100ksalescom: O Boy Na Nepa Pole u Jam?

edozie04: I went to a police station yesterday and the wood the police people used as their entrance broke making my two back tires to fall inside the gutter,a man I supposed to be a police officer came claiming that we should push the car while he drives it,little did I know that he can not drive and when we pushed he rev the car hitting the police gate and as soon as he knew what happened he quickly opened the car and ran away,the police people denied knowing the man,I suspect he is an officer,I would really appreciate the car gurus here to come and link me up with a good mechanic as my mechanic is very dubious and cannot be trusted with a big work like this

GAZZUZZ: You want this car to look sharp again, consider replacing.

* Bonnet
* bumper
* ac condenser
* front grill
* Probably radiator.

And I think you need a good Panelbeater not a mechanic at the moment.

Please do not drive the vehicle until you fix the leaking transmission fluid.

Bossmd:

In as much as this is not funny, it sounds like a Nollywood Script

Anyway this is a small work for experienced Lagos Auto Artisans.

Well I should think your radiator is damaged.....hhmmm I just hope and pray with you that your transmission is safe....that leaking transmission fluid is a bad sign. That man has caused you some serious expenses if I may say. You may be coughing out like 200k to fix this, Oven paint inclusive.

edozie04: In as much as I do not wish for this to happen to anybody I just hope that yours won't sound like a nollywood script



I pray it does not get to that,just coughed out 30k today and it aint funny

CityNG: Excellent, this is a nice thread.

Hope she's as so good as new soon.

Bossforeva: Bravo brother.. Pls if u dn't mind, u can also tell us how much it cost you.

edozie04: I have spent like roughly 120(workmanship inclusive),the painter is saying for ovum paint he will take 70 but will finalize it with 50 tomorrow.Wanted to put front and back protector but I do not think I can bear the cost now

Bossforeva: k. Did The Police Dept later do anything towards the repair.

edozie04: I hope so too,would have wanted to give credits to the panel beater that is a nairalander who is the panel beater but for some reasons he choose not to be known

CityNG:

I don't blame him.

1) Of late, Nairaland seems to have been infected by pre pubescent mouth breathing troglodyte Neanderthals.

2) He may want his fledging business shielded from the wraths of the keyboard body shop experts.

Don't mind me I'm pissed as I have a 70 mile commute home today

Siena: Sorry to see your nice SUV was damaged, Edozie, it looks a clean example.

I'm glad the work is being done to a high standard. Who says we don't have good craftsmen in Nigeria?

She's in good hands.

edozie04: Nothing,I even had problems before moving the car out of the police station,even some of them said that I will settle them for parking space,I seriously felt frustrated

skyfall: If a policeman is smiling at you, better run fast.

CityNG: I don't listen to them anymore.

It's clear that artisans that take pride in their automotive work exists in Nigeria.

I must admit, I'm ashamed of myself. I was one of those that looked down on Nigerian technicians.

Working in the Automotive Industry here in the UK, I have seen short cuts that fall way short of regulations. Nigeria is a developing country, the UK is a developed nation, with all the resources behind them. So what's their excuse?

The average British bodyshop would rather replace a panel that has a dent larger and deeper than a beer bottle top. The average Nigerian panel beater will beat a mangled fender, and shape it close to 95% of it's original profile. That's the difference between a bodyshop and a true craftsman.

Sorry for going off-topic guys, just had to rant a bit.
