Back to the topic...Majority of Nigerian artisans are terrible at fixing things-careless at best!.Most times when you take ur car to a mechanic and you watch the way they yank this part off & pull that part out of its place,you totally fall outta love with that car!

Some of this mechanics are daily bread mechanics oo. Some will even pour oil inside the radiator and pour water inside the engine. With present economic recession in naija a lot of fake mechanics are advancing from their homes to the streets. Road users Beware.

OP sorry for the ugly experience, any ways the it is an easy fix when you have the right tools, I believe that at least one wheel speed sensor is not responding. It may be the sensor or wiring.

For any of these I can can only go as far as a scan, and diagnosis. Will not repair.

These mechanics are rogues. My mechanic was playing nice guy and I trusted him with my car, I gave gifts to his family and assisted him when he needed help.

My car needed a dashboard conversion and I left other qualified mechanics and gave it to my mechanic. He asked for 180K deposit and I paid him. He collected the money and reluctantly refused to come and pick the car. Two months later he came and collected the car, he was telling me stories of how car parts scarce and dollar rate. Meanwhile I gave him the job when dollar rate was N305/$ and he waited for dollar rate to climb to N450/$. Also, he bought some car parts with my money which he left for several months until they damaged in his storage.

To cut the long story short, I wanted to cut off his balls but people begged to pardon him. He was persuaded to do the job which cost me 170K extra from initial agreement. Spent nearly N400K in total still not satisfied.

I am pissed and have given up hope on humanity especially Nigerians.
Why are people so cruel, why are Nigerians evil. I will never trust any Nigerian again in my entire life and I will keep warning others.

Good day nlers.

So my vehicle has been displaying this VSC and TRAC OFF warning lights for a while. I know the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) isn't working properly which is why the light is on and the TRAC is off which is why the light is also on.

Suddenly my ABS had a problem and the ABS light went on. The vehicle couldn't move into transmission. So I used the emergency way to move it to my mechanic.

The mechanic fixed the ABS and the light went off. But he couldn't fix the VSC.. do you know what this man did? He used something to block/off the VSC and TRAC light and told me my vehicle is now perfect.

My vehicle is perfect and "Check Engine" light is still on and my TRAC is OFF so the light should ON not off
So I suspected foul play and waited till night and looked at the dashboard closely and noticed this crazy man smuggled a small piece of paper into my dashboard to block off the lights from showing. And collected my 50k for ABS and VSC

I unscrewed the dashboard and removed the paper myself and both VSC and TRAC lights started showing again. Can you imagine that?

That is why Nigeria is where it is...

Please take your vehicles to authorized dealers and engineers only. Not those oluwole and Owolabi mechanics.

Oga GAZZUZZ bet why? Any concrete reasons at all why you don't fix these vehicles anymore and doesn't it also mean you are limiting yourself to only very few brands of vehicles?

Why are we Nigerians like this? Someone said he doesn't fix a brand of vehicle and it's an issue, so you'll prefer he takes your car on and at the end of the day, you'll have to come and open a thread on nairaland to rant abi

Why the god-like worship, there a thousand good mechanics in lagos alone, must it be one person who must fix your car?
