Smart Casa vs. Talyer Cost & Warranty Guide - Apex Engine

Every Filipino car owner hits this fork eventually. You’re standing at the casa service counter, they hand you a quote for ₱14,000, and a voice at the back of your head says: may kilala akong mekaniko na kalahati lang niyan. So which is it — casa o talyer?

Most articles answer this with a shrug: “casa if under warranty, talyer if not.” That’s true, but it’s about 5% of the real answer. It doesn’t tell you why the gap exists, which specific jobs actually save you money outside, which jobs a talyer genuinely should not touch at any price, or what you’re really risking when a dealer says the word “void.”

This is the full breakdown — the one we promised in our complete guide to PMS meaning, schedule and cost and never got around to writing. Read it once and you’ll never have to guess at that counter again.

Key Takeaways

• It’s not two options, it’s three. Casa, independent specialty shop, and roadside talyer are three different tiers. The middle tier — a properly equipped independent — is the right answer far more often than either extreme.
• Under warranty, go to the casa. Full stop. Toyota Motor Philippines states plainly that warranty is valid only if servicing is done at an authorized Toyota dealer, and other brands word it the same way. The savings are not worth the exposure.
• But “void” is a bigger word than dealers make it sound. Under the Consumer Act, a denial needs a rational connection between what you did and what broke. A blanket forfeiture is legally shaky — it’s just an expensive fight you probably don’t want.
• The price gap comes from exactly three places: labor rate, parts markup, and bundled add-ons you didn’t need. On parts-heavy jobs the gap narrows a lot; on labor-heavy jobs it’s huge.
• Some jobs are casa-only regardless of warranty status — recalls, ECU/immobilizer coding, hybrid high-voltage work, ADAS calibration, SRS/airbag.
• What buyers pay a premium for isn’t “casa” — it’s the record. A disciplined talyer paper trail gets you most of the same resale benefit.

What This Guide Covers (Pricing and Rules as of August 2026)

The cost ranges here reflect casa pricing as of August 2026, drawn from the same research behind our per-model PMS guides. Warranty terms cited are the ones publicly stated by the distributors as of this date — and these genuinely move: Toyota extended its standard coverage to up to 5 years for vehicles sold from January 1, 2025 onward, which changed the “when do I switch” math for a lot of owners.

This guide applies to mainstream gasoline and diesel passenger vehicles in the Philippines. Hybrids and EVs follow most of the same logic but with one hard exception around high-voltage systems, flagged in its own section below. Peso figures for talyer work are deliberately given as structural comparisons rather than fixed numbers — see the honesty note in the cost section for why.

First: It’s Not Two Options. It’s Three.

The whole “casa vs. talyer” framing is a false binary, and it’s why so many owners end up making a bad call. There are three tiers, and conflating the last two is where people get burned.

Tier	What it is	Typical strengths	Typical weaknesses
Casa (dealership)	Manufacturer-authorized service center	Factory-trained techs, factory diagnostic tools, genuine parts, warranty on both parts and labor, service records that count	Highest price, longest wait, upsells, zero choice in oil or parts brand
Specialty / independent shop	Registered business, trained techs, real equipment (lifts, scan tools, alignment racks)	Most of the casa’s competence at meaningfully lower cost; you can supply your own parts; often brand- or system-specialized	Fewer of them, may need appointments, quality varies by shop
Talyer (roadside/neighborhood)	Small independent, often informal	Cheapest labor, fastest turnaround, you can watch the work, negotiable	Often no formal training, no parts guarantee, limited tools, safety shortcuts (jack with no jackstand), receipts can be inconsistent

The mistake is treating tier 2 and tier 3 as the same thing because both are “outside the casa.” They’re not remotely the same. A good specialty shop has a scan tool, a hydraulic lift, and a technician who trained on your brand. A roadside talyer might have a floor jack and forty years of feel. Both have their place — but they are not interchangeable, and the job determines which one you want.

The real skill isn’t picking casa or talyer. It’s knowing which of the three tiers each individual job belongs to.

The Warranty Question, Answered Properly

This is the part everyone gets half-right, so let’s do it in full.

