Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[BlackG]

hi guys! how much did you shell out on your first 1000km maintainance?

free labor bro at my first 1k odo pms, just paid for 7 liters of synthetic oil 550Pph/ltrs but can use approx. 6.5ltrs, oil filter 520PhP.

[supercar10]

As far as i recall for my DSL variant , i pay almost P1,6++ in Toyota Makati last July 09.

It's free labor and you just need to pay for the oil and oil filter. Tell your SA that you don't want any additives or flushing as these will add to your bill.

For VVTi I did pay only for 6 liters oil and oil filter.

For D4d it will be 7 liters oil.

It should be less than P1,500

free labor bro at my first 1k odo pms, just paid for 7 liters of synthetic oil 550Pph/ltrs but can use approx. 6.5ltrs, oil filter 520PhP.

so basically change oil and oil filter lang for our 1k pms?

what if i got our innova running into flood caused by friggin ondoy? anything else needs fixing underneath the car? didn't know pasay was such a flood area, crap.

ps. let's give our blessing and support to those greatly affected by ondoy.

If you run on more than half wheel high flooded streets, it would be best for you to have your transmission and rear differential fluids change. They have breather and rubber seals on rotating parts which sometimes water seeps into it. You can have the fluid change at any gas station to be cheaper, it would be about 2.5 liter for differential and 2.5 liter for M/T transmission.

Mga bro I have this very sad experience sa Toyota Makati, Metropolitan Avenue kanina. I just got my car after being repaired for collision damage. Nagtagal din sya sa Toyota for almost 4 weeks. Kahapon kinuha ko sya, ayun mali ang color ng grills, My Innova is an E kaya body color ang grills, nilagay ba naman ay J... how can they overlook that. Since marami na ang mga for flood repair kahapo, pinatanggal ko na lang ang front grills para ma-repaint at inuwi ko ang Innova. I inspected the unit sa bahay. First I notice bakit madumi ang loob. Saka lahat ng compartments ng Innova ko kinalkal. Ang alam ko kasi sa labas lang ang damage ng Innova ko so they have no business na pumasok hangang second row at dumihan ang loob. Second, yung bumper reinforcement na pinalitan nila dahil sa damage sa pagkabangga, puro gasgas agad. labas ang metal, kung hindi pa tinaggal ang grills di ko makikita. Sa asar ko bumili ako ng automotive spray paint na itim at ako na nag nag DIY. Naayos ko naman at nakuntento ako pero ininform ko sila. Pangatlo, yung side garnish nabakbak ang stainless strip. Nadaanan daw ng buffing. Hay... pinalitan naman pero malabo na ang stainless kasi kinuha lang ata sa scrap.

Eto ang nakakapikon, kanina inuwi ko na sa office ang oto. Pagparada sa offcie sabi ng guard maingay daw ang makina, napansin ko na rin yun pero akala ko belt slippage lang kaya lumalangitngit. Nang binuksan ko hood nawala ingay so akala ko ok na.

Umalis uli ako kinahapunan, dumaan sa Buendia..bigla may narinig ako na tak-tak-tak-tak-tak sa makina. Pinarada ko agad sa tabi sabay bukas ng makina. Ayun nakita ko na loose pala ang lahat ng screws ng engine fan... malapit na matanggal... naku kung sakali wasak ang makina ko, radiator saka hood. baka nadisgrasya pa ako. Buti na lang at mabagal lang ang takbo ko kanina at narinig ko agad kung hindi disgrasya.

Binalik ko agad sa kanila ngayon lang at kinomplain ko sa management. bakit naman ganun, dapat dumadaan yan sa quality control. Nakakabwisit. Paano kung nsa highway ako at doon humiwalay ang fan..di disgrasya.

hay naku.

Okay, that's [SIZE=5]TOYOTA MAKATI[/SIZE] for everyone to be alert for.

Caveat emptor...

Thanks for sharing your story!

Somewhat related to the Toyota Makati sloppy works...

I noticed my Fortuner has a "tk" sound (metal tapping lightly on something) whenever I depress the brakes while in reverse. To hear the sound/noise, you need to open the windows and if you are around other vehicles, it becomes hard to hear.

