Don't trust naija mechs

I fixed shocks on my car a long while ago,the mechanic brought it back and the next morning the driver side front tire flew off on area 3 highway, na God save me....

I wont say more than this
Tires does not goes off like that if the bolts are not tight. It must affect your steering and the driving will be uneasy. It happened to me once and i went to tighten it before proceeding.

Who can show/briefly teach/educate me how to know good brake pads and how to change them?

My brake pads are not sharp at all, they need to be changed asap but I don't trust these mechanics.

I want to buy the brake pads myself then get a mechanic to fix it.

You will be surprised but that guy actually made sense.Y'll buy a car of 20 years with your eyes open and expect it to function 100%, look let me be honest with you, at 150K Km the car m manufacturer would have asked you to replace more than 60% of all moving parts of that car. At 120k km, most manufacturers would have asked you to change ur timing chain/belt. oil pump, water pump, and loads more

PS.Sad part is, most guys will now replace that 20 years old part with another part from a 22 years old car grin grin

Hmmmm.

Na this kind thing dey make sellers run buyers street.
If you don't trust a mechanic, why patronize him?
If you don't trust any mechanic, why not start fixing cars yourself?

Let's agree you buy the diff yourself, and and it is a faulty unit, why you go ask thr mechanic to test before you do? So your life is more important to you than the mechanic life is to him abi?

It's 2021, make we learn to dey do things the right way and let's learn to be humane biko.

No offense meant.

well said.

Please don't say trash. Sometimes installation error can cause damages too.

Why are you rooting for a system that is guaranteed to have a person ripped off? Are you corruption personified?

You don’t need to attack him, as he said the truth. If you can’t trust your Mechanic, why entrust him with your vehicles maintenance. Don’t let experience teach you this.

Probably rusted, that car is 19 years old, anything can happen.

Mine is almost 29 but i kind of made it a project car. I don't trust mechanics it's why I maintained it myself. Money dey hook me small I really wanna make mine standout and upgrade it to have a tall appearance. I always pay attention to detail.

you have a 2003 jeep and he has 2002 highlander,what is the difference?how are you sure that he has not changed 70% of his own? Yet you accused him of opening his eyes to buy an old car,should he go and steal?some people are even saying that it's old,yet if we check,they might not even have a bicycle.if the OP has money to upgrade,he will.you don't have to rub it in his face.he know its old.
