my mechanic did something that got me upset last week so i thought i should share it with you all. i travelled to Abuja and while driving around the city, my car developed a fault. i took it to a nearby mechanic workshop where it got fixed. the bearing of my car was changed!...now here is the bombshell...when i got back to where i reside,lagos, i decided to take my car to my personal mechanic for servicing. i left the car at his workshop for a whole day. the next day when i came to get my car he told me my bearing(the same bearing i just bought) are worn out and needs to be replaced. i doubted it knowing i just changed it of recent, so i asked him to bring it so i could see for my self...lo and behold, it was a different bearing entirely he showed me. i know this cos i know the brand i bought in Abuja and it is definitely not it...so i just played along. i asked him how much a new one costs, he told me. i gave him the money but i also instructed him to let me see it before installing it. later,when i came back, he brought it to me. i checked it and discovered it was the same bearing i bought in Abuja. i asked him to bring the pack and nylon, he said he had disposed them....i laughed at his folly.he coupled my car and i left.





It seems you have "99 problems, but money ain't one", if not why will you give him money even when you are aware his trying something fishy?

All artisans are bunch of liars.

Imagine a mechanic calling you to know how far with your car,because he's turned me to a mobile ATM.

No matter what you do,they always have a way to scheme their customers.

[b]Mine told me my tie rod bushings were worn, gave him money and he claimed he fixed them and brought the car an hour later. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fast forward, two weeks later I needed to make an emergency trip and I wanted to change my brake pads, fortunately my mechanic wasn't in town so I decided to take the car to another mechanic. . . . . . . . . . . .on removing my tyres, the new mech tells me my tie rod bushings are worn, so I act the fool and tell him to change them, he removes them in front of me and truly there are worn, I also discover that the bushings have never been changed before, to add salt to injury, the bushings for my vehicle are not even in the market in Abuja talkless of being fixed within the hour!!! . . . . . . . .long story short, two days later I get the bushings from Lagos and everything thing is fine . . . . . . . . . . . .I drive straight to my original mechanic and narrate my story, He initially tries to deny but later starts apologising when I show him the old worn bushings!!![/b]
