Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

**number001** · February 16th, 2007 07:29 PM

The Innova has been in the market for 2 yrs already and I cant wait for Toyota to release a new face-lifted version soon. I hope this year. I also wish they at least add power locks and a rear wiper to the J variant.

Ganito kasi, I parked my Innova (released Jan22 '07 lang) at SM Centerpoint last night Feb15. Before going inside the mall, tinitignan tignan ko pa sya. Wow! Ganda talaga, parang si Angel Locsin. Kahit saan angle tignan, the best. After two hours, I went home. Eto na, sinalubong ako ni mrs sabay turo sa INNOVA, "BAKIT PURO GASGAS YAN AUTO MO?!?!" Pu....I..!!! Kalahati ng front bumper ko namumuti sa pintura. May sumabit sa INNOVA ko habang nakapark ito sa Centerpoint. Nung tinignan ko mabuti, yun ibang part makukuha sa rubbing pero may part na nascratch talaga body paint e. May I ask from all of you INNOVA lovers out there, saan magaling magpa retouch ng bodypaint? Yun parang bagong labas ng casa ang end result. I live in San Juan. Maawa naman po kayo, wala pa 1 month INNOVA ko, na rape na.

1st, natutuwa ako sa message mo kasi damang dama ko ang nararamdaman mo. 2nd, i'm so sorry for what happened to your car. and last, subukan mo kina zinngoy (search mo na lang sa More Than Looks section). magaling gumawa yun. diyan lang sila sa may pasig. btw, mas maganda kung buong bumper ang ipa-pintura mo. mahirap habulin kung spot o retouch lang. hindi din naman ganun kamahalan. dagdag pa: kung buong bumper lang ang ipapa-pintura mo, wag mo na idaan sa insurance. e mas malaki pa participation ng insurance kumpara sa gagastusin mo sa pagpapapintura ng buong bumper. mas hassle pa ang insurance. doon ka lang sa accredited shops nila at dami pang paper work.

After a sleepless night of thinking about my scratched INNOVA, I left my house early today to look for a decent autoshop. First, I went to Big Bert Detailing at G.Araneta. Di raw sila paint, referred me to Clifford's at E.Rodriguez. Mga p1500 daw siguro charge. Went there, punong puno. Sabi ng supervisor balik daw ako monday, makuha car wednesday. Estimate nya p3500. Went to Banawe thingking of Mega Motion kasi nung high school pa ako sikat sya for body paint. Before reaching Mega, I saw M7 shop which was clean and the cars being serviced there were quite new. Estimate was p2500 and I could get my INNOVA by 5pm in the afternoon. True to their word, I got it 5pm sharp. I'm very impressed with their work. PARANG WALANG NANGYARI SA INNOVA KO! Sabi pa ng gumawa, "Sir, balik po kayo next week para rubbing pa natin. Lalo pa yan kikintab." Eh I was thinking to myself, "MAKINTAB NA A." Hay salamat, makakatulog na ako.

Sir GLImamasan, tama po kayo. Inefficient security ng SM Centerpoint. Sigurado nag alarm INNOVA ko nung nasabit. Siguro nagtago na lang yun guard.

Sir Luigi, I also thought of having my insurance fix it. Kaya lang based on experiences with my previous car, sobrang hassle e. Takes time and paperwork to have it done thru insurance. Thanks anyway for your advise.

Sir mdacs, SM na naman?!?! Ang tindi no? Pagbabayarin ka ng parking fee tapos wala namang matinong security. Ok naman sya pasyalan. Kaya lang nagbabayad naman tayo, diba? Sana they can provide good services naman. Hindi yun puro contractual ang employees nila mapa security, saleslady, cashier, bagger, etc. Ang resulta parang mga dummies lang tauhan nila.

Sir tiu00, thanks for your advise din.

Sir smooth, sensya na po at di na ko mapakali kaninang umaga kaya ayun, naghanap na ko ng autoshop. I had the whole bumper repainted and as mentioned above, satisfied po ako sa ginawa ng M7. Thank you po sa advise and insights nyo. I appreciate it.

congrats sa iyo. in the end, wag natin lagyan ng presyo ang kaligayahan natin (lalo na kung affordable naman). buti pina-repaint mo na. its not worth the P2,500-P3,500 na inis na inis at suyang suya ka sa isang bagay na kakabili mo pa lang.

actually parang nangyari na din sa akin yan. noong bago pa innova namin ni misis (circa april 2005). nung umatras ako sa parking namin sa bahay, na-atrasan ko ang kalawanging drum na basurahan ng kapitbahay namin. actually mahina lang at walang masamang nangyari sa basurahan. pero may konting gasgas sa bumper ng innova (fyi: sobrang nipis ng pintura sa bumper ng innova). hindi din ako mapakali. kaya't dinala ko agad sa detailing shop (right there and then - kahit hindi pa ako naliligo) para ma-rubbing. buti na lang nakuha naman nila.

congrats uli sa iyo.

Got the same problem right now, pag uwi ko kagabi napansin ko yung lower front bumper ko ay may pahabang putik, yun pala eh eh may sumabit na. May natanggal na pintura at yung iba na scratches eh nakuha ng rubbing patse pero some part eh litaw ang black

What color yung Innova mo? kuha ba nila yung color+metallic glaze? Mine kasi eh Night Mist color. Better have it done na rin sa labas and not sa Insurance para less hassle at mas mura, mas mahal kasi participation fee sa insurance.

Laking San Juan din ako since birth, sa may likod kami ng Aquainas.

Sir smooth, thank you po. Tama po kayo, di po pwede lagyan ng presyo ang kaligayahan natin. Napansin ko nga sir, manipis pintura ng bumper ng INNOVA. Nung liniliha kasi sya, ang bilis nawala. Thank you po uli sir.

Sir Mile2, yan din po tinanong ko sa M7. Sabi nila lahat ng auto may paint color code. Tinignan nya sa loob ng hood. Nakasulat po dun. Yun din ang lalagay nila sa pagrepaint ng damaged portion ng car nyo. My INNOVA is J variant color silver. Identical linagay nila na paint. Yun sa inyo po sure makukuha din nila. Laking San Juan din ako since 1975 pa. Bandang Xavier naman. Pagawa na po nyo INNOVA nyo para mawala na yun asar, hinayang, sisi at lahat ng negative vibes. Totoo sabi ni sir smooth, di pwede lagyan ng presyo kaligayahan natin. Kaya let's enjoy the best car, our INNOVA!

To all INNOVA owners out there,

May nakita ako sa Sta. Mesa area around 4pm last feb16. Red INNOVA sya na nakaset-up. G or V variant sya. Yellow headlights, 16" or 17" mags, european plates sa likod. May roof rail sya tapos may linagay na black moulding sa lower portion ng backdoor nya. Astig! Dun ako interested sa black moulding ng backdoor. Parang wala sa market. If anyone out there knows this, please advise. If you happen to own that INNOVA, galing mo sir!
