manloloko/abusadong car shops

makisama na rin ako sa thread no ito.

BMW Auto Haus. Mahilig magdagdag ng piyesa. Recommend palit kahit walang sira.

Hahn Manila. My dad's driver brought his BM to this shop for a unusual noise sa steering colum. They recommended replace thrust rod, upper and lower control arms and its bushings plus another part i cant recall. Estimate 40,000. Eh sa estimate pa lang alam ko na gusto lang kumita ng mga mokong, hindi naman sira yung mga parts.

I pulled out the car and brought it to Cruven. Diagnosed and fixed in less than 2 hours. Greasing and adjust rack and pinon lang pala. Cost 830 pesos

Mga manloloko talaga tao diyan sa BMW Autohaus, dati I used to have a 316i (E36) back then they were known as Prestige Cars Libis, gusto ba naman palitan buong alternator ko for 45,000 yata yun, buti na lang di ko pinagawa, dinala ko dun sa talyer kung saan ako nagpapagawa ng Benz at pinasilip ko yung alternator, yun pala yung 1 bearing lang ang sira pero since 2 yung bearing sa loob ng alternator I decided to replace both bearings as a precautionary measure. Total cost? 800 bucks. Because of that incident, ayaw ko na mag BMW.

BMW does not repair those parts. Pag sira, they will change the entire thing. Ganun ata talaga pag BMW casa that's why they recommended na palitan ang buong alternator

LA Cars in Makati. Bought 2 HID kits from them, 18 months warranty ang bulb. Wala pang 1 year nasira na mga bulbs. tapos nung pinapapalitan ko ayaw nila dahil walang resibo. Pero kilala naman ako nung tindera at alam niya na dun ko binili yung 2 HID kits so dapat kahit walang resibo pinalitan nila. Sa Consumer Protection Act, as long as mapatunayan mo na dun mo nabili, dapat palitan nila. So sabi ko malamang may copy sila nung resibo wala daw. They also charge an additional 8% pag credit card. This is illegal. bawal sila mag charge ng ganun. Sagot ng store dapat yun and should not be passed on to consumers. I tried contacting its owner. Hindi namamansin. Pag nagbebenta lang sila magaling pero once mabentahan ka na at nagka problema, pasensyahan na lang ginagwa nila.
HID ng kaibigan ko, dun din kinabit. Wala pang isang taon, sira na rin ang bulbs.

In other forums, I read that they install fake v-cool tints. Not sure about this though kasi I never dealt with them na after the HID incident.

naku! dito ko pa naman balak palinis & align headlights ko. satisfied kasi ako sa work nila nung nagpakabit ako ng tint sa windshield. solargard pinakabit ko. good job naman. or iba ang usapan pagdating sa lights or sounds?

Di ko lang po alam pagdating sa mga tints. I just read somewhere before na fake a v-cool nila kaya pala mura. As for lights and sounds, na trauma na ako. NEVER na ako magpapagawa sa kanila dahil magaling lang sila magbenta. Pagnagka problema manigas ka na lang. Nagkaproblema rin ata ang LA cars sa isang car club, focus club ata? And banned na rin siya sa maraming forums.
