Why 2 days for 40K PMS sa Toyota Alabang?

[Tikoyman]

I was wondering why it will take that long to keep your car in casa for 2 days?
I enquired at Toyota Pasong Tamo and told me that it will take only 2 hrs to make the job done.I booked my appointment yesterday morning... interestingly, they did it in 2 hours plus free car wash. Hinintay ko na lang yung 1.8G Altis ko sa customer lounge and i can see from there that the service advisor himself is doing the the job w/ another 2 mechanics....Kudos to the professional attitude of Toyota Pasong Tamo staff esp to Mr. Randy Santana, the service advisor....

40K PMS job.
--ATF/ Motor oil/ Brake fluid/ steering fluid/ coolant...... changed
--Tire rotation + brake pads changed
--Fuel filter/ air filter change..
--tune-up
-- +++++ underchasis check/greasing/lubrication.

They flushed the fluid lines at may mga japanese team doon na mino-monitor ang trabaho nila(dry run pla yun). kaya nga pati service advisor involve sa trabaho. 3 silang na-trabaho sa isang sasakyan. According to them, may bagong rules TMC will implement to remove all backlogs in their service lines.., magdadagdag sila ng madaming personnel para ma-decongest ang service area nila.

Pero ito ang bad trip.....Sa June 2006 ko pa makukuha ang Fortuner ko. delay ng 2 months na naman.

speedyfix: Normally how long does it take to do a 40K kms PMS, can you give me a timeframe? thanks

[BlueBimmer]

thats one well maintained altis

ang bilis nga kung 2hrs lang, kasama na ba car wash dyan?

usually, it will take at least 3hrs, excluding car wash, to change all those fluids. baka naman ni-suction lang sa reservoir yung brake fluids at hindi naidrain yung sa mga brake lines kaya mabilis.

At Shell (Ortigas Ave/Connecticut St in San Juan), I had my wife's car (a Sentra 97) tuned up, change oil/sparkplugs. It took about an hour lang. Enough to finished watched Andromeda on AXN on their TV. Actually, slightly less than an hour, I wanted to finish watching Andromeda lang kasi... hehehhe :D

Sa Motorcraft Banaue, I arrived there at around 9:30am buti na lang at nasalang agad. Availed a change oil, fuel filter replacement, brake cleaning & adjustment, replace brake and clutch fluid, clutch adjustment and a wheel alignment. Wala pang 12pm tapos na.

Actually kayang-kaya yan ng 2 hours. Simple lang, while waiting for the oil to fully drain then do the rest of the job.

[speedyfix]

probably around 3-4 hours. baka they have speed bleeders for the brakes kaya mabilis. i like to make a couple of complete passes kasi kaya mas matagal, but sure na walang natitirang maduming fluid.

[the_wildthing]

Pwede 2 hours kung maraming taong gumagawa. Baka sa Alabang isa na lang ang mekaniko nila. Hehehe.

IMO - masyadong mabilis... heck... a proper carwash will already take 30 minutes to finish.

ang usual PMS ko with Toyota Shaw-Ortigas is around 4 hours.

I'd rather wait for a bit longer than to have all those jobs "rushed" just to meet some freaking deadline.

i usually arrive at toyota commonwealth around 7am, nakapila na ako, most of the time start sila sa sasakyan namin around 8-830am.. finish at around 12nn.. palaging ganun. right now im at 56000++ km

im living in makati, im considering kung sa toyota makati or toyota pasong tamo nalang kaya ako papaservice? hehe pero gusto ko kasi ang service ng toyota commonwealth
