GAZZUZZ: We will o Oga mi. You should be alerting your customers when they’re due for routine maintenance. Make dem no wait till small “Tik Tik“ sound turn to major “Tik Da Dam Ghush” sound I no dey even drive my GL as much because if na that N4.2M I go dey pay for clearing I no do again.

EgunMogaji2: My guy has multiple horror servicing and maintenance horror stories na You know how we do. One guy who was recommended by someone with an edge held car for two weeks then he went there and met the windscreen broken I have my own story where I engaged someone on this platform and got my car back in worse condition after a 2 week delay. Finding a competent and honest mechanic is needle in haystack stuff. Another friend actually went on leave and sat with them in the workshop when they fixed his wife's car. Sounds extreme, but once you have just a little knowledge you will flip out at the attitude of 95% of our artisans (not just mechanics) The conventional wisdom in the past was get rid of your car after 4 years, because mechanics would have fked up so many things in it and diminishing returns will set in The current conversional wisdom, keep managing the mfer 6 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: That's why I said once you have a little knowledge, you will get pissed at these guys. Not a wrencher/ gearhead - my DIY is more toward tech stuff and minor home repairs I had a thinkpad that would not boot and I could not solve it by myself. I gave it to a guy who was recommended. When I got it back it was working, but the keyboard was broken and some number keys would just not work And there are videos from lenovo on YouTube showing how easy it is to remove the keyboard. I bought a new keyboard replaced the broken one, but the keys still do not work. I cannot begin to imagine what the guy fked up in a thinkpad, one of the easiest devices to repair So when my main thinkpad started having thermal problems, wey pass me, it was 9 months before I took the plunge, made some calls and went to pc village myself Thankfully, the guy recommended this time actually knew his shit. 2 Likes |
