Felicity, you dey house? I dey your area since.

Lol... Why you no call my number? Me just enter house not quite long and just finished washing my car against tomorrow work.

Blackbishop:
I wonder why people belittle or condemn what they don't know. Naija no good na bad mechanic dey, if you get bad mechanic na your personality attract bad ones. Just simple physics.

There is this simple rule "Never force people not meant to be in your life in" negativity kills most of you. Possible lies in impossible so why condemn naija mechanic all to pass info here. Mechanic no good, car users na error too.

See anybody wey wan import mech come from yankee pls go ahead and stop shaming the good ones here.

Pass your info and move along, do you want me to go into details of what we Auto Tech face daily from car users, from over sabi to am enlightened.

Naso one good idiot believes watching how to fix airbag on YouTube makes him a guru till the spring fails and busted his nose or the slowpoke that thinks wiring was a piece of cake till he fumble and burn his ECU or the nigga that fixes his oil change and fail to place the rubber seal of the oil filter and thought he has done a perfect job till he was about to leave his compound and people called his attention to oil leaking underneath his car.

Respect all profession no matter what. Am not perfect am only trying to be the best. I make mistakes but learn and correct it.

Don't mind them... Na bad belle people.

I always say, "a person who always pin point faults in everybody he works with or relates with is tje one a with problem".

How possible it is that even with how talented and hardworking Nigerians are, yet we dont/won't have one, just 1 good and competent mechanic that have at least 70% knowledge on electric cars. Is that possible?
And all our mechanics are bad. Lies!

I know a few good people, not everybody is bad.

kanuisagoat:
I'll tell you the same thing Izzou told me, you'll figure it out yourself. It's pretty straightforward

The only reason you haven't is because you still have good ratings. When your ratings drop and you're on the verge of being blocked , you'll figure it out.

Be like una don dey kolo...

Come don't play with me oooh better start talking now b4 I change my mind

hvac:
Got another mechanic that said the other mechanic fixed fake/bad pump, confused at the moment

Have you been able to resolve the problem? This sounds like a bad fuel pump.

That was how my frustrated the he'll outta me... Once ive driven some distance and car gets hot it jerks and goes off.

Try another fuel pump.

brogxy:
Inside the exhaust will be oily.

Man wey sabi...

If you fire the engine hard go to the exhaust and touch it with any fonger if you notice black oily stains on your finger tip then know that engine is gradually shorting oil and dying off.

Please any hybrid use in the house mbok?

I need some one to debunk dru24 of his doubt about it in Nigerian roads. If Uber guys they use hybrid in US without no issues like that why can’t we.

Fuel is becoming expensive cos am very sure sey DEMDEM fit still increase price soon, wen dem see sey we Nigerian are getting comfortable with the current price boom e don skyrocket.

I see the hybrid everywhere in lagos now.

My guy if your mind carry am go for it. An average Nigerian is wired with a tough skin to counter and conquer almost every challenge thrown at him.

I love that our mentality that says, "when we get to the river we'll cross it". Me I knon weather I sabi swim or or weather live jacket dey or boat self all I know is I'll cross the river.

Worst case scenario you sell your wahala(the car) to next user.

Owners are selling even normal cars.
Owners are still complaining of mechanics on normal cars

Baba wahala no dey finish abeg... And it will never finish driving normal cars.

My 2 cent.

Rule No1: Never ever trust a Nigeria woman with time.
abi you don forget that adage men always say, if you're going out for a party with your wife tell her to start her make up the previous day. Man go go hustle come back, enter bathing room, dress up. Eat still go seatdon for motor dey wait for the woman who have been at home doing virtually nothing to come meet him in the car.

Bros na dat kind women u bliv "2min" U go old.

Tempting actually, but keeping dis at home is risky and I can't take it to police station.

I will patiently wait for d call, but after 1 or 2months if no call, I am sorry ooo, that's my own ooo

Hahaha

I am just honest here

Guys things dey happen oooh not joking here...

peep4u pls help me with that Fashola's quote

"may our loyalty and honesty not be tested."

Only Jesus Christ can survive this kind of temptation ooh I swear.

Best thing I'll do first is never to allow my mother or wife know about it, if not na "oboy u don return dat money?" them go use kill me b4 day breaks

Pearl1910:
Omo I drive reserve o... Sometimes its because I never reach my preferred fuel station or unexpected long distance trip in the night but most times mehn...na because that fuel money they pain to comot...man go feel like to use breeze or water to they drive around

your head is there.


Meanwhile guys, what would you do if you find this on your car the next morning and no one has called to lay claim? You'd even noticed it haz been lying in the trunk for like 2nights. What would you do?

Be honest guys.

pope191:
memory sticks cos I have someone that felt cool for having the rain drained him and saw it as a blessing, but never get to complete that year.

