Bad Experience with Honda San Pablo

[basti_67]

I bought my 2nd hand 2003 CRV last May with 49k Km. Yung last maintenace is 40k km sa Honda Marikina with the 1st owner. Bago ko makuha s 1st owner pinacheck ko muna s trusted mechanic ko, ok lahat. Then palinis ng aircon.
Yesterday I went to Honda San Pablo to do the 50k maitenance. Coming from batangas my aircon is ok, I didn't hear any noise or sign that my a/c compressor will be busted. Sobra lamig talaga nung aircon kasi alaga ko sa linis. Change oil lang daw kelangan na maintenace. Ok natuwa ako kasi ok pa lahat at hindi ganun kalaki babayaran ko. Pinasok namin s casa aroung 9am then natapos before 12. Nung itturn over na sa amin yung sasakyan we start the engine then the a/c. My narinig ako malakas na ingay sa aircon at walang lamig na lumalabas . Nagulat ako kasi change oil lang ginawa nila bakit biglaan nagkaganun A/C ko. Nagbyahe kami simula batangas kahit ni isang ingay at sign hindi kami nakaramdam, sobra lamig at tahimik. Nakipagusap ako s service manager nila sabi skin accident lang daw yun n dun sa kanila inabutan ng pagkasira.Pero pinagtataka ko bakit biglaan. My Honda Civic 98 Vti rin ako dati bago nasira A/C compressor ko naka ilang uit na ko nagpaparepair s mga aircon shop at tumagal pa din to. Hindi na ko magtataka kung masisira at magpalit ako ng bagong A/C compressor. Pero itong s CRV ko bakit kahit konting sign na malapit na masira wala man lang ako nakita o naramdaman. Ang maskit pa nito karamihan s staff ng Honda San Pablo umiiwas smin. Kaya ngdecide na lang kami na umuwi na lng at pacheck s shop s labas. Sira n daw yung A/C compressor at dapat na daw palitan hindi na daw pwede marepair. Wala na din kami magawa. Sana hindi na lang kami nagpaservice sa kanila. Buti sana kung 2k lng yung nasira kaso medyo mabigat s bulsa.

things like this really happen..pwedeng na timing lang talaga na nasira yun A/C mo during your PMS sa casa...

pwede rin na nasira talaga while you were traveling from batangas to San pablo...and napwersa yun a/c mo or something we will never know but since na pa check mo na sa labas and sabi sira na talaga..then sira na talaga...

I'm just curious sa sinabi mo na alaga mo sa linis ang A/C when you just got the car last May, and I assume isang beses mo pa lang napalinis...baka naman yun 1st owner eh hinde naman maalaga...

so I think it's not really fair na we should put the blame sa Honda San Pablo...

+1 on this... and usually sa casa, since ang cjharge sa iyo ay sa Change Oil lang, that means di talaga nila ginalaw other parts... alam mo naman sa casa, konting kibot, may bayad.

[slamtaz]

mahirap resolbahin ang ganitong sitwasyon... pero nangyayari talagang natyempuhan lang pagkasira nung pinaservice mo sa casa dahil tama yung sabi na merong midas touch mga service tech na bawat gawin nila ay meron bayad and it will count against their efficiency if they do something not in the service request log bcoz it affects their turn-around-time in performing their job... and in this case, since change oil lang kamo ay mukhang malayong maapektuhan ung AC system. agree din ako dun sa sabi na baka hindi nabigyan ng maayos na preventive maintenance nung 1st owner during the 1st 49,000 kms and no matter how well you try to care for it during the next 1,000 kms, ay parang hindi yata kaya i-offset yung accumulated wear and tear at sa yo inabot ng pagkasira...

Pero sir kung kayo huling gumamit ng sasakyan ko o nakapgdrive talagang magtataka ka kung bakit nagkagnun ng biglaan. Hindi na umiikot yung compressor at wala n rin freon nung ihand over smin. Sana bago nila ihand over smin alam na nila na nasira yung A/C compressor. Saka pa lang nalaman namin nung ihand over smin. Yung ang masakit. Kaya ko dinala dun para icheck lahat kung ano sira at papalitan. Sabi nila ok naman daw lahat at change oil lng gagawin.Kahit ano pa reklamo ko sa kanila wala na rin ako magagawa kundi tanggapin.Bumili ng bago at ipakabit tapos.Hindi na ko mauulit s pagpapagawa sa Honda San Pablo.

[shadow]

baka meron ng leak, kung naubos yun freon...hinde talaga aandar ang compressor pag walang freon....

[FrankDrebin]

Or baka secretly na pinalitan yung A/C compressor mo?

Nagpacheck ako sa labas para malaman kung talagang sira na talaga at wala ng pagasa pa na marepair. Hindi ko po ibig sabihin na talang sira na nung dalhin namin sa casa. Before we turn over the unit to them they check the unit and even the A/C they also check it. So sabi nila ok naman daw at change oil lang gagawin.
Bago ko makuha s 1st owner binigay skin lahat ng maga papeles at receipt na ginawa s unit sumula nung nabili nila. Batangas to San pablo medyo malapit lang yung. Hindi pede natin sabihin na napwersa kasi hindi lang naman nung araw na yun nakatakbo ng ganun kalayo. Bumabyahe kdn ami ng Batangas-Manila.
Pag alaga mo talaga sasakyan mo magtataka ka pag biglaan masira yan at manghihinayang ka.

tsk...
di kaya may nabunot lang na kuryente sa compressor? nag-eengage ba sya?
since 50k na naman odo reading mo, sa labas ka na lang magpaayos. specially yung ginawa mo change oil lang naman...

Sir talagang hindi na umiikot yung compressor at nakapagtataka wala na rin siyang freon nung macheck s ibang shop. Halos ang ganda pa ng takbo namin simula Batangas. Wala ako nararamdaman n magkakaganun ng biglaan yung compressor. Alam nyo naman siguro kung ok o hindi ok yung sasakyan nyo pag gingamit nyo lagi.

[lodi]

na check nyo ba kung walang markings na ginalaw ang bolts & nuts ng compressor(possible swapping?)

baka nga kinahoy ng lokong mechanic?
eh bakit nga sila parang umiiwas kung wala namang maling nagawa?


pero...kung "as is" ang compressor assembly...baka nga sa casa lang bumigay...

pa autopsy mo sa ibang shop yung compressor

[take1bar]

hahaha, autopsy. discussion here is funny, my first time here in honda cars talk. btw i have also a very bad experience with honda cars san pablo since then i will never ever bring my car there.

why not call CSI

[rna800]

I also had a, I don't say it a bad experience, but I think it was the inefficiency of the person who was assigned to my vehicle when I had it serviced in Honda Caloocan. When I had my PMS, I told them to check my tire since it's loosing air. After whole day of waiting, I received a paper that has all the checks in it and the dreadful bill. I thought everything was in tip top shape again. To my surprise, my tire is flat the next morning! I brought it to a vulcanizing shop, and voiala! The man pulled I think that was a 1.5-inch nail or longer. I was shocked on how did that happen. After that incident, I don't go there anymore. Good thing there's Honda Fairview which is near from our place and so far I haven't had any problems with them... yet. This is the reason why I think that some servicemen in casas are still trainees or plainly they don't care since it's not their vehicle after all.

As for you, I think it's just coincidence. I don't think they will repair/remove something if it's not part of the job order, not unless you told them or it's already necessary. It's their SOP to advise first the customer if there are parts that need to be replaced and how much is it.
