Rapide - Anybody have tried having their cars fixed here?

If you just need tires, the small shops in Blumentritt will usually give you the best price.

I've never gotten tires from a 'name-brand' store ever.

if you can afford to go to alabang, try minerva tires. the prices are cheaper, although the service is a little bit so-so. but the heck. you will only need your tires to be installed diba? kung baga, the trouble of getting there + the low price of the tires will compensate.

tama sila. kung tires din lang, wag ka na dun. baka kung anu anong "sira" ang makita nila pagkinabit na yun.

one advantage of buying from brand specific stores is the free alignment they usually include in the purchase, aside from the usual balancing. pero alam ko mas mahal yung prices nila. so parang na offset din. hanap ka na lang ng generic shop na may alignment para malibre na yun. kung kaka-align mo rin lang, any small tire shop will do. mas madami pa magiging choices mo ng brands.

so..pretty much our comments are almost all the same..so..whats a reputable place to have our rides fixed or maintained?

Sa S&R diba mura gulong with warranty at free stuff din?

About the service mahal talaga ang charge nila one time nga, nag-paestimate ako ng aircon walang hiya they charge me P24,600.00 sabi ko di bale na lang; linis nga lang ng aircon they charge P6,000.00 na eh kaya dinala ko na lang kay Mang Mario they only charge me P200.00.

ghost_2192,

sa rapide sucat p'que.

When they charge me for the aircon first sabi ko cleaning lang, tapos naging major repair sabi nila may sira na ang compressor ko evaporator needs to be replaced what so ever damn, tapos they charge me P24,600.00 for the whole repair na tapos sabi ko cleaning na lang first sabi nila it would cost me P2,000.00 plus then naging P6,000.00 what the heck backout na ako sabi ko no offense masyadong overprice na ang charge ninyo. Criminal talaga presyo nila.

nun nagpapalit ako ng brake pads sabi nila kelangan daw reface rotors ko so, pumayag ako tapos gusto ba naman ako i-charge ng labor sa pagpalit ng pads. hindi ako pumayag kasi paano nila ire-reface rotors ko kung di nila tatangalin brake pads ko.

Freddie's along Evangelista also sells relatively cheap tires. Comes with free balancing, weights and rotation. Wala nga lang alignment.

So di advisable magpa-align sa Rapide? May promo kasi sila 600 lang for all four wheels.
