u.s. emissions spec cars

[niky]

to rephrase the question, where are the u.s. specs and u.s. standard cars serviced? cars with abs, climate control, active suspensions and body controls serviced? are there enough electrical specialty shops in town?

Qualify what you mean by "US Standard"? Because many globally marketed cars sold here have ABS, climate control and body control modules. And they are usually serviced by the casa.

If you mean high end and luxury cars, there are a few aftermarket shops that can work with the electronics.

Philippine market cars are not "third-world" compared to US market cars. In fact, we get more sophisticated diesels here than they do. Aside from most local luxury diesels here not having urea-injection like they do in the US, there is not much you can get from a US import that you can't get with the locally sold versions.
