@modupemomo, what you have at Renmoney and MMF are not the same product. You can't compare them.

MMF is a mutual fund whose performance is determined by the underlying assets; the rate is valued daily, unlike a fixed deposit.

Creditalerts:
I calculated Renmoney offer it doesn't correspond with its percentage offer and MMF is better (my opinion though but u can check it out) my take is the best three performers on MMF are trustbanc, FirstAlly and Norrenberger diversify your investment but me I moved my fund to FirstAlly and I'm enjoying their rate

Beeron:
Don't you think it's time to diversify your investments?

At this point, Ditch the idea of Stanbic being your "FAV", you in the market to make money, the forces that move the market doesn't care one bit about your fav.

If Stanbic is currently at 15%, what do you think will happen if by next month, Interest rate get cut and rates even go lower?


Split your funds and position yourself strategically, leave sentiments such as my "fav", my point is move some money into cowrywise to invest in Trustbanc or go for FirstAlly.

Creditalerts:
Hmmm just compare stanbic 15.51 and trustbanc 18.03 or FirstAlly 18.00 and you invested 50,000000
Do the mathematics of gain and losses monthly 🤔
No emotional sentiment here u go cry 😂

Ofejiro20:
Good evening chiefs. Please these are conservative mutual funds on cowrywise and that trustbanc money market fund seems to have the highest rates. I'd appreciate your input if it is safe to invest with them through the cowrywise platform?

Hello Nairalanders,

I need your advice. So I'm a lady and when I wanted to get my Lexus in 2021, I did extensive research on a honest mechanic as I have been on Nairaland since 2012. I found a mechy here on Nairaland. A lovely human being. I have recently learnt that he is no more. I don cry tire because this man made my life so easy. He has gone to a better place.


I never give my car to anyone but him. He would always confirm what was intact or needed replacement.

I couldnt get his services in March and went to a mechanic in Magodo, that was the only time my car spent time in another autoshop.

This July, I went to my former Honest Mechy's Garage as his wife said it was fine but he was incapacitated then, his boys attended to me. I noticed that his boys took over 7 hours to fix brake pads and servicing. I had many lights on my dashboard before taking it to them. When I got the car back, the lights had gone but they all came back the next day. (Vsc, Afs, check engine, skid or so and more).


Fast forward to this September, the legs of the car was making some noises and the check engine light still there, took it to my estate mechanic, that one changed shock absorber but the noise persisted. Took it back to him, he said it was linkage, he changed it. Then said I should do wheel alignment but I decided to go back to the Magodo mechy.

Yesterday, the Magodo mech said it was my car hub and a dispense error didnt let him fix it as he didnt see my payment. When I went to pick the car, this Magodo one told me my CATALYST WAS MISSING that it had recently been removed and the person that did it was such an expert that they used mud and sand to cover up the bolts.

I am miffed Oloun. I am so pissed because I pay for what these men demand.

So now, i'm at a diagnostics center to know the full details of errors and absence of parts.

Those who have touched the car after my Mechanic was busy then indisposed:

1. MARCH 2024 - Magodo Mechanic : Fixed gasket, Problem with water in radiator going down and touched engine. Spent time with the car.

2. JULY 2024 - Dearly departed mechanic's boys (: Spent 7 hours for servicing and brake pads) Their boss would do just about 4 hours for more extensive work and the car would be like new.

3. SEPTEMBER 2024 - Estate mechanic fixed shock absorber and linkage because of car leg noises but no real solution. Car leg is still releasing albums.

4. SEPTEMBER 2024- Magodo Mechanic again - Tried to fix car leg and noticed Catalyst has been stolen. Insists it is a recent job and I need to take quick action.

4. PANEL BEATER - This one touches up my car whenever there is body work issue or minor stuff. He does not do much but I hear that they are culpable as well. He is presently with me at the diagnostic shop and got quite a bit defensive after I mentioned problems with the car and he is among the infamous 4 people that I have left the car with. He also said the catalyst is still intact as the bolts look old. I dont believe him.


I am not good at suspecting people, I hate it because I myself am very trustworthy and always pray to God that I only encounter similar people but it is what it is. I am tired. It may be difficult to ascertain who the culprit could be from all the stupid love letter I have written here.

I will follow up with result from the diagnostics but please help me with what you think may have happened.

The unfortunate act was committed between March and September and these are the only people I have allowed to touch the car, funny enough to avoid issues like this.

Please help as one cannot be thinking of buying car in this economy. I pay these mechys what they ask, I dont even price thinking God will use them. I have spent soooo much and still spending as we speak.

I have attached a picture of my car as it is right now at the diagnostics shop.

I found my wonderful mechanic here on Nairaland and I know that the good people here can help me out.

God bless you as you help out.

easytig:
Rule one,never leave your vehicle with mechanic in their workshop and go away.the devil will tempt dem to do and undo.
It's better to park it in your house and get dem to do home service to be safe.
Pilfering of parts will be minimal.
Maybe you should have come here to request for decent mechanics.you will definitely get good referrals.
Get it scanned and post codes here.
Be careful before those ruthless mechanics open office on your head.

RIP GAZZUZZ, GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL...

oladipuposadeeq:
that's why I suspected the magodo mechanic because you will have to wait for the vehicle to cool down very well before you change the top gasket though none of them is innocent until proven but my main suspect is the magodo mechanic still.

RealityKings:
Either but just be careful next time about leaving your vehicle at any shop

Bazztadewu:
A catalyst can be stolen within 7hours and not under 30minutes it can be stolen if car sleeps there over night.u cannot steal catalyst when exhaust is still hot and steaming,u cannot steal catalyst under 5mins..engine must cool down and under of car must cold small.if not the thief go burn him skin

RealityKings:
The person that took it probably the mech who repaired it before it started the strange noise

nurey:
Your fear is not complete nah. They removed the Catalyst how?

1. what code is showing they removed the catalyst

2. did they weld a straight pipe to replace the catalyst?

3. what sign did he see that he was sure they removed the vehicle catalyst.

They used mud and sand to cover bolt, nah that be the reason they removed catalyst? the mechanic nah clown

oladipuposadeeq:
First things first, the magodo mechanic that fixed your top gasket is my sole suspect then other suspect would come in play. And again was all the catalyst stolen or its just the one behind the engine because that car shld use 2 or 3 catalyst. One close to the engine one in the middle and one behind if I am right. My car uses 4 catalyst and they've been stolen also I just take heart because I wanted to go round my painter & panel up when it got stolen but after people from their workplace persuaded me not to. Since then I haven't taken my car there for any work. My catalyst now is 550k 😪
