Dear tsikot peeps and experts,

Help naman po ako, my car is a honda civic vti ’96 or ’98. Since i don’t know anything about maintenance, i didn’t know that my car already needed some major repairs... I would just like to ask for the prices of the following underchassis parts, since most of the problems identified by an automotive shop,(in which by the way gave me a free estimate) i’ve consulted are mostly located there. Though im convinced to what the damages they have shown the only thing that bothers me was their pricing. I have got a gut ffeling that these guys are trying to take the opportunity just because i don’t know anything about automotive maintenance and the like… one thing came to my mind… how honest are these guys? When it comes to pricing… anyways i would just like to ask you fellow tsikoteers of these underchasis parts i would enumerate, please also write your estimated price of the identified part (s) on the 3rd column
please. Ayaw ko lng kasing magoyo at ‘mataga’.. Thanks hope you could help me..
