Casa service?

[Bubbles]

Majority ng nakikita ko dito bumabalik sa casa for regular maintenance. What are the advantages of this? Till when do you bring it back for service?

Curious lang ako kasi wala sa mga oto namin bumalik sa casa. Once lang after break-in. Then next oil changes I do myself. and all other maintenance. I'm happier with my own workmanship than some mechanic. Happy ako gumagawa (relaxation ko ito). Another reason is cost. Pag may problem na iba and I can fix it tapos mura lang ako na rin kahit under warranty pa. Pag malaki naman ang sira pinapabalik ko and they fix naman. Minsan mapapansin kong may napalitan pa na iba. may silent recall pala.

Haven't bought a new car in 2 years. nagbago na ba patakaran sa warranty? kailangan ba ang casa maintenance?

casa maintainance siguro habang under warranty pa.

kasi halimbawa nasira yung aircon compressor, e alam mo naman dito sa atin sasabihin na narira po yan sir kasi nag pa change oil kayo sa labas.

kaya more like tiyagaan na lang after warranty BYE BYE casa.

[pissword]

yan din kinakatakot ko eh..baka kasi pagmedyo malaki ang sira ng car then dpat na under warranty ba biglang sabihan ka na nasira yan dahil sa pagpagawa nyo sa labas ganun,.. medyo play safe na muna siguro. pero 3years un warranty ko haha 3 years akong pupunta ng casa

I still go back to the casa when the car is under warranty, and i've already claimed some work repairs under warranty as well. Outside of the warranty, we go during the major service stops so i can make use of the computer diagnostics as well. The warranty claims based on regular shop maintainance varies between particular claims AFAIK.

The big factor on why i still go to the casa from time to time is because i can trust the head mechanic in the particular casa i go to. He has also solved something in one of our cars that a non-casa (or maybe even some casa) guys couldnt figure out... with a simple and free remedy at that. Also, some stuff in our cars cant be adjusted without the help of the CONSULT computer at the casa, or is easier to adjust and find particular settings with such (dang i love those things, i can adjust timing and stuff while the car is moving )

However, i if i didnt know anyone or have good relations with the shop i go to, i wouldnt go there often either (especially when i'm out of the warranty period).

sa casa, sigurista sila. halimbawa may problema sa underchasis, papalitan nila lahat nila ito ng bagong parts para sigurado ayos lahat. hindi na manghuhula pa kung ano/saan ang diperensya.
kaya kailangan, marami kang pera kapag sa casa ka magpapagawa.

yup, because of those computer/electronics thinggy, kelangan na nating mag rely sa casa. hindi kaya gawin ng suking mechanic natin yun. and takot din galawin ng mga mekaniko ang mga newer model cars.

naging problem ko yan dati sa galant vr namin. papalitan ko lang ng spark plugs, kelangan talaga casa. kelangan kasing tanggalin pa yung intake manifold para lang ma-access yung 3 spark plugs.

yung patrol din nga muntik ng hindi ko mapa-change oil sa labas. ayaw din galawin. sagot kasi sa akin "sir, hindi pa po ako nakakagawa ng modelong patrol". sinabi ko nalang na akong bahala.

I like to buy simple vehicles. Para hindi na kailangan ng Casa.

[Bubbles]

Tama like me. NO computers at all. pwede ko ilubog sa tubig and not worry about anything. Hmmm... magimport kaya ako ng diagnostic computers? whatcha think guys? If I can give you that, pupunta ba kayo sa shop ko?

Want a timing belt tester? Or I could sell you a MARLIN unit, just point to a hidden bearing, it gets vibration, temp and grease density. Pwede pa upload sa PC.

uy ok yun ah.
