Have You Heard About APPEARANCE? by Piyke: 11:20am On Mar 29, 2020 |
So this is a term I picked up the last time I was in the market for a motor mount. Apperance is a term used by car part sellers and simply means taking a cheap brand new chinese part and roughing it up to look like a toks part |

This was in Abuja. Curious to learn if this is the same term used in Lagos. What the local term for this in your area? |

GAZZUZZ: Lol. Funny thing was, when I was first told that I would only find "Apperance" mounts, I thought it was a brand. |
Re: Have You Heard About APPEARANCE? by GAZZUZZ(m): 4:58pm On Mar 29, 2020 |
Piyke: engine mounts are usually that way. Especially Honda. For Toyota we get used ones easily |

Piyke: Toks EOD engine mounts are hard to come by, the risk of getting appearance is very high. I got to learn about the word in Apo mech village. Me and a friend went to buy an engine, we had to walk on other engines to get to our engine. The guy gave an instruction, "dont spoil my appearance o!" We got a lecture about appearance and I have always uncovered an appearance anytime i see one. I have witnessed the appearance process in Panteka Kaduna. |

Piyke: Its my first time to hear about this. May God deliver us from the hands of dubious spare parts sellers. Sourcing for smaller parts abroad seems to be the way to go. Meanwhile, please do you have an expert technician on car AC in Abuja? I need to stop my gas from leaking and have my AC up to mortuary standard (like some car dealers do say). |

Piyke: That of new parts is minimal, it's very rampant in fairly used suspension parts. You fix your suspensions (shocks, control arms, C. V joints etc) Your mechanic collects the old ones and sells them off to a mallam dealing on scrap metals. The mallam in turn sells them to a parts dealer who in turn calls an Ugwuagba man. Ugwuagba man refurbish the old parts for a token and return them to parts dealer Parts dealer mixes condemned oil with fuel and sprays on the refurbished parts to give it appearance. Guys buys them back as tokunbo parts and the cycle continues. 2 Likes |
