Maintaining Your Car in the Philippines

Best Easy to Maintain cars to buy in the Philippines.

From the article

"A well-looked after car tends to be more cost-efficient in terms of maintenance."

Should you have it serviced by the dealership? "There are some drawbacks to this, however, chief of which is the dealership’s tendency to prevent owners from actually witnessing the maintenance work being done to their cars; there have been horror stories of unscrupulous mechanics surreptitiously taking random working parts from cars and replacing them with faulty ones, or of letting the car be touched by interns instead of trained mechanics.

Outside shops are an increasingly popular option for car owners who are looking to save some dough without compromising car maintenance, although you would need to exercise due diligence and scout around for such shops that have positive feedback from satisfied customers. Otherwise, you might actually end up paying more when worse problems arise."

"Toyota certainly enjoys a certain status in the Philippine market; older drivers especially harbor fond memories of Toyota vehicles that are robust and run trouble-free, cementing its reputation for reliability. Just one look at Toyota’s sales numbers (45.26% market share as of November 2018) and you’ll know it’s true."

"While Honda maintenance isn’t exactly known for being cheap, it’s somewhat offset by the fact that they have longer maintenance intervals than other brands "

I pay a lot of attention to  Scotty Kilmer of Youtube fame. 

Scotty advises to stay away from all but Toyotas and Hondas. Those made in Japan are best. He says, from his experience, Toyotas and Hondas which are made in Japan need only oil changes and air filters for the first 100,000 miles. And if maintained according to the owner's manual schedule it is not uncommon for them to last for a LONG time, even up to 500,000 miles or more!

Use a OBD 2, car computer reader to check its condition before buying any used car or nearly new car. It must be specific to the car you are thinking about buying. Call the manufacturer of the car code reader to be sure the car is included in the list of cars the reader is set up to diagnose.

My favorite cars to own are Toyota and Honda. The reason there are so many of these in the Philippines and all over the earth is summed up in one word "QUALITY."
