manloloko/abusadong car shops

[bluemica]

my friend had his bodykits made at a popular car shop in marcos hi-way. he was really excited prior to the installation and was telling us all about the bodykits that he's having installed on his 7th gen honda civic. i saw his car 2 weeks after it got released from the shop. man was it ugly!! not only did they make such a poor job on the kits but they messed up the car paint! his car went from glossy white to matte white! its like they used pylox to cover up what ever it is that they did to his car. i can really see the disappointment on my friends face. and funny thing is that the owner of the shop warned him not to have it copied after my friend called him to complain. now its as if my friend is scared of that guy who made his car look like sh!t (sorry mods, lack of better adjective) i hope this would be a lesson to those who are thinking of having kits installed. hope this doesn't happen to anyone else..

also please avoid the car accessories shop in 20th ave cubao i think its name is westpoint. basta may west- sa name niya. they messup up the wirings on my car and now i have to have my computer box replaced.

dahan dahan lang po tayo sa mga modifications lalo na kung hindi natin pa kilala yung mga shops. better to research lalo na kung medjo malaking investments on accessories.

popular shop in Marcos? hmmm... dami ko alam dun pero wala naman ako nakitang body kit shop dun. Genix ba yan? Kai?

kung sa accessories, it would be best that just buy the certain accessory and then take it to a good electrical shop like rey's electrical in marikina.

well, thanks for the heads up.

Mabuti na lang hindi ako mahilig sa mods. Service and repairs are enough pains for me!

[glenngj]

sana nilagay mo yung name ng shop sa marcos hway para may idea kame..

[shadow]

oo nga dapat nilagay mo goon squad ito and palpak naman ang ginawa..it will be unfair to other car shop kung hinde mo sasabihin kung anong name ng shop...

[Syuryuken]

post mo na yung pangalan ng shop malay mo may nakakakilala sa may-ari.

mahirap masabihan ng "IMBENTOR"

[userfriendly]

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

[glenngj]

isama mo na din yung rapide..

[[archie]]

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.

Autotrixx sa Don Antonio Village, Commonwealth. Grabe manloko yung 2 na magnanakaw na Hudas na mayari nito. Kakabitan ka ng defective/damaged parts at kung magkamali kang magpa body repair, hintay ka lang ilang buwan, lilitaw na yung pandaraya na ginawa sa auto mo. Tito Cruz at Dodo Bautista may araw rin kayo. Eto yung 2 mandurugas na mayari

[frake]

hirap din mag pa install ng kahit ano lalo't wala kang kilalang personal na reputable shops. Kaya yung nabili ko dating sub-speaker hindi ko na lang pinakabit sa auto ko. bago pa kasi nung time na yun yung auto. Natakot ako baka hindi maiayos ang wiring.

BAS Motorshop sa Sct Torillo Timoq QC malapit sa Off the Grill

Brought my very 1st car ( 2nd Hand po siya ) Honda Civic 2002 to have it detailed, change all the necessary oils needed and para mawala ung tunog whenever im braking.

The Horror
BAS charged me 4,500 for exterior, interior, engine detailing. Mahal din ba? so im expecting pulidong trabaho. ang dinatnan ko? ung trunk ko sa ilalim puro natapon na langis at karton. bagong armor all na dashboard tska bagong car wash na labas ng kotse.

Last week dinala ko sa mindanao ave ung kotse para pa change color and pag bisita ko baklas na lahat so nakita ko pa ng mas maigi ung dinetail daw nilang kotse, kahit naman 1st time ko naman magkaroon ng kotse alam ko naman ung malinis sa madumi

pangalaw, langitngit pag preno. sabi ni BAS lilinisin lang daw ung brake nun so wag ko daw alalahanin siya na daw bahala. after 2 days of using the car bumalik ung langitngit, binalik ko sa BAS at sabi nya sa akin may tama na daw kasi ung rotor ang palitan na daw namin. so sinayang ko lang pala ung binayad ko brake cleaning? sana sinabi nya agad na ganun ung problema para di na ako pabalik balik, sayang sa panahon at pera. nag decide na ako pa check sa ibang shop ung kotse, napansin nila na may lock pala ung lugnuts ko at di nila basta basta matatangal ang gulong, pwinersa pa nila after 2 hrs natangal na lahat ng gulong, tagal di ba? kasi ung isang lock sa lugnuts losethread na, pano nalinis ng BAS motorshop to kung losethread na? pwede ba yun? anyway.. ito na, kaya pala lumalangitngit ung brake ko kasi ung brakepad na nakalagay MALIIT and isa pa need na reface ng rotors, pero bakit di man lang nakita ni BAS motorshop na maliit ung brakepad na nakakabit at niremedyuhan lang?

ang hirap talaga pag na take advantage ka lalo na alam nilang baguhan ka, nadala ako sa sinapit kong ito sa BAS motorshop, ung kotse ko pa naman. mantakin nyo inabot ako 17,+++ para sa change oil, ATF, PS hose, detailing, brake cleaning, spark plug. ayos no? tapos ito lang ang sinapit ng kotse ko sa kanila.

pasensha na at mahaba, salamat sa mga nagbasa
