Wow... 22K versus a loose bolt...

Although my last experience with Rapide Makati was relatively good though.

diba rapide has a slogan saying that "we'll beat or match the price of other shops"? bakit mahal sila maningil?

Bwahaha. Sa sobrang daming nagrereklamo, napuno tuloy yung mailbox!

Resend mo lang ng resend yung mail mo. After one week, kung ayaw pa rin, ibig sabihin, hindi nila binabasa yung mails nila, IOW wala silang paki!

ABA! nung magpatune-up me jan din sa riverbanks, marikina sabi nila tsdek na din daw nila pang-ilalim. okey naman sa akin. Diretso grocery din pagbalik ko tapos na ung tune-up tapos bigay me iyong dignosis nila sa pang-ilalim. ABA! P22,000 din ang estimate. Baka naman iyon lang ang alam nilang price basta pang-ilalaim. Kawawa naman malapit ng magsaraaaaaaaaaa...

Think of it this way. With the same list of parts and things to do, their prices could be lower than others. The apparent problem is, they include a lot in their "diagnosis"; parts that are in perfect working order and services that are totally unnecessary given the problem at hand.

Best practice is still to ask for a 2nd opinion, libre naman usually mag-estimate mga shops na to e. Given Rapide's reputation though, it almost compels you to get a 2nd opinion. Either that or don't go there at all.

Kahit less 50% pa po sa price ng iba wag na lang din kasi sa workmanship mukhang pahihirapan ka din nila pati sa pagclaim ng warranty, simpleng linis lang ng A/C quote nila sa akin P14,000 kasi kelangan n daw palitan ung evaporator, wahehehehe.
