Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

But if you want to avail of Zeibarts lifetime guarantee rust proofing you need to have it done within 5 months of purchase... what are the advantages of this? It is cheaper in the long run... Initial outlay is more expensive but your annual checkup will cost not more than 500 pesos... unlike others which charges about 5k but then guarantee is only for 5 years and you still have to pay annually bet 2k-3k for putting rustproof again...

Although the Santa Fe has a factory rust proofing this is usally still not enough...

Well, that's right sir dragonheart. That's what I did with my previous starex, I availed of Ziebart's lifetime guarantee rustproofing, covering not only the underchassis but the whole vehicle itself from top to bottom and bumper to bumper. Initial cost was 17k but for six years that we had our starex, the annual charge for the renewal and reapplication was just a little over 100 pesos. I guess that was worth it because the old starex was notorious for that rust problem that eats away the side panels. Before you know it butas na side panel ng starex mo.

and remember Zeibart guarantees that your car will not rust... if it does rust they will be the ones to replace or repair the damaged part at no cost to you... although you may say that Hyundai has its warranty but be very careful cause it may not cover rust... remember there are many reasons why rust would develop and if its because of forces beyond the control of Hyundai baka mahirap i daan sa warranty that is why the best talaga is to get the Zeibart lifetime rust proofing...

teka tanung
sino dito inhouse insurance? totoo ba na 10K and up lang ang covered ng insurance? regarding sa accidents etc? mahal pa naman

Hi Washburn:

I too am contemplating paint protectors for my SF. Kaso at this time not so sure what is sulit in the long run. Ziebart and Bigberts are my options but no experience with either yet.

What service do you recommend kaya to protect your car?

Re insurance, its usually .5% of the value of the car ung participation ng owner. Meaning you will have to pay the first P7640 of the repair costs of the damage. insurance will pay for the rest.

HI guys. Advertise lng po me. If your looking for a good SA PLs check Arianne Of Hyundai Commonwealth. I got mine santa fe there.

Me too actually wala ako experience nasabi ko lang na Big Berts kasi dahil sa mga tao dito sa tsikot at yung honesty nila na nagpalambot ng puso ko (hehe)
Nung nabangga ng gate namin yung sante fe na leave siya ng malaking scratch nung dinala ko dun sa Big Berts ortigas tinignan lang nila tapos buff ayun nawala di pa nila ako charge kasi small job lang yun
Nung nagpaquote ako sa iba charge muna sila bago tingin
Gusto ko masubukan ang service nila
Mag schedule ako next month, papadetail ako magtanung ako sa kanila regarding paint, balitaan ko kayo, hopefully mapaaga busy kasi e

Re insurance ulit, a ok naintindihan ko po thanks, kaso 0 (zero) participation ang insurance namin e , tinanung ko lang baka kasi inuutakan kami ng inhouse insurance na yun e, pero ok lang yun pagaaralan ko nalang yung policy. thanks for replying

can you clarify that...your insurance is 0 partcipation...meaning kung mabangga ka...you dont pay for anything..not a single peso...as in the insurance pay for everything..WOW! great deal...how much annual premium do you pay for that? whats the name if the insurance company?

[torrentino]

Hi guys just got my Superior Red Santa Fe yesterday and all I can say is I am very satisfied with my choice! Everyone who has seen it have also expressed their admiration and often used the word WOW in their comments too.

Am now planning to get a paint protection from Big Bert's and will schedule treatment for additional rustproofing after 6 months nalang siguro. Dami na gastos eh

I also got the insurance without participation for damages above 10t only AFAIK. Damages below 10t will still incur a cost participation on my part.

what dealership did you get your SF and what insurance did you get? was it in-house?

yes tama ka, pag mabangga ka wala kang babayaran, kaso depende pa yun sa estimate nila, like ours nung nabangga kami sa likod ang estimate nila e 7K ang repair (casa) di daw covered ng insurance yun kasi 10K pataas lang ang covered ng insurance with zero participation, kakainis nga e kaya nga nagpainsurance e, di tuloy napagawa
In-house insurance yun e Standard Insurance name
40K annual, ang mali ko lang siguro di ko binasa ng mabuti ang policy ang haba kasi e,

[DragonHeart]

just came from a hyundai dealer. my mom wanted to see the santa fe, because I told her I was getting one and she kept discouraging me. Wala pang 2 minutes when she saw it she said go ahead na. She was impressed with how it looks. Hopefully I'll be getting one next week, it just depends on which dealer will give me what im asking for...

Daming bagong naka-SF ngayon. I gave a flash to a Superior Red SF along Marcos Alvarez Ave, Las Pinas this afternoon but no reaction from the driver. Maybe, he is not a forumer of this site. May black din akong nasalubong near SM Southmall.
Ok na ba yung P2500 for a rear Mudguard sa casa? Meron ba kayong contact nos. sa Goldrich sa Banawe? Baka mas mura pa doon. Palagi na lang kasing putikan ang underneath ng rear bumper ko dahil sa mga splashes.

Ang bili ko sa erod P2500 4 pcs na, front and rear.

[O!lman]

Thank you sir Safala. Sa rear lang kailangan ko dahil may stepboard na SF ko that serves as mudguard na rin sa front. Set of 4 ba palagi ang bilihan?

I got my first scratch on the front right fender of my black SF Thursday. No deep scars just scraped paint. Apparently, I didnt see the wall of our buildings multilevel parking ramp (which is tight) was near na till it was too late. Its about 2 inches long by 1/4 of an inch wide. Any advise to fix it? Do you recommend a retouch or a full repaint of the fender? Kinda too small and not too obvious from 5 feet away (black paint on black plastic fender kasi) to repain the whole fender. But the feeling that its not "perfect" kinda dampens the "brand new" feeling. I will ask the casa for advise...

[IGLOCK]

That good to know. But there must be a catch somewhere. How much was the premium if I may ask? I got mine for 28K (CRDI 4x4) with .5% participation. Is it standard insurance?
Thanks in advance.

[IGLOCK]

OT:

How do you maintain the new car smell of your SFs? Currently I use a compact cigatte lighter plug ionizer that seems to work. Definitely no eating inside the car. Also, I bring a shoe boxed sized tupperware type sealed container for take out food that I cant avoid bring inside the car.

Any advise? Thanks!

You can but it by per piece, P625 ang isa. Got mine at Hyundai manila Bay.

Hi folks! I'm new to tsikot.com. I recently bought a white Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi - barely 1 month old. Thanks to this thread for convincing me.

Just want to post a question - does anybody here know if the stock radio supports remote control?

Thanks in advance!

[oldblue]

remote control? kung ikaw naman driver di mo na kelangan. thumb lang kelangan

Actually, it's for my kid in the back. Burned some MP3 music for him kasi and he wants to select the music.
