So thats the catch with the seem to be affordable Vitara. They screw you with the PMS.

Hmm. . . having second thoughts about buying my wife a Vitara suddenly. Was planning to arrange the bank loan papers this week. Any other issues with Suzuki's PMS? Can they legally void your warranty even if the official manual contradicts what the casa insists should be the service interval?

When we had our 2005 Suzuki APV back then, we did not have issues with warranty claims even though we did not follow the service intervals as stated on the manual. We bought the unit because we simply liked it. We kept it for 12 years. Served us well. Mas sirain pa nga yun Toyota Liteace namin na in my opinion, gave Toyota a really bad rep . . .

If some guys are making a lot of scam issues about Suzuki's PMS, let them cry it out if they will sleep better at night. At least Suzuki AFAIK, is not endorsing X1R and a line up of fuel additives on their PMS . . . that's the real scam for me haha!

X1R: something you don't need but if you'll jump through some hoops they'll remove it

Suzuki-PH's 3x-a-year PMS: something you don't need but if you'll jump through some hoops they'll remove it

same type of scam

it's really no big deal. i simply voted w/ my money and didn't buy a suzuki. but it's DISHONEST to not call a spade a spade

no wonder pinoys always get the short end of the stick when it comes to PMS policies coz people don't seem to understand what a scam is

if they saw thru the scam, and still proceeded, it wouldn't be a scam. it would be "poor judgement".

all one has to say is, "next time na lang, wala sa budget, e. yung regular na lang muna."

Better wait for the facelift. It's all-around better than the pre-facelift.

Also think about the parts availability, it takes a while kase. Like 3-4 months for a simple side mirror.

just talk to them.

semi-annual check-ups are just right.

first 1k pms, i just let them inspect the car. manual states.

paid 150.

bought the car end of february this year.

casa scheduled the next pms before the end of june.

waited for their call as i went beyond the shedule.

after a few discussions, agreed to bring the car before the end of august.

was able to follow the correct interval.

still, the odo clocks in at 3800.

the car is still under warranty.

they are reasonable enough to understand your concern. you just have to talk to them.
