has anyone tried toyota's Thunder services? does it offer a complete line of parts and services? why would anyone still use the regular toyota service if thunder which is cheaper is available? thanks for the inputs!

The Toyota Thunder service is being offered at their respective dealerships, i.e. Toyota Pasong Tamo, Bel Air, etc. It's for out-of-warranty Toyota vehicles like the previous generation Corollas and Coronas.

Basically, its still Toyota which provides the service. Only thing is, the parts are cheaper since they are not Toyota OEM parts. Rather they are made to the specifications of Toyota vehicles so that the owner of the car is reasonably assured of its quality.

Medyo mas mura rin ang Thunder service IMHO.

eto experience ko sa kanila:
My car is a 98 Gen 1 RAV. I noticed white smoke sa exhaust ko so I brought it to Thunder QA. I arrived mga 8am. Kaka open pa lang ata nila. Yung parang receptionist was reading the newspaper nung dumating ako. Ako pa lang ang nandun. Ni hindi ako tanungin kung ano ang kailangan ko. I had to call his attention pa samantalang nasa tabi lang siya ng door. Upon calling his attention sabi ko I would like to have my car checked. "Hi. Good morning, I would like to have my car checked. It is a Gen 1 RAV 4. I noticed it is emitting white smoke kasi eh." Sagot agad siya, sir di po kami gumagawa niyan eh. Dalhin niyo na lang sa likod sa casa namin. Kasi ginagawa namin dito is mga Hi Ace, Corolla, Corona at Tamaraw lang."
Ano ba naman yan, local released Toyota rin naman ang auto ko ah. Oploks. Obviously he didnt want to be disturbed reading his newspaper.
Pag dating ko sa QA casa, sabi dun "Sir, kelangan iwan ang auto niyo para ma check up namin. 3-5 days para ma diagnose." Dinala ko na lang kina Chieffy and change oil, air and fuel filter. Ayos na.

Hirap lang kasi sa casa ang dami nilang mga OJT. Kadalasan may problema sa trabaho. So kailangan pang i-back-job. Aksaya sa oras. Di kagaya sa mga suking talyer, maganda trabaho.

blackmagic, bad trip talaga dyan, yung rav4 ko din dati nung pinacheck ko ang brakes biruin mo ba naman hatawin sa loob ng paatras at di manlang tumingin sa rearview mirrow, siguro feeling nya dahil diretso lang naman paatras so no need to look at the mirror, pag tingin ko sa likod sabay sigaw may Fx sa likod, buti nalang naisingit ng Fx driver sa isang open parking space kundi sapul!!! Hayop na iyon

Meron ding similar concept ang Nissan. Key Value naman ang tawag sa parts. Pero sa same service area din ginagawa para hindi naman discriminated ang dating.

Hello bros, just joined today and so far I have been learning a lot about car stuff! thanks guys for your helpful infos and ideas, I really enjoy visiting your site(it was very nice!), anyway just want to vent out my disappointment on toyota thunder service (specifically in balintawak) I have a 2003 altis and have it serviced twice at toyota balintawak, to be honest I was dissatisfied with their service, first of all the receptionists are not that accommodating, car service are quite questionable(quantity over quality?), and to top it all, my car cover was missing after I left that casa (just noticed it after a couple of days,) Kaya sana iwasan nyo tong casang to as much as possible!
