After nwanneni was offered the free service for his incoming ride from germany by nanaf,he was all smiles as he exited the building.
And baam!he spots radautoworks.sexy,charming,natural,soft.
Ooh.nwanneni exclaimed,what a woman!
Nwanneni,being nwanneni went forward to chyke radautoworks only to find out she is so married but offered her pretty daughter instead(missraine69),since nwanneni is such a nice good looking young man(she still dey do shakara sha).
Obekediamondfuto,from the other end of the hall was so furious i stole the girl he has been scoping for months in a flash.
Nanaf was just smiling and shaking his head from the other end of the hall.
Nwanneni,now calm and happy as ever,placed a call to gazzuzz to apologise for descending on him like a madcow after losing his beloved c230k(sport) and promised to make him one of the dignitaries of the champagne get together nwanneni wants to host at this years end for all selected NL cartalk members.

Nana prints out a proforma invoice........


uncle looks at it and gives the paper to nephew looks at it with eyes wide open, and mouth ajar he gives the paper back to uncle.

uncle asks if the water in the dispenser is free, Nana says yes sir, Uncle tells nephew to go and bring empty gallon from the boot of the car, they fill up the 4litter Gallon and head to the vehicle, they pour the cold water into the leaking Radiator and zoom off! Just then Aunty radautoworks steps out of her office and asks Nana, what just happened?

LOL.

Just reading part of it explains why car owners and mechanics in Nigeria killed the impressive technology called automobile. It tells more than Gazz.uzz meant to reveal. If I have a car problem and take it to a mechanic, the main push will be to replace the faulty part. No patch. No glue. Radiator leak? Put a new one. Then there are jobs like top gasket, transmission fluid flush, oil change, etc. Other than these, fixing/servicing cars in my garage is a hobby on slow Saturdays as I can't deal with appointments at the mechanic shops.

Gazz.uzz: Your story is full of "Try your luck" approach to fixing cars which is very sad indeed. Something that should have been fixed with N5000 ends up wasting owner's N50k. Like I always say, mechanics in Nigeria kill cars more than bad roads. There is this mad rush to be rich that nobody is patient enough to learn some skills. Mechanics, construction artisans, etc it is the same sad tales.

Side note: Gazz.uzz, for a mechanic who is always too busy with work to pick calls from customers, I am surprised that you have time to be writing Epistles on nairaland. grin. God don catch you.

on a side note, you are taking things too seriously, relax and enjoy the ride wink

after all the commotion, Dipo brings out a scanner to scan Uncles car...

1min later...

dipo: sir it's a P0420

Uncle: 420 bawo?

Dipo: a catalytic converter related issue.. Dipo then points to the exhaust manifold, and trys to explain further.... Uncle cuts in... Indomie no' ni! Kamaru removed it in 2015! grin

Uncle: Indomie was blocked and the engine did not faya well.. So as Kamaru removed it, engine was firing well.

Dipo: sir that is the reason the light came up...

Uncle places a call... hello hello ore me Ema send won mo o! Ehn ehn we will sor it out ehn ehn.

uncle drops the phone: Dipo so what about my engine that has become a shower, every where leaking from different points?

Dipo: explains that it is prolonged use of tap water that caused a degradation on the aluminum passages, and a faulty radiator unit.

Uncle: dipo 5 years yes 5.. My water did not go down, and in 5mins after leaving your workshop my vehicle became a cry baby. Well it is late and I don't have any more money for a radiator today, and the catalyst is still pending.

Dipo places a call to Macavele: Baba, please do you have that your old radiator you replaced because you were doing preventive work? Macavele replies yes. Please can I have it, there's a small situation in the workshop. Macavele says no problem, but you will pay the okada man o! Dipo says no problem.

Dipo: sir in the interim, I will install a functional used radiator so the leaks stop.

uncle: oshe! Badest, at the end of the month I will replace it.

Sultaan the okada rider arrives in 15mins with the radiator, dipo pays N500 and asks for change, sultaan replies Oga dipo, "Change I no de"

Uncle: ahh dipo, that radiator is looking like the tokumbor I bought 5years ago, very sharp no ni!

