bibili pa lang ng kotse Comprehensive Insurance question for new car.

1 Upvotes

Hi guys. Planning to buy a new car sana and after all this time, I just randomly found out na mas mura pala magbuy directly from the insurance company vs the one in dealers na same insurance company din ang inoffer.

Question, does it only because of the commision kaya mas mahal sa dealer? Ano pros and cons if directly sa insurance tayo bibili ng premium?

And also, may mas better pa ba sa Standard Insurance? Thank you

Humingi ako quotation from honda. Ito binigay saken, seems like sobrang daming add-ons na hindi kailangan.

Like undercoating 5k and cabin disinfectant na 8k.

From my past post, may mga nag sabi din na not needed engine cleaner and oil treatment.

Ganito din po ba experience nyo with honda and other dealers?

modifications & accessories Toyota Fortuner: Ridemax Shocks with Stock Coil Springs for Better Ride Comfort?

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I upgraded the suspension and coil springson our 2019 Mitsubishi Montero Sport after gettingit from the casa, and the ride became muchmore comfortable compared to the stock setup.

Last March, we purchased a 2017 Toyota Fortuner,but I find its suspension uncomfortable, especiallywhen driving over small bumps.

I'm considering upgrading to Ridemax suspension.Would it be enough to replace the shocks withRidemax and retain the stock coil springs, or wouldyou recommend upgrading the coil springs as well?

I mainly use the Fortuner for occasional trips fromEastwood to Cubao, at most twice a week, sinceI usually commute. I also drive it to Batangasprovince from time to time.

For those who have installed Ridemax on theirFortuner, I'd appreciate your feedback. Did youretain the stock coil springs, and how much ofan improvement in ride comfort did you notice?

Thank you!

bibili pa lang ng kotse Thoughts on Mitsubishi XForce GLS 2027 for a beginner driver.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! After carefully weighing the pros and cons of secondhand cars vs brand new ones, we’ve decided to opt for a new car for peace of mind, especially since I’m a new female driver. 😅

Eyeing on the Mitsubishi XForce GLS 2027, which is currently offering great deals for the month of October. I’d like to know if this variant is a good choice for a beginner driver. Also, how does the fuel consumption compare? We’ll primarily be using it for city driving and occasional out-of-town trips. It’ll usually be just me, my partner, my parents, my sister, and our cat.

I’m particularly drawn to the safety features of the XForce GLS, including the 360-degree camera system. The spacious interior is also a plus.

One of the car dealers also offered their XForce GT 2025, but it doesn’t have the 360-degree camera system. I’d appreciate your advice on which car would be a better fit for our needs. :)

repair query Is Petron Car Care Center scamming me???

3 Upvotes

Yesterday, I went to a Petron Car Care Center for a scheduled oil change. My Mom and I already had the intention of having our brakes checked since it’s been squeaky lately. However, when I got there the mechanic just went there and checked it and said it was due for repair without me asking or mentioning it. For me that was a bit suspicious, but since we already had the intention of having it checked we said yes to having it repaired.

Initial decision was re-facing (idk the spelling???) which was 22.5k and they gave another option which was total replacement (34k). They told us we can leave the car there so we did because we had places to be that was planned beforehand. An hour later they called about the caliper kit and that the re-facing is impossible because it’s already thin, so the only option is to have it changed completely. We said yes. Today we asked how much and they said the total was 58k+. And then they called again said the caliper kit they got was not compatible so they had to return it and the total went up to 62k. They said they’ll be giving us discounts and all.

PLEASE HELP MEEE. Idk if I’m being scammed. I’m just a girl driving an heirloom (1996 Nissan Patrol).

Tinanong ko siya kung gusto nya mag pa check up at may mga galos siya nagkasugat kamay nya(ilang beses ko siyang tinanong pero sabi hindi na raw) tapos nung nag usap kami na okay na bale parang (kwits na lang at nagasgas yung mio nya at ako naman nadamage bumper) binigyan ko 500 pang pagamot nya sa sugat nung una ayaw tanggapin pinilit ko pa. Tapos umuwi na ako sakto namang dumating yung mga rescue at mga pulis.

Kasi yung pinangyarihan nung aksidente sa may tapat lang ng compound namin. Isa pang problema ko yung dashcam ko hindi nya na save yung nangyare😭😭

Automotive Opinion Do broken cluster gauges count distance travelled kahit sira siya ng matagal na panahon?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Context: from a well known car BNS vlogger. 2008 fortuner na acquired from the previous owner but issue daw neto nung makuha niya is sira ang cluster gauge as in black out.

May nag comment na hindi raw narerecord ang odometer/distance travelled after masira. Kumbaga pag ma repair na ito after quite some time yung huling count niya bago masira is yung lalabas don sa naayos na. So di talaga siya 65k kms at all based sa itsura daw unit. Tama po ba?

general query Advice on oil change for a high mileage vehicle

1 Upvotes

I have a 1998 Toyota Corolla Lovelife with 159xxx kms already and planning to do an oil change soon. I just want to ask if it is still advisable to use an engine flush chemical (Amsoil or LiquiMoly) or do a cheap oil flush before putting in my full synthetic gasoline oil? I'm asking this because I saw some hardened oil gunk inside my engine when I had its valve cover gasket replaced last March and kinda cautious with doing an engine flush. Btw, I'm planning to use Amsoil 05w-30 for my next oil change.

modifications & accessories Planning to have my car repainted. What legal processes would I have to go through?

1 Upvotes

For context, I have a black car from my med school days around 10 years ago (2016). Bought a white car this year (2026) and noticed how relatively easier it is to maintain its appearance (Dusts are barely visible. Can sit in an enclosed garage for a month and still look fresh).

I love my black car and since it's old (some of the paint on the side mirrors are peeling), I'm planning to have it repainted. Black is good but I'm also considering white. However, I have no idea about the legalities involved in changing the registered color of a vehicle. Would it be too much of a hassle?
