How Gazzuzz Nearly Ripped Me Off 50k!

Ordinarily, I wouldn't put this here because I know the normal Nigerian syndrome of always attacking people when you criticize those they hero worship. But anyways, who cares.

The major reason I decided to put this out here is that I believe that as this Gazzuzz is a known mechanic on this Nairaland, a lot of people might have have fallen for his antics thinking that he is a pro and all that. Many people take whatever he says as the final and thats why he feeds and preys on the gullible.

Recently I contacted gazzuzz that my corolla was vandalized and I needed repairs to be done on it. He asked me what was taken in it. I told him that I lost my brainbox and all four power window controllers. I now told him I needed them replaced and requested the price for everything. Gazzuzz told me that he changes brainbox with 50,000 and Power windows for 30,000. Total of 80,000! As usual with his antics, he was making subtle statements to make me feel that what he does is different from what others does and he is this perfect mechanic. If you observe, most of his threads is always about Kazeem this and that. I became weak in the spirit. Because I thought that I really lost a lot to this armed robbers. I felt that as he is an "Authority" in this line, what he says is the truth.

3 days ago, I decided to use my hand and make some research. Guess what? I went to First Gate at Agidinbi based on a friends recommendation. Come and see Sea of Mechanics looking for work! With only 30,000, I was able to replace all the power windows and the brainbox! With extra 5k, I changed the back glass that was broken! Aint God a miracle worker?

This implies that Gazzuzz was actually willing to rip me off by a whole 50k!

Like I said earlier, am putting this out here for others to learn from my experience. Most of these Lagos mechnics are armed robbers and thieves! Please Nairalanders, always use your hand and do some research. Do not allow petty mechanics to rip you off. That they know a thing or two about the computronics of cars does not make them to be better than those without formal education. Ask questions always and look for other alternatives.

Most of these so called mechanics we look down as road sides or Kazeems are actually better than the so called experts. The so called experts will use packaging and rip you off your hard earned cash. If not that I was willing to step out and ask questions, I would have been boxed into a corner by this huge ripoff called Gazzuzz.

N.B
To those who hero worship him always, have you ever wondered if he really gives a fvck about you or just sees you another cash cow that vomits money for him? Have you taken your time to research on what he sells to you and there validity? Or just because he can speak English and knows one or two about car computronics, every other person is a Kazeem like he paints them? If were to go by his logic, how come a so called Kazeem saved me from his daylight robbery?

julietromeo:
Hope u re done with the 3 trips now....

Epphy:
Naa, he doesn't. He answered an old question today

LCWind:
I earn pretty good money in this business but I can't pretend that all is well just bcoz I want to mind my business
which is the very mentality that has kept Nigeria where it is today. The FAHRENZ mentality.
" the I don't give a Bleep to the ills in the system provided I'm still navigating my way to comfort"

forgetting that if we all come together and challenge the ills, everyone wins and everyone navigates to that same comfort with less stress.

chucsmoore:
Low Rating and High cancellation on riders end should be d major concern, that could force d car out of business except d interior well pimped

dru23:
If this is ugly , I wonder what your definition of pretty is

dru23:
You call it ugly .. I call smart business decisions...

dru23:
Not a civic 03 to 05 .. That car should be the official car for uber ..

Owoado:
Bro you need to chill. There is nothing wrong with posting earnings, he has the right to post what he wants on this public forum provided it is not offensive.

I have been in ehailing for a long time now and personally I don't mind new partners/drivers coming in.

There are strategies to meet targets in this business, focus on that

Cheers bro

franksam2009:
bro is it with same car or the former didn't make it,. How long did the former car last with constant driving?

Gentlelife50:
Bros u are making sense, he's just starting

LCWind:
I'm done arguing with a closed mind

GAZZUZZ:
I have followed this thread for a long time, I have seen hardworking drivers like you, sadly same thing happens over and over to all of them, they burn out! Take it slow sir it will benefit you long term.

coalcoal1:
i really don't see any big deal about posting earnings here. It depends on how you look at it. To me, it's a form of encouragement, letting others know that they can strategize and put in more effort to make more money. The sky is big enough for all birds to fly without obstructing another's right of way

LCWind:
Then post number of trips you did in refute

ifyeez:
Thank you brother, that's why I ignored his comment, I said I won't continue with that topic again,
less discuss Uber/Taxify only

LCWind:
We should ban posting of earnings in this thread. I made more than 200k in December last year but you will never see a screenshot of it here or in any of the whatsapp/telegram groups I belong. You don't see bankers, engrs, CEOs or companies etc posting their earnings online, why ? coz it's no man's business. So Why must you post your earnings when you're not a public servant.

franksam2009:
anybody who post earnings here will get a one month ban,. I repeat one month ban for anybody who post earnings here

Osisie:
My name is Samuel Olabayo.

I need a car for weekly rental.
I'm actually looking forward to a long term mutually benefiting work relationship, as long as the car is sound enough.

There's enough experience under my belt.

16yrs ago, your papa had to look for somewhere to put his d*ck. As a result of that, you crawled out of somewhere nine months later. Don't be silly, my boy. One way or the other, every man needs where to put his prick.

Vicyace:
Well, it appears that Taxify riders in Ibadan are on strike.
No more requests.
