

[ghost_2192]

Iyong car ko nga dinala ko sa casa full tank pag balik ko kalahati na lang ang gas ko.

[xpac]

di ba may checklist sila bago ipasok kotse indicated din duon kung ano level ng fuel kung 1/2, 3/4, 1/4 or full, so puede mag complain kung nabawasan fuel.
ako kasi tangal ko lahat ng laman bago ipasok sa casa. di ba puede din i-detach face ng HU?

[the_wildthing]

Kaya ako ipinapasok ko yung sasakyan halos sagad na sa "E" as in matagal nang umiilaw, siguro mga 3 liters na lang ang natitira. Yan tuloy nilalagay sa service note - "no gasoline". :D

[gearspeed]

Kami ganun din tinatanggal namin mga gamit sa loob yung mga pwedeng tanggalin para hindi mawala.Wala rin kaming tiwala sa mga crew ng casa kahit well trained sila...

[doublea]

To me, I had a bad experience sa Honda Pasig. I lost my sun glass, nawala ang mga barya pati payong ko. I informed my service advisor dahil siya iyung nangolekta ng gamit ko pero wala naman ginawa. Mas gusto ko pa talaga sa shop, dahil they are servicing your car right in front of you, pwede ka pang magtanong about the problem and ask for advises. Iyun lang...

[A121]

sa amin nakalagay sa 101.9 fm yung hu tas naka full volume pa pag binabalik. tsk tsk.

[TJMaxx]

There's something terribly wrong with the business model that these supposedly well-run casas have adopted.
Kaya naman mga owners ng under-warranty cars lang ang kadalasang pumupunta sa kanila dahil sa dami ng mga horror stories na either narinig natin or we ourselves have experienced sa mga casa. Karamihan naman sa mga mekaniko diyan ay trainees lang at wala naman talagang alam..
Bakit ba di maintindihan ng mga casa owners na mas mabuti yung habang ginagawa yung car ay puedeng bantayan ng may-ari?

[odell]

kaya kahit un iba hinde na sa casa.. sa mga katiwalang shops na lang..
