Sacrificing 5 year Warranty vs. Cheaper Maintenance?

**1997** · May 26th, 2011 11:31 AM

Hindi rin naman ganoon ka ganda ang Service sa Casa and mahal pa.. I would rather have it serviced it outside na trusted ko and nakikita ko... Strategy ng Casa yan na itali ka sa Service nila... Baket hindi na lang sila mag labas ng 1 year Warranty then mas mura yung price ng sasakyan? tiyak malaki maibabawas ng earning nila sa Parts and Service.

When time na mag claim ka ng Warranty all they say is hindi yan kasali sa Warranty kasi Blah Blah Blah Blah. Warranty ba tawag mo dun? Then pag ikaw bibili ng Parts mo sasabihin nila ma void ang Warranty... kala ko ba hindi part ng Warranty yan ano pa ma Vovoid kung ako bibili ng Parts? Yung ibang parts na cover pa ng Warranty? BS lang yan... I think Wear and Tear is not an excuse na para hindi mo I Honor yung Warranty Claim(Kung may HONOR pa Sila) lalo na sa kotse kasi lahat ng parts ng kotse may malaking possibility na masira under wear and tear...

The only thing worth doing at the casa to keep within warranty is the oil change.

Brake jobs, no.

Tire changes, no.

If the suspension or electronics break... if they won't cover it under warranty... go outside right away.

Guys thank you very much for answering this thread, I'm very happy sa mga inputs nyo it really makes sense to me now. By the way my car is Hyundai Accent CRDi and I'm really happy having a Hyundai. The next question will be, where is the best place to have our Hyundai cars maintained? Any recommended auto shop?

better have it maintained sa casa while nasa warranty pa sya.

For "some" peace of mind, mas maganda definitely sa CASA mag pa maintain. Pero there are those na medyo tight ang budget kahit na may kotse and sometimes hindi practical sa CASA. I know, I've heard others say na "na-afford mong maglabas ng kotse tapos di mo kaya CASA maintenance?" - like me. hehehehe. So para mapakinabangan ng iba itong thread na to, mas maganda mag suggest kayo ng auto shop na quality ang gawa - if possible better quality than CASA can provide or at least in par sa CASA.

OT - kung kunwari nag pa change oil ako sa iba, is there a way for the CASA to know na pina change oil ko sa labas?

Thats true, and naka network narin ang database ng mga sasakyan. Kaya kahit sa kabilang casa ka nagpa service, malalaman nila. So kung may skip sa service record mo at walang record sa computer database nila, void na warranty mo. Kung alam mo kung saan ang mga shop ng mga ex HARI mechanics safe ka dun pumunta and risk the warranty, at least kung may masira, may mechanic ka na may alam sa sasakyan mo. Kung wala kang alam na shop na pwedeng pagkatiwalaan , sa Casa kanalang.

pwede na din yan. depende nasa user yan.

ilang araw ko na pinagiisipan to para sa MS.. 3yrs warranty.. 2nd year na nung april

due na for 20k PMS = 16,000 petot sa casa. deym!

sa labas siguro aabutin lang ng 5-6k

hindi naman na ako makapagclaim ng warranty sa suspension dahil hindi na naka stock rims