Dipo is at this point thinking of his N500 and manages to give a smile.

dipo: sir you will need to buy coolant again sir.

Uncle: Don't worry put, end of the month I will pay in Uncles mind "sense wee not kee mi"

Dealership wanted $2500 (N900k) but he fixed it for $20 (N7200).

Yep. Keep running to the manufacturers and dealerships (aka stealerships) for recommendations/fix and continue to get hosed. After all, it is your money. Na oyibo talk am, it must be true. Right? SMH

It is 7pm, Uncle yusuf and his nephew Readone35L leave Diportivo's workshop in sangotedo, and head back home to ogba.

Uncle Buys 2 bags of Purewater From malam, krisrock's kiosk, Just incase the temperature spikes again. the engine was left running for over an hour at Dipo's without any overheating.

When they passed the 2nd toll Gate, they nephew sights Timifakay's Tow truck on the opposite side of the road being towed by Oga Calculux. Uncle shakes his Head and says, that golf4 has transfered it's problems to the towing Van.

As they pass by 1004 estate, Uncle looks at his fuel gauge and tells nephew, there is an improvement in fuel economy. Readone35L smiles, he is happy about the positive news.

They drive past Ikoyi and are instructed to stop by a passing Motorcycle rider piloting a motorcade.

It was the gov Seun passing quietly without any noise or sirens, Nephew asks Uncle if this was How the Gov rolls all the time quietly thru threads Lagos streets, Uncle says election is around the corner and every one is at their Best behaviour.

Bikers Drive off and Road is cleared.

They Hit 3rd mainland and Uncle notices a nissan he saw in the morning, he asks nephew, is that not the boi that was trying to race me in the morning? See how calm and slow he is driving, seems he has learned his lesson. Uncle blaresthe horn Twice and nurey looks at them and angrily refuses to reply.

Traffic begins to build up on the bridge and they notice someone standing on the railing screaming at the top of his Voice DONT come close or I will JUMP!!

Uncle and nephew park by the side and come down from the vehicle to watch the ensuing Drama.

They continue Their Gist until credit runs out, mopol signals Banky3w to let them go with a warning, while he Flags down another Vehicle, a green Volvo without Number plates driven by valarinz. Banky3w smiles mopol smiles as Uncle takes off.

Sunday morning, Uncle does his regular fluid checks.

he opens the radiator and realises the coolant is really low, He checks engine oil, and realises the engine oil is on the lower mark shocked

he shouts at the top of his voice Readone35L!!!!!!


Nephew jumps out of bed in boxer shorts and picks up a shovel running towards the sound of his Uncles Voice.

Readone35L: Uncle what is it? Where are they?

Uncle: ogbeni drop that shovel, did I not tell you I suspected that dipo boi? I had a feeling he didn't pour all the engine oil into the engine, I am sure he wants to re-sell. Get me my phone let me call him.
Re: When It Is Time To Return To Factory Specs. by GAZZUZZ(op): 9:31pm On Aug 04, 2018
DIPO! DIPO o! Where is my remaining engine oil?

Dipo: Good morning sir, I don't understand. Uncle cuts in.

Uncle: there is nothing to understand, see my oil stick is not touching any oil at all..... You did not pour all the Americana oil into the engine.

Dipo: I did that personally sir.

Uncle: I do not agree, my engine does not short oil.

dipo: sir please send me your address so I can come Inspect the situation personally.

Uncle tells Readone35L to send sms to dipo with his own phone.

Dipo drives down to Uncles place in the company of His wife axamansard, they were all dressed for church.

Uncle : ah dipo that was fast, do you live nearby?

Dipo: no sir, but every Sunday I am on the mainland to attend church service.

Uncle: what's the name of your pastor

Dipo: MrPresident1

Uncle: ah is he not the one that predicted the world would end last year?

Dipo: yes sir.

Uncle: ok, please check my car.

Dipo inspects the oil and coolant and explains to Uncle that he poured the right amount of oil, but that in the interest of peace, he would give him a free 1 liter pack of both engine oil and coolant he had in his trunk.

As Dipo was pouring the oil, his wife was preaching to Uncle about the advantages of having comprehensive insurance.
