Sir OTEP, may thread rin ba kayo about Felix Kalbo? Gusto ko sana mag parefurbish ng plate, I need more infos about him.

[robot.sonic]

The only freelancers I deal with are Felix (kalbo) and Jemson and his posse. Been doing business with them since the 90's.

Freelancer ba si jemson?

May PM ako sayo doc.

[SiRbossR]

Freelancer ba? i dont think he is. though nakikijoint siya sa brother niya ata or kebigan na may radiator shop.

[redeemed]

ay naku.. don't deal w/ them.. go straight sa shop, & yes, call the shop muna before going there. like what i witnessed the last time na nagpapalit ako ng shock. yung katabi kung altis kala mo pupo na dinumog ng langaw. halos buhatin na yung oto... kanya-kanyang baklas sabay lapit sa owner kesyo "ito, sir... sira din". yung owner mukhang OFW... kasama pa si wifey & daughter. nakabihis at naninilaw.. kaya din siguro lalong dinumog.

hmmmm ako dati nag papalit ako ng mag sa DUB so etong mga mokong na freelancer kesyo sira daw so sabi ko sige ayusin mo nalang yan baguhan eh then ang dami sinasabi sira sabi ko balik mo nalang brod at sa motorex ko nalang papaayos ayun sabi na pwede pa naman saka mo nalang palitan :D

kaya ako always diretso sa motorex then hanap agad si joey pag electrical or arnold pag engine or kay mang danny na SA nila.

tapos pag sinabi anong mga papalitan eh ako na mag hahanap ng pyesa kasi malaki din ang dagdag nila sa mga pyesa pag sa kanila bibilhin :D

We have a small canteen in Banawe and its never a pretty sight to see these vultures swoop down on unsuspecting customers who actually think they're getting a good deal.

Go to a reputable store, have the work done there, the few hundred savings you think you may get will be worth less than the trouble you are courting when dealing with far less than professional hires that have no particular skill beyond dismantling and hoping they can put it back.

I hate it when those guys approach me while i'm having something done at my suking tindahan in Banawe then they'll point out any friggin hole in my hood or chassis and say "ser nawawala yun goma, kabitan natin"

Yes, i feel bad for those who deal with those vultures (as if some legit shops aren't vulture enough). When i have a chance, i do drop quiet hints at the car owner not to deal with them :D

One time lang inayos yung plate number ok naman parang naawa lang ako at mura lang naman...Buy I aways sure na with in my sight. The best pa din ang direct sa shop nag tataka lang ako alam na ng marami ang ganyang modus bakit hindi pa rin nawawalis. or mag tayo sila ng organization nila tapos naka uniform at maging offical runner sila ng mga spare parts..
