    Hi guys. We have a fleet of L300 and Suzuki Bravo 1.0. All of these are with high milage, some of them reaching 300K km. These has been needing some repair one after another with some being able to run only a few Km before breaking down again.

    Being a noob in car maintenance, I have no idea if the mechanic is incompetent, or cars are really unsavable and needs to be replaced. I'd hope to get some second opinion from a reliable mechanic or shop that knows very well about it.

    Thanks in advance!

    How do you own a fleet of high mileage vehicles but are a noob in car maintenance? May iba bang namamahala sa maintenance dati?

    Basic lang naman ang makina ng mga yan. Mataas na nga ang 300tkms pero kung inaalagaan naman ng maayos tatagal pa yan. For hire vehicles rack up much more than that.

    Taga saan ka ba? Kung QC area ka, I can refer you to my trusted mechanic.

    They're actually delivery vehicles for our family business.

    We have had several mechanics, but from what I see, they only do band-aid remedies and not able to tackle the root cause of the problem. The current mechanic is no different, that the vehicle he fixed only ran for few km before it stopped. Our drivers refer us to their mechanics here and there, but I can't really tell in the first place if their diagnosis and workmanship are trustworthy.

    We use our vehicle mainly in Laguna area, but our home base is at Taguig.

    May I get his contact details? Does he have a physical shop, or does he go outside of QC as well? I greatly appreciate it.

    Malayo ka pala, other Tsikoteers who live near you might be able to refer you to good mechanics nearer to your area. But I go to Class A Motorcraft for routine maintenance and mechanical problems. They are located at Retiro corner Cresta St. near Banawe and Sto Domingo area. I normally only consult one of their mechanics by the name of Ayan. I do not have his personal number since I just go directly to the shop if I have a problem. Phone number of the shop is 4148633/5162533/3595400.

    IMHO if the car breaks down again a few kms after fixing, it means only the symptom was cured and not the root cause of the problem. It can mean a very costly fix or part replacement. Never settle for "remedyo", especially for the vehicle that puts food on your table.

    Thanks for the info. I appreciate it anyways. Might consider giving them a call one of these days.

    True. That's why I really would want to have them diagnosed properly to mitigate potential trouble for our clients.

    For parts, ang alam ko, Olympia sa Araneta Ave sells Suzuki. Hindi ko lang alam kung may mga marefer siyang mechanics.
