Civic 96-2000 owners price watch

[sax]

Hi guys.

Sna ma sticky man lang ito or bump it from time to time.

I'm starting this thread for those who own a Civic within the stated model category. It will help you have an idea of how much parts are, where to get it repaired, tips, etc. Let me start this out with what I spent for today.

Issue:
Power steering leak, all four wheel brake overhaul.

Parts:
Honda Fairview - Rack and Pinion repair kit Php2400+
- Honda PS fluid ( Petron ATF not recommended ) Php550

Capitol Auto parts Commonwealth -
- Steering boots - 220 pair
- Caliper repair kit - 250 set
- 4 pcs. rear break piston caps - 120
- Bendix brake pads - 750
- Hose and clamps - 90

Shop - MOTECH North Fairview -Regalado - 20% OFF if member.
- R/P PS overhaul - 2000
- Brake overhaul - 700
- Alignment - 400

TIPl. If your steering shaft is rough or surface is deformed. You will need a new shaft ( Php6500 ) or have it hard chromed by Chrome Dazzler. 67 P. Tuazon , Cubao. Price is Php1500. You cannot use the shaft if it is rough or rusted. Otherwise it will just ruin the O-ring/seal and will eventually cause leak. Also, I called and talked to Honda mechanics from 3 different branches. Everyone said that using the Honda PS fluid pays more dividend than using the cheaper Petron ATF( 140/liter , red ) fluid. Any DOT 3 brake fluid will do for the brakes.

MOTECH Fairview-regalado is like RAPIDE albeit more reasonably priced. Take advantage of their 20-70% Off if you become a member for a year for only Php120. Mention PANSOL as your sponsor.

After doing my homework by calling shops, parts, talking to mechanics for knowledge and info. I was able to bring my first quoted price from 15k down to 8k+.

Hope you guys will share your price watch experience.

Maganda ba ang Bendix brake pads sir ?

Yes. I've been using bendix on my other previous cars before. I'm happy naman. Actually, maganda pa yun pads na luma, pero since preventive maintenance, I opted to have it replaced na din. Bendix is a lot cheaper compared to orignal Honda.

Kung do it yourself tanggalin mo gulong at pagnatangal mo na makikita mo brake pad kung manipis na at karamihan pag upod na pads maririnig mo na ingay pag nag brake ka . Kung gusto mo naman pa check sa servitek wala naman charge ito kung sisilipin lang kung manipis na brake pad mo. Bendix rin gamit ko hindi nagpupulbos sa mags at matibay .

Front and rear brake pad has a depressed dividing line in the middle. Once that depression meets the pads or almost about to, then it's time to replace it. Yun sakin halfway pa lang pero since na overhaul na yun rubber fittings ko, pinapalit ko na din.
