I've been bringing my car to a nearby car station eversince I started driving. Everytime mag ttry kasi ako sa casa, hindi ako believe sa sinasabi nila. So far, I've tried Nissan, Toyota and Chev. Well, Chev naman ayaw ko ng customer service nila so siguro biased din ako when I brought my bulinggit to their casa.
For me INERTIA, mas kilala mo car mo. Napansin ko sa casa, palit ng palit. Bili ng bili ng parts kahit hindi pa kailangan palitan (hence the term "Preventive"). Kung ikaw yung tipo ng travel ng travel, kung tingin mo super gamit an talga yung car, then go to a casa. Pero if you know the basic maintenance of a car or you know someone na magaling sa car na you trust, maybe you can try sa magaling na talyer
A piece of advice, first time mong mag papacheck sa talyer, ikaw dapat ang magbantay, at literal, bantay eto ha

A story lang about my experiences sa ganito: I had my 1st car when I was 18 and my bros & most of my guy friends race & are addicted to their cars so wala akong problem. F may car problem, I call them. If hindi sila pwede or kailangan ng mga gamit na wala sila, either of my bros bring my car to a talyer. Pero shempre, my bros would leave my car there & go to the mall. Babalikan na lang nila before the shop closes. 1 night after having my thesis printed in a coffeeshop, I was smoking a cig when a woman approached me & told me na amoy gas yung car ko. So I panicked & I carefully put off my cig. It was late at night na so I slowly drove home. Napansin ko yung gas ko na full tank when I left home, almost empty na eh yung coffeeshop 15 minutes away lang. Yun pala when my bro had it "serviced" earlier that day, the mechanic accidentally cut the gas hose (or whatever its called). So ang ginawa nya, pinalitan nya ng GARDEN HOSE! Ok fine, I did my research after that & I found out na ok shang TEMPORARY solution. Pero he did it without informing us so at fault pa rin sha. Imagine, if walang dumaan at walang nag inform sakin na amoy gas, siguro wala na ako dito ngayon

After that, I am careful where I bring my car and I literally, follow the mechanic around while he's working in my car

Nung una, I can see in their faces na naiirita sila. Add mo pa na tanong ako ng tanong, hehe. Pero eventually, I think I grew on them & whenever I would go there first name basis na kami (ok fine, ako first name tawag ko sa kanila but they still call me ma'am ___
