Terrible. The mechanic came to pick the car early that morning for repairs and returned it later in the evening. I drove out the following morning only for the car to burst into flames on high speed. How I managed to pull the car to a stop is still a mistery till this moment. Unfortunately, damage was extensive and had to sell it as scrap. The disappointing part of it is that I informed the mechanic immediately after the incidence, up till this moment he has not called back to show the smallest of empathy. Terrible experience I must say. 26 Likes 3 Shares |

At Ikoku in Port Harcourt, where I went to fix my bike. I was told bearing could possibly be causing one disturbing noise from the rear tire. So wen I got there. the mechanic I Met proposed to change front n back bearing, during the cos of the work, he almost changed everything in the bike. Making me buy parts n spending all I had on me, but still the noise still continued and couldn't even run anymore, he even wanted to loose my engine and change piston n rings for 30k. But I later met an expert who only noticed the wheel was not well seated and got it fixed for just 1k 33 Likes 3 Shares |

Suddenly, I saw heavy smoke coming out from the engine... Next thing I hear, Kabiru.. Kabiru, Engine ti mu Ina. Engine tin jo...Da omi ati omo si. (Meaning. Kabiru kabiru.. The engine is on fire.... The engine is burning.. Pour some water and Detergents )... That was what baba kabiru said from under the car. My head empty straight... Con dey think say who send me? We sha get water pour am ontop engine.. Even pour am on baba kabiru head join.... Ever since den. Make my silencer break I no dey look am at all. 32 Likes 1 Share |

I trouble shoot my car first before taking it to m mechanic. My mechanic calls me a mechanic too. When there is any issue on my car, I check for what it's is first on youtube and scanner before going to mechanic. One needs to know his car else mechanics will ride on u 17 Likes |

Removed my car battery to jump start another car without knowing that once my car battery is removed, the car has to reset itself and thereby would be stopping every interval.. Once I apply my brake, it would go off and I have neutralize the gear to start it again... Imagine the insults I got on the road in the morning traffic cos of the break and quench.....then he worst of it all is the thing now decided to do the worst at Fela shrine that evening.. I didn't even mind but I drove the car from Lagos to East the very next morning.. The whole resetting mode corrected itself when I got to Asaba Delta state cos since I'm in a free road, I didn't have to use the break all time like on a busy Lagos roads. It wasn't easy, only an experienced driver can do that 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Ikoku... Some idiots removed the screws holding my back tyres. They left just one screw per tyre and waited on standby for my car to crash so they can come to me with solutions. Luckily, I noticed at a safe spot, handling was terrible so i had to do a physical analysis, the tyres at the back were bent and ready to roll off. I took some screws from the front to hold the back tyres, and drove down to where I could get new screws. 15 Likes 1 Share |
