Strada PMS thread [ARCHIVED]

[av8or5]

Hi guys, to help new and old owners, lets post our feedback on PMS, what dealer, how much, etc.

I'll strart,

1KM PMS
Dealer (Citimotors Las Pinas)
Oil (mineral)
Cost P2211.76
Breakdown:

Labor: Free
Engine Flush (amalie) P284.07
Mineral oil P1093.05
Oil Filter P834.62 w/discount P927.36 w/out discount.
Service shop consumables Free

5KM PMS
Dealer (Union Motors Manila)
Oil (customer provided)
Cost P1846.12
Breakdown:

Labor: Free
Engine Flush P695.00
Oil (Motol fully synthetic P3700 customer provided)
Oil Filter P995
Cleaning Materials P150

From my experience, laki difference between the two dealers on engine flush and cost of oil filter. If I was to compare both dealers, ill choose citimotors instead (facilitity, billing system, price). Other members, breakout your PMS records and post them here. This will be beneficial to all.

1,000 kms PMS on my 4M41 * Freeway Baliwag Bulacan.

Oil Filter = 1467.18
Mineral Oil 9li = 1,211.58
Including VAT = 3,000 Total Cost

As suggested by the dealer, Synthetic is recommended...but theres no problem also using mineral oil.

Great Idea Av8or5!

Talked with the Service Manager, may memo daw sila that fully synthetic na ang ilagay for our engines pero that is good for 10k kms and palit oil filter every 5k kms. Naubos lahat ng 8 liters oil na dala ko and they said to bring additional 2 liters sa 10k PMS ko for top-up. My mikey thompson tires are ok for them so warranty is not voided. They also checked the uneven stance of my strada - 12mm and 11mm (tolerable variance is 10mm) so they ordered the suspension parts sa planta and tawagan na lang daw ako kung kailan ko dalhin for installation.

But wait! There's more... they will also install a leafspring silencer for my strada FREE OF CHARGE, kasama na sa pagpalit ng suspension parts to correct the uneven stance...

Thats not all! (hehehe, pang infomercial na ang dating ko ah!)... they also gave me a VIP Card for additional discounts for my succeeding visits... 35% off sa parts and 15% off sa labor... NOT BAD AT ALL!

Downside lang is that medyo madami ang nagpapagawa sa kanila... i arrived 1030 am and nakalabas ako 430 pm na, naka-apointment pa ako ng lagay na yun... pero dami ko kasi pinasilip eh, hehehe. Good thing kalapit lang nila Sta Lucia Mall, dun na ako nag-lunch and nanood ng sine to kill time. yung carwash nila after the service is mediocre.

May flat screen TV sila and couches for their clients... free juice, coffee and tea with matching service attendants na taga-timpla... CR is clean... and they have a viewing area so that the owners can see their vehicles while being serviced. Over-all satisfied ako sa service and facilities nila.

Medyo OT... may nakita pa ako dun na client ko who owns a 2007 lancer and pinapaservice nya... after talking to him, i-trade in na daw niya lancer nya for the 08 Strada GLX... right there kinausap na agad yung SA niya... in a few weeks hopefully may bago na naman tayong additional member, hehehe

Kilala na ang Strada Club dun... pati guard on duty nag-greet agad sa akin pagdating ko, he was asking kung madami na daw tayong members... dami na kasi tayong members na kumuha ng strada sa kanila eh...

For those who posted their PMS details, thank you. For the others, please post them here. From the few that posted, I already saw the difference on how dealers would price their PMS. Even so with the same dealer, different price for their oil filter (i.e. Diamond Marcos Hwy (thepatriarch & leomarley)). Again, I am basing this on the figures posted here. I know that time can also play a factor on prices, but I bet leomarley 1K PMS and thepatriarch 5K PMS is within a month apart, so dapat their oil filter price should be the same, unless one of them posted a wrong price. Assuming everything is correct, i still see differences, like other charges, what is car care kit? and why is union motors charging their customers engine flushing every PMS? I saw that on their list and I asked why do they flush the engine at every PMS, while other casa don't. as per SA, its a directive from casa. I said if it was a directive, why other dealers don't have this billed in their bill, wla sya masabi. If you look at the regular pms leaflet coming from them, wla naman nakalagay talaga.okay lang if it doesnt cost too much, but at P695, thats huge, almost the price of the oil filter.

and just like thepatriarch getting this card that can save on parts and labor, I also got one, so I guess it's a promo for all dealers (thats MMPC directive) hahahhah.

btw, bawal OT dito, this is a reference thread. just post your findings and comments related to the topic.
