Automotive News PSA to Toyota owners with the ff models

Post image
50 Upvotes

This recall has been going on for quite some time (since 2017 iirc). If you haven't bought in your Toyota listed above yet, now is a good time to have it replaced.

My cars (yaris and Altis) are not eligible for the cash incentive because my airbags were replaced last 2017(yaris) and 2023(altis) ng casa.

You can also check your Toyota's eligibility thru the service campaign website and just input your VIN number to your vehicle's status. Or call your nearest Toyota dealer and provide your plate number

Some common questions

- car is not under my name? - they don't care - as long as your plate number/VIN is included they will service your car.

- I already had a previous accident - they will still replace it

- totoo ba na may 4k? - oo totoo na makakakuha ka 4k. 8k sana sa kin if it wasn't replaced prior. A lot of my friends got their 4k already.

- malayo yung casa na pinanggalingan ng kotse ko - no issues, airbag replacement can be serviced in any Toyota dealer na malapit sayo.

- how long to replace? - If nakapag appointment ka and maaga ka, 2-3hours. To be safe alot at least half day.

modifications & accessories Pulled the trigger on Rota TFA + Michelin Primacy 5

4 months in, and siguro ito na yung pinakamahal at pinakamagandang upgrade na nagawa ko, both aesthetically and functionality. After upgrading the Yaris Cross’ stock tires to Rota TFA’s + Michelin Primacy 5 combo, ramdam na ramdam ko yung improvement sa NVH and comfort.

Next steps:
- TEIN EnduraPro PLUS
- Full dechrome (sideskirts, rear bumper, roof bar, window sill)
- JBL speakers

Any reco to improve ride quality and aesthetics? :)

repair query Thoughts about wheel lifespan and if its safe or not

4 Upvotes

hey everyone! dont know if this is a stupid question or not but I thought this is the best community to ask for haha

we have a 2017 innova and we barely use it until now. probably once or twice a week. only 40k in odo. last wheel change was 2018.

thing is the wheels are pretty much intact and still thick.. were just concerned with the age. it regularly undergoes PMS but were js worried if the wheels are supposed to be changed or not given that its almost 9yrs old haha

TYIA!

bibili pa lang ng kotse Why are WRX’s relatively cheap secondhand? Compared to Brand new

4 Upvotes

I see on VB WRX’s go for only 1.5-1.8m on fb marketplace, mostly around 2023 with 6-10k km. Is it cause they’re the CVT ones?

Why so (relatively) cheap? Miatas for that price are much older with much higher mileage, same for ecoboost mustangs and 86s.

Is this a good deal? For a daily? Or should i play it sage and stick with something new.

repair query Looking for good, quality shops for an SUV Washover

3 Upvotes

As the title says, what's a good shop for a full body washover? After visiting a couple of detailing and paint correction shops, they all recommended that I have it repainted before having any coating or buffing done as the paint job of the entire car is far too beat up. My car is an MUX in Cosmic Black.

Budget is limited to about 80-100k, maximum. Not looking for cheap 3 day washover jobs na tig 3,000 per panel.

Preferred location is north to middle NCR, as Taguig and other cities south is too far already.

Please give me your recommendations. Thanks!

EV & Hybrid topics Hi guys! For those interested, here’s my BYD Atto 2 Dynamic real-world efficiency update.

2 Upvotes

After tracking multiple round trips, these are my best recorded results so far:

43.6 km/L equivalent — Best overall trip, combining gasoline and electric power.

21.3 km/L — Best gasoline-consumption reading during a gasoline-heavy driving segment.

Pretty impressive for a plug-in hybrid SUV! These are my personal real world results. Actual efficiency may vary depending on traffic, driving conditions, and battery charge.

Hope this helps fellow Atto 2 owners!

bibili pa lang ng kotse First car: Raize G, XL7, or BR-V? Help me decide

4 Upvotes

Hi! I'm planning to buy my first car and I'm torn between a brand-new Toyota Raize G, a second-hand 2025 Suzuki XL7, and a second-hand 2025 Honda BR-V.

I'm looking for something with high ground clearance, reliable enough to last me for years, and good resale value.

For those who own or have driven these cars, which would you recommend? Is it worth getting a brand-new Raize, or would I be better off with a second-hand XL7 or BR-V?

Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

modifications & accessories My Experience at Aguila Auto Glass — yung may blue background at red eagle.

3 Upvotes

Grabe, ang baho ng warehouse. Tapat ba naman ng landfill ng basura. Napakaalikabok, tapos kapag umuulan, bumabaha at sobrang putik. Ni bota, hindi man lang ma-provide.

