    I used to be a faithful rapide customer until I read that thread in the other forum about one of their mechanics pouring oil to the sparkplug socket. :-|

    I forwarded the thread to the email address of their CSR. Though they confirmed the incident, it took them 1 week to reply to my email. Lalu tuloy akong na turn off sa kanila.

    We had our Corolla 1990 tuned up in Rapide Pasay road. ang MAHAL! tapos nagkamali pa ng computation sa babayaran namin. Kaya, nag thunder service nalang kami sa Toyota Shaw. Hinding hindi na kami babalik sa Rapide.

    Ayun pa nga pala ang isang hindi maganda sa shop na iyan. They do not like to 'fix' parts. I guess it would be too time consuming and not good for the business.
    yep. pansin ko rin. ang una nilang ihihirit e replace agad. but when u get to other shops nagmumukha kang praning kasi simpleng bushing lang or seals lang pala kelangan palitan. cguro nga hindi rin kaya ng mechanics nila ang mag ayos or malaki lang talaga kita nila sa parts.

    kung change oil lang, puwede na sa rapide. Yung P499 promo nila change oil (AC Delco), filter and wheel alignment is very cheap compared kung magpapa change oil ka sa Shell, Petron or Caltex. Bayad ka kasi labor pag nag pa service to these gas stations. They also accept major credit cards na walang surcharges. Yun nga lang mahal talag piyesa nila and puro palit piyesa kagad sila "preventive maintenance" daw.

    Most of the time I receive calls from their csutomer service reps asking me to evaluate their service and facilities. Honest naman yung feedback na binibigay and apologetic yung mga reps nila. Ni rorotate ng duty yung mga supervisors nila every month sa mga branches nila sa Metro Manila. Kaya iba iba yung mga bisors na humaharap sa akin every time I visit their shop sa Marikina Riverbanks.

    mahal nga ang parts at labor sa rapide. 100 to 150 % ang markup nila sa parts. yung isang shop na pinagkukunan nila ng parts nasa Vito Cruz ext. Millenium ata yung name.

    Rapide charges you a lot! Tama yung isang posting, they will just recommend that you replace the parts, they have never recommended to fix -- basta palitan lang! I used to go there before, but ayung nga, laging na-ooveruse ang credit card ko so para silang kasa kung magcharge! AND to make matters worse, di din naman kagandahan ang service nila!

    Would it be a good idea to get new tires from them? i'm thinking of getting from rapide(better living), servitek(better living), or bridgestone(the fort). Which store of the three would you guys recommend for good tires?
