It is the panel beater that repairs exhaust system of the car, automechanic deals with the mechanical/electrical system of your car. The vin no of your car will give you the exact spare part specifications of the car. It is no brainer! So sorry about this.

Let's share our ordeal in hands of evil mechanices...

Lalasticlala

My experience is this. I called this guy, Hammed, to help replace my V6 engine plugs, because the car isn't firing properly, only for him to tell that the six 'TOKUNBO' plugs cost N4000.

Ok, no problem. I gave him the money plus N2,000 workmanship. Fast forward to later in the afternoon, a friend asked the whereabouts of my car and I narrated the aforesaid. Only for him to scream to high heaves about how can six plugs cost that much. Low and behold, he called his mechanic that he wanted the same thing I just paid for, and the total cost that one gave us was N1,400.

That was my experience in recent times. If I should start the one where my car spent more than two months with N140,000 spent and the same problem persists, we won't leave here.

Only this? If i begin narrate stories of what i passed through in the hands of mechanics, tailors, doctors/pharmarcist, bankers self join the disappoint. You go cry for me.

Who is left out was it my teacher in secondary school or lecturers in the university? For you to feel this disappointed in a little matter as this in Nigeria, surely you no grow here.

Just yesterday i ask my wife to take my baby to a private hospital to find out what is wrong with her. They did a few diagnosis and came out with a name. She came back told me our child is suffering from upper respiratory track infection.

I asked what drug they gave her, she said they demanded 10k she didnt go with that much. I asked a doctor friend who told me not to be perturbed, it's just common cold found in children of that age.

So i was wondering why the big grammer if the doctor can simply mention common cold.

So you see madam, that's the way Nigeria is programmed. We think of nothing else than to extort each other.

Imagine, because of this you complaining, just last month a mechanic condemn my uncle's car engine just because he didn't tag him along when he went to get the car, we discover this after he got another engine for 350k, other mechanic at the workshop were so surprise and couldn't believe their eyes, they had to tell my uncle what the mechanic said that my uncle thought he is smart, going to get a car without tagging him along, that he will make him spend on the car so that next time he won't make the same mistake. After politicians fear mechanic.

I had a mechanic I supposedly trusted. This mechanic will comes to my office to pickup my car anytime It had issues to repair
and return it afterwards. It kept on having a reoccurring problem of back shocks going bad. This guy fleeced me more than 6 times in 2 months. Always saying "Oga that's the problem of this car oh" whenever I complain of incessant change of shocks. When I couldn't take it any longer I went to another Mechanic who brought out the back shocks in my presence, Lo and behold the previous evil Mechanic had been padding my shocks with strips of rubber cut out from Tyres.I nearly fainted

AutoReportNG:
Call her a blunt person, you won't be wrong, AIT presenter, Lara Owoeye Wise is not taking it funny as she called her mechanic saying he won't make heaven... Read her post below..

He is not my mechanic. My mechanic of over four years is far from my house. This guy is just a walking distance away from my house. We see everyday as I drive out and in. We got acquainted over the years having realised we share the same faith. He is so passionate about God. I would sometimes stop by to gist.

We would talk politics, faith and life in general. He fixed very minor problems on the car ranging from replacing lose screws to greasing tight knots. Minor stuff. Tor... Two weeks ago he told me my 'silencer' was leaking and driving the car like that would cost me too much fuel.

He went under the car, told me it was completely condemned. He brought it out, and, yes, it was. I had worked on it severally. We had to buy a new one. He told me how much. We haggled. I paid. Left the car with him. Hoped in a taxi to do my runs. He returned the car at night. Following morning, I started the car, it sounded like an aircraft. So noisy. I called him. He said he wasn't coming to the shop that day as he had an outside job. I left the car. Picked a cab. Did my runs. I drove the car to him again the following day.

Dropped it there and went to work. I picked my car on my way back and as far as I was concerned, it was okay. When I asked why the initial noise, he told me some screws were not firmly tightened. He then said he realised that the 'silencer' he fixed on my car was too weak for my six-cylinder engine so he had to get a higher grade which cost him three thousand naira extra... Ok.

On Saturday , I drove to my main mechanic to discuss some pending issues and as soon as I drove in, he told me my 'silencer' was leaking. I shot him a terrible glance of " you must be out of your mind. My 'silencer' is brand new". He got under the car and screamed. "Madam, did you say this 'silencer is new?" to which I replied in the affirmative. He took pictures from underneath the car and showed me on his phone. I felt my breakfast fighting its way up from my stomach to my throat.

I called my 'brother' and handed the phone to my mechanic and he got a tongue lash from him for being so dubious.
My 'brother' then told me to bring it back on Monday since it was a Saturday and he had just been bereaved.
Monday morning. I went to his shop and all I asked was for us yo drive to where he purchased my 'silencer'. I was no longer the sweet madam he was used to. I opened the passenger side door and insisted he must hop into the car.
Then his countenance changed.

He went flat on the floor begging in the name of God.
I asked him to bring out the 'silencer'.
Ladies and gentlemen, look at the pictures.
Old, worn-out 'silencer'.

He confessed that he got an old 'silencer' and refurbished it for me. He said he bought some iron sheets and wrapped the old 'silencer' from inside. He begged and begged. I was hamstrung.

Conclusion.
I should give him till next weekend to get me what I paid for.
I was sad and I still am.
What we do to ourselves in terms of harm and wickedness is grave and so unimaginable.

Your own de learn oo.. my car had one issue like that, while at work, took it to a nearby mechanic. Hello, abeg my car get issue, oga hold on make I finish with this one. Oga wetin do your car, I no like the way e de sound. Help me check am. I went back to the office, received a call, saying it was the fuel pump, and all. Well, to my utmost surprise, he did it well. After work, i filled up my tank, and drove to yaba from dolphin. Fuel finished at third mainland bridge. I paid the trucks to take the car to yaba, and then did a small running around at yaba, fuel finished not less than 3 mins. Ah.. kilode. After buying fuel like 5 times, I called another mechanic, and he said whoever did this work isn't a mechanic. The mechanic had turned the fuel tank upside down. So when I buy fuel, I see my fuel in my headlamp, in the speedometer sign, in all areas of the car. I just thanked the lord it never caught fire. Meanwhile; the guy was arrested and confessed he was a mechanic, and since there were no jobs coming in, he had to lie.

this the major challenge with these people. they are never truthful, they want to make millions in a day
and that is why they remain poor and poorer by the day. If your service is expensive but good, people will still stick to you

I can liv my car wit him for 3 weeks, until it's convenient for me to go pick it up. I av seen clients ask him to cum pik 2015 M/Benz in Abuja and take to Kaduna,....and return d car to them wen he is done......so why won't I trust him wit a chicken change w203?