Eya! May his soul ripp! Sorry bro.

pope191:
He said 3 to 5k, why u stingy like dis this is 2021 o

Lol... Bros you never hear the preaching? Save for raining days how do you do that without being stingy??

Duke111:
Tesla We no get light for my adugbo like 2 days now

Hahahahaha.... Guy u finish my rip

peeps4u:
Unless such civic is problematic, there is no way civic will consume more fuel than accord.

On highway the accord will conserve more than the civic. The guy is actually right with his analogy.

It's official WINTER IS HERE.

brace up brethren for this season will be long.

emmancecute:
I'm a veteran in this hustle and I know how this thing works. I know the accord consumes more than the civic but just wanted to point out the error in felicity001 statement. I doubt you can make 35k on a 7k fuel without surge. With the current pricing, you can't make more than x3 or x4 at most of the fuel bought.

Me now looking at my post for possible mistakes.

Bros abeg help because na sleep eyes I take type am I.

Pearl1910:
No exaggerations Sir, here are a few facts:-

On a corolla 03 n above, 1k fuel can take you from Oshodi to Lekki Phase 1 and back with Ac.

Civic 03-07 saves more fuel than its Accord counterpart.

On a sound Corolla 03 n above you can make 35k Earnings minimum with 7k fuel, without surge. Normal dead driving o, not going from mainland to island to look for trip.

If your corollas can't do 30k with 7k fuel then u either drive long distances without passenger or your car is not in optimum performance.
Also check your driving attitude, accelerating and /or braking sharply and speeding excessively consumes more fuel than normal.

God bless you for these facts...

Make e no be like say felicity0001 too sabi...

Another fact is, even that car that guy posted is even more economical in fuel when compared to the 03 model.

e get why I say make dey guy drive the car for long distance b4 concluding to buy... e get y.

radautoworks:
Na fuel pump you just dey play with anyhow

Pearl1910:
Chai...you be aka gum To be driving on reserve like this even for lag-benin express road

It happens sometimes especially when you don't have cash on you.

Most fuel stations on the highway don't have POS and sometimes you could think you will see a fuel station in 1-3km only for you not to find any.

Pearl1910 you won tell me say you never drive on reserves ever

Dovehorizon:
Lolz, you missed what I was trying to point out. if you know you wanna do such distance (oshodi-lekki phase1 and then back to your destination as u have said) then be magnanimous enough to buy atleast 3-5k fuel then check ur readings via the dashboard than the 1k you cited .

No b lie shall... Though my 1k was just being sarcastic shall... 2k should do

Dreadlock69:

Culturale kill you dia

emmancecute:
is it safe to say the civic consumes more than the accord? 1k fuel to n fro oshodi to lekki phase 1 on AC? Bros fuel is now 164# ooooo. I remembered during my early days, i met a guy who told me his corolla would do about 40k on a 7k full tank. Me I kept wondering why the different corollas have used wouldn't even do 30k. Little did I know that uncle was using salt n pepper. Let's stop exagerating things.

I may be wrong though, but mind you I didn't say 1k fuel will do the distance to and fro I only said buy fuel 1k;[/b]D e get why.

As for the 7k to gross 40k. The bros may be right considering that fuel was cheaper then since you said "[b]during your early days"

Your driving pattern and his can never be the same and also no two drivers can have the same mode of operation daily. Short distance trips can be very wasting most times.

Button line, I'm not exaggerating but talking outta experience. I've used most of these cars in questions

Nerd89:
A toyota camry 05/06 & 04 are available for rent/hp.Interested driver must reside @Ikorodu, Ketu or Mile 12.

Send me a DM i will respond

There is an anonymous and pen friend that has been on my neck for a car... Would you mind sending your contact? He lives in Ikorodu.

pope191:
Not the first time boss, can vividly remember same happened in 2000

You're indeed an old man... Only old people have good memories like this.

Dovehorizon:
1k fuel, from oshodi to lekki phase 1.... its alright

Boss if that 1k no carry them come back with the AC on oooh then something is not right with the combustion system.

The honda civic can go an average of 44miles with a reserve tank.

Honda accord can do an average of 46miles on reserve.

I don't just speak without experience... I've done Akure to Benin on a reserve tank... That day I understood the real meaning of "heart in once mouth". But without AC ooh. That was when I knew how far reserve can go on a civic.

Also, I've done about 25km on a V6 Honda Accord as well on Ore-Benin Exp b4 I could refill my reserve tank.

Yes, just remembered another... Corolla 2003 model I did reserve tank from Ajah bridge to Abule egba. 11:35pm, O2 sensor on the car was even bad at the time.

Pearl1910:
Even toks no get guarantee, I have bought a toks that engine knocked within Mile2 coming from Apapa.

If body and interior is good, then that price is good. Worst come to worst keep 200k for any unforseen repair/replacement and with 1million u have a quality, reliable car for e-hailing. I can bet that car is no longer available. Except it doesn't start

The car im using currently the engine was changed after two weeks of purchased. Car was bought tok. Owner to car to IB car drank 10ltrs of Mobil oil b4 they could return to Lagos next day..

