This is where I buy genuine parts of my hatchback Suzuki vehicle, alto 800. I also listed down 5 common questions about the shop, Olympia Auto Supply at Araneta Avenue, and my answers.
My car
Suzuki Alto 800
2017 model
90,000+ odometer reading
with broken timing belt cover, missing windshield wiper reservoir cover and broken wiper linkage.
Q1: What types of Suzuki parts do they sell at Olympia Auto Supply?
A1: They sell a wide range of genuine Suzuki parts, including engine components, transmission parts, body kits, electrical components, and more. They cater to various Suzuki models, so you can find the right parts for your vehicle.
I bought parts such as timing belt, aircon belt, and recently the timing belt cover for 500 pesos.
The labor is priced differently as it is offered by mechanics in front of their shop.
Q2: Are the parts sold at Olympia Auto Supply genuine Suzuki parts?
A2: Yes, all the parts they sell are genuine Suzuki parts, sourced directly from authorized distributors. They guarantee the authenticity and quality of their products as I often heard from Mr. Jonathan from the store.
Q3: Can I get installation services for the parts I purchase?
A3: Mechanics in front of the shop offer installation services for certain parts. They know the mechanics but the labor rate is discussed separately so I figured it is not part of their service.
But the mechanics can install the parts you purchase from them as I purchase many times already.
Q4: What is the location of the store?
A4: Here’s where you can find them. The store is located at Araneta Avenue. Contact them through Facebook.

Heres a sample of what I currently purchased from them and the labor cost discussed with mechanics in front of the store.
Under Olympia Auto Supply
TIMING BELT COVER – 500
WINDSHIELD WIPER RESERVOIR COVER – 150
Subtotal: 650
Labor cost from the mechanics:
FOR TIMING BELT COVER – 1,500
FOR WIPER LINKAGE – 1,000
OTHERS:
Re-used linkage arm- 500
Welding – 150
Subtotal: 3,150
Total Expense- 3,800
The wiper linkage assembly is 2,500 so better get a new one and don’t copy me. I realized this after I asked for it to be DIYed. But it was fixed fine. I just thought later that by adding few hundreds, I could have used a new one that can serve me for another few years.
New wiper linkage assembly – 2,500
re-used wiper linkage arm – 500
labor + welding = 1,150
Saved 2,500 – (500 + 1,150) = 850
Q5: What mode of payment do they accept?
A5: Cash and Bank transfer only. No GCash payment. Banks are also available near the area. The helpful mechanics are also accepting cash only.
Bonus Question
Q6: Is there a waiting area available?
A6: No. But we waited in the closest restaurants around the area. Last week, we had our lunch at Goto Tendon and waited for 1.5 hour. Sulit naman.
CONCLUSION
I’m glad for the quick transaction. For Bicolanos needing Suzuki parts, Mr. Jonathan mentioned that they can send parts through Prieto Cargo Forwarders. Cost can start from 200 pesos. This is nice because according to my research they only have 2 branches in the Philippines.
