    Mga sirs, need your opinions kung mahal o tama lang po ang singil ng mekaniko na gumawa sa aking sasakyan kanina. Ito po yung ginawa nya:

    1. Change engine and ATF oil
    2. Change spark plugs
    3. Drain/change water sa radiator and palit coolant
    4. Palit power steering fluid
    5. Palit isang front lower balljoint
    6. Tinanggal lahat ang gulong then check up kung may sira

    The mechanic charged me 1000 pesos to do those things. Want to know sirs if overcharge ba or hindi. If not, i will call him again in case na may kelangan gawin uli.

    Marami pong salamat..

    IMHO: murang-mura yan. I would have paid him double ..... if the job was done right


    P.S. I treat good auto mechanics are like medical doctors......

    if you find someone who does a good job and you can trust them, keep them and take good care of the client-technician relationship. don't come too cheap. remember: you get what you pay for. place yourself in their shoes. now, think if you were the technician, then place yourself as the client. think both sides. you want to maintain a good relationship with the ones you can trust and with the right skills, training and equipment
