The point is crazy customers dey everywhere.. Just have to learn how to handle it ... And maybe the employee said crazy thing to the customer. Only God knowns

Then it means u have been using the wrong google. Same year model of civic is not as expensive as corolla. People use Honda civic because it will be more easier & faster to recoup their investment compare to high cost of corolla, that is why u see people like dru using civic, not because it is stronger or more fuel economical. I know a lot of persons that have Honda products but can't use it for ehailing. Hondas break down easily when expose to commercial use.

Everyday u keep exhibiting your f00lishness
Can anyone make anything meaningful out of this statement? @bold is killings limited to customers & employee? Haven't u heard about wives killing their husband & vice versa? What about those that walk into schools & public places in the US shooting sporadically? We are talking about mutual respect between two normal persons, u are talking about respect between a normal person and a mentally unstable person because you are mentally unstable. U really need to check your mental health.
We are talking about offering customer care service. Doing uber requires some type of customer service .. Whether you admit it or not.. And some industry deals with worse customers or similar customers behaviour like uber drivers in Nigeria..

But there is a myth or maybe true, Nigerians hate any car calls Honda cause it always have a broken leg. When my dad bought Honda pilot, people complained that he should have gone for a Toyota that Honda always disappoints one on highway with broken legs. Till date people still run away from Honda cause of this...
True sha , and the funny thing is parts matter.. Some will say this car no good etc something is always breaking. The quality of parts you use matters a lot, if u are using wrong parts or low quality. You will be frustrated to the point that you think the car is bad or not study enough for Nigerian road..
Long time ago , a mechanic replaced my Elantra fuel pump with a Camry fuel pump. The driver at the time condem the car ..

Dru has finally diversified his business offerings. Here's to making more money in 2020 bro!
To you too... Am not doing it big like that. Am doing it for car lovers alike .. Buying those things can be expensive, because it comes with warranty .. So if I can help 1 or two person from killing their engine and burning money. It will give me joy, it is case of you scratch my back and I scratch yours.. Customers are happy and am happy too . We all happy, and business is not always should be amount money all the time. It is also about solving a simple problem.

Not so good a thing to say bro... I respect your exposure and level of education. However, it's unfair to use that in the manner you did.

You just politely insulted some fellas in here, just like me saying if not that I am not used to insulting my friends, I would have said that this your post is a stupid post.

Let's try to respect each other, despite the fact we know each other's level and capacity. We are all here to share experiences and learn from each other.
What was the bad thing I said ? Did I say uber drivers are not uneducated? Please read over and try to understand... The level of exposure I talk about is from experince from working in customer care industry.. That is the exposure am talking about.. The insults I get at times will make u want to slap some people ..
So when drivers complain about Nigerian riders rude behaviour. My point is that I have dealt with worse behavior and some were physical too .. That is part of exposure that I was talking about. And in the past experince I could have press police charges. And some industry requires higher care of customers service and others don't.. But at the end of the day jobs in the USA will require some type of customer care service..

And another example the people that work at McDonald's, Dominion Pizza ,KFC etc. Do you know what does people face at the hands of some customers.. It was in the news ago that a customer order some food at a drive through restaurant.. The customer came back and shot the employee ,because they forgot to give hot sauce or something like that .. She was arrested and taken to jail ..

From my own experince yes .. The civic is very low maintenance compare to corolla and elantra . The suspension of civic last longer than elantra or corolla. You really have to abuse the civic to damage the suspension..

Wish all partners were like you, life would be less harder. Keep up the good deed...
Jokes aside.... Running a fleet of cars for uber can be capital intensive.. Maintenance can take a chunk from the profit.. And type of cars do matter . My civic seems to be the best for the job .. And the Elantra is holding up well too. A lot of partners usually don't know what they are getting themselves into ... in their mind na just to give car and wait for weekly alert... It can be a tough business and sweet at the same time.. You just have to take the good with the bad

Car Talk › ......2005 C240 A/C Compressor..... by dru23(op): 11:46am On Dec 19, 2019
This is a 2005 Benz C240 a/c Compressor. I mentioned earlier that converting an automatic compressor to manual wears out your engine in the long run . It is highly advisable not to do any form of modification or configuration . The excuse that people give is that a/c compressor sold in the market will not last 1 week at all . And from experience yes and no . It all depends on the quality of the Compressor. And it also depends on the a/c tech. It was very hard to not get only a good a/c tech ,but also a good compressor..

So upon request I ship a few for my client. And people ask me . What makes yours so special than the rest. What makes my special is that when sourcing for it . I make sure I buy the ones that come with warranty . The warranty can be anywhere from 30 days to 1 year warranty. So when I buy from these places abroad, am rest assure that it has been properly checked before sold to me . And now am passing on not only good quality compressor, but at affordable price .. This in return will save you money and prolong your engine. And also you need a good tech to properly install it . I will reccomend Radauto for proper installation.. This is for the fact that I had issues with my uber car elantra compressor about 1 year plus ago. My mechanic try to convince me to go the manual way . That is after spending close to 100k naira changing and experimenting in Ladipo .. So finally we took the car to Radauto for diagnostic. The car needed a compressor and a/c drier .. I ship one and got it installed by Radauto . And the rest is history, the a/c has been freezing ,chilling for almost a year since..