What the dealers actually say

Toyota Motor Philippines states it directly: your warranty remains valid as long as you complete the required Periodic Maintenance Services at an authorized Toyota dealer, and vehicle warranty “will only be valid if servicing is done by authorized Toyota dealer.” Their extended coverage — up to 2 additional years or 40,000 km on top of the base 3 years/100,000 km, for vehicles sold from January 1, 2025 — is explicitly conditional on completing a minimum number of PMS visits, with at least one per year, at a Toyota dealer. Other distributors use materially similar language in their warranty booklets.

One detail that saves people real money and almost nobody knows: it does not have to be the same casa. Any authorized dealer of your brand, anywhere in the country, keeps the warranty intact. If the dealer you bought from is slow, expensive, or 40 minutes away in traffic, you are free to take your PMS to a different branch of the same brand. Shop between casas.

What Philippine law actually requires

Here’s where the popular internet advice goes wrong in both directions. There is no Philippine equivalent of the US Magnuson-Moss Act — no statute that explicitly guarantees your right to service a car outside the dealer network without warranty consequence. Anyone telling you “they can’t legally void it, that’s illegal in the Philippines” is importing American law that doesn’t apply here.

But the opposite claim is also too strong. Two things constrain a dealer:

• The Consumer Act (RA 7394) governs warranty disputes generally, and the operative principle is causation. A denial should connect the specific defect to the specific thing you allegedly did wrong. A blanket declaration that all coverage is forfeited — including for an unrelated factory defect — is legally overbroad and, if challenged, would have to survive a fairness review.
• The Lemon Law (RA 10642) lists its exclusions explicitly: non-compliance with warranty obligations, unauthorized modifications, abuse or neglect, and accident or force majeure. Note what that list is — it’s about what you did to the car, not about where you happened to have your oil changed.

So the honest legal picture: a dealer can very reasonably deny a claim on a component your outside service plausibly damaged. Denying an unrelated claim outright is a weaker position than the counter staff will make it sound.

The practical verdict

One clarification worth money: the warranty covers defects. It does not cover wear items and it does not cover things that were never warranty items to begin with. Tires, wheel alignment, aircon cleaning, tint, audio, accessories, dashcams, and cosmetic work are not warranty-relevant. You can have all of those done anywhere you like, at any point in the warranty period, without touching your coverage. Many owners over-comply here and pay casa prices for services that were never in scope.

Where the Price Gap Actually Comes From

The gap is not mysterious and it’s not really about greed. It comes from three specific line items — and knowing which one dominates a given job tells you instantly whether switching saves you real money.

1. Labor rate. The casa is carrying factory-specified tooling, ongoing technician certification, a parts inventory, a building with an air-conditioned lounge, and a warranty on its own workmanship. All of that is loaded into the hourly rate. A talyer charging “a couple hundred pesos” in labor for an oil change is carrying essentially none of it. This is the single biggest driver of the gap.

2. Parts markup. The casa sells genuine parts at dealer pricing. The same genuine parts are frequently available in the aftermarket supply chain — Banawe being the canonical example — for meaningfully less. One PH owner-writer put the gap at “at least 20% cheaper” for the same original parts bought from Banawe dealers rather than the casa; treat that as one person’s directional figure from 2023, not an audited market rate, but the direction is consistent with what most owners report.

3. Bundled add-ons. This is the sneakiest one. Engine flush, fuel-system additive, throttle-body cleaning, aircon disinfectant, “shop supplies,” rags. Individually small, collectively significant, and often recommended rather than required. Our PMS pillar covers how to strip a casa quote back to what the manual actually requires — it’s the fastest money you’ll ever save, and it works without leaving the casa at all.

The insight that follows from this

Because the gap is labor + markup + extras, it scales with how labor-heavy the job is:

• Labor-heavy jobs (suspension overhaul, brake work, aircon service, bushings, general troubleshooting) — the savings outside the casa are large, sometimes dramatic.
• Parts-heavy jobs (a straightforward PMS where most of the bill is genuine oil, filters, and fluids) — the gap narrows considerably, because you’re paying for roughly the same physical goods either way.

That’s why “the talyer is half the price” is sometimes true and sometimes wildly optimistic. It depends entirely on the job.

