Nowhere is a one-stop shop more significant for me than when it's a car shop. I drive a 14-year-old…read moresports sedan that I totally, absolutely love, but I have to admit, maintaining an old car can be a pain. Going to one shop for exterior and interior detailing, another for mechanical repairs, and yet another for engine concerns, and so on -- I just don't have the time, the patience, or the funds for it -- really, having several people work on your car will run you dry. But I digress. As I was saying, a one-stop-shop for cars is in order. A good one. When I found out that Ziebart now does more than just keep a "tidy car" for you, I got excited. No, really! They do everything now, from dent removal and paint jobs, to tune ups and mechanical parts replacement. That's basically everything you need to keep your car in shape, and they do everything in one very accessible place! (Of course they have several branches across the country, but the main one, in Pasong Tamo, happens to be the most convenient for me.) As early as 7 am, you will see the red shirts hanging out outside the establishment, waiting to assist people who pull up in their cars. Each one is polite, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. My go-to guy is Sir Mike. He listens to your concerns and assesses the entire car to make sure they cover what you may need when they give you a diagnosis and a cost estimate. He explains everything thoroughly, so you can decide whether you want to do everything all at once, or if you can afford to stagger the repairs so that your car doesn't sit there for too long at a time. Their rates are quite competitive, and you know that your car is safe even if you have to leave it there for days at a time. Needless to say my car and I have been back a couple of times, and each time we drive away satisfied. Oh, and did I mention they offer instalment payments for big purchases made through your credit card? :-)

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!

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).

How hard can it be to use a pressure hose to clean the outside of a car, and a vacuum the inside? Actually, there are many differences between car wash joints. Along Saudi Arabia in Better Living Subdivision where I live, there are four or five, including one right in front of the house I'm renting. Since I do need to have my trusty Suzuki APV washed and cleaned every once in a while, I've tried almost all the car wash shops. SLIK Automotiv is the one I like best. The boys there seem to go the extra mile to make sure that when they're done, the car owners leave with a smile. They may be fast, but they're also efficient. I visited the place a couple of days ago, and as usual there was were no shortage of customers there. By comparison, the other car wash shops were only servicing one or two cars. I haven't had any auto detailing done yet, just regular washes. I may give their detailing service a try sometime soon. For being just a little bit more professional than their competition, I give SLIK four stars.

Yes, this is the best parking lot in the city and these are my reasons why:…read more1. It's covered. No need to put that pesky windshield thing that keeps on falling anyway. 2. It has 5 levels. More than enough spaces to cater to everyone scrambling for a space in BGC. 3. You ca party all night and still see your car in the same space. Yes folks, they are open until the wee hours of the morning. 4. They have service elevators that will not suffocate you. 5. Parking fee is not as expensive as Makati. 6. There's a car wash service waiting for your beck and call. 7. It's not that hot inside. Also, you won't die if you wait in your car. 8. There's an automated machine that gives you a parking card when you enter. 9. High Street is just a few steps away, perfect for families with kids. 10. I always feel safe here. I've been parking here for 3 years. The end.

This is one of the parking lots near to a lot of things. It's near the new high street area which…read moreis called Central Square so you can easily walk towards your movie showing. It's near high street so yes, it won't be a hassle at all. It's quite easy to park your car because the space they allot for each car is pretty big! So don't worry about it. What's a bit tricky is that workers who work the 8-5 job can't really Park here anymore for the whole day. If I'm not mistaken you will be charged around 300 for a whole day. So if i were you, you should definitely find a better and cheap place if you need to park more than 3 hours. You can opt to park if it's just for a short time. And what's nice about here is that it's covered so you don't need to go through muddy floors when getting to your car.

We had the option to eat at Charlie's but, we decided to stay in their waiting area. There was a TV and also self-service coffee. After about 30 minutes, the car was done! Every little detail of the car was CLEAN! They even vacuumed the inside of the car. The seats were very clean and the whole car was just amazingly done. I highly recommend everyone to try their service at least once. I promise you will come back again and again. Seriously. The service just costs about Php180 (that's with the tip already)!

