Your Mechanic Is Cooking A Lie To Tell You by Ekakamba: 6:42pm On May 01, 2023
I was in Apo earlier today to pick a parcel around Honda Arena, while waiting in my vehicle, I heard a loud noise. I quickly stop my car's engine and stepped outta my car due to curiosity, only to discover that the noise was from a Camry (pencil light or so) in the pool of its own black engine oil.

I heard some guys (prolly mechanics) saying 'e don knock'! I asked the first one, he stated the same thing, so also the second and the third.

The mechanic that was revving the car was inspecting the engine with his bloodshot eyes, he inspected the engine the second time and tears nearly dropped from his eyes.


At this moment, his colleagues were scolding him saying 'you dey fire car wey you no know how the engine dey'.

Wetin provoke me be say, the manchi colleagues come dey help am cook lies wey him go serve the owner hot hot, so that the blame go dey the owner head or him motor.

Make wuna no dey leave wuna car with mechanic oooo.


Finally. grin

One Saturday Morning, I took my car in for some detailing around Wuse.. Detailer say make I come back by 3pm, say the work plenty..E charge me 8k..i no argue

I told detailer that I never leave my car for any Auto Artisan.. That he shouldn't worry, I will sit and wait. ..say I no wan hear say anybody drive my car and tamper with am aside the detailing work wey carry me come.

One hour pass, na im I say make I find food chop for one Buka across the road.. Na so one babe call me ask me wia I dey.. I tell her..As she show, we chop finish for the Buka come enter Uber go Green Mind Hotel for Utako to collect one nak for the road.. One nak enter two, two nak enter 3.. Last last na past 5pm I return Wuse to pick my car from Oga Detailer..

Omo, as I start my moto, na im I see say Trip Meter don reset and the car radio don lock dey ask for code.. Na so e clear me say the weyrey detailer comot my battery use am dey start another vehicle...Na im I ask detailer wetin happen to my radio.. E begin swear with im ancestors say e no touch anything.. Na im I say I no go pay am until e talk wetin e do my battery, after I showed him how my odometer Trip A had reset to 0.0.. Na so detailer admit say e give one electrician my battery to start one car.. Long and short, he called someone to ask the price of unlocking the radio, na im the Pesin tell am 10k..na so I tell detailer make e no worry, say I go bear half the cost, as I go remove 5k of the unlock fee from the moni wey I suppose pay am.. I then sent him 3k out of his 8k detailing fee and drove out of the workshop..

Before I reach the next junction, I stopped and entered the radio code which I had since memorized after having the radio unlocked when I just got the vehicle. grin.. After a few hours, I called the detailer and sent him his 5k balance, warning him never to tamper with clients' vehicles outside the job he is given to do.

I sure say for next few months, that detailer will be very careful not to tamper with vehicles brought to him.. If you sabi Alfa Suraj wey dey do car detail for Wuse, help me greet am grin

See experiences.
Omo, I hardly allow mechanics test drive my vehicle oo, majority of those guys are heartless.

Even the few ones wey I allow to test drive without me following them, my heart go dey beat.

I go alignment for one of my customer place, he finish am come say e wan test drive, he drive comot, come come back after 15mins or more.

As e enter e hole wan do second adjustment, me I start dey inspect my motor. I see one better dent below the rear door, I tell am make him comot for hole first, one important work dey.

He comot, I show am and tell am say I no dey gree lailai.

Him never see me provoke since the last 4years wey dem recommend am to me. Nicca quickly look for panel beater and painter. Na there there him fix that dent like say na back to factory mode.

I no wan know how much e cause am, I just warn am, paid him for his services and left.

But he always use the car to carry women. Even to guesthouse. As i can see it from my tracker.

You should caution him... Because he helped you to learn driving doesn't give him the liberty to use your car for just anything.

Make him No go commit with your car
