2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

[wayward]

Update lang sa LX CRDI ko:

I had the 1st 1000 kms check-up/ PMS done at Kia Mandaluyong last Friday.

Spent the following: P900 for 6 liters oil, P525 for the oil filter and P12 for the cotton rags. Add the VAT and the total was P1,609.44. Went there at 130pm and was finished by 345pm.

The SA told me that their labor charge for the next 5T kms is at P1.8k.

My tank is nearing empty (591 kms in tripmeter), will give you update once I had it full tank'ed tomorrow.

BTW- had anyone of you install an aftermarket foglights? Where and how much? Will this invalidate the warranty if done outside of authorized Kia dealers?

TIA!

What?! dats quite puzzling, i paid nothing for my 1st 1000 PMS. D people there told me(KIA ILOILO) dat the 1st PMS is free and will be billed accordingly sa 5t PMS, didnt bother to ask nga lng f hw much. No offense but i think uve been duped...in my past experiences, d norm is dat d 1st PMS is always free, im just taken aback why u were charged for d 1st PMS. BTW, my unit is a crdi MT, so far so good sa FC, a slight improvement subsequent to the 1st PMS.

I was driving home yesterday along SLEX in my old car and saw a red Carens EX zoom past me. Hehe... I couldn't catch up in the fast-moving but heavy traffic.

Only the labor was free. Mas maganda siguro yung deal na nakuha mo. ewan ko dun sa iba kung free lahat basta 1st 1T kms.

Quite puzzling nga, i had my 1st 1000PMS at Kia Bacolod and i also paid around P1600.00 for the oil and filter, free na ang labor, isang owner lang ang kia iloilo and bacolod, btw where ka sa iloilo??? i grew up in iloilo but i transferred to bacolod nung year 2001.

I had my crdi m/t done two weeks ago when it reach 1000pms in Iloilo, for FREE! We are getting good deals here, Thanks to Mr. Lim of KIA (iloilo). I didn't bother to ask how much it gonna cost on my 5000pms coz i will have it done in kalibo. The road going to Iloilo from Kalibo is pretty bad, sumayad na ako. Mababa kasi ang carens, but it was my choice, i wanted the feel of my old car, with the ammnities of mpv/suv for my small family. So far my only complain is still the the footbrake, nahihirapan ako mag-park pag naka incline...oh how i miss my old car's handbrakes.

Hmmm... I never considered that challenge... Bro Magnusthegreat, do you have a manual or an automatic?

Natutuwa na ako ngayon... when before I hardly ever saw a Carens on the road, nowadays I get to see one or two (this morning, I saw three - a black, an aqua blue and a silver) whenever I drive to and from the office.

industry standard talaga is labor is free, unless your dealer has access to free original kia oil filters and oil (or talagang mayaman). you said "will be billed accordingly sa 5t PMS". baka doon nila ilalagay yung cost ng parts. check mo lang.

pero kung libre nga talaga, then wow!!!

mqavila, bantayan mo na lang kung saan nila kukunin yung unit. bantayan mo na lang discussion. tutal ikaw naman magbabayad niyan, hindi sila. just making sure you DO get the best deal possible. diba?
