Well I'm sorry some have not had my good experiences.  Just wonderin'...... does speaking to them only in Spanish make a difference?????

Yes, it seems to help

I went to buy somehintg for GPS in my car at that Steren store once. The girl let me take the part out for a drive to check it out withour me even paying for it or leaving a deposit.  I was impressed.

Went to Steren across from Walmart and asked for a watch battery, was told 'we don't have any". I supplied the number and they still denied that that they sell them. I told them that I had purchased it here previously, they were adamant I did not. I asked them to please check their cross reference list, which they did after much reluctance. They did find it. I will ensure that I will avoid this store at all costs. Be forewarned.

Depending who waits on you service can be very good to poor. 

Mine aren't blight resisent. To combat the blight I sprayed mine witn a mixure of water, neem oil, and dishwashing soap. And then rubbed the wet leaves clean of blight by hand. 

Thanks for the notice

It is a whole new process   And, we haven't had to pay anything for a couple of years as testing was suspended while they built and started using the new testing facilities.  Almost everything has increased in price.

We'll see how it works out.

What charge?  The cost of the inspection is $500 for everyone.

The price has gone up a lot. It used to be 300 pesos. 500 is a lot more

I went for my appointment to Ocotlan yesterday.  The scenery is beautiful, mostly pastoral.  I left at 8:30 for my 10 AM appointment.  Arrived at 9:30. Finished at 9:55, and back home at 11:20

How much did they charge?

You have no idea the reasons people may need someone to drive their cars for them for the test. 

Of course not but for most people it is easy enough to do but probably not necssary,

1700 which included 500 for the actual test.  

Expensive to do it that way. Better off to do it yourself if you  can. And you drive out to some interesting countryside

HI whilst you info is interesting it is not current. I think the question now is.. Has the project stalled...???it's certainly talking a long time to complete even by Mexican standards

Yes it is not curent as the deals keep changing as do the expectations.

Cedros, Can I ask why you visited? Were you thinking of it for someone?

I am considering options for my Mom.

Why not?

Then unless a facilitator got an official RFC number for you, you don't have one.

That is quite likely

Cedros, you are replying to a person that is no longer on this board.

That is  good news.

You may not need it but obviously SAT thinks you need one so lets see who wins that one..

So far i'm winning.

Assigned by whom? On what, your car papers? A generic RFC number will not read like I explained to you above- if it reads like I showed, it isn't generic.

I am trying to help you, but you really are difficult to understand.

You are not making sense.

1/2 inch in west San Juan Cosala last night

I have visited it twice. It looks more interesting from the carretera. Some parts of it are finished and lived in and the owners say they are happy. Other parts are sold but not close to being finished. The common facilities like a restaurant or pool have yet to be built. It is an interesting concept but very expensive.

I have visited that place twice. Parts of it are complete. the swimming pool, cafeteria have not been built yet. The Eastern part-condos for sale-work on these seems to have stopped. In the center units with a small yard a number have been completed and are lived in.  You have to pay 10,000 for these and then monthly rent. Price does not include all appiances. The western part-Memory care is being used.

It is an interesting concept but will it fly? It is fact and fiction

Odds of getting a Mexican insurance company to pay a claim are the same odds, IMO and from what I have read over the years, are the same as getting hit by lightening 3 times within one hour with no ill effects.

Not true, I have had 3 or 4 processd.

I always get insurance. There are lots of things that can burn-cupboards, doors, curtains, furniture etc. Most people use gas for cooking and heating water-that could be a source for a fire and often is.  I've seen some reults of terrible fires fueled by propane. eg. Daniel Jackson the jeweler in Ajijic. A bigger worry for me since my property was on a slope was damage from earthquake or water. It is great if your insurance package has liability-in case a worker is injured.

The only problem with processing a claim is that it was slow.

The Canadian Snowbirds magazine reported that coming this fall there will be a cellular plan that will work seamlessly in Canada, the US and Mexico.

I paid first then made my appointment.   Easy

It sounds like the trick might be to pay first and then get an appointment
