A friend had an accident with his corolla.

Was bought tokunbo last month, but now Badly damaged.

Plans are ongoing to sell parts.

Here is before and after pic

Glithronix:

Yeah, I started off as a newbie. It really took the person that gave me the car some COURAGE and LET ME GIVE YOU A TRY before he could hand over the car to me, cos they all prefer an experienced Uber/bolt driver.
Much respect, boss.

First suggestion, be safety conscious. Be sure you know the person , if not , then have their details which may involve ID Cards or pic with social media handle… also let them be aware u are sharing it. Why? Cos Abule Ado is not safe at night . So its for both safety.


Now , to the question.


Just charge for a day, cos this journey no matter the time will get u in multiple traffics and hours of driving (longer than going to ogun state and back).


Simply 20-35k depending on ur client.

My bad, i read “Abule Odu” instead of Abule “Ado”.


10-20k sorry

davit:

Abule Ado is farther than Abule Odu nah. Ado is around Aspamda while Odu is around Ijegun.

Pearl1910:


25k for a day like today.

pope191:


you can not waste money on this hustle joor, the difference between us and part dealer is not up to 1 inch. Parts plenty for store.

Y1nka:


Was talking as regards safety

northbird:


Haha. Baba. Agbede dey that side now... (take a bike to where they are selling spare parts around igando, look for where they fix broken headlamps and taillights, ask for agbede there,

Try what I told you first. The water is supposed to circulate freely within the internal fins. Once 3 or 4 of the fins are blocked. Water won't circulate freely, making water to quickly evaporate from the radiator

You have to be there in person to see it yourself, I'm sure some of the radiator fins are clogged.

davit:


Thanks. It is someone very well known to me. One of my offline clients. Na him madam I carry. Though she picked some people on the roads. Banana and CMS.
I'm presently in Abule Ado. They came for a village meeting.
Thanks once again for the heads up. I will go for 30k then. Thinking of 25k before.
If they end by 5pm,I hope it is safe to be on the road by then.

Corolla is just a breathe of fresh air. Now I see why it is very popular in this country. It’s been 6 months since I got my Corolla and apart from going for servicing once in awhile I’ve not had any reason to visit any mechanic despite my rough handling.

Wetin my Honda Accord use my eye see last year till I sold it. God forbid!

ndubuisi2021:

[s] The reality is that those that drive 8 - 12hrs daily may never be able to walk again by the time they get to 50yrs. With all the other health challenges enumerated here so far, your legs would have been gone, your sight gone, that's a fact. People don't really understand the long term effect of driving this long because ehailing is relatively new in the world but only time will tell.

A little bit of caution should be applied while on it. Think of your health, think of being healthy and alive for your family when you start getting old. This hustle can take a serious health toll on someone as far as Lagos is concern. Extreme caution needed.

Like I usually say, it's not a full time business, never was, will never be.[/s]

Conner44:


I am sorry to say but this is all thrash.

What of people who have been driving trucks for decades and retired and lived healthy lives? Both here and abroad people drive for a living and retire with gratuity. They have vacations and and go on working leave for a few weeks in the year and back to the road. Why haven’t they gotten blind or lame?

You guys just come here speaking stuff you haven’t verified or that hasn’t been proven scientifically in any way and lead people astray for no reason.

Okay, those bankers that started working from age 25 and retired by age 55 and sit down at their desks from 8am to 4pm between breaks of an hour max why haven’t they become lame yet? Or are you saying that all chairs in offices are more comfortable than chairs in cars?

See my people if you don’t take care of your health even if you sleep 24hrs a day you’d get ill and surely have bed sores.

Anybody saying those that drive for a living will get ill health in their old age specifically because of it IS A VERY GIANT LIAR!!!

quote me anywhere

kanuisagoat:


This is around the time when the expenses start coming. Hope you're ready for them.

I bought a Matrix October last year Toks. Between October and March, the only thing I changed asides cabin air filter was the horn

This month, I've spent 35k fixing one thing or the other. So brace up, it's coming

Gentlelife50:

The same Corolla my neighbor is using, anyways just get a good car and be maintaining it it will serve well.
By the way all things being equal normally your toks car shouldn't give you problems under six months.

Viking07:
Fully ready. My previous car gave me no breathing space from day 1.

Pearl1910:
It's actually unbelievable. If it's truly toks

Viking07:
Lol you just assumed it’s tokunbo. Na Nigerian used I buy.

I maintained my Honda like a baby. Engine oil alone na almost 25k yet it was like a plague. Good riddance.

Djdamian:


Believe it and it's toks(documents available).i am not a greedy person.

Pearl1910:


Lolz...u never agree price before u embark on d journey?

Reminds me of one time I carried one of my elderly client to one village in Ondo State bordering Kabba in Kogi State...very funny experience. Chai...eyes have seen things.
I told Papa 30k daily so 2days is 60k...papa think say I say 30k for the whole trip. I was wondering why the man was so nice to me during the trip, he prayed for me, paid for 2k fuel and bought me a bunch of plantain 1k that year.
We ended up staying 3days cos he didn't finish his engagements on time. That's when I told him "Papa your money is now 90k, so my balance is 70k" (I had collected advance of 20k before we left lag.) Papa say haaaa...make I no give am heart attack abeg if I am joking. I insisted I told him the price long before the trip...(mistake I made was I didn't reiterate it on the day we embarked on the trip) I just assumed it was a done deal...him say make we reach lag first. Till today na only 10k Papa done send give me out of 70k.
Since that time any offline even if na 3k offline, I make sure we agree price first, no b wen we reach u go come dey say "shebi I tell u 2k"

ReadaDream:
Pay your commission as you work, it's not that hard.

You really think Bolt will allow you work for a week without paying them?

See you, see cash trip restriction.

Duplik8t77:
any experience with lastma vio and the rest so far since you started bro. Have they tried to extort you? Lol

Glithronix:

Lasma, VIO? Not at all.
But police? Yeahhhhh.
10k dropped from my pocket yesterday. LoL
These policemen intention put the One-way symbol on an entrance of one street like that, very close to Bolade Oshodi.
Be like they go cut small banner in circular form to make the O shape with the one-way symbol and paste in on one stick and put it ok the entrance of that street, there's no way you go see that sign where dem mount it. If you see the number of cars that got into the trap, omoh, those police go make millions yesterday only.
Na their oga enter my car say make we drive to their station with plenty arrested drivers following as if we were on escort duty,
When we got to their station, come see cars they arrested.
That was a pure intentional trap - cos their oga dey negotiate between 20k - 15k for bailing, so that victims go pay easily. Come see as as dey pay to bail our cars comot, their oga dey collect money on the street openly and he was dipping the money in his pocket and release our keys as we dey pay.
Him say na 15k me I must pay, I just beg am say I dey fast make him collect 10k - naso oga collected their 10k from me and put it in his pocket where people dey, I think residents of that area already know that's their dealings. I just zoomed to Allen, Ikeja and got a trip Iju ishaga, etc.
I don't think there's a way one can avoid paying these people as long as you're a driver, there's just no way to avoid them.
That's my only negative experience so far.

73O9:


You are wrong with your assertion.

Keep your eyes open for signs while driving and you shall pay no one.
Your experience with driving in lagos will also determine how you pay.

Many of the drivers never had experience driving on lagos before taking up uber driving hence why a lot of you would say you must pay fines.

I haven't paid anyone since 2018 I have been driving on the platforms.
