Also today, Ford Escape. This owner brought a replacement transmission for us to put in. I'm still pouting about that because we'd have rather fixed his

So I walked into work this morning kind of pissed off, but then I saw this.

That reminded me of what someone (obekediamondfuto) on Nairaland recently said about me changing and becoming savage. I remembered who I was and what my mission was so I decided to rise above everything and eliminate all the negativity in my NL life. Bottom line, don't waste time on things that are not on your level

While others were expending their energy and data today, we were busy at Mr Transmission-Milex Rad Auto works. It was so weird that all we had today were engine and transmission jobs I just had to start a thread because I was having a blast

From now on, when I get a minute I'll post some repairs we are doing here. If I remember I'll also post the cost. The other thread will remain for weird and misdiagnosed things we have run across.

Kk, like I said b4 I was not directly saying you’d manipulate hours but rather, my statement was me asking a “what if” a mechanic wants to build mansion on our head and stay put on a job to get more labor rates, it’s good to know there’s a standard time for fixing a part or getting a job done, so “if” any mechanic that charges hourly were to try anything funny, I cld take my stand n object

Understood

Dave5, I don't mind. We are completely transparent in our dealings. The only part I was a little miffed about was the manipulating hours. I would actually like you to post what we charged and what it was for.

Took my car to rada once, they gave me quote, I ran, the quote was almost half the price of my full car and they weren’t fixing much ohh

So if it’s 5k per hour basis, they cld decide to fix a car for 10 hours instead of the 30minutes it would normally take to do the fix? Thereby charging you madly

I doubt I wld be visiting them in the near future

If you visited our shop, you would know that's not how it works. First off, estimate is showed to you for approval BEFORE repair starts not after so we don't bill based on how long it took the mechanic.

On the off chance you really did visit us and there was a misunderstanding, here is the thread explaining billing that has been on Nairaland since the beginning. Feel free to post your car model and the required repair and I will screenshot the charges here for all to see.

Which popular brand in Nigeria does it shear the same Engine type with?

Stay away from Saturn