No other car wash in Kapitolyo has done such an error of not returning all the items back into my car, ever. Only here at 212 Car wash beware. I will keep my recommendation NOT to have your car wash here until they resolve my problem.

Or not, depending on how often you venture into this side if Makati. Either way, Tower of David - longstanding purveyors of car aircon and electrical repairs - is unmistakeable in its perch of over 20 years. The aforementioned yellow gate is adorned with a satisfaction guarantee that looks so believable, I wished my aircon would fall apart the first time I saw it just so i could feel that level of satisfaction. So the moment a light bulb blew its tiny, blessed heart out burning for my brightness needs at night, there was no other place in my mind to turn to (quite literally, I might add) that the Tower of David. Which, by the way, is a pretty epic name for what basically was a damp, rusty driveway. Despite the disheartening visual register and unfortunately degrading environment, however, the fantastically-accessorized (you'll see what I mean), knowledgeable crew at Tower of David did a thorough, cheap, and quick job replacing the broken bulb and even offering wisdom as to the next steps to take and what to expect following the operation. Haven't had the opportunity to test out their mettle in the aircon arena, but based on my experience with that bulb and a subsequent visit (not to mention that really quite attractive written guarantee), Tower of David may prove a safe, affordable, and reliable choice for aircon and electrical repairs in the Makati area.

So the day before Labor Day, when I was on my way to Makati with my Dad (we were in his car), we…read morewere surprised to see the battery charge warning light flicker. This was our car's way of telling us that the average lifespan of a car's alternator is about 6 years. Yes, it's been that long since we had that changed or checked, so kudos to that part's durability. Before I go any further, understand that the alternator is what takes care of all your car's electric-powered functions like lights, horn, turn signals, airconditioning, and radio. When you turn the key or press the start button on your car, that's when the battery works, then after the engine is on, the alternator takes over. I won't go into detail as to how all this really works, but the important thing to remember is that the alternator is the thingamabob that takes over the job of powering your car's electrical stuff, and keeps your battery from draining itself, something our particular car's alternator stopped doing. To think the other day, we changed the battery itself, since the car wouldn't start, so apparently, the alternator was indeed the problem all along. We hopped on over to Motolite on Pasong Tamo, and they did determine that the alternator was the problem. They were nice enough to point us to a good auto repair shop nearby, called "Tower of David" With a quick jumpstart to our battery, we drove on over to Tower of David, and were told to look for "Ariel". "Ariel" was their resident expert on all things electrical. He was a jolly, unassuming fellow who I must say was quite the professional. And, thank goodness, he had a shirt on and he wasn't your typical "grease monkey" who was covered in, uh, grease and reeked of gasoline and gin. Ariel was polite, soft-spoken and jolly the entire time. A quick check with his electrical battery-output-checking thingamagig confirmed that the alternator wasn't working and needed replacing. Ariel politely suggested we replace it, and it would cost a hefty P22,000. The amount was difficult to believe, for such a small part, but he noted that it was original, brand new, and made in Japan (thank goodness). "Pero sir, pwede din naman 'yung "replacement", was his quip. I can't quite tell you what he meant by that, maybe "refurbished" is what he meant, but Ariel assured us that it was just as good, didn't use ball bearings, came with a 6-month warranty, and only cost P13,500. P8500 less, presumably more hi-tech, with labor costs included, and comes with a warranty? Eh di wow! So what did we do? DUH naturally we took that option, and we were glad Ariel brought it up. We gave Ariel the go-ahead and he told us we could just leave our number with their Secretary to tell us when it's ok to pick up the car. I went into their cramped little office and put Dad's cellphone number in a logbook... at first I thought their Secretary was the skinny Siamese cat that was sleeping on their counter, but alas, their Secretary was this friendly lady instead. And the funny thing about that cat was, it was named "Pangit", which I found unfair kasi hindi naman pangit yung pusa. Dang, that would've been cool, "Tower of David" for a business name, with a feline Secretary that took down customer's names. We came back after about four hours to get the car, and it works fine. I give this little Auto Supply & repair shop flying colors as of now, for as long as the new alternator they supplied and installed works. Three days on, and the car purrs like "Pangit", and handles like it was brand-new. Head on to "Tower of David" if you need your car fixed.
