VOLVO OWNERS: Where to have your car serviced ASIDE from CASA?

[corvax]

volvo owners, share naman kayo dyan kung saan pwede magpaservice ng mga volvo natin aside from CASA. sobrang mahal ang mga presyo nila!! nagpaquote ko ng parts amounting to almost 100k pesos! and mga parts to due to normal wear and tear lang since alagang alaga yung kotse.

oo mga pala, 98 s40 yung ride

[OTEP]

'97 850 here.

Sa Casa pa din ang maintenance pero as per what we want lang. Not as per their overbloated list. Some items, like the cabin filter don't even need to be replaced since the vehicle is running on recirc mode 100% of the time.

A/C stuff, pwede na yan kay Mang Mario (though getting to the evaporator requires dashboard removal).

Suspension pwede na kay ZEE though we have not broken anything on ours yet.

100K?? Anong parts papalitan? Can you give us a list maybe our fellow tsikoteers would be able to refer a shop or two

pero may discount naman daw, 20% i think. at yung dalawang parts na tag 20k, di pa naman daw sure kung kailangan palitan.

also, nagtanong na din ako kung kailangan palitan ng ATF kasi 50k na tinakbo. sabi 80k pa daw. pero ang daming nagsasabi na dapat regular ang palit ng ATF.

oo nga e, nagiisip na rin ako. pero may sentimental value yung auto sa akin e. actually hindi naman sya naging sakit ng ulo sa service. ngayon lang maraming papalitan. so far ang napapalitan palang yung mga brakepads at isang idler pulley. but aside from that puro km service lang.

Corvax,
Pinatalon mo ba ang Volvo mo? Bakit ang daming papalitan? Oil at filter lang naman ang maintenance dapat as well as a few minor items.

Sir Otep,

hindi ko nga pinatalon yung volvo ko. actually nawala kasi ako ng 1 yr, at yung kotse ginamit ng mom and sister ko, feeling ko dun na nagumpisa yung problema. minsan pa naman sa lubak shoot talaga sila kahit anong iwas nila. sabi wear and tear parts daw sila. malakas yung vibration sa dash, sabi galing dun sa engine angchorage,Engine Pad front at Engine Bracket. pag binukasan yung hood kita may biyak na sa sa engine angchorage, tapos nung tinaas yung support sa ilalim meron din. actually yung brake pads gusto ko na patingnan sa ibang shops na gumagawa ng brakes. also read about bendix brake pads, are they any good?
