Honda cars are always very reliable. We've had our cars for over 10 years and people still remark…read morehow new it feels. What I really like about Honda cars is the powerful air conditioning system. Unless it's scorching outside at noon, I've never needed to turn on the air conditioning full blast. I'm sure there are more technical explanations but I am a mere layman and I can only appreciate the obvious. Honda's service center is also one of the best. While anyone can easily go to Banawe to find a talyer to repair your car, having your car repaired at the official Honda service center ensures that the problems WILL be solved. They have the tech that talyers don't have and also superb training. Because repairing cars can get expensive, they offer a diagnosis categorized into what needs to be repaired immediately, what requires moderate attention and what can wait. This way, the customer can manage expenses through the year.

Speedlab is one of the more popular garages that can make your stock commuter sedan into a vehicle…read moreworthy of a cameo in the Fast and the Furious series. I had to deal with Speedlab regarding my office projects, and I never realized, until that point, how much these "racers" were really spending on their cars for an upgrade and a tune-up. Their dynamometer system is topnotch, and I don't think there is anything else in the Philippines like it. The usual dyno system has the car run on a big roller, but their system actually attaches to the car at the wheels. This eliminates any calculation for losses in tire pressure and misalignment on the rollers. Their garage also does a lot of customizable upgrades, depending on the client and the type of car they have. After a few weeks of spending more time at the garage, we started about talking about working on my new car. He suggested that I upgrade the intake and exhaust system, and add their special "Unichip" computer system. When we discussed price, my jaw dropped. I told the owner to give me sometime after I fully pay for Miranda, and then I'll come back and treat her to something nice.

I thoroughly appreciate the service I experience here at the Paco branch of Union Motor Corp. When…read moreMiranda, my 2013 Mitsubishi Mirage, needs an oil change, or any preventive maintenance tune-ups, I would bring her here. Their staff is friendly, and easy to talk to when you need to make a service appointment. Even if you don't make a prior appointment, the guards at the gate are accommodating to walk-ins, and will direct you accordingly. There was one time when I got Miranda back from a repair job, and I didn't notice that they switched the wiring of my front and back wipers until I needed to use it (a week after I got the car). When I called to complain, they told me to just bring it in whenever I was available, and they'd take care of it, no problem. When I brought Miranda in, they took around 20 minutes after taking her inside the service area, and they fixed the problem, and released the car, with no charge to me. I am quite happy with the kind of service that they give to their customers. Their preventive maintenance prices are relatively cheap, and they even have a bullet service available (I think they charge a premium for this), which will get you and your car in and out of service within an hour.

With a liking for dependable (and fast) cars, my Dad got not just one or two, but three different models by Subaru. He does the regular maintenance himself for all three, but when it comes to things beyond his toolbox (or research), he goes to Motor Image Manila Bay. He doesn't just go to there because it's the nearest, he also goes there for convenience. Sounds odd? Other than not having to order and get genuine parts shipped from wherever in the globe, the small or minor parts are almost always in stock there. They source it and install it, and they own-up to faulty jobs (which rarely happens anyway). Because they are the official dealer, they have a name to protect and reputation to uphold, which in the end means they will do anything and everything for the customer to leave happy; even if it means having to replace all four wheel bearings for one faulty bearing twice, just to honor the warranty with no questions asked. It may be a lot cheaper to have our cars repaired and serviced by third party shops, but when it comes to genuine parts and dependable service, we would still rather head there.
