~* car / auto shops to be avoided (mga manloloko)*~

[d0m1n1]

Lets list down shops that have bad service, cheaters in terms of auto parts and false assumtions on car troubles! In short, mga MANLOLOKO!

Maski di pa sira at kaya pang ayusin, sisirain nila!
Fake parts
Over charged auto parts and services


[SIZE=3]Shops and description:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]1. Caloy's Auto and Paint Shop, Inc. Main: 256 San Francisco corner Banaag St., Bo. Kapitolyo, Pasig City[/SIZE]

- Sisirain mga piyesa mo o ipapalit ng sirang piyesa at lalagyan ng bago para maka pag charge ng mas malaki para sa service. Laki pa ng patong sa piyesa.

- Pag nag pabody Paint ka check mo lahat specially yung ilalim ng carpet mo. Walang paint kaya kakalawangin agad. Check mo rin kung tama ang paint na ginagamit nila. e.g. Anzahl daw pero regular paint lang papatungan lang ng pang wet look.

- at marami pang ibang raket!

Me my brothers ansd cousins from Pineda, Pasig are victimized by Mr. Caloy Gonzales (Owner)

BEWARE!

Lets do a hall of shame for this car auto shops here! Or this can be positive way to improve their services.

sama mo na rapide dyan...

+1. First thing that comes to mind is Rapide. They'd give you a long list of repairs and replacement for your car that would cost hundreds of thousands of pesos. Tinalo ang casa!

How did they try to dupe you?

[testament11]

teka, may existing thread na ito ah! nasa goon squad. kung wala, mods, paki-lipat nalang po sa goon squad

[greymatter]

Bro, this should be a sticky!!! Am glad to contribute. Pero i suggest to d0m1n1 to put the updated list sa first post para doon na lang natin makikita ang latest instead of searching for it sa succeeding posts lalo na pag lumaki na ang thread.

I hope this thread will convince these shops to change their ways.


Pls. add to list:

PHENOMENAL AUTO REPAIR located in San Juan. Kakahuyin ang kotse mo ng mga parts na feeling nila di mo mapapansin.

I second this motion.

One time I was gonna buy some tires from them. They were using a tire wrench to loosen my tire's bolts then a pneumatic machine to completely remove them.

I called my dad informing him where I'm getting my tires replaced but he told me of another place where I can get them cheaper so I told the auto mechanics (actually, mas mukhang boy ang mga yun) to stop and just replace the tires, inabutan ko pa sya ng P100 as tip dahil napagod na din.

Whe I arrived at the other shop at Sucat (malapit lang naman dahil dumaan ako sa France, shortcut yun), they told me " sir, ang luluwang ng mga bolts ng tires nyo."

The asshole boy didn't tighten them!! Pinaikot nya lang nang konti para di halata. Sayang pala yung tip ko.

** I don't know if they're actually called "bolts". Di ko na maalala tawag dun e.

ganito po nangyari. nagpunta ako sa kanila para patingnan at pagawa na rin yung ingay sa ilalim ng oto ko (nakumbinsi ako sa karatula nila na 'underchassis authority' daw sila). so test drive kami then diagnosis nila may kalampag na oto ko. sa madaling sabi ginawa nila ilalim (F/R shocks, ball joints, tie rod ends, and bushing of rack and pinion; suspension bushings ok pa naman daw di pa palitin) thru their 'injection system technology' (50% daw mura kesa bili bago). pagkatapos test drive uli na kung saan sabi ni taba (yung owner ng shop na kasama ko test drive) wag daw ako menor humps para matesting technology at galing nila. ang siste during test drive andun pa rin ingay na reklamo ko sa kanila earlier. baklas ulit sila at check-up ulit tapos ganun pa rin. inabot ako 2 days kareklamo sa kanila bakit ganun. sa madaling sabi ulit, sumuko na sila di nila mahuli ingay oto. ako naman sa sarili ko siguro dahil luma na oto ko mahirap na siguro talaga gawin. suko na rin ako pagtiyagaan ko na lang ingay sabi ko. kinuha ko bill umabot 12k plus. laking gulat ko dahil meron nakalagay sa bill na 'diagnostic fee' 500petot. tanung ko sila para saan yun. sabi nila dun daw yun sa reklamo kong ingay dahil yung ingay daw na reklamo ko sa kanila nung una ay na-solve na nila at yung 500petot na DF ay dun daw sa 'bagong ingay'. DIOSKOPO!!! E YUN NGA YUNG INGAY NA REKLAMO KO SA KANILA NUNG PUMUNTA AKO SHOP NILA NA DI NAMAN NILA NASOLB HANGAN SUMUKO SILA. PAID 12K+ PETOT FOR NOTHING!!! para wala na lang gulo at para makalayas na ako shop nila binayaran ko na lang bill at nangako ako na di na babalik shop nila! at isa pa may pagkabastos at mayabang mga mekaniko (at owner na din) marami sila di maganda comment at salita (i.e. P...I...M) sa mga nagpapagawa sa kanila na hindi satisfied trabaho nila kwento pa nila sa akin yun at nasaksihan ko rin mismo. mula nun sumpa ko na shop nila.

Ocampo's Auto Underchassis Shop and Battery Trading along Naguilian Rd, Baguio City

Dinala ng sister ko yung ford Lynx nya dun to purchase new front tires and to have the camber aligned (non-computerized). When everything was done, nagulat na lang siya sa bill nya - tumataginting na 9k. I did not get the breakdown pero ang main issue daw dun eh ni repair daw yung stabilizer links sa likod and each repair costs 300 per wheel eh puwede naman bumili na lang sana ng replacement na halos same price pa! Nilipat kasi yung gulong galing harap at nilagay sa likod at nakita daw na sira na ito (mga stabilizer links). They did not even inform my sister about it before they did the job.

I was planning to bring my car to Caloy's this weekend for a paint job. Buti nalang nakita ko tong thread na to.

Any other member who had a bad experience with Caloy's?

[rock reyes]

I thought Rapide was a big company? papunta pa naman ako dun bukas...tutuloy ako pero never nila akong maiisahan....

big doesnt mean they're good and reliable. kwento mo nalang sa amin ano nangyari sa pagpunta mo.

[kurternest]

I agree sa Rapide .... yung along circle sa munisipyo ng mandaluyong ... nag pa check ako nung me umiingay sa engine area. ang sabi ng taga rapide eh yung aircon compressor daw yung maingay at kailangan nang palitan ng bago. nagduda ako na yun nga yung kailangan palitan at kung kailangan mang palitan eh me mga talyer naman na kayang irepair lang yung compressor. so dinala ko sa katabing talyer .... yung maingay pala eh yung aux fan lang pala ... so bili lang ng bagong aux fan motor na less than 500 lang yata compared sa new compressor na more than 10K yata singil sakin ng rapide.

advice ko talaga sa mga magpapagawa eh magtanong tanong muna kayo sa ibat ibang talyer ... mag canvas muna para makasigurado at makatipid.
