I really didnt want to say anything about mayor before now, but I can independently and confidently say that most of what the op has said is true.

I'm a medical doctor living in festac, hardly have time. I has the option of going to either honmusa at Gbagada or Mayor at Igando. Honestly there was nothing wrong with my car. It was a 3 month used from Tokunbo 2002 accord 4 cylinder. The only issue I had was the fuel economy of this 4cylinder was exactly like the 2001 accord v6 I had earlier (a car that had done 9 years in naija ). Honestly I wasn't getting poor mileage I only felt this should be a little better.

I drove to mayor's place September 2017 with my friend who is a kazeem. Hmmmmmm. He messed up my car.

Said he wanted to do a 'tuneup' in his words. Spent the whole day there doing a tuneup. At the end he and his boys could not couple back my car engine well. The car kept vibrating so violently. I had to leave there at 8pm with the car like that. This was a car that I drove to the island and then to igando with ac, no vibrations. He sold me some stupid brand new Bosch plugs for 12k in total. With these new plugs I drove back to festac that night and my car consumed a quarter tank for a distance of about 15miles (I drove 80 miles from half tank to 1/4 tank on my previous plugs which he condemned during the tuneup). Then after 22k spent for a tune up, I had my car vibrating like a tractor engine and using up a quarter tank for 15miles without traffic.

It took my kazeem to reassemble my car engine properly to stop the vibrations and then I changed the 12k plugs back to simple platinum tipped Tokunbo plugs (2,500 for 4) to get my fuel economy back to where it should be.

I won't have narrated all these if mayor had a good attitude, he actually at 7pm wanted to leave me and my car with his boys at his workshop even when the car was refusing to start.

Honestly it's a pity. I've spoken to Gazzuzz only 3 times without ever meeting him, and he solved my issues with just a bit of advice on all occasions.

Mayor clean up your act. My piece
Yes I remembered your car very well. You came in with your car stating you had a poor gas mileage. Car was scanned and an 02 Sensor code came up. 02 sensor wasn't readily available and I adviced you did a decarbonization and ultrasonic cleaning of injectors since you complained of high fuel consumption but I actually put a clause stating the 02 sensor problem and which you agreed to by saying you were going to fix at your own convinient time. I actually apologized for leaving out your job that day owing to the fact that there were pressing issues to attend to. I explained this to you thinking you understood that. If your car truly didn't work well as said I owe responsibility to this. But for a better way you could have communicated through to me and I would have personally made a much more better arrangement to have the car rechecked by me. All job done was rounded up by 8pm which was 3hrs late from close of work(5pm). I owe responsibility to this.

I doubt mayors ability at times.

1st was his inability and inexperience to understand that some Camry and Lexus usually experienced some delays on their transmission.Kashif had to school him thoroughly on this.

On the Lexus Is350 thread he created where he bought a wrong engine for same vehicle

Same with how he started his BMW,Jaguar and Chrysler thread and none of them have been completed.Wondering why he is creating this threads without conclusion.

We have learnt a lot from Kashif,GaZzuz,sooperescue,Kingerin and Others
I still haven't seen or noticed any of this on Camry.i recently fixed a transmission on Lexus es330 2005 which shares same transmission with a Camry and a RX330 and I noticed nothing about what you expect me to take hook line and sinker. Until I personally observe this there is no need for lengthy talks about this. but no need deviating from main topic. Jaguar, BMW have all been fixed if u followed the thread on the bmw. A nairalander came to my workshop last year and saw the Jaguar. Its been discharged a long time ago working well. It happens to be a close friend's car for sale and he couldn't sell it that way.hence the reason for the fix. As for the BMW it's been fixed and all is working fine. As for chyrsler 300c owner had to ask us to pause basically because of financial constraints. I took it upon my self to have all problems fixed. I had to stop posting when owner never disclosed so many underlying problems associated with vehicle. This year we found out water had earlier entered transmission. I was surprised because car had been resting and had been parked a long while ago. Any one who had recently come to my garage who had seen it. If you wish to help out with the financial aspect why not indicate. I hope this helps you. Cheers

dumo1:
Please sir quench my curiosity, why remove only the negative terminal and not both battery terminals?
Uncessary removal of both terminals is a dangerous practice. Some ECU/ modules without the voltage protection device (zener diodes) could get messed up. In some BMW battery would need to be registered to have the car start.

Car TalkRe: Advice Me On My Peugeot Electrical Issue by mayor2013: 1:36pm On Apr 21, 2018
You would soon change your car. What happens to proper diagnosis. What was the actual problem of the car before work was done which stareted to burn coils off. Or was that the car's problem from scratch. U can invest 500k and still not have that car fixed the proper way.

Diagnosis first to nail culprit.

No one would do any rear alignment on Honda Accord 05. Have all your rear suspension bushings inspected first. If all checks fine inspect your rear cross member beam .hope its not bent
Car TalkRe: . by mayor2013:
A simple idle relearn with a professional scan tool could have helped if all was ok. But mind you there are conditions to be met for this to work. Your ride must get to an optimum temperature for you to achieve this meaning thermostat must be intact. But just a minute of what importance is this if AC compressor has been changed to that of a Peugeot grin

So i should have changed the full compressor when it showed that the compressor oil seal was leaking lol. Funny u
Yes in some cases you might need to. This same case of yours was what let to the damage of a Dodge Caliber 2007. A Nissan Altima was brought to me to work on and he told me of how a wire was looped from an ocv circuit causing a serious disaster

Most mechanics are kazeems bro. Abi you wan make i go infiniti center at victoria island? My idle rpm is about 550 to 650 on idle. I serviced the compressor not too long ago.
You took your car to a quack and you are here crying a wolf's cry. Count your loss and move on and stop complaining about what damage has been done. Next time look for a professional to have your car fixed accurately. Good luck

vertueptime:
Locate the idle control valve on d injector, remove the socket, use appropriate screw (some allen key) to remove it, buy injector cleaner N500, spray it and alow it to dry, also spray the hole into the injector, put it back in and its done, thank me later,
Do this at your risk
