thelastorca: it is not ok if a rider call you via uber, and then tries to initiate an offline trip if the rider already has your contact from a previous trip, then the rider can engage you, outside of ubers platform
it is not ok if i walk into the honda place and tell the mechanic working on my vehicle, lets take this outside honda it is not ok if the mechanic working on my vehicle tells me - lets take this outside honda if i have collected the mechanics contact and have an issue in the future, i can call him and engage him directly outside of the honda place
people cannot even think of risk. take hustler mind a jump into a transaction with a person whose capability, capacity and character are not verified. Amen |

thebigkendo: Hahahaha What I was afraid of is happening. We can't keep up with the number of cars coming through. I'm going to have to start turning away cars or I will get more complaints about how long it's taking to get to them... Wouldn't be so bad if they were standard jobs but most of what we are getting is what was massively screwed up by others before it got to us and it takes forever to unravel some of the issues. It's crazy how messed up cars here are! And people aren't afraid to drive them around! |

franksam2009: let's say Maybe he accepts d trip got robbed or flooded/hydrolocked his engine because he is soft hearted and decided not to reject your trip, can you replace his stolen items? Or help fix his engine for free or even on credit?? That could happen on any trip. If you're not prepared for those hazards then you shouldn't be in the business. Everything comes with a risk. E.g. right now I have a customer who brought a car that I can't fix because my specialist is sick. Does the customer want to hear it? No. If you want to have the luxury of picking and choosing trips, then you should do it on your own platform. As someone pointed out, drivers accepted the terms and conditions when they signed on. |

amr12: Hello Madam,
I don't understand how your company is being operated. Why is it difficult to get my car out. I called your office that I will be coming at a particular time and they promise to give the key to the security man only for me to get here now and security claim the key was not dropped. I thought I was going to get a good service so I can recommend you company to my colleagues and friends. However I am just disappointed. Sir, we can't leave keys with security. We closed at 5pm as we always do. Who did you speak with that told you otherwise please? |

thebigkendo: I personally think you should be worried.. Remember you established to change the narrative and you also have "Mr transmission" hanging up there...
Sending a Nigerian tech overseas is risky cause local man might disappear, but then I feel you should risk it with the right candidate..
I guess the "old one" is from the other side of the wall  We weren't. Now it's a whole thing that's why we brought one on board when we found one we liked. Still looking for one more, maybe two. Yeaaah, the wall lol... Been there about 35 years but was scared to legitimize because he has family. His daughter graduated college a few years back but helps him repair trannies in her spare time. She could easily have a career in building but then that degree  |

thebigkendo: Since you can't find a good builder, then you should consider training/upgrading one of your "replacers" That wouldn't be a problem except Glen is not a transmission builder. That's the only thing he doesn't do. And I haven't found a candidate worth putting the investment in sending overseas to train with our former builder or headquarters. Building is something that takes about 2 years to properly train. Honestly, we weren't too worried about it because Nigerians seemed so entrenched replacing transmissions instead. We actually didn't have a transmission builder on the team for the first seven or so months. Now we keep getting repair requests so I have to get and find additional builders which takes time. We were going to bring our old one then he ran into problems with ICE. *COUGH* |
Car Talk › Re: Repairs by radautoworks(op): 5:24am On Oct 23, 2019 |
thebigkendo: Quiet unfortunate you have only one transmission tech..
Hope he is not doing P-P while claiming sick, just the Nigerian in me thinking out loud No, he's not. He has episodes that we've verified. My only issue is when we don't know how long they will last. He's brilliant and a good worker when he's healthy. We have multiple people who can replace but finding a good BUILDER is difficult even overseas. Remember, we put a one year warranty on build jobs. I don't want to put someone else on it, do a teardown, then find that it's a build job. It's not a good idea switching techs midway on jobs like that. |

[quote author=amr12 post=83375512][/quote]Hello, I sent you an email before I saw this. The car arrived Saturday after closing when it could not be looked at. The next day Sunday, we are closed. Yesterday was the first day it could have been looked at and my tech was out sick as he was today. As much as I hate to, you may have to pick up the vehicle as I don't know when he will recover. I'd rather do that than have you waiting indefinitely. I apologise for the inconvenience. |

izzou: Even if it is once, to me, it's unprofessional
But you know what? You had your reasons for doing that. You saw a reason that, I cannot see. I may not understand, but you really do.
And you the funniest part? I would probably reject the repairs just as you did
That's my point in this whole matter. It's not the same. I don't have a contract with my head office that says I must. Sometimes it would help my customers to buy used parts but I don't because I have a contract and I like to deliver a quality product. |

izzou: I'm sorry ma, but have you always worked on all the cars that was brought to your workshop?
Haven't you ever rejected a repair because of reasons other than finance?
If yes, I might just conclude that's it's unprofessional. Only when it was a problem we couldn't solve and to date in Nigeria, that has been twice |

izzou: Cancelling after accepting
When you make a request, the driver can not know your destination. Even when he accepts, he cannot know
It's until he starts the trip, or you tell him in that case, I don't think you should be able to reject trips. My family and I were stranded in Rome from 11:02pm tIill 2am, new Jersey till 3:45am and almost missed a flight in NJ because of exactly this. Drivers would be on the way then cancel without a word and then we would have to start over. One even showed up (Rome), saw we were black and cancelled. In NJ, he wanted more to carry us when he arrived. He refused, drove off, started the trip and we were charged! Filed a dispute and got money back. Other professions don't pick and choose. Imagine if doctor accepts your appointment and then you show up and doctors says he doesn't want your case but you can afford to pay. |
