Rean here…
I recently had the shocks of Chevy optra replaced. I had to go a couple of towns from where I live as my experience with my last repair was not pleasant. Two weeks after I did my canvassing, I set out and had my shocks done. I brought my car to the garage and walk a block to purchase my struts. I later had my mechanic pick up the parts and installed these in my car. I’d say my experience was a lot better with the exception of some time management issues on the part of the garage crew.
In view of all this, I just miss the convenience aspect of life stateside. Instead of driving around looking for a good garage, I would just click on a website and get my estimate. There are however things in my favor now as Filipino mechanics are noted for their excellent improvisation skills. This has made a lot of car owners like me save a lot more money than if we had our cars done in the US.
