    Manufacturer buy parts for their vehicle from the lowest bidder, and turn around sell it to you in much higher price. Buy guality parts from a well establish aftermarket company. You can buy remanufactured parts auto supply store but never go cheap on engine and brake system, those are the parts that your life depends on.

    For disposables like air and oil filters, 3rd party are fine. For parts like brake pads, timing belt, OEM always.

    Pag Fuel Filter (para sa EFI) mas maganda ba na orig or kahit replacement na lang?

    General auto under-chassis repair... replace your car's worn-out suspension parts, steering and other rubber bushing at the same time. Para balik original ang performance ng car mo, and it prevents BACK-JOB. OEM parts? mahal sobra. Branded parts like 555, KYB, GMB & etc are okey... But you can browse the net in the way this companies are going. They transferred their factories in Thailand & China. You see it's not all the "Made in Japan" thing that matters. It's the Brand!

    di ko alam kung saan ko ilalagay to, but..

    mga sir.. saan ba nakakabili ng good quality replacement parts? any specific brand? lets say.. for example.. yung cylinder head gasket. magpapa top overhaul kasi ako tomrrow, for a nissan.. nag dedebate talaga ako kung replacement or orig. yung replacement kasi, 800 lang. yung orig, 2.1k... omg! labog na yung 2k eh. plus bibili pa ng valve seal and manifold gasket..

    any shops you could suggest? or baka merong may shop dyan mga bossing. penge discount..

    tingin nyo mga sir, kayah kaya ng replacement part yung cyl head gasket? or major major part yun?

    if you're goin for the replacement part buy it from a store that sells oem parts too. usually pasado sa standards ng oem din yun parts na yun. pero in your case i would suggest that u go for the oem gasket.

    Hi Guys...

    Ano yung OEM?

    Ako yung Civic LXi 2000 ko sabi sa Casa needs replacement ng front shock absorber at trailer arm bushings totalling P20K daw though im happy naman with the guys diyan sa Honda Magallanes...

    Yung LXi ko though 115KM na ay wala akong problema sa lahat mula nabili ko 2nd hand noong 2002 (40KM na ito noon)...Wala naman ako nararamdaman except pag malubak daanan...Di kaya kasama lang ito sa preventive maintenance, noon pa 100KM ako niremind nito....

    Casa service ito every 10K at ang pinalitan ko lang ay mags (15") at MP3 yun lang mula sa stock and it is in excellent shape and look pa...

    Magkano kaya itong service na ito sa labas na shop (nasubukan ko na yung Rapide)...

    Any shop you can advise o refer who will do the job alright at a cheaper price...

    Thanks a lot...

    Also,

    Balak ko kase itong ibenta na tong Civic ko at gusto ko maayos naman makukuha ng bibili pero ayaw ko gumastos ng mahigit P20K di naman mababawi sa resale value...Balak ko itong palitan ng 2004 na Civic VTiS na black naman na napansin ko na maganda naman...

    Pasensiya na, 2nd car ko na ito (1st one was galant SS 99 bnew noon which did 90TKM pero sold dahil nagipit hehe)... Pero wala ako alam sa maintenance except to always have an oil change every 3TKM at full service avery 10TKM....

    Thanking you in advance for your tips guys...

    bilis nman nasira yan shocks mo sir. sakin 10 years hindi pa rin tumagtag.

    try mo pa 2nd opinion baka bushings or other suspension parts lng yan.

    liban nlang kung panay bagsak mo sa holes ng kalsada kaya parati stress ang shocks mo. try mo lng tignan kung where na part ang sira and try to check kung may tagas bah or kalampag.
