My boss uses Elizade for servicing all his cars...so far so good...the few times I have driven his cars, they seem to be in peak condition ..he buys them brand new from Elizade and has a standing agreement with them for swapping them for the latest model every 3 years...so I guess they have an interest in keeping the vehicle in mint condition since na their hand the motor go land laslas ...even though I think it will take a lot of neglect for a mint Toyota vehicle being driven majorly around the posh areas in Abuja, Lagos and Port-Harcourt to go real bad within 3 years ...so I don't think Elizade has to do much to keep his vehicles mint for 3 years after sale as mint

I as his employee, use Kazeem for servicing my own car..dem no born me and my account balance well to go Elizade ...so far so good as well...my vehicle is in peak condition..I got my honda evil spirit toks and look after it as well as I can afford to...what I can afford being my Kazeem ....Kazeem keeps my car running at very little expense...even though sometimes,for 4 months, I have no reason to visit his garage ..

Point is...when you get to that point in life when you can comfortably afford some 'expensive' services, go right ahead and do it...Money is made to be spent...the kind of people you will be likely to meet while lounging at Elizade sure won't be the same kind you will meet while patronizing Musbau at his under-tree workshop...

The reason why some people patronize Elizade is the same reason why some people lunch at Mama put, some at Jevniks, while some won't eat if it isn't from the Hilton ...Lunch na lunch ...But some lunch are more lunch than others

E get level wey u go reach wey dem no suppose see ur motor for Kazeem place...it just has to be Elizade or nothing....that's the prestige that comes with growth...don't stifle it if you have grown so big that you can afford brand new vehicles that of course naturally require after-sales support from these big mechs

Besides, you don't wanna hand over for example, a 2021 Prado to a random Kazeem who is very likely going to work on that model of vehicle for the 1st time...na your motor e go use learn how to fix that model

E get the kind late model of vehicle wey u go get that it makes perfect sense to leave its servicing to its maker's recommended mechs in order to avoid your vehicle becoming a guinea pig in the hands of our Kazeems who are not well acquainted with the new tech and workings of these very recent vehicles.

These big mech franchises have access to manufacturer software, updates and tools that Kazeem will never have in 600 years..so for some models of vehicles, it's better to stick with them until the vehicle has been around long enough for Kazeems to use those of unfortunate owners to do trial and error and finally arrive at some sort of expertise regarding them..

oga na DC I hear last..
u never tell us evil spirit don enter

oya celebrate it for we naaaa.
congratulations boss

Is it frustration or lack of sense of humour?

How could you not sense that was just a joke?

Every joke, you people carry "mentality" into it.

Allow people that want to laugh out for relief and fun do it if humour isn't your own thing.

thanks Jare.... it made me laugh

alphabbey1:
ask for price from spare parts dealers... if they call 2 different prices for you,, go for the expensive one.

Don't get me wrong, cvt don't take abuse, but most people don't know what is cvt, some end up using abro or other cheap atf instead of Honda cvt. So if he have a good maintenance culture, he can stick with the Honda.

Honda cvt has prove to be reliable.

I currently have 26.7 on trip meter A. Though I must admit, I'm still doing some new car spirited driving moves . So not good time to measure mpg. I usually do not drive with ECON on except when in traffic.

Also update us when(or if done) you perform transmission fluid change.
