    Where's a good place to to have my shocks replaced and maybe my suspension fixed at in and around the Cavite area? I live in Imus. It has come to a point where my front right side shock dips and tilts...it makes me look like I have a hydraulic suspension. Thanx in advance for any replies.

    kung gusto mong makamura (and still used your old shocks), CRUVEN in wakas, kawit (conversion of your shox to gas type and then refill)

    if you want to replace it already, just buy from an autoshop (marami nyan sa imus) then palagay mo na lang (shell along the aguinaldo hi-way, makalampas ng LTO mura ang singil nila ng labor)

    Thanks for all the replies. The price at Cruven to replace and the labor, is it relatively cheaper than other shops? And how's their reputation for honesty? I've been getting ripped off lately (but who hasnt been ripped off heheh) THanx again guys. Tholitz..yep, i know that place, if i decide to go the route of buying then having it installed..i'll do that.

    Also..how much should I expect..or would you expect it to cost to have my two front shocks replaced at Cruven?

    Price * Cruven (Wakas, Kawit, Cavite)
    convertion & refill = P750.00 / shox
    labor = P200.00 / shox

    normally, cruven charges around 50-70% less than buying brand new parts. this is because they repair your shocks/joints. they don't use brand new parts. but, as mr. manny, the manager of cruven sucat told me, may mga instances na hindi na rin nila ma-repair yung shocks. eto eh kung sobrang sira na yung internals ng shocks (nangyayari daw ito pag pinabayaan ng sobrang tagal yung sira). if this is the case, better to get new shocks dahil ang gagawin nila is to buy a surplus unit tapos yun ang irerepair nila. cost is around 10% cheaper na lang.

    pero kung repairable pa i recommend that you do this approach.

    hindi sya masyadong makikita on the physical side eh.... aside from the oil leak sa may shocks mo, which hindi rin naman nangyayari sa lahat. my shocks were busted but when i took them to cruven for repair, walang tagas.

    makikita mo yan sa ride quality. pag aahon ka ng humps, medyo may bounces pag lampas mo ng humps... or pag malubak ang daan, umaalon ang oto mo.

    another checking scenario is when your car is parked. diinan mo lang yung rear or yung front mo where the shocks are located and release it. the car should not bounce.

    restoration of rear shock & refill = P850.00 / shox
    labor = P200.00 / shock

    sir HG : salamat sa nice suggestion na magkaroon ng discount para sa tsikoters...

    saka, mabait naman si manny eh. at the same time, syempre suot ko ang bagong tsikot t-shirt ko...

    ot : payo ko lang, bago magpagawa ng auto, dapat suot nyo tsikot tshirt nyo baka makadiscount pa hehehe

    my car recently visited cruven kawit and let me just share my good experience with cruven as a whole. i didn't know how to get there so i called the crame branch. and the person that i talked to was very helpful. he gladly answered all my queries including price estimates. he also gave his referral. i came from work and so, i got to cruven kawit past 6 pm already. fortunately, manny and co. were still repairing one car. i'm glad that they still accomodated me and gave a free check-up on the car. imagine, the casa advised me to replace the tie rod, rack end, ball joints, and the whole suspension assembly. due to financial constraints, i had to look for a cheaper alternative. sorry for making this sound like an ad but boy was i happy with cruven. my car is now kalampag-free! and i only spent P5500 for everything. so thumbs up for this shop. really great service.

    Is Cruven (Wakas, Kawit, Cavite) still open? I think I have a problem with my front shock, but I want to go to a reliable and affordable shop in my area. Imus, Cavite sana.

    This thread is dated 2007 pa, so I'm not sure if the rate is still the same.

    Thanks in advance!

    if you want to alternative it already, just buy from an autoshop:
    it would be the best and the least and the cost-effective offer for you to be acknowledging and actually when i had the same type of aspect i simplu just bought from the local automobile shop:
