u
i have had my fair share of experience with rusted cars. Wanted to purchase a tundra for my business so i opted for a clean nigerian used manual drive with v6 engine grin. the owner was doing shakara for me as the v6 is rare then being a manual. I just vex say make i buy tokunbo. Made the calls and deceided to purchase from cotonou to save cost(i dont advise anyone to do this either grin)

Went ot cotonou with my Kazeem (mehn their car market large shocked) finally found what i was looking for and was happy as i beleived i was getting it at a good deal. my kazeem check every every and gave me the green light. he was even happy say catalyst still dey there. i saw the truck and raised some issues bout the rust but he assured me no lele. wnated to get a report from carguide but it was so late in the evening i was tired and just bought blindly based on the mechanics word. Received the vehicle and was happy.

Took vehicle to gazzuz make em service. when he saw the truck he was happy but when he went under shocked shocked, he was shocked and brought my attention to the mega rust at the frame near the passenger side. mehn shocked shocked shocked shocked the rust was so bad if i had continued driving like dat the truck will just probably break apart in time. i was disappointed in myself and esp my mechanic. wetin i won do now. but thank God gazzuz brought it back to life. even to change the suspension sef na war cool

Now im enjoying the truck and keep wondering if i hadnt taken it to gazzuz, if that same mech was servicing it, what would have happened? thank God though the car has a clean title but only say canada and rust be like 5 and 6.

Some say gazzuz is overrated but i say gazzuz izza doctor of automobile. he treats every car like a patient grin and not a machine. like the car speaks to him and he understands their pains.

Hope someone learns from this experience

My opinion is for anyone that wants to buy a car for his or her family and is concerned about safety and previous pride of ownership is to buy from the West Coast but stay out of the coastal areas.

The High Desert communities of Southern California (still close to the port), Arizona and Nevada are all good areas to look at.

No doubt he his one of the most experienced automobile engineer I ever meet and I have written a piece about my experience with him in the past. However I will also add that he's got one of the strangest attitude that I have also experienced in a client to customer relationship. No one is perfect though but I hope he works on his attitude!

Don't be too sure on that, he is a service provider and I expect feedbacks will be useful for him, which is normally for improvement, so it's possible for people to do anything if there is determination.

That said, Gazzuz has lots of customers I guess what also matters is whether the opinion is shared by reasonable number of customers (especially the important customers ;-) ) that will be for him to figure out though.

As to the other part, well if we all live absolutely separately then Gazzuz and I no go chop; I won't be able to fix my car for daily commute and Gazzuz won't be able to render service as well. grin

Every suspension part was replaced (subframe, struts, bars, bushings lower arms etc ) before it was brought here for a drivetrain related issue.

Because of the snow Canadians use a lot of sand and sand to treat their roads during Winter season. This salt are acidic based. This causes alot corrosion to the body panels and undercarriage part of the vehicle. This affect the integrity of the frame. Run the VIN for car history
