Ano ano ba ang mga dapat gawin? Can you list it down here for us? Baka naman kaya na ng Caltex ni Chieffy ang mga services na iyan (for way less than Php 11k).

Other reputable mechanics:
*Sir ferdie in Obrero
*GlennSter's shop in Kamias

ang mga trabaho daw ay ito:

replace timing belt
perform tune up
replace front brake pads
inspect suspension
inspect door hinges
inspect / tighten suspension

drain and change oil fluids? ano kaya mga fluids na 'to?

all i remember ang quote sa parts ay 8000++
quote sa labor 2000++

original suzuki parts daw

kaya ayun nag balloon sa 11k na presyo

punta ka sa fronte (kabignayan, banaue) or olympia (araneta tapat ng arlington)

Palagay ko kayang-kaya yan ni Sir Chieffy. Si wiretap_md dun nagpapagawa most of the time but he gets the parts from Olympia. Pag nag-expire na yung warranty ng Vit ko, ganun na din ang gagawin ko para makatipid.

replace timing belt ---> nagagawa ito ng any competent mechanic
perform tune up ---> ito din
replace front brake pads ---> pano nila nalamang ubos na? Check muna dapat before replace
inspect suspension ---> sa casa dudungaw lang ang technician sa ilalim tapos sasabihin: "Ok naman pala lahat"
inspect door hinges ---> ito naman bubuksan ang pinto at sasabihin din ulit ang: "Ok naman pala lahat"
inspect / tighten suspension ---> chicken lang ito. Kahit si kimpOy kaya ito

drain and change oil fluids? ano kaya mga fluids na 'to? ---> malamang engine oil (and filter) saka yung fluid para sa differentials (front and rear), transmission, at transfer case. I don't know kung kailangan mo na magpalit ng clutch at brake fluid as well as engine coolant pero kayang kaya ito ng kahit sinong mekaniko (e.g. Cuz Ferdie, Chieffy, GlennSter, etc.).

Presyong holdap ang binibigay ng CASA sa iyo.

I literally changed my whole front suspension just this month c/o Chieffy's. Palit balljoint, tierod, rack-end, idler arm bushing, centerlink. Original 555 replacement parts ang ginamit ko for all the components except the centerlink where I had to get OEM Suzuki. P11k is too much.
