i'm not a gearhead - but i am a tech geek. the first thing i do with any new pc is change the hard drive and install windows from scratch - even if i have to scour the net to find the right drivers.

@ the middle of the project.

one must put the customer first and not profit..... customer loyalty will ultimately translate to profit (but on a professional base.... always).

but the cost of doing business...... is very high esp in Nigeria where u have very little people willing to pay the exact fee for enjoying a particular service.... everyone has been programmed to believe N10,000 written on paper can be negotiated to N2,000
not considering the cost of parts and or labor....
it's the norm and trying to change it will take a long time since its a long term project which will involve a lot of losses.

streamlining is the only solution as dealers, suppliers and sellers already understand this and stock up as necessary... when a learned customer comes they show them both the fake and original tokumbo and new.... so any which way, they will still sell.

but all the same I'm. with u guys... cos when there is life there is.... ____.

The silver driver is at fault, firstly you can see the maroon car on blinkers to the left and secondly look at the point of contact maroon car was already at is front Accord to the road traffic rules are regulations any hit from the rear back is the fault from the hind drive conclusion silver is at fault

At intersections without traffic lights, signs or road lines: you must give way to any vehicle entering or approaching the intersection from your right. if you are turning right, you must give way to oncoming vehicles going straight through the intersection or turning left (except if they are using a slip lane).

The above is from the highway code (USA). It specifically talks about yielding at intersections.
The Nigerian highway code forbids overtaking when getting to junctions.
It also mandates motorists to makes sure they are clearly of the vehicle they want to overtake before changing lanes.

It’s strictly a location based thing.

A true professional can rebuild ANY engine. ANY.

As an Autoist I take pride in some of my 60+ year old vehicles having the original engine and transmission. “Matching numbers” have a value to some.

EgunMogaji:
A little bit more speech about customer service and I'll get off my soap box

Look, no one can say that issues will never arise. We're humans, of course ish will happen.

The defining moment for a good company is how they respond in those times of ish.

There's something called crisis management and it's not only for big companies like Apple, Nissan GM, etc this is one of the reasons that some employees that flee those companies go ahead and form spectacular startups. The training and learnings that they've had propels them forward. Of course you do have to have a good product.

EgunMogaji:
I'll be home soon. My site is up at [url]TobiMotors.Com[/url] though my offerings are limited by design until I am in Nigeria full time. It's a different concept.

1) If I feel that I can't satisfy the customer then I won't take the job.

2) Customer service is job number one.

3) It will not be cheap but there are Nigerians that will value good customer service and "Fix It Once" Repairs.

Buhari/Atiku/Obasanjo can't fix Nigeria, they are just one person. It is the cumulative effort of average Nigerians that will turn the tide. It may not be in my lifetime but it will happen.

I would never in a million years post the name of a client online. Even if I wanted to my fingers won't agree

By the way gents here is how it's supposed to be done.

1) Look at the estimate and look at the final total, see how close they are?

2) Any deviation from the estimate requires authorization from the owner. It's a law.

3) You can request your old parts back unless it's used as a core return.

If you're not doing business like this then I have no respect for you.

I'll charge a non-refundable troubleshooting fee that MAY be applied to the final bill. If you decide to go and do the work yourself or somewhere else then no bad feelings. I think this is one of the causes of bad belle that we see.

I fi I tell you that starter is bad and I changed it and started in not bad then I owe you a full refund for the starter. No questions asked.

The only time for ambiguity is stuff like opening up an engine and then finding that cylinder bores are work out of spec.

Fixing a modern car shouldn't be trial and error and most definitely not on the customer's dime.

#LazyNigerianYouths can make a killing in any industry if they put customer service first and foremost.

Well, Nissan actually knows how to frighten constrain their customers . You don't expect me to admit to the former publicly, do you?

I have a feeling that is this particular call is not premature.



Will you, kind sir, give us the name of this Ns-1 compatible fluid? Just to run a little research on it like we do with the other fluids too.

oluwaseunla:
Thank you cards, food, executive chair? Wow! Just wow! Lucky you.

How can one get a reliable agent to ship his car ?

EngRichie:
Nice write up. Kindly educate me on the phrase "normal use" because I am thinking that there is fraud in the use of that phase by manufacturers.

If every other thing is normally in place and I get a powertrain defect by sustaining the highest speed possible over a prolonged period, can that be considered normal use or not?

Regards.

Entertain yourself.

If I have to go through this length to explain the little concept of reposession of vehicles (which you can easily learn on Google), it means you are in it for the attention.

I said ' no major out-of-pocket" expenses and you are listing minor maintenances in a car. Knock yourself out. I refuse to believe that you are this daft. Take care.
