No offence meant but perhaps you should think of selling the car and getting a newer one in better mechanical condition and save yourself a lot of trouble.

Agree. Pwedeng kayanin ang gastos. Pero mahirap laging sumasakit ang ulo. Pero kung mahilig kang magbutingting okay lang.

Best advice IMO (see chris'). Dalhin mo na lang kung sino nakakaalam sa kotse mo. Normally kung nagtitipid ka, I can understand why you bring it elsewhere. Pero at the rate you're spending (parang casa na rin yang Rapide), might as well go back to its roots. Kung sa Marcos Hway ka nagpapa-gas, siguro sa Rapide Riverbanks ka nagpapa service. Just my guess. E konting labas ka na lang sa Riverbanks nandon na Honda Marikina. Suportado pa yan ng Honda (i've seen older cars still being serviced). Tho 10 years (lang) talaga ang committed support ng Honda sa mga units nila.

Experience ko lang sa Rapide Riverbanks: nagpa check (and service) na rin ako ng a/c system dyan. In all fairness, mas mura yong quote nila ng compressor (sa Vitara...OEM daw, denso) at aux fan (sa Mazda 323...motor lang ata pinalitran). Yon lang nga, alang 1 year lang yong compressor e umingay uli. Ang mahal din ng compressor (18k). Nang ibalik ko, (3 ba) or 6 months lang daw warranty sa compressor. Langhiya. Mahinang klase o baka in-overhaul lang ata. Balik na lang ako sa Pilhino. Kung minsan kase maski mahal pero alam mo na matino ang gawa (in parts and labor) okay na rin. Ang hirap naman nong sa mura e baka palit ka ng palit (o balik ng balik). Ang mahirap (like in your case at sa compressor case ko), mahal na pero palpak din ang part na pinalit dahil either substandard o hindi yon ang sira

been busy lately (going back and forth sa hospital)...

thanks sa mga advise ninyo.... just got the car last saturday from speedyfix...

yep sa rapide riverbaks ako nagpapaservice, might as well not go there anymore...sobrang hassle nung ginawa nila sa akin kaya ngayon ko lang nakuha sa shop ni sir migs...yung lumang computer box ko pa din ang kinabit nila sir migs, nag-rewiring lang sila ang put some missing sockets. mukhang okay na ulit yung car, naiuwi ko na dito sa antipolo e! hehehe...pero observe ko pa din daw dahil curious din si sir andrew hehehe...

will let you know kung ano mangyayayari

hopefully okay na talaga sya! :d
