Some items are better left unrepaired
I remember back den wen i was using a Samsung S3, the screen got broken and i was told to get a new screen + fixing is about 25k.

Yea I can relate..
Bought 32inches TV from their LG showroom for 60k, three days later, TV fell, screen got smashed, took it back to them, they told me to pay 74k for them to fix it.....

I handed the TV to them and that was the last time they saw me.......What nonsense shocked
But that is still your loss. Buying a warranty that covers accidents would have saved the t.v..
Still dont understand why replacing a screen would cost more than a new tv of the same type though.

They didn't tell him the price before repairing the fridge


O pari

Gossipper:
Twitter user Akondu has revealed the weird thing he did after he heard the price used in Repairing his fridge at a Shop in Lagos, According to him after he heard the price was close to N60k he abandoned the Fridge and ran away, lol.

And then the LG personnel will work on the TV, resold it and pocket the money.
Na you lose.
Same as the Twitter guy.
How he come take loose? The repair price is 14k more than a brand new one,obviously they'll not be keen on buying it as scrap..

They probably thought he was a mugu for trying to repair instead of buying another one. Well, the joke is on them now.
The joke is not on them. Apart from the fact that its a massive company, they would just sell it as refurbished. Double profit for them. If the customer buys another LG from them, then triple profit. Either way the customer would be the one to lose money.

His mistake was by not taking the fridge for repair at a regular technician shop instead of an LG repair centre.

Just barely 3 weeks ago, I took my boss 42" LG LED TV to Apapa service centre, lo and behold they charged 144k for screen repair.

How much is the new one for a repair to be so high. I think all these manufacturers are just trying to exploit customers

Toh.....I com taya oo...74k to fix screen of Tv in d same LG company where I bought it.....

I dont even think they have a solution to screen at all, so all they do is indirectly give you a price that will leave you thinking between buying new one or go back home with your broken TV.. grin

Their intent is to sell more by offering exorbitant repair prices. They know customers won't afford a repair, they need u to buy another. They drive sales that way. It's profitable for them.

Imagine dashing them that item, they'll repair and sell to another customer.

The owner of the lg can tell them to leave it the way it was so that he can reclaim his faulty electronic back.

The painful part is that when you take it home and if you are lucky it works for one day and parks up or it will not at all. This is Nigeria where we don't know how to do anything. Shouldn't they have advised him when they knew the cost of repair is more than the cost to buy a new one. Guess work system.
