car shop surprises me with a report that my distributor is dead?

david,

As a shop owner myself, the internet is a double edged sword, wala kang control sa praises and complaints ng customer, the best thing to do is to settle the problem and klaro ang issue, meaning, kung kasalanan ng shop talaga, panagutin mo, if di mo talaga ginalaw, lalabas at lalabas din na natsempohan ka (the shop) lang ng "last-touch" scenario.

That is so true. Unfortunately it is also understandable for the end-user/customer to demand satisfaction. Kahit sila ang "last-touch," a huge catastrophic failure na wala naman dun sa ginawa nila is pretty darn annoying.

I guess this wouldn't be a factor if we weren't such a poor country. If all car shops had enough margin that they could absorb the occasional part replacement, there wouldn't be any problem. I recognize that even the best of car shops can occasionally suffer from such bad luck (which is due to careless employees!) pero kung ikaw yung customer, you wouldn't be very forgiving lalo na kung mahal yung part na nasira..

This is especially true for older cars, wherein di mo masasabi kung may natabig na wire lang, nawala na daloy ng kuryente or something like that.

also true. I've been putting off the major repair on my car (what do you know... distributor replacement) kasi takot ako na baka pumutok din yung ECU in sympathy at ma-do-doble ang costs ko.

Saan ba ako makahirap ng oscilloscope? meron ba kayo sa Verifone? hehehe... :D

best thing is not to leave your car na lang..

cocoy, dun sa case ko, nandun ako the whole time. but i couldn't watch everything. di naman ako mekaniko eh.

Thanks to the people who replied and gave their opinions. I did not post here para siraan ang shop na ito. I would have not posted the name of the shop dahil alam kong maganda sila trumabo, wala akong planong manira. Tinanong kaya sinabi ko.
Nilabas ko lang sama ng loob ko.

Feel free to visit the shop, great prices and services, madaling kausap si sir toti, gave a discount the moment he knew that i am a member of tsikot! Try their technology, silicone injection and repair of shocks. Pwede ka din magrequest kung anong gusto mong pressure. Warranty maganda din, 6 months for the shocks and whoa! 15000 kms for their silicone injection! That's how confindent they are on their service!

[theveed]

Do a search about ZEE CAR PLUS.

Satisfied customer din ako dyan, unfortunately di lahat, officemate ko nagkaprob din sa kanila.

I'm scheduled for a full underchassis repair/restoration next month as well. Excited na ako hehe

sure ka ba na yung nakakabit na distributor sa car mo e talagang sa car mo yun o napalitan? meron ganyan na mekaniko, kasi iniwan mo dun yun car mo e di pinitik tapos pinalitan ng sira. that is why i always insist on having a check list done before i leave my car in a repair shop. pag umaandar nung iniwan ko dapat umaandar din pag balik ko. baka dinelihensya na yan ng mekaniko dun at binenta tapos palit yung sira.

i had mine done last week, medyo took longer than i expected, had to leave the car overnight.. pero the work is great, saw how his mechanic works, pulido naman...

i was there last saturday..... i had my shocks repaired.....medyo natagalan lang dahil 4 yung ni-repair....almost gabi na rin ako umalis.....tinutukan ko yung mga mechanic ng humahawak sa car ko.....nung pauwi na ko...bigla bumigay yung alternator ko....i was really surprised na bigla bumigay yung alternator ko without warning because no electrical works were done on my car.... (just a freakin bad luck) i had no qualms about the mechanics working there, they know what they are doing.....
