joel, yapoy,

thanks sa comments.

actually malayo nga eh. although si kumander kasi taga angeles so we could probably time it kapag nauuwi. hehe.

although i will visit nga kia congressional soon. who do i look for?

tama ka yapoy, let's use these boards to spread the word of good service centers. hindi naman lahat sablay. meron din naman talagang nagtratrabaho ng matino kasi alam nila mabilis kumalat maganda AT masamang balita. this is what we can do as consumers. make them value us because we give them business, not the other way around.

.....the only problem with my caren is the services we get fron Kia Iloilo,,,
almost a year naring di nagagawa ang blinking glow light ng heater ng caren ko,,,so annoying talaga,,,
anyway sir ang kalawang nayan ay di galing ng roxas,..minsan sa moisture lang din yan ng loob ng sasakyan,so always use your aircon to avoid it..

D bah dalawang gaisano dun, sa gaisano city kami pumunta, yung sa downtown branch nila, nag lunch lang kami and then nag proceed kami sa Agoho...dun nakatira kasi yung grandparents ng wife ko, eh tabing dagat un kaya salty ang hangin, anyway, indi din natin malaman kung saan talaga nag start ang rust, it could be there or baka somewhere else.

Mine is 1 1/2yrs old na, and its still doing great!!! ano ang sabi ng mga technician sa roxas??? dapat kulitin mo or pagalitan mo so that they would act faster, its their job na ayusin ang mga problema ng carens natin, dapat i research nila yan or they should ask CAC kung ano ang dapat gawin. Hope maayos yung blinking glow light mo.

Agoho sir? uo nga malapit yan sa dagat talaga,pero pag nariyan ako sa amin,,every sunday nasa bayabay beach kami inaabot ng hapunan,(what a place talaga)..so far wala talagang kalawang pa,...
about naman sa techician ng roxas,,sorry to say wala namang service dyan sa amin kaya dadalhin ko pa ang car sa iloilo,,last time na uwi ko 2 times kong dinala sa iloilo yan pero niloko lang nila ako,,kasi ni hindi nila ma diagnoses ang sira at hindi DAW pala updated ang computer nila

,so the whole day naghintay kami ng family ko at nagdadownload daw sila..start ng download nila is 8am at 5pm na wala pa sa kalahati ang download nila( na kita ko kasi)...so walang nagawa kundi umuwi nalang kami for 3 long hours of trip back home at tatawag nalang daw sila kung tapos na,...
NEXT,,they call ok na daw pc nila,..punta kami uli doon at you know what??? after long try of diagnosis again they knew that ang pc nila ay hindi parin updated sa PINAKA AT PINAKA NG PINAKA LATESSSSSTTTTT na caren model set up

...so update sila uli for how long?? i dont know and i don't really care anymore....
Ang ganda talaga ng carens not to mention that 1st brand new car namin ito,...but when i come to think of,,i mean the service,,hindi na ako nanghihinayang na bitiwan ang caren ko...
So yan lang naman ang happy story ng service na inabot ko sa Kia Iloilo..by the way ang sa roxas kasi sakanila rin..
Na kakainggit nga kayong mga taga NCR marami kayong services na mapagpipilian...Kung malapit lang sana ako

....
Baka next month pag uwi ko kung ganoon parin ang kalalabasan,,bibitiwan ko na ang caren ko

.....

Sorry to hear about your bad experience sa kia iloilo, nakakainggit talaga ang mga nasa NCR, they have the options to visit other service center to have their beloved carens checked, unlike dito sa province, we are tied sa isang service center lang, iisa pa ang may-ari

. I havent encountered any major problems sa carens ko, minor lang, hopefully wala.

OT: you mentioned na pag umuwi, saan ka naka base or working???

tama diagnosis nila, MAGNETIC COIL ng compressor. they diagnosed the problem on a saturday. tapos sila na may initiative mag order the part for me. then dumating part from the factory within the following week. then went back there the next saturday (para hindi na rin ako mag leave sa work).

when i was shopping for the car in 2007, pinagmalaki nila (kia pampanga) noon na sila nag champion ng inter dealer mechanic's olympics ng kia. obviously, magaling nga mga mechanics nila.

and also, mga service advisor nila, magaling din talaga. look for Jerome Magtoto (0927-8384158) and Michael Espiritu (0921-954-4477). magaling talaga kia pampanga!

Good news.. Tanong lang sir Mari - nagbayad ka ba ng labor fee at kung
oo, how much? I might also begin to seriously consider Kia Pampanga for my 15k pms.

yung mga mechanics nga ng Kia Pampanga ang nanalo. May nakamention din sa akin na pati yung sa Kia Pangasinan nanalo din ata?

So far, wala pa naman ako problema sa Carens ko. Pero kung minsan napapansin ko during shiftings (from neutral to first gear) eh parang may nararamdaman akong vibration sa ilalim. But it still runs normally naman..

Alin casa sa manila/q.c ang marecommend nyo for trade in our CRV, for an EX CARENS. who gives the best deal. TIA

**carchase** · May 17th, 2009 12:39 PM

PM me your S.A. contact info. Thank you guys...

**itlog_na_pula** · May 17th, 2009 07:54 PM

hanren, kia pangasinan and pampanga are owned by the Laus Group. so isa lang mga dugo ng mga yan.

pero matanong ko lang sa inyong lahat, napansin ba niyo tire wear niyo?

i just noticed today, yung front tires ko, hindi pantay upod. yung mga inner side nila nauubos na pala!!! i noticed my lancer had inner tire wear at sa kaba ko, sinilip ko yung sa carens naman. ayun, hindi na nga pantay upod! hay....

i'm hoping it's just a wheel OR camber alignment problem pero for a car that has run over 22,000 Kms, parang may hindi magandang pakitain to ah...

first, the magnetic coil of our aircon (which I still hope is just a batch problem and not a flaw). now, tire wear.....

will take photos soon and post it here.
