Recommendation is Max 60k miles. Some people are lucky but recommend you change trans fluid and filter asap.

Please car gurus. My front tires bounces each time i turn my steering to the left, whether slight left turn or full left turn, you will feel the bounces( I feel it more on the drivers tire) and even hear the sound it makes.( tum tum tum). This is very noticeable at low speed or during deceleration. But this bounce disappears once I center the steering or turn slightly right.

I also noticed that while driving without hands on steering, the steering will always turn itself to the right rapidly

Last time someone came with this complaint, he had a bulge on one of his tyres. You might want to inspect the tyres. Or swap you tyres; back to front, and re check.

this is very disrespectful of you and as such I will take you as a lazy uprofessional, clumsy and disrespectful individual with a very low self esteem. this is a scam? we have been repairing vehicles even before you were born. do you feel threatened, do you feel like we threaten your oil change and fulcunizer roadside business? we represent the future of auto repairs and unless you have what it takes just sit down and watch while the big boys play.
google for the best vehicle repair workshops in abuja and if you do not see Autospa.ng then your google have a problem. you call us a scam without even running your investigations. I believe that is the kind of clumsy and lazy atitutude that you put into your work. we will never forget this disrespect that you have shown us.

I have searched google for the top oil change workshops in lagos and you are not even listed among the first 200 and you dare question the authenticity of an authority in the vehicle repair business? are you drunk? or you are in love with the agenda of your village people?

I see why your comments online are very short, you are afraid of your mental capacity to sustain reason in a broad comprehensive and factual comment. in other words unlike me if you type more than one sentences the remaining lines after the first one may be uttter rubbish and out of point. instead of the Gazzuzz to be looking towards partnering with people like us who have the capacity to change his poverty striken oil change business by buying our servicing oil from him, instead the devil in him is urging him to take the wrong step and curse those whom God have blessed.

. AutoSpaNg ok I got your attention pun was intended, now go and open a thread before you receive a lengthy ban and stop spamming threads with your adverts.

This is how it works.

You contribute positively to cartalk/autos, and with time from your responses people will know if you are good at what you do or not and you will receive patronage. Throwing adverts on cartalk is against the rules on (you should read the rules). You need more patronage that's why you placed adverts if not you would not, so do it right.

Sorry I called you a scam.

I gather you were trained by him, so naturally you feel you're indebted to him and you owe him, that makes sense. But sometimes try to apply independent reasoning. Think for yourself and don't keep following him about like a lost puppy. You don't always have to agree with everything he says and be his voltron.

once in a while try to think for yourself, dare to have an original thought or an independent opinion. you're a human being, created equal.

my opinion. An independent opinion, you should try it sometime, you may even like it.

Uncle, first of all, you gathered wrong.

Secondly, since you know us so well, you may ask him if I always agree with him, I think his answer may shock you.

Thirdly, you nairaland folks take things too serious. Relax, enjoy life, you will live long that way sir. Just an "independent opinion".

Like I said I was in the mood, I may subsequently ignore you. Do have a restful night sir.