Brought it to Toyota Makati and they recommended a brake cleaning for Php 8xx +, which lasted for almost three hours. After it was done, I checked for the sound but bec. of the loud music they were playing (for a promotion) I couldn't hear the sound so I just went home. When I got home and backing into the driveway, I start to hear again. So I brought it back to Makati after a few days (bec. of long weekend holiday). They tell me now that it is normal and they even showed me a customer's unit which made more pronounced metal sound.

Anyone experience this sound in their Innova while in reverse?

Problem now with most dealers, mechanics are OJT's they were just being supervise by a handful of trained and senior mechanics, and even the painters are contractuals.

Got same problem with these bad workmanship, so right now since I'm nearing my end of warranty. I do my PMS at nearby gas station where at least I could see what they are doing and at the same time I counter check their repairs.

Nagpa repaint din ako dati ng left fender and I found out that my left headlight has sanding marks plus I had to make them redo the painting 7 times

Hello there, I just need advice that I can relay it to a friend who owns a toyota innova. His Innova was submerged in water during typhoon "ondoy" at his house in san roque, marikina city.

Do you have an idea how much will it cost to make his innova running again?
Also what things should be do and do not to have the vehicle run again.

Thanks very much.

that is not good. flood in pasay was so bad, the entire wheel was submerged in the flood; i could feel the water under the floor..

[Wh1stl3r]

Apart from Toyota Makati's bad service they also cause quite a bit of traffic due to vehicles parked in front of, coming into, exiting, or just moving out of the way for other parked Toyotas. Tsk. I hope they could at least provide for another lot for the cars they service.

I'm worried guys.. Going into our innova's first 1000 pms, i heard all the casa's are a full house, that means service will be alot worst than it already is. What if "magic" service gawin nila??

Given my situation, which is running innova through a wheel high flood, A/T transmission fluid and differential fluid lang ba affected the rest ok na?

[Ason]

Not to put Toyota Makati down but I also had a bad service experience with them. During my 10K PMS with them I reported the broken aircon rubber hose na pinagdadaluyan ng tubig para tumulo palabas. Sa loob ito, sa pinaka ilalim ng mga control panel ng aircon switches etc, nasa sa flooring mismo. At dahil nababasa na ang mga carpet ko at bumabaho na, sabi ko paki check naman dahil under warranty pa sya. I was frustrated sa response nila na dapat daw pinapa aircon cleaning ko para di mabarahan ng dumi yung mga linya kaya daw nagka-crack yung hose. They didn't even bother check what the problem was or if they can replace the part. What I did was temporarily use a regular garden hose, cut the same size and fit it in. During my next PMS, I brought my unit to Toyota Ortigas and presto, they said that they will replace it since under warranty pa nga. Kakaloko di ba!

don't be alarmed, ok lng yan. casa will make adjustments on your 1000km pms. mention mo lang sa kanila na maingay

bro i would suggest you bring your ride out of town, have it serviced somewhere like Batangas or any other casa outside metro manila to avoid congestion at the casas here in metro manila, downside is it would mean additional expenses..
but on the brighter you could bring families & friends during the trip..

will still be in D Fort.

thanks , ms liv!!!

Pinalitan na yung drive belt ng unit ko last week. Saturday ko nakuha. Kaso nung monday, umulit uli yung noise. though, ndi ganun katagal o kalakas gaya ng dati. binalik ko sa casa for observation ulit. 30-day nman yung warranty ng job/work ng casa kaya walang fee. Kaso, I'm afraid na baka alternator or compressor na ang mapalitan or other parts na mahal. 15K yung alternator asembly sa casa.

Original ba talaga yung toyota parts dun sa store na 'gant' sa pasay? Magkano kaya ang alternator at compressor dun? Pwede kayang bumili ako dito sa store na ito tas dalhin ko sa casa yung part? Labor na lang babayaran ko sa casa pagnagkataon?

Has anyone here already had these parts replaced or repaired in casa or elsewhere?

What happened sa kettle sound of your innova,alternator pulley ba?what causes the defect?Mine was replaced(alternator pulley) but after less than a year it comes that squeeky sound again.anybody who can solve the causes ?