An honesty note about numbers

We’re not going to invent a peso-for-peso comparison table, because an accurate one doesn’t exist publicly. No Philippine source publishes audited side-by-side casa-vs-talyer pricing — talyer rates vary by shop, by city, by your relationship with the owner, and by whether you brought your own parts. What we can anchor is the casa side, which we’ve researched model by model:

Service	Typical casa range (Aug 2026)
Light / standard PMS, sedan or hatchback	₱3,500–7,000
Heavy / major PMS (40K, 80K), sedan or hatchback	₱10,000–15,000+
Heavy / major PMS, SUV or pickup	₱15,000–29,000+

Average casa prices, August 2026 — always verify with your dealer. Per-model figures live in our individual guides, from the Vios maintenance cost breakdown to the heavier Fortuner servicing schedule. Use those as your casa baseline, then canvass two or three shops for the outside quote. That comparison — your car, your city, this month — beats any number we could print.

The Parts Tiers, Explained

Half of “casa vs. talyer” is really a parts question, because the casa’s biggest genuine advantage is that you know what went in. Outside, you have to specify it. Here’s the ladder you’ll actually encounter in the Philippine market:

Tier	What it means	Sensible use
Genuine	Sold in the manufacturer’s box, through the dealer network	Anything safety-critical, anything sealed, anything you can’t easily inspect later
OE / OES	Made by the same supplier that produced the factory part, in their own box — Denso, Aisin, NGK, Bosch, Exedy	The value sweet spot: factory-equivalent quality, minus the dealer box premium
Aftermarket (reputable brand)	Made by an established third party to its own spec	Filters, wipers, batteries, belts, bushings, brake pads from known brands
”Replacement” (Japan / Taiwan grade)	The trade’s own tiering for cheaper import-grade parts	Non-critical, easily inspected wear items — with eyes open
Surplus	Genuine used parts from stripped or imported units	Body panels, trim, interior bits, some hard-to-source mechanical parts on older cars
Unbranded budget	No box, no brand, no traceability	Avoid — especially for anything with a safety function

Two rules make this simple. First: match the tier to the consequence of failure. A cheap cabin filter fails by smelling bad. A cheap brake component fails by not stopping the car. Spend where failure hurts.

Second: surplus is for parts that can’t degrade invisibly. A surplus door, mirror, headlight housing, or interior trim piece is a genuinely smart buy — it’s a real factory part at a fraction of the cost, and you can see its condition. A surplus suspension or braking component with unknown history is a different proposition entirely.

If you’re supplying your own parts to an outside shop, buy them yourself and hand them over in the box. That’s the whole point of the arrangement: you control the spec, and you pay parts price instead of parts-plus-markup.

Job by Job: Casa, Specialist, or Talyer?

This is the table this whole guide exists for. Assumption: your car is out of warranty. In warranty, the answer is the casa for anything warranty-relevant.

Job	Best tier	Why
Routine oil + filter change	Talyer or specialist	Simple, fast, labor-light. Just insist on the correct oil grade and a genuine or OE filter.
Full light PMS	Specialist	Needs a proper inspection checklist, not just a drain and fill
Heavy PMS (40K / 80K)	Specialist or casa	Multiple fluids and spec-sensitive items; casa worth it if your car is fussy or you want the record
Brake pads and discs	Specialist	Labor-heavy, big savings, but spec matters — use genuine or OE friction material
Suspension: shocks, bushings, links	Specialist talyer	Classic outside win. A dedicated suspension shop is usually far cheaper and better at this than a general casa bay
Wheel alignment and balancing	Specialist	Needs a proper alignment rack, which not every talyer has. Never a warranty item anyway
Tires	Tire shop	Never a casa job. Buy on price and date code
Aircon service and re-gas	Specialist	Another strong outside win — dedicated aircon shops are excellent and much cheaper
Battery replacement	Anywhere	Commodity. But note: some newer cars need battery registration via scan tool — ask first
Timing belt replacement	Casa or top-tier specialist	High consequence of error. On an interference engine, a mistake here destroys the engine
Clutch and transmission overhaul	Specialist (transmission specialist)	Genuinely specialized. A transmission shop often beats a general casa bay on skill and price
CVT fluid service	Casa or brand specialist	Fluid spec is unforgiving and procedures are model-specific. Wrong fluid kills CVTs
DPF cleaning / forced regeneration	Casa	Needs the factory scan tool to command a regen properly
Engine internals / overhaul	Specialist (engine shop)	Machining and rebuild work is its own trade — often not something a casa does in-house either
Electrical fault diagnosis	Casa or well-equipped specialist	You’re paying for the scan tool and the wiring diagrams, not the wrench
Body and paint	Specialist body shop	Check your insurance’s accredited network first — see below
Windshield replacement	Depends on ADAS — see below	If your car has a forward-facing camera, this becomes a calibration job

The Jobs Where the Casa Is Non-Negotiable

Even long out of warranty, these stay at the dealer — or at a genuinely equipped specialist who can prove they have the tooling. This isn’t brand loyalty, it’s capability.

