Please can someone recommend where I can get my rims repaired/refurbished in Lagos?

I have rims that have been slightly damaged bent and scratched via misadventures with the kerb and potholes.

Did mine back then at Apapa_Oshodi expressway after mile2, trinity bustop to be precise based on recommendation. My aluminium Rim bent and had a hairline crack due to pothole I bumped into when I was traveling it was 9pm it occurred. Misplaced the guy number but he's shop is over there and trust me he's good, he heated the rim and hammered it then used oxyacetylene with some Aluminium ore for patching(preheating and postheating was done too) that was since march and the rim is still racing like nothing happened.

Good afternoon people

Wifey’s 07 Lexus es350 landed in February and was serviced with mobil1 5w30 extended performance oil high mileage oil. The one that guarantees 15k miles.
I also used original oil filter.

Car is currently at 4.5k miles after servicing. Should I service again cos it’s already been 8 months since the last service?

My CR-V 08 wldnt start, whenever I turn the ignition on everything comes up except the engine. The radio starts and the dash board lights too come on but the engine will not come up, it will only make some faint noise then stop.

Please who has experience in this, it just started today.

Bros. We don talk this matter tire yet people will not listen.
And it's even cheaper running on the recommended oil or even going synthetic with the longer ocis afforded. Anyway, ladipo people need to buy land in lekki too. So all join. We move. cheesy

Original Proof of ownership, custom papers , agreement if he bought from a previous user also , former vehicle particulars till the present/current date
I once had a Honda Accord 06 the former user a woman gave all the Vehicle particulars from 2012 way down in her name that alone proved over 100% she was the rightful owner before selling to me

Okay thanks. Is there any outlet of any sort that I can confirm the legitimacy of those papers?

I've heard about so many document forgeries in the time past.

Don't go an buy stolen car or car without custom papers or Nigerian used disguised as toks. This your budget cannot buy any of the cars you have listed.
Minimum of 4.5 at least maybe for the Highlander or venza and it won't be limited edition or xle.

Your Bluetooth module is bad. It's under the arm rest. You can get a toks and replace it or buy a small bluetooth plug in device (you plug into the 12v port). It's a 10 minute job. You can watch youtube videos of how to replace the module. It's easy. I unplugged mine when it failed and was draining my battery.
Another fix is to bake it in an oven at 220 deg f for 10 minutes to reflow the solderings. I did this on mine and its working again. Though it's a temporary fix because it is known to go bad again. All the best.
