Rapide - Anybody have tried having their cars fixed here?

[vinj]

Rapide really charges an arm and an egg for their repairs... Last week we had our car sent there for an oil change. Knbowing their reputation, i instructed our driver to just have the oil change and not to listen to any of their BS recommendations. When i got home that night, i saw a list of their recommendations reaching around 8K or so (including resurfacing the rotors of a 3 year old car with 45K on the odo without any problems on the brakes :P).

Kung change oil job, oks lang as they have a cheap promo for that.

I had them estimate changing my rear leaf spring bushings before (sa pick-up) and they were charging me around 3-4K... I went to Wheelers in Banawe, got some original bushings from Nissan, and spent waaaaaay less.

I still get my tires from the smaller shops ( usually sa DKC) as I get to trade in my old tires which can still be used. I then go for an alignment outside.
