will what u mentioned made sense, will actually pay like 2k for all those stuff grin, if u guys do all that. But perosn cant just change oil & expect 3k grin, some even add extra 500n on filter price if u decide to buy from them
grin

Original denso filter is 6,500 boss. No jokes

For the extra 500, na handling charge.


We forget mechanics enter transport to buy parts, parts that are not warrantied, and he is expected to warranty them.

Filter is 500, and we expect him to sell 500 too. Ho, he is not a parts seller, i forgot.

I say, na we be our own problem.
Car TalkRe: My Mercedes-benz GL550 08 Not Starting When The Engine Get Hot. by DMechy: 11:17pm On Apr 07, 2021

The car is now OK after I was introduced to one very good rewire in ojuelegba, I later changed the engine, I bought the engine at owode onirin, accident vehicle, and it was still doing the same thing. I later took it to AUTOLOGIC at federal science and technical college in yaba, it spent 4weeks there without any positive result, they even condemned the 2nd engine I bought, saying I should go for borale tokunbo engine of N700,000. The car I bought there in a good condition was toyed to ojuelegba. The engine was run with diesel engine oil for 2hours to flushed out dirty particles and later used synthetic oil, I was told to be changing the oil every two weeks for three times. and he also re programed the brain box and we also changed the kick because the former kick got burnt at AUTOLOGIC workshop. Now it's starting after driving it for hours. I'm dancing AZONTO.... lol
Your problem was a bad ecu all along.

And those kind of faults dont show on scan.

You need live data to detect them with a streak of luck

Mercedese are prone to engines not starting when brainbox is hot. Most times as a result of a bad driver in the ecu

shocked

I actually pay like 200-300 for an oil change. of course I go with my filter & oil.

#500- 1k I rather sacrifice 30 minutes during d weekend and do it ma self grin
Na them be this grin


If we are doing an oil change for you. You are sure coughing out 3k on service charge.

And yes, we wont just change the oil. Will also do a multipoint check. Check you air filter, brake pads, all fluids, see to it that you dont leave the shop with a problem you are not aware of cool

If you say you just want your oil changed, leave the check. You are still paying the 3k tongue

Everywhere don burst before i land.


We dont like paying for service, and we get what we pay for.


You will see a customer that wants to do oil change , buys his filter and oil. And after oil change, he say, i beg, i no get money again. I go see you. Or he squeezes something in your hands as if he is giving police man money. Then when you take a look, na 500, or 1k.

Oga how far, na joke be this. 500, he says, that is how much he changes oil at total filling station, and he isnt lying, thats why you don't pity them when they go through car woes.

Naijas Tory issa different ish. We are our own problem.

And you expect the mechanic to get the Autel Maxiys Ultra, with a yearly subscription of $1,000 dollars. Una, take time.

There are great places to fix your car, without fear of anything getting screwed up. The question is, can you pay?
