Mrdigitech: Since u can't collect the money paid to him without any service rendered, at least u can collect back the numerous tips you gave him. Let us know how much all the tips amounted to, so we can start the #NoTipsForMayor movement |

This receipt thing is just somehow. So you spent all this amount to fix or purported fix that car? I'm more concerned about the overheating thing, and parasitic drain charges. I'm trying to draw a correlation between a battery drain, and overheating situation. So, are you saying the other mechanic did fixed the issues with the car, without confirming the car was overheating when you brought it to him? I think we'd still have to wait for @mayor to respond to all these allegations. Regards, Joseph www.dxta.net.ng |

TRYGO: Bro! Try to read the opening post and go through the thread as well. Car never overheated in the first place. It was the charging system he fixed that was supplying 16 to 18 volts at idle that was messing up with the guages and electricals. Making us believe that the car was overheating. The Parasitic drain was also coming from the alternator, which I paid him to fix. He removed my faulty after market alarm, thinking it was the culprit behind the parasitic drain (But it wasn't). He kept my car in his workshop for 5 days and claimed he had resolved the issue, only for me to discover subsequently that the drain continued. By that time, he had sent me away from his workshop like a dog (I thank God he did)...No refunds, no apologies for a grace period of 4 months, which I gave to him... 1 Like |

oooooh Mr digimon... sorry digitech. I understand that u spent a lot of money without value... guess what? so have I and a lot of us here... 4gt that crap that anybody that I give money.... bla bla bla... I'll make sure he pays.... not every time broda. so he serviced ur injector/alternator/radiator with ULTRASONIC bath heck me I want me some ultrasound abi ultrasonic bath he can even service my compressor with it sef I don't mind. I'm sure u all have learnt valuable lessons from this experience .... that's more than enough to me. for u, u have learnt that u need to treat ur car like ur wife cos they both have the ability to kill u; instantly! know ur car very well, read manuals and get technical. before u go to a mechanic, get some or all of the technical details first. else u come in a Porsche cayenne and leave with a horse. if u took ur wife in for surgery and when u go to pick her u meet someone else won't u know? get that intimate with ur car.... and remember not everyone that wears overall is a technician, some are lazy damn quack mechanics capable of absolutely nothing other than pressing spoil button. test every spirit likewise test every mechanic.... every mechanic that doesn't preach or emphasize on the need for thorough diagnosis before treatment, isn't there in MY name! cc obitee52 pipedreams mayor has also learnt to choose his customers wisely, and also to say no to some jobs... I'm sure cos he's damn smart. I'm sure Gazuzz learnt this the hard way. peace y'all I'm having an ultrasonic superfluous big dump right about now and I'm gonna get me an ultrasound bath afterwards 4 Likes |

this name u r blurring tho did he come and scan at home? did he change 02 sensors? the 12k for the parasitic drain thingie,did it include buying the alternator? diagnosis on the overheating,did he find out what caused it? if he bought alternator out of the twelve Kay,kosoro mbe....except omo Ibo will take back the part also,oga has said it's impossible for him to fix that sorta alternator as guru concerned so what gangan are going to do right now? |
Re: Guys My Vehicle Was Saved From An Incompetent Nairaland Auto Guru Mayor2013 by Mrdigitech(m): 9:17am On May 04, 2018 |
diportivo: In response to your questions Did he come to do scan at home? Yes he did... Did he change 02 sensors? Yes he did (the one under the vehicle ) The 12k parasitic drain thingy was a payment for his time and does not include purchase of an alternator. He actually billed me 25K because he claimed he spent time diagnosing my car for the parasitic drain. He held my car for 5 days and claimed he dropped other jobs for mine. I beat the price from 25K to 12k with serious argument ooh... Diagnosing the overheating. He didn't know that the overcharging system he fix was bleeping the guages up. Car never overheated. The cluster guages were misleading as a result of the excess voltages going into them. Instead I paid him money for his incompetence and inefficiency... Bro, there is nothing I can do but review his services and warn others... 3 Likes |

Hmmm. If we aren't getting any response from mayor, and some folks are already coming up to concur on what their experiences had being, then, there must be something going on here. Just my opinion though, from what the OP, and some folks have being saying. Regards, Joseph 08066643532(call/WhatsApp) Lagos |

I initially didn't want to say anything so it doesn't look like one is "badmouthing" another person`s business, but on a second thought I feel its better to state the facts to serve as a guide to others. While I will not classify Mayor as a "kazeem", the obvious truth is that, from my experience he may not be as good as he sounds here. He overcharges, has a very very poor customer relation skill and allows his ego to get a better part of him during business transactions making it look like he is doing you a favor. The high cost incurred did not justify the end-result in anyway even though it was more of a preventive maintenance check. My advise to him is that he should improve on how he interacts with his client and should have the patience to explain things without sounding like the other person is a dullard. I hope he sees this as a feedback which he can use to improve his business without taking offence. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Gboliwe: It's better to speak out so others can know and not fall victim. I currently have two vehicles I need to work on but my previous experience is making me reluctant to try a NL auto engineer again. The ones that have been certified as competent via people's testimonies here are super busy. How I wish these guys can work on their customer relation skill as you rightly observed 1 Like |
