800pesos charge for cleaning power window motor

**prot** · July 30th, 2010 08:50 PM

Just wanna ask you guys if you know that shop in las pinas... I think it was also named tsikot.com (don't know if it's related to this web site) It was across star mall and near the entrance gate of philam subdivision. My concern was that the mechanic, who just cleaned the motor for the power window (driver's side) of my lancer 2000 mx, charged me 800 pesos. Actually, his initial charge for the job was 1200pesos. I just asked him to lower his price, so he said 800 would be fine. No part replacement... That was just for cleaning the motor that got stuck up for some reason.

Anyways, I just wanna know if the charge for the labor was too much.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Too much. Because if you will buy a second hand (suprplus) motor it would only cost you 500 plus labor of 300. e di mas maayos pa... If cleaning lang dapat 300 lang yan.

nakapagpagawa na rin ako dun minsan pero 250 lang labor + tip..medyo mahal yata yun kung cleaning lang pero depende rin siguro kung mahirap ang ginawa..sino dun, yung mataba o yung maliit? kaya nga rin ako nagpagawa dun dahil tsikot.com ang name ng shop..

Actually, nagpagawa na rin ako dun dati, sa nauna ko kotse. 3 minutes away lang din sa bahay namin yung shop. Kaka ata name ng gumawa, yung medyo kulot ang buhok. Nagtiwala lang ako, kaya di na nakipagargue, at kasi nga kilala naman nya ko. I had to get it fixed due to time constraints. May trust na rin naman kasi ako sa kanila dun...and, nabaklas na rin yung sidings para nga makita yung motor.

Well, this is a lesson for me. Akala ko kasi yung shop is affiliated with this web site kasi yung tshirt nila tsikot.com din, so I trusted those guys. Siguro, di muna ko papagawa dun or bili accessories. Dami ko na rin kasi nabili dun. Di na rin ako siguro magmamadali sa pagpapaayos kung di naman ganun kailangan madaliin. I have to think more than twice kung medyo sobra laki charge, at baka nga nanloloko. Isipin ko na lang baka kailangan talaga ng pera nung taong yun kaya naningil ng sobra. I hate to admit it, pero, naisahan ata ako dun ah.

Better yet, sa casa na lang siguro magpaayos lahat. Sabay na lang sa mga major jobs para hindi sayang sa punta at pila din kasi.

Sad to say pero mukha ngang naloko ka nun. Tip lang..basta pagpapagawa ka at walang papalitan na parts 300 minimum..minsan nga pag mabait bait yung mekaniko 300 is good for 2 doors. Basta wag kalimutan tumawad.

Pag more than 300 pesos normally yan yung mga maraming kinakalaga like water pump or timing belt.

The best way pa rin para makatipid pagnagpagawa ka manood ka para next time DIY na lang.

Thanks for the tip, Libme. But, that shop is already marked...

I'm from las pinas and lagi ako nadadaan jan. Every time na magpapaquote ako jan laging taga presyo. Kaya I end up na dumayo na lng sa malayo or iplano na lng sa ibang araw kung magagawi ako north.

GwapZzZz, baka may alam ka shop, just in case for small repairs and installations lang naman...yung hindi naninira ng kotse para meron ka uli ipagawa o bilhin sa kanila.

May experience din kasi ako dun sa accessory shop sa urci, before casimiro, kung papunta alabang...I think alam no rin yun. Isa lang naman car shop dun. Nakita ko kung pano sinandal yung side cover ng pinto sa glass ng bintana kaya nasugatan yung tint. Parang aksidente lang yung nangyari...pero, pagtapos inalok ako palagyan bago tint. That time, nagpalagay naman ako central lock para dun sa una ko kotse.

The shop beside hapchan restaurant, ganun din...not reliable... Nagpapalit ako kasi funfare horns sa kanila. Nung tinanggal yung bumper, basta lang nilapag kahit mabuhangin yung flooring, ayun may scratches tuloy bumper ko.

Saan kaya shop sa las pinas may matino mekaniko (yung hindi naninira) for simple installations, modifications and repairs? I've noticed kasi most of the mechanics na nakita ko, kahit nga sa shell times, eh, wala ingat kahit mabangga at magasgas ng tools nila yung sasakyan.