Recalls and service campaigns. These are performed free of charge, at the casa only. There is no version of this where a talyer helps you. Every model guide we publish lists the known PH recalls for that car for exactly this reason — for instance, our Yaris Cross ownership guide covers two live campaigns, and the D-Max maintenance guide documents a dated steering-shaft campaign. Check yours. It’s free money you may be leaving on the table.

ECU reprogramming, immobilizer and key coding. Factory-level tools, and increasingly an online authorization handshake with the manufacturer. A general talyer cannot do this, and an attempt by someone under-equipped can leave you with a car that won’t start.

Hybrid and EV high-voltage systems. This is a safety line, not a cost line. High-voltage battery packs, inverters, and their orange-cabled circuits require specific training and protocols. General maintenance on a hybrid — engine oil, brakes, tires — is ordinary work anyone competent can do. The HV system is not. Our Innova Zenix hybrid guide explains where that line falls in practice, and it applies equally to EVs like the BYD Seagull.

ADAS calibration. If your car has lane-keeping, adaptive cruise, or autonomous emergency braking, it has a forward-facing camera — usually mounted to the windshield. Replace that windshield, or take a front-end knock, and the camera needs recalibration against factory targets or a specified road procedure. Some brands still require dealer-only equipment for this. Ask before you let a cheap glass shop touch a car with ADAS, because an uncalibrated safety system is worse than no safety system: it will still act, just wrongly.

Airbag and SRS work. Pyrotechnic devices and a system you cannot function-test at home. Leave it.

When and How to Switch Without Torching Your Resale

The switch itself is simple. Doing it without losing the value of your service history takes a little discipline.

Time it to your warranty. If you’re on Toyota’s extended terms, that means casa PMS through the qualifying period — and it’s worth checking your own brand’s exact conditions rather than assuming, since the PMS-count requirements differ. Once coverage ends, the constraint is gone.

Then build a paper trail that does the same job the booklet did. This is the part almost everyone skips, and it’s why they lose money at resale:

1. Keep a logbook. Date, odometer, what was done, what parts went in, which shop. A cheap notebook in the glovebox is fine.
2. Demand an official receipt every single time. Not scratch paper. This is your evidence, and it’s also the single best filter for whether a shop is a real business.
3. Keep the parts boxes and receipts for anything major — timing kit, water pump, alternator, suspension. A buyer who sees a genuine Aisin box receipt is looking at proof, not a story.
4. Photograph the odometer at each service. Costs nothing and quietly defends you against a tampering accusation later.
5. Stay with one shop where possible. A suki relationship isn’t just about tawad — it’s about someone who knows your car’s history and will actually tell you what’s coming.

Keep the casa in rotation for the big intervals if you want the best of both. Nothing stops you from doing routine oil changes at your trusted shop and taking the 40K and 80K services to the casa. You get the cheaper cadence plus a periodic dealer-stamped record and a factory-tool inspection. For a lot of owners this hybrid approach is the actual optimum.

How to Vet a Talyer (and the Red Flags)

The difference between a great independent and a disaster is visible before they touch your car. Look for:

• A written quote before work starts, itemized into parts and labor.
• An official receipt. Non-negotiable. No OR, no deal.
• They show you the old parts they removed, unprompted.
• They tell you the brand and grade of oil and parts before you approve — and they’ll use what you supply if you’d rather buy it yourself.
• A warranty on the workmanship, even 30 days. It signals they expect their work to hold.
• Jackstands under a lifted car. Never a jack alone. This tells you how they think about risk generally.
• A scan tool on the premises if you’re bringing anything electronic. If the diagnosis is pure guesswork on a modern car, you’ll pay for the guesses in replaced parts.

Red flags: no receipts; a quote that only appears after the car is apart; pressure to decide immediately; vagueness about parts brands; “tinanggal ko na, sira na” without producing the old part; and the biggest one — a price so far below everyone else’s that something has to be giving. Usually it’s the parts grade.

The Resale Math: What “Casa-Maintained” Is Actually Worth

“Full casa records” is a genuine premium in the Philippine second-hand market, and sellers advertise it because it works. But it’s worth understanding why, because the reason points to a cheaper way to get the same benefit.

