White List: Auto Shops That Make/Made You Smile

***tsikot*** · February 8th, 2007 10:56 AM

Over there at Goon Squad HQ, we have heard of threads and posts narrating nightmares at certain auto shops (maintenance, repair, detailing, etc.). More often than not, we develop our own blacklists of shops to avoid like the plague.

But I am sure that there are indeed shops that do serve their customers well, not only delivering the basic services expected of them but delighting their clients as well.

Problem is, human nature remembers unpleasant experiences more and thus get posted and discussed more.

If you have any pleasant and worthwhile experiences with any maintenance, repair or auto-detailing shop that made you smile and would only be too happy to refer to your friends and relatives, post them here.

For we at Tsikot believe that good word, not only bad, should be spread around.

Mickey's Autosound.

Drove out of there happy and smiling with a simple and clean, but clear and great-sounding (at least for me) set-up. Smiling despite a thin wallet afterwards, hehehe! ;) Got a lot of inputs and advice from Mickey as well.

I went to this shop 7flags in Pasong Tamp, Makati, owner Ms. Eden- two weeks ago to have my tint done as most stores in Singapore tint cars in an air-conditioned room to help ease off the dust. I agree on this principle but refuse to believe on the service. I had my car tinted with Polar brand which they told me was better than 3M. Fine, after a week I encountered some bubbles so I headed back there and could'nt believe that the store closed down. They charged me 12,000 pesos and they went out of business. I met the landlord who said that they left without notice and have dissapeared in thin air. What good is this recommendation posted by MRC23? I also purchased xenon lights and they gave me a warranty for both items. Before you look for a shop, find out how long have they been there, I guess thats the first thing you ask before you decide to service your car.

After this horrible incident, surfed the web and found a store with this website http://www.lacaraccessories.com/tintroom.html

I highly recommend this shop la cars as the manager is a foreigner and they have been in business for more than 4 years. They apparently were the first tint rooms in the country and they did a great job with my cars. Their prices are just a little more but trust me, its a pay and smile for good service just like back home.
