Please i have a strong premonition that i need to change my mechanic.
Reasons:
1) The distance from Dutse/Dawaki to Apo mechanic village is very far.
2) His expertise is ok and his fees are often mutually agreeable but i still want a better and a top notch mechanic. Most times, when he does a job for me. I need to go back once or twice with extra fees and costs. No engine or transmission stress at all. Steering rack and power steering pump stress. Bought a toks power steering pump, worked on my steering rack, they dont leak at all. But i hear a whining noise slightly from the pump when the car is on idle or running. The mechanic said its the rack again after 'bleeding' the pump. The cost of the rack (toks) is N30,000. I am tired of his guess work. Before i bought the new pump, the noise was not there.
please i need a new mechanic. If my car was an I-4 engine, it would have been easier for me to decipher on my own. cos there be more free space under the engine. I go under the car when the need arises.
Thanks.

thanks my brother. i will give you a call soon.

The "new" pump you said you bought may have been a locally refurbished unit that may still be faulty. Sometime you may have to try a few tokunbo units before you get it right. The challenge is knowing which one is truly a tokunbo unit or a repaired one unless you have a keen eye for identifying the correct one.
