800pesos charge for cleaning power window motor

[prot]

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...

ano po nging problema? kung alam nyo po naloloko kyo please ask the manager yung situation.. and ask some advice... sorry for what happen.. hinde po alam ng management yung issue n to...

[gwapZzZz]

Sir for minor repairs po kasi as much as possible po DIY na lng. Intensive research before I proceed. Kung no choice tlaga, then tsaka naman ako research about the best shop na gumagawa regardless kung san located. Although one instance, kelangan magpagawa ng actuator for my civic. Nagcanvas ako kung how much and I end up dun sa shop na katabi ng Divine light academy makalagpas lng ng RFC if going to coastal. I find the price fair and the service, professional. Ayus naman magtrabaho at pinapanood ko siya habang ginagawa yung replacement na actuator. No shortcuts and malinis pagkagawa.

Sir, thanks very much for looking into this matter. Actually, I was an avid customer ng shop niyo since our house is just nearby. There are other auto accessory shops in las pinas, pero, nakuha na yung trust ko dati ng shop nyo. Kaya for simple repairs and installations such as central lock/alarm, stuck door locks, lightbulb and horn replacements, eh, derecho na ako sa inyo. Dati naman kasi yung involved nga na mechanic nyo na usually nagaayos ng kotse ko, eh 250-300 lang labor charged sa akin.

So, nung recent visit ko nga para maayos yung stuck power window ko, eh, I was really caught unguarded kasi nga nagtiwala na nga ako sa kanya. Kaka ata yung name nya. Siya yung kayumanggi ang kulay at medyo kulot ang buhok...maliit din tulad ng partner nya na singkitin. Inisip ko na baka nga ganun talaga ang cost for such job. And, 1200 pesos ang singil nya nung umpisa...humingi lang ako tawad kaya binigay nya 800 pesos.

Medyo awkward na rin tumanggi kasi nabaklas na nya yung sidings ng pinto sa driver's side ng kotse ko, tanggal na yung motor, glass, and electrical wiring. Medyo natakot din ako na hindi nya ayusin pagbalik ng mga parts na tinanggal nya, considering din yung mga screws, pagtumanggi ako. So, pumayag na ako dun sa singil nya, since busy din ako for the past few weeks kasi may project din ako inaasikaso...wala na time to go to other shops and naguulan pa.

Anyways, sir, pakikausap na lang tao nyo sa nangyari. Alam ko alam nung kaka yung naging transaction namin. Naghintay pa nga ko tapusin nya yung pagtint nya sa isang customer na nauna. Nagtiwala lang talaga ko, sir, at sana huwag nila sirain yung trust ng customers. Malaki din possibility, sir, itanggi ng tao nyo yung ginawa nya...pero, masaya na rin ako nakarating sa management, lalo na sa inyo, bilang owner ng shop, yung incident.

Sana hindi na maulit sir yung nangyari...concerned lang din kasi ako sa brothers and friends ko na nagpapagawa sa inyo. Also, maging automatic na rin pagbigay ng resibo for every transaction. I've noticed kasi, hindi na ginagawan resibo unless na humingi ako. Pero, yun nga, for the last transactions na pumunta ako di na ako nakakahingi...

Salamat sir uli sa pagsagot sa concern ko. God bless...

Ako din maki-ride na sa thread...
Nagpagawa na ko dito once...horn installation (labor only). Ok naman ang singil nila 800pesos din!(kasi nagkabit ng 1 bosch relay) so nakabit na at happy naman me...
Eto na after 2 days namamaos na busina ko (i side na lang gumagana!) I went there for a back job and ng inaayos na..ayun napansin ko kulang clips sa ilalim pala! Naayos naman nila but doubtful pa din ako kaya DIY na ko baklas bumper and walah! yung mga ginamit na wires eh pinag dikit-dikit lang at iba-ibang kulay pa! tapos yung isang wire na nag-connect sa isang horn eh sinlaki ng Christmas tree cable! Hayyyy..after that eh pinaulit ko yung wiring at at sumumpa na kong di babalik doon sa shop!
Ok si sir Caloy kasi nakausap ko but yung tao nya ang palpak sa tingin ko...lalo na yung alak-trician kuno! Isipin mo naman naghintay ako 1-2hrs. bago dumating yung guy eh 8am ako nandoon...so super late na kung pumasok...
Sensya na Sir Caloy but buti na malaman mo ginagawa ng mga tao mo. Just venting out..