A buyer isn’t paying for the dealership. They’re paying for the removal of uncertainty. Complete records tell them when the timing belt was actually changed, whether services happened on schedule, what’s already been replaced, and — critically — that the odometer reading is corroborated by a paper trail. Missing records raise exactly the opposite question, and mileage tampering is a real enough concern in the local market that a gap in the booklet gets priced in as risk.

Which means: a rigorous talyer paper trail captures most of the same value. Not quite all — a dealer stamp carries institutional weight a handwritten logbook doesn’t — but a seller who produces a complete folder of dated ORs, parts receipts, and odometer photos is in a fundamentally different position from one who says “maintained naman po, promise.” Sloppy records are what costs you money, not the absence of a dealer logo.

You’ll see figures thrown around for exactly how much a full service history adds. Most of them come from overseas markets and don’t transfer cleanly to PH pricing, so treat any specific percentage with suspicion. The qualitative effect is real and well-attested locally; the precise number isn’t something anyone here has actually measured.

The Insurance Angle Nobody Mentions

One last dimension that belongs in this decision and almost never makes it in.

Many comprehensive motor policies in the Philippines restrict indemnity to repairs done at accredited repair shops, and several insurers sell “casa repair” as a priced add-on — a higher premium in exchange for having your car repaired at the dealership after a collision. Accredited networks vary enormously in size between insurers.

The practical implication: your PMS decision and your collision-repair decision are separate. You can happily run your maintenance at a trusted independent for years while still carrying a policy that puts your car in the casa after an accident. If having the dealer handle body repair matters to you — and on a newer car with ADAS sensors in the bumpers, there’s a real argument that it should — that’s a choice you make when you buy the policy, not at the moment of the crash. Check your policy’s terms before you need them.

The Bottom Line

Strip away the tribalism and the answer is genuinely simple:

While under warranty: casa, at whichever branch of your brand is most convenient. Decline the optional add-ons, keep the booklet stamped, and don’t get creative.

Once out of warranty: move your routine work to a good specialist shop — not necessarily the cheapest roadside talyer — supply your own genuine or OE parts where you can, and keep receipts obsessively. Send the big intervals to the casa occasionally if you value the record. And keep sending recalls, ECU work, hybrid HV systems, ADAS calibration, and airbag work to the dealer forever, because that’s about capability, not loyalty.

The owners who get burned are rarely the ones who chose wrong between casa and talyer. They’re the ones who treated it as a single lifetime decision instead of a per-job one — or who saved ₱3,000 on a PMS and lost ₱30,000 at resale because they never asked for a receipt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mas mura ba talaga sa talyer kaysa casa?

Sa karamihan ng jobs, oo — pero hindi kasing laki ng iniisip ng marami. Ang gap ay galing sa tatlong bagay lang: labor rate, parts markup, at yung mga add-on na sinusukbit ng casa. Kapag labor-heavy ang trabaho (suspension, brakes, aircon), malaki talaga ang tipid sa talyer. Pero kapag parts-heavy — halimbawa PMS na puro genuine oil at filters — lumiliit ang agwat, kasi pareho lang halos ang presyo ng parts. Walang PH source na naglalabas ng audited side-by-side numbers, kaya mag-canvass ka pa rin ng dalawa or tatlong quote.

Mawawala ba ang warranty ko kapag nag-PMS ako sa talyer?

Realistically, oo — huwag mong gawin habang under warranty. Sinasabi mismo ng Toyota Motor Philippines na valid lang ang warranty kung sa authorized Toyota dealer ginawa ang servicing, at ganito rin ang wording ng ibang brands. Ang mahalagang detalye: hindi kailangan sa *parehong* casa — kahit saang authorized dealer sa buong bansa, okay. Kaya walang dahilan para mag-talyer habang naka-warranty.

Legal ba na i-void ng casa ang buong warranty ko dahil lang nag-talyer ako?

Iba ang nakasulat sa kontrata sa kung ano ang matibay legally. Under the Consumer Act (RA 7394), ang warranty denial ay dapat may **rational connection** sa depekto — ibig sabihin, kailangan nilang ipakita na ang ginawa sa labas ang may kasalanan sa sirang parte. Ang blanket na 'void lahat' kahit walang kinalaman ang outside service sa depekto ay considered overbroad. Pero praktikal na payo: ayaw mong maging test case. Ang laban na 'yan ay dokumento, panahon, at DTI complaint — mas mahal pa kaysa sa natipid mo.