I will be taking orders for now till January 7th. Just send in your request at dru23@hotmail. And will go from there. I will try and keep the price down to 40k naira .. Thanks and hope to reply your emails ....

una think say America na heaven ? don't be deceived by the news and all that,plenty plenty illegals drive uber and that's a fact,my own brother was an illegal and drove for uber for almost a year,some people just think America has an all seeing system that can't be hacked lol
Lol .. He only drove for a year ,how come he stop. He should have continue lol.. Trust me during those times he was driving, he was leaving in fear.. Coz at anytime he can get deported... your brother should tell you the truth o ,he was driving in fear .. If you don't have papers in the USA . You are on borrow time , looking for good job will be very limited..

And one thing about uber in the USA . It is not every city that uber is profitable for drivers.. And to even make money on uber ,you have to drive long hours . You will still make money no doubt ,but your body go feel am especially in winter time.. Most of my friends do uber on part time basis...
Don't let anyone fool you. If your brother is illegal, which am sure he still is .. Even if he goes and marry for papers . It will be too late ,in order for you to marry for papers .. You documents has to be currant or better yet you have to marry before you stay expires. The smart ones do it either on a visit visa or school visa. And your brother can't claim asylum either.. If he claims it and he gets deny ,which is very likely.. He will have to leave the country or he will be bundled back to Lagos first class.. When I say first class , I don't mean first class ticket . I mean sharp sharp he will in Lagos before he knows it.

Life in USA without papers is life of fear and uncertainty. Even if you making good money and etc .. The moment you are caught ,they are not going to allow you to pack your loads o .. The same cloth you have on is the same cloth you will be deported.... And I don't want to sound disrespectful.. Am sure your brother is one of those guys that helps connect buyers in Nigeria via craiglist or offerup for electronics like iPhone, iwatch, laptops etc .. And he gets paid like $15 for each transaction and sends it to Nigeria.. I was asked to do that and I told am legal. So I will paid $15 each for transaction that I connect with the Nigeria buyer. A person that is legal and has better job will not waste his time doing such thing. It is hustling backwards . But if are illegal ,I guess you have no choice..

PS.. The truth hurts my brother.. Been illegal is not easy o .... Those are illegal will be more than likely be illegal for life .. There is no ways about that .. Once you over stay .. You stay ,u are on borrow time. Abi you didn't hear about kids that came illegally to the USA .. when they were babies and they get deported back to their country as adults. And regardless if they committed a crime or not.. A word is always enough for the wise...

I can relate. There are lots of lemon cars out there, own by partners who doesn't have the skill set to run logistics business like uber. They feel once they have bought the car or will start churning out morning without any setback like TBills. It's just crazy but one has to sieve through till you get the perfect partner.


As for those insult men me I no go take am oh "oloriburuku" I for done give her a piece of my mind am telling you.

Owner partners who can't afford grade one tokumbo corolla should go for dru23 instead of flooding the platform with accidented and dead corolla, corolla that you will work one week and spend two weeks at the mechanic.

I had such corolla no be person tell me to go drop am... O2 sensor bad, no catalyst, idle speed is high, four bad tires and the MOFO said he will not replace them that he has bought one I should buy the remaining, only the car brake just flat for falomo bridge, car struggle to accelerate or change gear fast when your leg is on the throttle..men crazy Las Las go drop am oh, I can't come and kill myself.

The car am using now has its won coma too, naaa major get am. I just dey behave like wife wey no want make him husband vex just to make these work while my eyes is on the target...

Brother story plenty
That I agree with you 100% .. Most partners are not hands on.. Most can't even maintain their own car ,let alone cars for uber.. A lot of these partners just want the driver to start money right away... And that why a lot of them give up or by stay by the fence...

Drivers have their own fault too .. First of all I maintain all my cars . The maintainence is 100% done by me either small or big .. So I had one driver ,that drives for me . The first few weeks things were ok and than out of no where he was constantly going to my mechanic.. It now became a situation that we were fixing the same issue over and over again.. So my mechanic called me and he Oga , can you give me permission to talk to the driver .. I said why , he said this your driver dey use this motor enter bad road too much .. He said even if na highlander self go get this issue coz the way the driver dey drive .. So he spoke to the driver . And I spoke to the driver, and the driver stated that uber blocked him . And for him to meet up ,he had to do taxify.. And he can't reject request other wise he will not meet.. So after that incident he has been doing ok .. And also he sign up for Ocar.
Another driver that I met here early Feb . I gave him the car in good condition. He test drove the car to make sure no issues at all . He came back happy and I introduced him to my mechanic.. My mechanic address his concerns and he fix them.. So first day on the Job, driver called and said somebody hit him . And that he will take the car to my mechanic. Since he is aware that I do 100% of repairs and maintenance.. I said no and he should drive the car home. When I looked at the car ,you can tell he was at fault.. So I told him he can go home and I will him later. It cost me 60k naira to fix the car , so driver started calling me and mechanic. He wanted to know when the car will be ready. I just ignored him and he called my mechanic tired. Until he finally got the picture.. I was so upset and angry . And he came back on nairaland looking for rental . I just kept shut and I figure whoever gives him car will regret it .. He was on nairaland for months looking for a car ..

My point is that we have to hold partners and drivers to a standard.. We can't just blame partners all the time . Drivers too need to be held accountable too .