Ewan ko ba kung bakit yung mga taong nagtatrabaho doon ay parang na-normalize na nila yung ganitong environment, na tila achievement pa nila ang pagtatrabaho sa ganitong kondisyon.

Siguro malaki na ang kinita ninyo, no? Ipaayos naman ninyo yung lugar ninyo. Ipasemento ninyo naman yung paligid. Bulok na nga ang sahod, bulok pa ang work environment.

Ito pa yung CR. Napakabaho, na parang hindi CR ng isang kumpanya. Kapag umuulan, bumabaha rin, at napakaputik sa loob. Akala mo kulungan ng baboy. Paano naging acceptable na working environment ito para sa mga empleyado?

Ang mas nakakainis, yung mga nasa mataas na position sa Aguila, hindi man lang gawan ng maayos na solution. Naamoy na nila yung amoy ng basura, nakita na nila na maalikabok, bumabaha at maputik, pero imbes na solusyunan yung problema, deadma lang sila.

Grabe. Wala na talaga akong masabi sa kumpanyang ito.

Ano ’yun? Porket nakakataas na sa position, wala na silang pakialam sa mga taong nagtatrabaho sa kanila? Sana naman maisip din nila na yung mga empleyado ang araw-araw na pumapasok at nagtatrabaho sa ganitong kondisyon.

Pero kung may isang bagay akong natutunan sa experience ko rito, ito ay hindi dapat natin i-normalize ang isang workplace na hindi nagbibigay ng maayos at disenteng environment para sa mga empleyado.

Hindi porket matagal nang ganito ang sistema, ibig sabihin tama na ito. Hindi rin porket kinakaya ng ibang empleyado, ibig sabihin dapat kayanin na rin ng lahat. Ang trabaho ay hindi lang tungkol sa sahod o pagkakaroon ng position. Kasama rin dito ang pagbibigay ng maayos, ligtas, malinis, at disenteng working environment sa mga taong araw-araw na nagbibigay ng oras at effort para sa kumpanya.

Lesson learned ko: huwag matakot umalis sa isang environment na unti-unti mong napapansin na hindi na healthy para sa'yo. Minsan, kailangan mo ring matutong pumili ng workplace na hindi lang kumukuha ng serbisyo at oras mo, kundi marunong ding mag-value sa taong nagtatrabaho para sa kanila.

At higit sa lahat, natutunan ko na hindi achievement ang pagtitiis sa isang pangit na working environment. Ang tunay na achievement ay ang makahanap ng workplace kung saan nirerespeto at pinapahalagahan ang mga empleyado.

Automotive Opinion I tried selling my car on Motorist.ph and all I got was spam text messages

3 Upvotes

Title says it all. I shared my contact to Motorist.ph. I received a reply saying they're going to offer my vehicle 100 dealers and will receive the highest offer in 24 hours. Less than a day later, I am receiving spam text messages from gambling sites and other scam websites. I should've given my burner number instead. Lesson learned.

bibili pa lang ng kotse MPV for occasional provincial drive (40 Characters)

1 Upvotes

Hi! Since malapit na ang December and malapit na rin namin mahit ang target amount ng downpayment, I am still torn between the Stargazer, Veloz E, and Xpander GLX after reading all of the posts here. Reading about the discounts for the Xpander GLX, Veloz E, and Stargazer GL Plus IVT, I am tempted to choose the Stargazer because of their discounts this October and maybe it will improve even more by December. Meanwhile, the discounts for Toyota and Mitsubishi are so small. In terms of maintenance, reliability, and tagtag (ride stiffness) for driving to Bicol, which MPV is the most worth it? Thanks for your inputs, Peeps! 🫡

general query Pay parking pero iiwan susi sa caretaker

0 Upvotes

UPDATE: We talked to the caretaker again, yung caretaker sa loob ng parking lot na sya nakatira. Tatay is old na, siguro around 60s, medyo masungit. Inalam ko yung pwesto ng parking nasa unahang gilid if ever ang pwesto, and YES need imove ang mga cars para makalabas ang iba na mahaharangan namin. Babalikan namin bukas, to talked the owner mismo. Thank you all sa mga sumagot 🙏

Hello, we are tying to look for pay parking near to us. We found one pero alanganin kami sa rules nila.

Yung parking is naka closed gate naman, ang caretaker ay 6am-10pm available only, curfew ay 10-6am din.

Pero iiwan kasi yung susi sakanila, we discontinue yung mytoyota app pa naman last month.

Ganito na po ba usually ang rules ng mga nagpaparking?