Kailan ako dapat lumipat sa talyer?

Ang malinis na hati: pagkatapos ng warranty. Kung Toyota ka at nakuha mo ang 5-year extension, ibig sabihin PMS muna sa casa hanggang matapos 'yun. Pagkalipas, saka ka maghanap ng suki. Isang exception: kahit under warranty, pwede ka sa specialist para sa mga bagay na *hindi* sakop ng warranty — tires, alignment, aircon cleaning, audio, tint. Hindi warranty items 'yan.

Genuine parts ba lagi ang dapat, o okay lang ang aftermarket?

Depende sa parte, hindi sa prinsipyo. Para sa safety-critical at sealed systems — brakes, timing components, airbag, sensors, at anumang may kinalaman sa engine internals — genuine o OE-supplier brand (Denso, Aisin, NGK, Bosch) ang tamang gastos. Para sa wear items na madaling i-inspect — wipers, batteries, filters, suspension bushings, belts — legit ang mga reputable aftermarket brands. Ang iwasan: pinaka-murang unbranded na walang box, at surplus para sa anumang bagay na may safety function.

Ano ang dapat kong hanapin sa isang magandang talyer?

Lima: (1) nagbibigay ng **written quote** bago magsimula, (2) may **official receipt** — hindi lang scratch paper, (3) pinapakita sa'yo ang **lumang parts** na tinanggal, (4) sinasabi kung anong **brand at grade** ng oil at parts ang gagamitin bago mo aprubahan, at (5) may **warranty sa trabaho** kahit 30 days man lang. Kapag ayaw magbigay ng resibo o quote, umalis ka na — hindi 'yun tipid, panganib 'yun.

Totoo bang mas mataas ang resale ng casa-maintained na sasakyan?

Oo, pero mag-ingat sa dahilan. Hindi ang casa mismo ang binabayaran ng buyer — ang **record** ang binabayaran. Ang stamped booklet at kumpletong resibo ay nagtatanggal ng hula sa buyer: alam niya kung kailan pinalitan ang timing belt, kung na-service on time, at kung hindi galaw ang odometer. Sa PH market, ang 'complete casa records' ay isang tunay na selling point at nakakadagdag talaga sa presyo. Ang mabuting balita: pwede mong gayahin ang epekto sa talyer — basta may resibo at logbook ka sa bawat service.

May mga trabaho bang hindi talaga kayang gawin ng talyer?

Meron, at ito ang seryosong listahan: (1) **recalls at service campaigns** — libre 'to pero sa casa lang; (2) **ECU reprogramming at immobilizer/key coding** — kailangan ng factory-level tools at minsan online authorization; (3) **hybrid at EV high-voltage systems** — may sariling training at safety protocol; (4) **ADAS calibration** pagkatapos ng windshield replacement o harap na banggaan; (5) **airbag at SRS** work. Kahit tapos na ang warranty mo, dito ka pa rin sa casa o sa isang totoong equipped specialist.

Paano kung sinabi ng casa na 'kailangan na' ang isang bagay na wala sa manual?

Ito ang pinakakaraniwang paraan kung paano lumalaki ang bill. Engine flush, fuel-system additive, aircon disinfectant, throttle-body cleaning — madalas 'recommended' ang mga 'to, hindi *required*. Buksan mo ang owner's manual sa interval mo, tingnan kung ano talaga ang nakalista, at magalang na sabihin: 'Yung nasa manual lang po muna.' Wala kang mawawalang warranty sa pagtanggi sa optional add-on — basta ang scheduled items nagawa.

Ano ang epekto ng insurance sa desisyon na 'to?

Malaki, at madalas nakakaligtaan. Maraming comprehensive policies ay may **accredited repair shop network**, at may mga plano na 'casa repair' ang binabayaran mong add-on — mas mataas ang premium pero sa casa ka ipapa-ayos kapag na-aksidente. Kung mahalaga sa'yo na casa ang mag-ayos pagkatapos ng banggaan, tingnan mo kung casa-accredited ang policy mo bago pa mangyari ang aksidente. Iba ito sa PMS decision — pwedeng talyer ang PMS mo pero casa pa rin ang collision repair.
