With a strong, provocative name like Caltex, this particular chain of gasoline stations manages to…read moremake itself visible in the alternatives they provide by trying to keep the cost as low as possible for the roadside consumer who is on a daytrip. With many Caltex stations on most highways and at the end of Skyways, it is inevitable that one manages to experience a Caltex gas up and oil change at least once in their lives, even when their family does not own a car (for who can forget that Metro Manila has a great deal of transportation and commuting alternatives, between tricycles, FXs, taxi's, jeepneys, trains, cars, pedicabs, vans, motorcycles and so on, and so forth?) and manages to observe the different ways the street culture has taken up these stations to fuel their thirsty engines. Caltex provides many a road rider and motorist an alternative and also gives quality and varied services to them.

There are a few legitimate things that we need in everyday life - food, air, money (keeping it…read morereal), love (keeping it cheesy), and gas. Yes, gas. No, not the one you get when you laugh too hard. I'm talking about the gas (or rather oil) that literally fuels the factories and vehicles we all rely on. There are so many options for us to gas-up, but ninety percent of the time, we head for the branch of Petron in Pamplona Dos, along Alabang - Zapote road. It's not just convenient because it's right outside our village, but the service is wonderful. It can get busy during the rush hour, which I believe is a sign that they have good service, since most gas stations have the same rates. Despite the rush, they gladly offer to check on the coolant and water level of my car, clean the windshield, and check on the tire pressure. Props to our favorite gasoline boy Jonass (yes double S).

They have a few restaurants here. There is Balai Pandesal and also Dakasi. Also, behind the gas station is a bus stop and jeepney stop for people who are traveling to and from BGC/Makati. The only reason I gave this gas station a 4 Star is because the gas prices are a bit more expensive here. That's understandable because of it's location. So, good luck to you fellow traveller!

The staff is friendly and HONEST. I cannot even count the times I've gone in to my car to find 5 pesos to 200 pesos sitting on the passenger chair that I'm sure they found under the seats. They've found and returned SIM cards and a 300 peso load card, all of which they place on the passenger seat when the car wash is done... Kudos! The wash is always great and the prices reasonable from 130 to 160 I think. I have an SUV and its 160. The facilities are clean and the waiting area has clean seats and a fan always running. Great great job!

Man, they transformed it--interior deep clean got rid of every crumb and stain I didn't even know was there, and the exterior polish made the paint pop like it was brand new. The guys were super thorough, no rushing, and they even pointed out a couple of small scratches they buffed out without extra charge. Waiting area was comfy with cold AC and decent coffee while I waited. Worth every peso--my ride feels premium again. Hands down the best detailing spot in the metro. 5 stars!

My friends and I took a trip to Enchanted Kingdom last week and we panicked as we realized that the AC was no longer blowing out cool air.

Thankfully, when we started gaining speed, the AC returned to its normal self so no longer did we have to come here.

One of the most reliable auto service shops is Rapide and they have countless branches all over the city. It isn't hard to spot them with their huge Yellow and Black logo around any area you're in. I'm glad that they put up a branch just right outside my village so I don' mind leaving my car there for maintenance. They have expert mechanics to orient you with what needs to be fixed or replaced with your vehicle. They also have vehicle parts available within just a few minutes. I also love their customer lounge where they offer coffee or juice with their comfy sofas and a movie while you're waiting for your vehicle to be fixed. If you're looking for a reliable auto expert shop with good customer service, Rapide is worth a shot.
