Not a problem. Diagnosis is free with repair. If you only want us to diagnose and nothing else, N2,500

You like a Honda, buy a Honda. Any car sucks if you don't take care of it. I drive an Acura (Honda) and I'm happy.

Seriously though. Once you have it done you don't have to worry about it again. Keep your Mercedes. Especially in Nigeria it will open doors that Corolla won't. My uncle went to sell the BMW X3 my dad gave him against my advice and let's just say he's not getting business like he used to. A word is enough for the wise

Thanks.
Great piece.
I haven't even seen this used in Nigeria before.
To be specific, a Hyundai Elantra 2008 was used to tow a Toyota Camry 2005 for about 16 kilometers using the Camry's seat belt.
What are the chances of transmission failure for the Elantra?
For one, you used a smaller car to towa bigger one so...

Hi Car Gurus,
Please why does vehicle transmissions develop fault or fail after using it to tow another vehicle?
I have seen this happen to a friend's car and people keep saying it.
Now someone used my car to tow his and I'm getting scared.

Because they are not built for towing! Vehicles have specifications on how much weight they can handle and it's usually not the weight of another car unless it's a truck or suv. Towing needs a car with high torque at low rpms and your standard car will overwork itself.

Also, towing most luxury vehicles without using a flat bed will cause the same problem. So will towing with rope, chain, etc

I learnt this the hard way!
Local kazeem was imported from Lagos to the south south to fix vehicle completely. When he was done, he specifically told me to use Mobil xhp.

After reading some stuff online, I ordered for castrol gtx and the engine never remained the same.
It was like a grinding machine afterwards, I had to sell the vehicle shortly after.

No, you need to do it on a computer. Also, what kind of phone is it?
