Car Talk / Re: What Is a "scam" in auto repair? by Frankdamaxx(m): 5:37pm On Jan 14, 2019

Follow up questions
1) how much do you think the average mechanic makes?
2) how many repairs do you think the average mechanic does a month?

To answer this question, look at it from this angle.

The truth is that we are experiencing a shift from the traditional/Local mechanic structure to More modern structures.

Then, being a Mechanic was for never do wells and drop outs. Now, Even Masters Degree holders are Mechanics now with modern workshop and tools. For someone who has patronised local Mechanics for years paying 1k to service his car now having to pay the modern mechanic up to 10k for the same service takes some getting used to.

As people buy modern cars, they switch to the modern mechanics. The average year of production for most cars on the road are between 2000 to 2010.

As Cars become more advanced technologically edging out local mechanics, then people will be more comfortable adjusting to prices.

So I log on today and there a LOT of mud-slinging about pricing!! My question is a simple one.:

1) what percentage profit do you think it is fair for a mechanic/parts seller to make on parts?

2) how much do you think it is fair for a mechanic to make on labor?

I'll go one step further. Assume the part cost the seller and/or mechanic N1,000.

The issue of billing and profit percentage is very dicey.

The capitalist are of the opinion of charge as much as you can get on the product.

The socialist cares about the consumer getting a better deal.

The moralist will want a win win situation for the consumer and seller.

The question is what is your philosophy on business?

When we complain about someone else's high price we forget that we are also charging a high price for what we sell.

But price should also be looked at in terms of product offering. Like someone said, why is Iya Gazzuzz chicken KFC chicken more expensive than Iya kazeema's chicken?

Bros, Wow.
I just saw this thread today, 9th Jan.
big Wow.

I explained to you the day I was to bring the charger. Because of you I drove all the way from magodo to surulere to drop charger for you, but somehow events happened and I forgot to drop it, explained to you and promised to bring it for you another day as soon I as was able to.

You said I stopped picking your calls, You called me and I told I was driving you cut and called me again, I didn't pick. You kept calling then you sent me a threatining message.

This Is a phone you pleaded with me to reduce price which I did, drove all the way from magodo to surulere and never for once complained to you about the distance and fuel to get the charger to you.

You said "but you have proven yourself a dishonest and bad business man" bros all tru this i carried you all along na, Pleaded with you, called you, explained to you that I forgot to drop this cable, I talked with u all tru and carried you along till you threatened me.

I still gave you a cord that came with one of the phones I got from usa and you said it was ordinary 200naira cord.

All I can say is it is well with you and may someone not tarnish your law career or name over something like this.

This your reply doesn't cut it. It's not by force to do business and you are not doing anybody a favour. If you can't stick to an agreement, you are fraudulent. If you like enter plane to Dubai to drop the charger. It's your fault you didn't carry it and the OP paid for it.

I am sure you know there are delivery bikes that can deliver from Magodo to surulere for around 1k.

Give the OP what he paid for and stop making excuses. Well, unless you don't have it which brings us back to what the OP said you were.

Car Talk / Re: Between A 2013 E350 RWD And The 4matic Which Is Better by Frankdamaxx(m): 3:45am On Dec 07, 2018
bishopkay:
Please guys I need help making a decision. So I saw this E350 and I liked it but the drive train is the RWD version.

I particularly like the 4matic drive train since it's an AWD and has better braking capabilities but right now, I'm not seeing any good 4matics and I really like this one I saw. Now the question is

1. Is the drive experience really different?
2. How's the overall performance of both in terms of reliability and performance.
3. Is the braking capacity of the RWD that good or make person just forget am find the 4matic buy.
4. I heard the 4matics are more prone to faults than the RWDS; how true is this?

Thanks and anyone with on hands experience or has tested both should please help me out thanks!

If you have money, go for 4matic.

If you don't have much money, go for rwd.

Obviously you're ignorant. And this is the last comment I'll dignify you with. This faceless forum give a lot of urchins the confidence to talk to anyone... Get this into your thick skull, this is Corolla Sports, not just Corolla. And as I said earlier you know better than the manufacturer, SMH.

The way you bolded the sports, one would think the sports is different from the other variant.

Oh cool I forgot, it has a different body kit with rear spoilers and a different speedometer cluster.

and not actually horsepower or torque or lighter wheels or lighter materials or bucket seats or better exhaust. grin

Car Talk / Re: China Makes Zotye T900, A Replica Of The Range Rover Sport - Photos by Frankdamaxx(m): 8:11pm On Nov 18, 2018
AutoReportNG:
When you thought you have seen it all, China kept spinning up surprises. This time around, China auto designers have gone an extra mile to copy and make a replica of Range Rover Sport.

This is not a Range Rover Sport. This is a Zotye T900 from China. Zotye is our favorite copycat brand. They copied the Macan and its prototype, they copied Mazda too and now they are also Ford’s friend. This time around, they have stepped up their game by going for Range Rover Sport.

Let's get a bit into the design mechanism, The proportions are exactly the same so also is the size which seems to be the same as well. Zotye hasn’t released any specifications yet, but on their earlier clones, they stayed very close to the originals’ size.

Going by the car's specifications, the car seems most similar to the patent drawings we saw earlier on, but with some minor adjustments. The car’s name is expected to be Zotye T900. The codename is L10. Power will come from a 2.0 turbo with 230 hp and 350 Nm, mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

The interior is somewhat more unique having a blend of Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Range Rover.

Interestingly, the touch screen shows the instrument panel and the touchscreen. Materials look rather nice, wood and leather very classy. Recent Zotye’s all have decent looking interiors, they have made a lot of progress there in recent years.

The Zotye T900 is expected to launch on the Chinese car market in early 2019. Price will start around 170.000 yuan or $23,400 which is 8.5million naira. For comparison, Range Rover Sport starts at 1.02 million yuan, and that’s $149,000 when converted to naira is 54.2million naira
