Hello Ma'am generous offer here. What does the bolded mean though, is it the same thing as a general evaluation/scan/inspection to detect and preempt any looming fault or improve on the performance of the car? If yes, yaay! If no , how much would it cost to get this service at your outlet?

Yes sir it is! We check everything on the first sheet below.

If you need something more in-depth, we do either of the other two and it's still free if repairs are done with us. Otherwise, it's an hour of labor.

Ok thanks.. so a toks c class shouis be generally less expensive to maintain than its e class counterpart ?

Yes and no. Parts they have in common will be about same price. The thing is as you go up in class, there are more electronics/parts to contend with and that's where your higher maintenance comes from. Am I explaining this right guys?

I agree so you admit to plagiarism? You really want to start a picture war with literally anyone here? That's cute lol cheesy

Again, amazing how you can speak properly as long as you are not being asked about Auto work grin

Get your garbage into your own thread and no one will bother you. We won't even read your posts I promise.

** Oh, and to plagiarize means to steal work that is not yours and present it as yours in case you don't understand what you have been busted doing. Usually people are humble and apologize after being caught stealing. Do your 'customers' know you steal?

Rebuilds are not charged by the 'books' though, because it is non-standard job.

Personally, I see the job hours on those 'books' as bloated. For instance, you can see a VB R&R at 7hrs! It is highly improbable that the job wont get finished within allocated time.

Yeah.. technically not but the cost of an R&R provides a guideline. They may seem bloated because they are usually based on B techs not A techs. The more reason why there is no excuse for coming in over time.

The insurance hours are a LOT lower for the same jobs.

As a guideline for you, our labor rate is N5,000 an hour meaning a typical oil change would be around N2,500 and brakes would be around N7,500 in labor per set.

madam, these are very expensive compared to the prices people usually pay in these parts of the world

the last time I gave a Mech (Kaz obviously) N7,500 he serviced my injectors, changed all my brake pads, installed a new rear caliper, rotated my tyres and changed my oil and filter. He even allowed me buy those small spray paint cans and held on for me to personally spray all four calipers red so it looks cool

well, i drive a jalopy so maybe he pities me

obviously you cater to only the elite clientele. Luckily we have numerous ‘chairmen’ on this forum who drive high end cars so don’t fret. You’d get enough patronage.

Good luck

I congratulate you on having a reliable guy at those prices.

Our labor rates are actually half of comparable centers and come with 3 months warranty on work done. The purpose of the thread wasn't so much our rate but the amount of time you are being billed for. From what you're saying, his labor rate is about N1,500 per hour as it should be for a kazeem.

For example, if a mechanic told you he was going to charge you a certain amount, by knowing how many hours it should take, one could figure out what rate they were being charged for the service. This is especially important for bigger jobs and not so much the little things and I've seen some insane billing for labor since I've been here.

Does anyone recall ever seeing the below (picture)?

Is not quite 30 days, is it? This https://www.nairaland.com/4672565/how-much-should-expect-pay? is prove that the rules of this business are about to be rewritten...

Innovate or die they said...guess it is coming down to the realm of automotive servicing

Is there any Nigerian dealer or authorized representative that you know that has 10 lifts?

Maybe there is...I don't visit dealer shops though.

That said...my fees are project based not book value based...though I know about the so-called books.

You take on some projects that are hard to book so just like Egunmogaji as long as you're transparent, nothing wrong with project based.

Hey, how'd you get your tagline to be blue?

You should know the as a seasoned mechanical engineering involving in automobile programming tools are actually becoming essential auto diagnostic tool in automobile repair shops.Gazzuzz you can often come across OEM Technical Service Bulletins that require them to reprogram the vehicle with the latest OEM calibration files in order to diagnose and repair car problems such as check engine light, gas mileage, false DTCS, shifting, hesitation, rough idle, emissions quality, ABS, performance and more.You install software's and use your hardware machine for proper diagnosis. You can use oem diagnostics etc and please always be polite I'm not a competition we could learn a lot from one another plus I will create a thread soon enough thanks sir @Gazzuz kamaru

I gave you a chance. Next time you plagiarize, at least try to change the order SMH

No, I'm good. Thanks. I don't want to reduce my IQ any more than it already is.

I do find it interesting how you speak completely differently when it's not your supposed topic of expertise. Since you want to be a smartass, scroll down a couple of posts.

Hmmm. Aunty Radu (by the way, who coined this name) is becoming a Savage demeanor, just like the rest of them. Stay long enough on nairaland, you become them .

The guy can't give the answer you seek. You guys will keep going in circles.

For now I'm blaming it on hormones lol.

It just grinds my gears when so called mechanics try to use a ton of words to confuse potential clients or try to insult the public's intelligence. Strung together they are meaningless but someone who doesn't know better will get taken.

I don't like when they buy a tool, don't know what it is for or how to properly use it, then charge for it. Especially when you do it on someone else's thread.

It's the same way I feel about the people on here selling all these machines promising to quadruple your fuel or N5,000 machines that can solve all your car's problems!

DAMN! I AM cranky! Just two and a half more weeks...
