I was quoted by Toyotama P3200 for the 3 parts (by twos) and estimated labor was 1200 sa lahat.
Will check magkano singil ng KTM sa labor.
By the way, had my pms at dadudz. Thanks for mentioning the shop name sa vios thread. [emoji106]

Ryan (the owner) is an expert in vios. Afaik, the parts he sells in his shop are just a few pesos (or hundred) bit more than banawe prices, but for the convenience of not sourcing the parts yourself, mura sya.
SOP nila dyan to inspect the entire car and give out reco but not force you to buy from them

They don't have the parts that time. Trav was telling me to buy the parts and bring it back to Ryan kaso alam mo naman by schedule dun, malayo pa sakin (will keep going back for pms or other repairs though). He gave me recos naman sa atf dialysis, except for these suspension parts. Ako talaga maghahanap.

meron pa ba nag ooffer nun "repair" na better than orig nga mga stab links rack end tie rod? sarado na kasi zee eh
For atf, make sure you use the proper fluid. T-IV or WS, depending on your engine. A mismatch can damage your tranny.
Lately, what i do is call known autosupply, haggle the price and when we agree, fund transfer the payment and get lalamove to pickup the item. Saves me time and some money too.
Btw, good bushing brand is RBI and costs 280 sa banawe. Suspension parts go for 555.

You're welcome LM. I'm sure all the guys' recommendations here are good choices.
Hirap lang i-recommend yung other places near us in Rizal. I have no firsthand experience with them. In a few months I can recommend a shop that's just about to open. It might be a little closer to your location.
In the meantime maybe ask a brother or other relative to go with you?
Time and availability. [emoji30] I barely have the time myself to be honest. I know what you mean that's why I'd rather ask around first for recommendations. Kahit mas malayo or mas pricey, isang abala na lang kesa mas ma-inconvenienced ako pag palpak or hindi honest. We have a Motech near us, quoted 13k to change fuel something about my rough idling, without even doing elimination check to see what's the root of the problem. I went to Dadudz in Caloocan. After cleaning maf and tb, meron pa din. Turned out it's the spark plugs.
Salamat ulit. [emoji4]

You are too kind bro. I hear the owner has little to offer other than a pleasing personality 😇
While there are those who are just out to make a quick buck (I was also a victim of this), I'd also cut the good shops some slack. Imho car troubleshooting can be hit or miss even for the best guys. The ones with a lot of experience just have a higher chance of making the correct diagnosis.
Best we can do is take it to a couple trusted shops or more and compare their findings.
