Did you just make this complaint? Or was it a typo?

Your whole initial submission on this thread is actually built on the fact you want some group of people brought down, is this reverse psychology you're trying to apply here? Making yourself out to be the victim instead?

AutoConsult:
I understand you trust your mechanic. You feel he'll get the best possible vehicle for you. That's very possible, but it's also very unlikely.

Hello there, my name is Tony. I'm an Automotive Mechatronics Consultant(vehicle consultant), and I'm the CEO of AutoConsult International. We offer services like Auto Purchase, Auto Inspection, Auto Diagnostics, Auto Consultancy and Auto Delivery. We deliver vehicles to select states across Nigeria. Contact for more enquiries.

In this short article, I'll highlight three reasons you can't completely trust your mechanic when purchasing a vehicle.

1. Oversight

It happens to the best. A mechanic is an authority in his field. He feels he knows virtually everything. He could get so confident, he won't bother probing some things on the vehicle. Mere looking at them, he'll assume they are fine.

This is where a vehicle diagnostics professional comes in. He's more detailed. He pays attention to every tiny detail on the vehicle. He's got a top drawer accuracy in his assessment. He leaves no stone unturned. Now that looks more like someone I'll want inspecting a vehicle for me.

2. Nonchalance

I'm a professional Mechanic. Sometimes I choose not to fix my own vehicle myself. I'll shy away from getting my hands soiled, and I don't even like all the heavy lifting and all. So trust me, I know how local mechanics handle vehicles. Surely it can't be only me that experience this thing; you take your vehicle to a mechanic, he removes 10 bolts and returns 7 there after repair. Mmmmm....it still happened yesterday yea? grin Yea, that's the way they are, that nonchallant attitude all the time. It can be very annoying. You see why you need a professional vehicle inspector?

A lot of time, your mechanic says; this one doesn't matter, that one doesn't matter. A mechanic once told me the stabilizer linkage on my car has no work it's doing, I should remove it. Can you imagine that? 😂😂 Funny guyz. Dear reader, get you a professional like Tony that'll ensure you get the best value for your money.

3. Familiarity

This is the worst of them all. How many times do we see this?! You take a mechanic to go inspect a vehicle, he quickly make friends with the seller, he signals the seller and the seller gets the message. Bro, you are in trouble. He's been compromised. You'll pay him for the job he has done, and he still gets some reward from the seller from behind if the deal goes through. It's sad but it's the reality.

Well the good news is; you can beat this. We at AutoConsult International have got you covered. All you need to do is contact us via any of our channels. I assure you, we will help you get the best value for your money.

See you soon.

Check my signature for contact details
Bollocks!!!
So I shouldn't trust my own mechanic but I can trust you.
All points you listed are trash sir.
You cannot assume my mechanic will be non-chalant and overlook some key details.
If that's the case, you too cannot be trusted because you can be a victim of all 3 listed.
In a nutshell, market yourself without bringing down others in the process.

Car Talk / Re: Why Are People Claiming 2013-2017 Honda Accord Is Expensive To Maintain by olumzzz(m): 4:22am On Mar 21, 2023
The car is pretty reliable so maybe the feedback you're getting is for body parts.
If that's the case, you can comprehensively insure it so that cost of body parts won't be on you

It depends on what you want in a car.. If you like speed with good handling then Benz.. Always you can get the option of 4matic..

For normal driving and safer side on reliability then go with Es350

Avalon is almost the same as es350, it's close substitute to es350..

Go for Avalon if you want reliability but not top tech as Es350 also fund wise.. Avalon will be cheaper abit
Uncle do you the lexus and avalon are actually faster than that c300?

There might be a speed limiter. Good for me when I decide to get a driver. Even when it down shifted it would not go past 120 kph.

Yesterday, I drove to Epe from Oshodi. I went via Lagos Ibadan expressway.
The Pajero prior to being owned by me averages 500 km per month. The last 2 years as per the owner was spent on the island.
I have put over 500 km in the short time I owned it. The ride is smooth. Would get to 100 without an effort. Refused to go past 120. Lots of noise but no progress. Ride on the Sagamu Benin portion of the road was good. The new Epe road was smooth as butter.
The AC on these cars are good. I did not overheat. I set it to 25 and left it.
Tomorrow I will replace the torn boot, get new spark plugs and replace trans fluid.
Nice ride so far. The vehicle has présence. Black with tinted windows. The police officer that stopped me at a check point only said. Good morning sir. The last time I was driven there they asked for money.
The best stealth vehicle to own. Low cost of entry but a lot of bang for your buck.
Pictures are of my trip to Paradise and the torn boot that will be replaced.
Next time I will take fishing gear with me.
Nice.
Any reason why it wasn't going past 120?

Lol. Till we see. If you are serious, simply text or call me. I'd send you pictures. I don't have time for trolls.
Even bugatti sellers dey drop pictures. It's digital marketing 101.
And gives buyers a sense of what they're getting into before showing interest.
Also shows if you're a scammer or not.
I will report this post as fraud if you don't drop pictures in 24 hours.

chris81964:

The torque that the Mitsubishi can produce and over the range it produces it is what you should look at. An F1 engine is 1.6 liters and yet makes over 1000 hp. Would you compare it to the Honda. The three cylinder Yaris with 1.5 liters produces 300 hp. Does it make your Honda a bad engine?
No one is calling one engine bad or good.
You need not be defensive.
It's my own preference to go for a engine with more horsepower per cubic centimeter. That doesn't mean other engines are bad.

chris81964:

They serve different functions. The accord would out drag the Mitsubishi. Throw in snow mud or sand and it would be a different conversation . Horsepower does not help you in those conditions.
Yes, they are very different vehicles.
One is an SUV, the other is a sedan.
However, the engine displacement to power ratio is what I was comparing. Not the cars.

Oga Gazzuzz and other gurus, thank you for all the good work.

I intend to take my new 2012 accord to a rewire to fix a security to it, the one that turns off the engine after 5 minutes when the security is not pressed. I had such in my old 2003 Camry and it worked fine.

kindly advice if this is okay with no consequence for this type of accord, please.
Go use the money do comprehensive insurance and sleep with your 2 eyes

No, it is not safe. Just discard it. Find other brand like mobil as replacement, then return to your brand later.

Thread bump.

I've been seeing a lot of posts asking for car battery recommendations in the past week.

My list as at 2021
Trane
Bosch
Everstart
Hankook
Delkor
AC Diamond
Solite
Nova
Pioneer
Sebang
Starter
AIF
Gales
To buttress:
Trane, Bosch - I know and highly recommend.
However, anyone going for Hankook, Solite, AC Diamond and Gales should do their due diligence as inferior imitations now abound in the market

You can't prove that, if you don't want to help then walk away. Don't discourage those who may want to. You don't know what people are passing through
We shouldn't be encouraging begging.
If he needs a job, make he tell us what he does and people can help him with that.
If he offers a service, people here can patronize him.
Let's encourage people to work.
