wow ganito pala dito. kase nag pa change oil din ako sa rapide antipolo. they offered me the free check so i thought why not. tapos pag labas ng quotation 18k daw for everything. my car back then was a 93 corolla pero wala pa naman syang problema. inisip ko kaya ganun kalaki yung aabutin ng repairs kase matanda na rin talaga yung kotse pero now i know better. buti na lang di ako nagpaloko sa mga yun.

I should have noticed it right away.

I had my car checked up by them a week ago because I was having some aircon problems (sometimes the A/C would work, sometimes I would just get the blower working). And only a few days after I got my car back (without them doing anything to the car), the aircon started blowing in HOT AIR!!!! And my brakes went from OK to bad!!!

TERRIBLE!!!! Terrible, I tell you!!!
And I was not the only one in our family who had her vehicle checked by Rapid.

My sister had her car tuned up by them two weeks ago and while we were on the road last Sunday, the engine suddenly stalled!!! My BP nearly went off the roof! It was a good thing that we just needed to restart the engine for the car to move again.

... NEVER TRUST RAPIDE WITH YOUR CAR!!!!

Hehe, glad to be of help taisa_ayase

Since me phobia na ako sa Rapide, I just backed out and decided to proceed to Servitek sa Kapitolyo.

Pero naisip ko din na baka naman yung katabing shop ang talagang Servitek and di ko na check yung katabi. Medyo mataas kasi yung Servitek signage and baka nalito lang ako. Can you guys help me confirm this? Kung totoo nga na Rapide yung sa loob at Servitek ang signage nila, isa na naman 'tong gantso tactic nila

Same experience here! Hehe! Nagulat din ako to find out the staff were wearing Rapide aprons. Galing din akong speedyfix and went to goodyear just to ask how much ang shocks.

Anyway, I've had a look at their branches sa website nila and here's one of them...

GOODYEAR SERVITEK
SHAW CENTER OPERATED BY RAPIDE
500 Shaw Blvd., Mandaluyong City
Tel. Nos. 532 6665 / 533 5296

??? I guess this answers our question Beefcake. Ito lang ang only Goodyear Servitek operated by Rapide.

I therefore conclude that whenever you visit Rapide you will receive a warm welcome, a free automobile preventive maintenance check up and a P10,000 and above estimate of parts to be replaced. hahaha

Service deluxe talaga...pang VIP ang presyo whahahaha I-rapido na yan!

x1. Speaking of which, I asked for the price of a shock absorber. 8k plus isa so that would mean roughly 16k for a pair of front shocks. Sa Banawe ako nakabili. Around 3600 lang. Times 2 would mean 7,200 lang

this is kinda odd from Rapide' but my gf brought her N16 for tire vulcanizing. i'm surprised it was free of charge.

4 years ago nanikit ang preno ng 82 corolla ko, nag init sa harap ng rapide sa buendia. So pinasok ko dun, tiningnan nag estimate ng 5000 para lang sa linis at palit ng repair kit ng preno sa ialalim, no choice di na ko makakatakbo, late na rin ako. So pinagawa ko. By the way, galing ako imus cavite bago nanikit ang preno sa unahan at halos ayaw na gumalaw pag dating sa rapide buendia. The other day, kinuha ko 5K ang presyo. Inuwi ko pabalik sa cavite, talaba pa lang ako, nanikit na at ayaw na umandar. Pinahinga ko ng 1 hour at ayun nakauwi ako.
Kinabukasan kinamusta kung ok daw gawa, sabi ko ok, di ako nakauwi dahil sa ginawa nyo, pinababalik sa akin para daw palitan ng brake caliper. Nung sinubukan ko i troubleshoot ang sira lang pala hose! Dadagdag pa daw ako ng 7,000 para sa caliper.

Hayop na rapide yan!

Pero natuto din ako atleast. Bago ko pagawa, trouble shoot ko muna kung kaya kong gawin.
