03 CRV suspension problems

[supercar10]

hi guys! I jus brought my 03 crv to Honda to have it check. Matatagtag kasi sobra, more than before pa, and man these Honda guys are like vampires trying to suck every penny they can.

1. evaluation cost P500 (they jus drove it lang naman around).

2. shock absorbers daw most probably problem, so they have to take out the shocks to check. P1300 labor for EACH shock. omg! they're not even 100% sure if shocks nga problem.

3. worse, each friggin shock absorber cost P8200! that's x4 pa! omfg!

is this normal? last time i was there was for my 30k maintainance, di naman ganun before..

If you are having your vehicle serviced at the Honda casa, yes that is normal. That is how car dealers make money, they charge service and parts as if they are made of gold.

A cheaper alternative is to go to reputable service garages like SPEEDYFIX and SPEEDLAB who can do the service and source the parts cheaper than the casa but would have the same or better quality of service.

BTW avoid going to RAPIDE for service. They will rob you blind and wreak your precious car at the same time.

I also need to have my suspension check. Sobrang tagtag though ala namang kalampag. I'm seeing TEIN emblems on some CRVs, does anyone know how much yung ganung shocks? Or OK na KYB? How about for the springs? Meron na po ba nagpagawa suspension CRV 2003? Please share naman po... thanks!

I took my crv'01 (gen1) to honda casa to check the suspensions.
When i drove my car again, wow...maingay na ang ilalim...they quote me to change lots of parts....

Then i took it to zafra-bautista,mkt. It only cost me 3k, palit bushing and stabilizer link. Now tahimik na ang ride ko.

Unless your car is still under warranty, taking it to the casa for suspension or brake issues is kind of pointless. Actually... even under warranty, you can sometimes get denied service for suspension as shocks are considered "wear" items.

Bring your car to the shops that were mentioned on this thread and have it checked ASAP. I hope nabasa mo yung previous post ko. Bring it to zee or cruven. I read somewhere in this forum merong brand na F1 aside from paraut. Research mo na lang. Ala pang KYB for crv 2003 eh next year pa raw as per distributor here in Manila. So far ok naman pinakabit ko na paraut. I would not spend that amount of money for the OEM shocks. Have it fixed asap bago pa masira springs mo and other parts.

Keep us posted. ^^

i just want to inform u guys going to ZEE. I've been here today and have my CRV 2003 front shock replaced by paraut brand by ZEE Carplus. I was so disappointed that I've spent 11K and ended up putting by old shock back. I've been there 730 am, had an appointment a day before to have my paraut shock ready coz i want to save time today. My problem is that they put a paraut shock of different height.... imagine having noticed it by 2PM while i was having my car for wheel alignment. I go back to ZEE for them to check coz they thought i was making a false accusation on what they did... So disappointing coz it break my shock rubber assembly too...

I just want to inform everybody going there to check their cars before leaving coz it's kinda low quality on service and you might end up like me... wasting time on a saturday... sad to say it's pacquiao's day tomorrow so i wont be able to have it fix again... I'll be half-day on monday for their peoples stupidity. The manager give-in to my request to pay all expenses incurred but i'm very disapointed that i need to shell out some bucks because of his incompetent people...

There guys.. be vigilant on the services you get from ZEE..
