    i will also decline the brakes. even if the price seems competitive.

    "sinabing ginawa, kahit hindi naman ginawa."
    when i had it done in banawe afterward, because i was advised that the brake pads were getting kinda thin... tanong nga ng mekaniko, "lumusong ba kayo sa baha? kelan ho huling na-linis ito?"
    a fluke?

    i add my coolant at home. no need to bother the casa for it.

    good luck.

    and, oh yes.
    i use mineral oil and have oil change every 5000 km.
    it is my belief that frequent oil change removes more effectively, the metal filings suspended therein.
    Do honda casa allow you to witness while they are doing pms? I always see and check what the mechanic is doing.

    Most casas don’t allow clients on the service floor. Motor Image (Subaru) allows it.

    if its free then might as well get it.

    i have a similar experience with the doc. (toyota though) they claim to put in windshield washer cleaner fluid without telling me before hand. now I have no way of knowing if they really put in those things. i let it pass as the cost was relatively not much but i did not return to that casa anymore.

    some casas have a viewing area to let you see your car when they are working on it but not all. also they may allow you to watch right beside your car for a short while but you may not be able to stay for the duration them citing safety/security protocols

    Basic Change oil should cost you arnd P3.5k. Below example my 2nd PMS.

    4L 5W30 semi-synthetic Oil idemitsu Honda PN# 08233-P99-F4NP1 - P1,248.45
    Oil Filter Honda PN# 15400-RAF-T01 - P433.17
    Sump Plug gasket Honda PN# 94109-14000 - P28.82
    Shop Supplies & Materials Misc - 637.50
    Labor - P1,112.50

    Most service bays can be viewed from the customer lounge. Customers inside the bay is not allowed due to safety risks.

    unless they have a roving camera,
    you can see only one side of your car.
    what they are doing on the other side...

    but i can understand the casa's concerns.
    can we imagine a casa workbay full of costumers, asking all sorts of questions and generally getting in the way?

    They would sometimes show you if you are the insistent "matanong" type customer like asking where to put this filter, where is the location of sump plug, what tool size, etc.. Just keep in mind that they will not be held responsible if you hit your head on the lifter or slipped on the oily floor..

    Thanks... Php3.5k seems fair enough for the 2nd pms. Is that the price of honda semi-synthetic or maybe mineral oil? because I saw a post the cost is Php1,800 for 4L honda semi synthetic.

    Okay so better talk with SA beforehand that this is the list of materials and labor cost that the mechanic will only do if there will be additional cost while servicing your vehicle then let you know first. Okay viewing area is enough for me no need to go near the mechanic.

    Have it done sa Honda Spa (Mindanao Ave QC) you can watch while it is being serviced hanggang mangalay legs mo hehe

    To add mas maayos kausap mga SA doon, pag upo mo inform them to remove all optionals sa job order

    Ganito pala ang prices ng 4L oil sa Honda:

    Mineral: 750+
    Semi: 1200+
    FS: 2400+

    Okay din pala mag upgrade mineral to semi kung nasa 400 ang difference sa price. Maganda sa Honda naka SN rating lahat ng oils kahit mineral.
