citizen202:
its a 2.0 engine ...the initial problem burnt the top gasket and I noticed some cracks at the top cylinder .the mechanic is advising that we change the half engine that the oil pump is not working

ItsJazmine:
Good morning.

Sorry to bother you. What of transmission oil and brake fluid? What are the recommended brands I should get?

jarkbauer:
I have come realize that conventional oils come in different weights like 5w-20 0w-20 etc. These oils are not synthetic.So is it compulsory to use only synthetic oil for oil change. or can these conventional oils be used too? From gazzuzz and the likes, it is as if one must use only synthetic oils for oil change.
Can someone shed more light on this.

Scam is highly relative; what u see as scam might just be *choice* to someone else.
But the truth is, whether you're a mech or biz man u want to make profit from your skills or your product or BOTH at the same TIME. That is not a scam, how much u make depend on so many factors.
I once had a biz (pls dont ask me which biz), and i charge you base on APPEARANCE; If u appear rich i charge u exorbitantly and most times client will pay with few or no complains, but some times i just charge little if u appear like the troublesome/broke ones, but not at a LOSS, i still MUST make my profit tho; so most times i use profit from client A to cover up deficit from client B.
For me, 99% of Nigerians (People i meet everyday) wants to charge or make 100% profit in whatever they are selling; even if its SKILLS.
Look at a scenerio, a mech was in his workshop from 8am till 5pm without no single customer, he's thinking about rent for the day, phcn/diesel, staff salary, hes not happy as expected; you showed up at 5:30pm and he wants to take everything he felt he has lost since morning from your pocket, immediately he jacked up his prices because he has bills to pay and you're the ONLY one for the day. Most Kazeems even do daily contribution(Akawo), so he wants to make his daily contribution from you alone. Is that a SCAM, I THINK ITS NOT; because you have a CHOICE! WALK AWAY! That is only if the car can still move tho. Lol
What we charge is strongly influenced by the nig system. It is easy to go out of biz.

jarkbauer:
This things work well.

Some few months ago I wanted to overhaul my suspension. From gazzuzz posts I know he charges 10k suspension diagnosis. And 15k or more for suspension installation.
I called a kazeem he removed my tires and wrote all I needed to buy. I bought original shocks bushings linkage etc.
I watched YouTube on suspension diagnosis and complication that may arise from installation and how to prevent them.

The kazeem Installed all of them and I paid him 10K.

I didn't allow him do a shoddy job. Infact the guy tire for me.

Truth is for less technical jobs you can use your kazeem. But for more complicated jobs. Na dem we go dey rush.

More than 6 months now no phiim.

In terms of pure luxury, I'd say it's:

/Rolls-Royce>Bentley/>/Mercedes>Audi>BMW/>/Lexus/>/Genesis>Volvo/Acura/>/Infiniti/

Lincoln and Cadillac are somewhere between Genesis and Acura imo.

bizzle2:
Oh really?? . Had no idea.
great stuff

sheffyUTD:
A scam is when you charge 25k to correct door light indicator and beautifies it with jargon 'Electrical Works On door switch' when all you need is 1k rubber flap.

jarkbauer:
Even the abroad you are shouting lots or people run away from dealership because they believe they are rip offs. Thats why there are lots of DIY videos online
People change Shocks DIY oil change is even very common.

You cant stop people from complaining because you feel its right to charge high. Even though I agree with that fact that Nigerians buy what they cant maintain.

This is why is support fuel subsidy removal. By the time you buy a litre at N250 you will buy smartforwo or Suzuki alto.
