    Hi,

    I am going to have my chassis aligned due to a collision 2 years ago. There have been noticeable defects in the chassis, alignment in particular that spawned recently.

    Has anyone ever had any experience with their service and/or product output when it comes to chassis alignment?

    Thanks

    sir, di ko pa na-try magpagawa dyan. pero based sa threads ang daming di maganda tungkol sa rapide and shops ownded by it gaya ng sevitek shaw. so ang maipapayo ko lang is check mo muna kung rapide din ang may ari nyan.

    well i think you have no choice as of now i think they're the only one who have this chassy alignment machine , saturn closed due to broken chassy alignment machine
    make sure you ask how long will it take to do the job
    make sure ask how much your going to spend ( estimate )
    and most of all ask them if they included the 12% vat on your estimate
    baka magulat ka nalang meron palang additional 12% vat on all there charges including labor may 12% vat , thats what i experienced with them
    they gave me an estimate and when billing came ayun na ang +12% sa lahat


    workmanship : ok lang

    hmmm... ano kaya yung ok lang? di ako kasi makakuha ng clear picture between diamond casa vs velocity in terms of workmanship vs cost.

    ok means satisfactory ang gawa nila not good and not bad

    so you have 2 choices pala , pa estimate mo nalang
    sa velocity you have to pay 3.8k so that they can see the damage to your car they'll put it in the alignment machine to know how much they will pull or push after that they can estimate how much will be the cost kung ok na sayo estimate nila or papagawa mo na then you dont need to pay the 3.8k

    between diamond casa and velocity ano ang mas maganda in your opinion?

    sorry can't choose coz sa velocity palang na try ko
    but guess what mismo tao nila ask me kung magpapalign ako sana sa saturn nalang daw i told him hindi na kasi nanduon na oto ko sa kanila, so i was wondering bakit nya nasabi ito and later i found out na yun tao nasa saturn ang nag turo sa kanya magalign and maybe baka meron din syang commission if i went to saturn well hindi na natin malalaman ang katotohanan

    im not saying na dont go to velocity pakiramdaman mo nalang ask questions para alam nila your very concern sa workmanship important is makausap mo silang mabuti and take a look at there works

    All the restorers and racers bring their cars there. It's got a good reputation and a friend just finished his Civic there last year.

    You have to call ahead of time. The line is loooooooong. My car is there right now for a chassis check-up.

    Call them and find out. 02-721-2439

    Diagnosis is 3.8k. Repair is between 8k-12k... depending on how severe. Waiting time is long... so I suggest you only do it if you have a reliever car or if the damage is great enough that regular alignment services can't fix it.

    thanks niky for the help.

    tumawag ako a few days ago and they said they'll just call me back pag wala na daw pila sa diagnosis. pero wala pa feedback.

    wala bang alternative na shop sa velocity motors? Thanks

    Don't know any.

    Be patient... the line is VERY crowded. I was lucky to get a spot! Call back every few days or so, just to be sure.

    My car was put up on the rig Monday... they had an issue with the machine... but Tuesday I had the reading and Thursday afternoon it was done... I'll post up pics when I have the time.

    Tanong ko lang kung may shops ba na katulad ng velocity? Preferably in alabang area.

    Went there kanina and last monday. Walang magchcheck at mahaba pa pila.

    Searched the web at nakita ko may body alignment machine sa lica autonation. Hindi ko alam kung pareho lang.

    May bago bang contact number ang velocity shaw. Hindi nako maka contact sa mga numbers posted online. Tsaka may alternative shops ba na may chassis alignment machine? Need to fix my car ASAP.

any reviews/experience on velocity motors?
