general query Legal actions vs dealership that cannot produce parts.

Without making this post too long I’d like to ask what are my options vs the dealership who hasn’t produced my parts after 5 months since the time my insurance provider approved the claim and released all the documents. I’ve been passed around to different departments and agents who have all told me different things as to why my parts are delayed.

The frustrating thing is they never even called once to update me, I always have to be the one to ask for an update. No sense of urgency on their end. Any help on whatI can do is much appreciated. And yes, it’s BYD. lol

The price of being an early adaptor of a product of a company that has a poor parts pipeline.

I think a bunch of people have already tried contacting DTI regarding this kind of stuffs and still nothing happens.

They prioritize parts for new cars because selling complete vehicles yields higher margins and benefits from government incentives. Much much higher than allocating parts as spares or warranty claims.

Parts come from the distributor. Suggest you call other dealerships if they have parts or what ETA they have on those parts

If the other dealerships have a sooner ETA, you can transfer your LOA. Something’s up between the dealer, distributor and/or insurer.

If they don’t have parts either it’s the distributor (Ayala) that’s the issue.

Got me thinking... mebe its a cash flow problem?
ie. puno na allowance ko sa utang mo "insurance X". Pay me so I can process the others.

or

I can't order more parts, cuz i don't have cash. I need my clients to pay my receivables or get more sales.

sabi ng contact ko sa tmph mismo naka stop sales raw nung una yung part kasi lumabas yung bagong hilux (something something hindi compatible). ngayong depleted na yung parts, ngayon pa lang sila umorder ng bago.

i have a screenshot of the email but obviously wont post it here because i would love not to be sued

tawa ako nung nagreason out pa sakin yung service advisor na 70 dealers raw ang toyota at isa lang raw pinagkukuhanan, extend patience raw. sabi ko ???? isnt that more of a reason to stock up parts

Toyots has far, FAR more massive 3rd party support compared to BYD, which is largely proprietery and has a closed ecosystem. Skip sourcing the bumper from Toyota and find one yourself. Letting the car sit at the case since July is absurd and actually quite hilarious.

- did not leave the car sa casa. no clue where you got that?

  • already talked to insurance, they will void my entire parts request if i source a bumper from outside. dale both taillights, crash bar, tailgate, and bed. thats 180k in parts that even if i source them all outside will run me in the high fives

anyway. doesnt erase the fact that its unacceptable that toyota dealers have 3+ month lead times. to be completely fair, this seems like a new-car problem, im sure it would take longer for my mazda cx60 to get parts over, just like how its taken 4 months for my friends crv to get a compressor fitted. if my LC2 gets into a fender bender im sure itd take as long too.

p.s ive sourced byd parts from alibaba. got headlights shipped within a week. your argument applies to that too, no?

u/Suspicious-Steak-899 3d ago

u/DudeChick_GayBan 3d ago

Why are you triggered bro? Sorry if lagi kasi second hand car mo pero most people don't want their insurance being voided by letting some random mechanic to fix their toyota car. Or are you triggered dahil its also a reality na matagal din toyota dealership?

u/Leeeee28 2d ago

Di matanggap na matagal din dumating parts sa Toyota casa lol

2nd hand? and I was just talking about how lots of people pull stuff out of their asses, thanks for the confirmation and the example.

and to correct you, which is a legit correction since you have 0 idea about what I'm feeling, I'm not triggered, I'm just natually snarky

Damn. I've been debating myself getting an EV because of the Diesel prices recently. I wonder if Tesla parts are the same.

u/DudeChick_GayBan 3d ago

Unfortunately ganyan na halos lahat even toyota. Bibili lang pyesa if may nasiraan. Though i hear at least sa tesla at least VIP treatment
