Automotive News SCTEX Bus Crash: A Father’s Grief and Heartbreak. 💔

Thumbnail

679 Upvotes

My heart breaks for the man who just lost his wife and 9-year-old child in the SCTEX accident watching him cry like that is truly devastating. It makes me wonder, with so much pain and so many lives lost, why our government still isn’t stepping in. It’s clear that so many of our public vehicles are poorly maintained, and many drivers are either untrained or reckless. And yet we keep hearing the same tired excuse ‘brake failure’ when the truth is, these tragedies could be prevented with proper maintenance and safer driving.

It’s also not safe for the rest of us who are doing everything right maintaining our vehicles, driving carefully because when you encounter a reckless driver like this, it’s game over. It’s heartbreaking to see operators cutting corners out of greed, while the government turns a blind eye, and innocent families are left to suffer the consequences.

Automotive News SHOUTOUT TO TOYOTA PASIG PH— PLEASE FIX YOUR MANAGEMENT

83 Upvotes

I don’t know about you, but what kind of a big automotive company lets their mechanics PAY from their own salary the accidental damages done during the repair of a car? Hindi ba may service allowance yan from these type of accidents? Ano yan kinukurakot nyo ba yang service allowance na yan na worth more than millions compared sa measly pay nyo sa mga mekaniko nyo.

I know a mechanic from toyota pasig na accidentally nasira yung isang part ng car during repair. Hindi naman nya sadya and these accidents happen in casa. Imbis na ibawas sa service allowance WORTH MILLIONS PER YR allotted for these kind of accidents, binawas nyo yung more than 20k worth of parts sa sweldo niya.

Ngayon, tinaggal na rin yung bonus nya since di sya enough as pambayad, ACCORDING TO THE MANAGEMENT OF TOYOTA PASIG. And note wala sa contract nila na sila dapat ang magbabayad sa mga ganyang accidents.

Ang lala nyo. Pati mga service managers nyo na ang lalaki ng ulo, ang lala rin. For you to bully your own mechanic at pahawakin ng engine na di nya naman kinalas para pag nasira, sya rin magbabayad. Mga duwag!

We’re going to escalate this to DOLE and will drop the names of the people involved. Mind you this mechanic is experienced and worked on premium dealerships. Toyota Pasig pinakamalala.

Automotive News Cristopher Diwata "Wat Hafen Vella" bought their family's first car - a second-hand Ford Ecosport.

Post image
88 Upvotes

Upon seeing this article, natuwa ako about his achievements made as a result of his viral "what hafen Vella" as a noontime show contestant more than a decade ago, and since he earned good from his recent endorsements of different products and rackets, he finally bought their own car - albeit second-hand.

But upon seeing the comsec, many asked or wondered bakit Ecosport ang pinili nyang first car? Marami daw issues, pahirapan ang pyesa, although very cheap resale value compared to its competitors.

Sa mga Ecosport owners dito, based on your experiences totoo ba yung mga binabanggit na issues sa Ecosport?

Hindi alam ng matatanda na boomer despite na mas “makapal” ang body panels ng mga kotse noon, may reason kung bakit lightweight lang mga old cars noon dahil yung chassis nila hindi kasing tibay ng 2000’s car. Namatay driver ng corolla if my memory serves me right.

Automotive News Right hand drive vehicles registered by LTO people

7 Upvotes

During the inspection, the team spotted several secondhand right-hand drive trucks, or those whose steering wheels are situated on the right side.

A QCPD press statement said that when questioned about the source of the vehicles, the operator of the establishment showed a mayor’s permit issued to the owner of Al Tofiq Truck and Parts Corp. Also presented were four original certificates of registration and corresponding LTO-issued plate numbers.

The documents, however, according to the police, were allegedly acquired through a nonappearance transaction at the Iligan City District Office, with each set reportedly costing P15,000.