When it comes to automobile nothing is guaranteed.

peeps4u:
Good for telling to go with enough money to buy fuel for proper long distance test driving.

Ha! My brother that's the best way to know if a car is a lemon or not oooh.

Let me share an experience.

Late 2019 when I was waiting for my former partner to get his car ready (wow! How times fly)... I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket.... So I got somebody here who wanted to invest within 1.2-1.3m on a HP... To cut it short... We saw a biggy just about 3/4 months old registered. Buyer/prospective partner said I should test drive and if I'm okay he'll proceed with payment instantly.

Seller only permitted me to test drive within his neighbourhood of less than 1-2km.

At least I've used cars for many years, how on earth do you expect me to rush and pay for a car without doing a proper check. I quickly sent a text to my oga to thwart the deal and that was the end of it.

When I was selling my car to a dealer you needed to see the process the dealer took before even agreeing to buy the car, like I was begging him to buy... That day I learnt how to know if an engine is smoking or shorting oil.

I's haf sin tins.

confusedworld17:
Just let those Danfo, Korepe and Keke carry their wahala go... Most times self, it doesn't take more than 5 seconds of patience.

We also have to understand the way those guys reason. They want to meet their daily target, thereby trying to overtake any how in order to get to the next bus stop to pick up any available passengers before the danfo behind or ahead of them.

They also want to make up the money wey agbero dey collect from them at almost every bust stop.

Not justifying their actions, but the frustration and the stress dey too much for their head.
Best way na try to avoid hem.

Absolutely true.

Me i see them as mad people so no need having confrontations with them whatsoever.

The first week or thereabout I picked up my formal car I was on my way home one night, coming down from tje interchange at iyana ipaja to join the expr towards pleasure this danfo was parked just at outlet to the road loading passenger without even minding weather I was behind horning. I could hear how my horn was fading away... I didn't want to risk coming down since it was almost 10pm.

Ok, let me see if I could manage the little space to go out for where? Can't pass through. Just as I was struggling and couldn't I kukuma say make I go back then wait till he leaves. Just before I could do that the fool decide to clear and you know how manual cars operate especially on a slop.

The reverse effect cause me what I've on picture below.

Funny thing, I was wearing a white T-Shirt couple with the color of my car... Come see begging... Officer pls!!!.. See where Old man dey beg small pikin... I made sure all of his passengers left that night before I free the old fool.


Those guys frustrate the hell outta somebody.

InfinityEstates:
1. Let's carry out an experiment. Try declining or cancel 5 - 7 trips without waiting for the 5mins. Let's see if it would affect the rating.

2. If you worked yesterday, check if the bonus would show.

1) Bros lets not dwell too much on this cancellation has nothing to do with your rating but only your activity score. Experiment it by sitting at home one full day and cancel all request you receive then see how yiur activity score reduces by 1% per cancel.

OmodavidoX:
Advise needed , please is the Honda below good and reliable for Uber. It is a 9ja used car which I am planning to get for 800k

PS: I am not the owner of the car, it was posted for sale in the auto section

Its one of my top 3 cars for the hustle. This is what you should do.

Get a friend or relative that has been using a car for the past 4yrs.

To the seller, tell him you want to test drive the car for a long distance with him and your person.

Buy fuel 1k then drive the car from e.g oshodi to Lekki ph1 then turn back to your destination.

If car is good you would have noticed the major problem in your journey to and fro.

If seller refuses to your proposal pls japa.

Good luck.

Gentlelife50:
Bros he is somehow right, this guy have been a nuisance on this thread behaving anyhow he likes.

Almost everybody seems to be scared of him, yes nobody bother to caution him.

Scared? Well, its good you used the word "almost" anf not "everybody".

I've decided never to be involve in any comment regarding the nuisance fleet manager... With the recent revelation by blackbishop I can now understand reasons to his frustration in life and to why he hates successful people. I only pity those that mingle with him and have him as friends because their lives must have had a twist alongside.

Fleet manager... No wonder why he charges 35-45k for weekly rental. Off course he has make something for himself then remits probably 15/20k to owner.

Importer: Audio... His divine helper is the real importer and I believe lack of proper management, lies and deceit is what crippled the business.

Rascal behavior: What more is expected from a bastard child that was raised in a ghetto under a severe and acute condition. But thank goodness for the good Samaritan who helped us to save him from criminality to divine light.

Many a times I've read where he even pours out his frustrations on pastors and churches... I believe he's a follower of D'Freeze... Pastor Chris. just warned his followers recently again never to criticize men of God or kick against the Church...

What is happening to some people is a result of what they've done with their mouths and I believe that is what is affecting this guy in question. My only prayer for him is for God to send him salvation. There is still time to change and make a turn from wrong doings.

May 2021 be good for us all.

Egyptian4real:
