Car Talk › Re: I Need Recommendations On Where And How To Learn Car Rewire by radautoworks: 3:15pm On Apr 25, 2021
chosenboy777:
Hello

I need the recommendation of experts and experienced individuals here on nairaland... I have had this idea of wanting to learn a skill pertaining to cars recently...

after a little bit of research, I found that I kinda resonated more with car rewire, diagnosis, scanning etc...

the thing there now is that I have no idea on a good place to learn it...

this is why I am presenting here... I need Recommendations on where and how to go about learning it and how long it would take me to learn it...

Gazzuzz, radautoworks, ikenna... please help with recommendation...
Being a specialist is a thing of the past. In most countries that are advanced in auto care, you can't just be a rewire, diagnosis or whatever (only exception is transmission rebuild). You have to be an all-rounder to be successful. If we have anything to say about it, Nigeria is also headed in this direction. We've turned down a lot of job applicants because they were one trick ponies.

FIRST, you need to learn all aspects of car repair, then you can choose to specialize. If not, you're leaving money on the table and will become obsolete since people want one-stop solutions.

I noticed this when I had a business that used DHL for the importation of laptops to Nigeria. I also used DHLfor some automotive deliveries. The duty rate for car parts is so high. Nowadays, I don't even bother, I just use a freight forwarder and have no business with customs. While these big weight logistics companies are super efficient, I think sometimes they connive with customs in the whole issue. Could be wrong though.
You have no idea how pregnant this statement is grin

Radautoworks, i respect you a lot here but all these shalaye isn't making you look good.
You really tried fixing the car, even expressly stated that crocif can always take advantage of your 90 day labor warranty.
However, i personally think you should ignore posts on this going forward.
We've all learned one or two things from all these which can be useful in dealing with future clients.
For example, the oil warning light was fixed without an ECU change or system upgrade.
in fact ehn, you're not the only one to give me this advice. Consider it heeded.

Crocif:
Okay.

I will take it that she was nice and polite to you.

I have seen posts from her to show that she does not apply similar standards to everyone . Anyways, in one way or the other every human is like that (my postulation).

Thanks for standing up for her. I am sure she appreciates it.

Cheers.
Ah, my dear crocif. Still waiting for you to produce a single person who has met me or even spoken to me that says I disrespected them unlike your hero. Until you blatantly lied I was more than accommodating and courteous to you as I am to everyone- until they attack my integrity. Everyone gets my respect upon meeting, it's up to them to keep it.

Sorry I wasn't able to do all your repairs for free. Glad your boy took it upon himself to finish the rest. You are the perfect customer for him and I wish you both a happy life grin

Now, for those who don't understand how the English language works, my point was why would he sell a 2007 acura mdx if he had spent only 400k for the car+200k on repairs for it? At 600k, it made more sense to keep the car and finish the repairs and not give up on it. To further help those who struggle with the English language, the sentence was immediately followed by "I would not recommend selling it". Then I realized the 400k he posted earlier was not the cost of the car and I corrected it but of course the Cartalk cabal can't resist violence and willfully misinterpreted it.

So there you go, these three paragraphs should give you kids another week's worth of circle jerks.

Enjoy your weekend children, I'll be at the beach wink

eddiense:
It baffles me too. some will say it's just gas you will refill but you will end up changing compressor, condenser, drier, pipes, etc.
the truth is a lot of times all those do not need changing. It's usually when a tech doesn't know how to or don't have the tools to find which of them is the problem they just recommend changing the whole system hoping to catch the problem. It's usually just a leak, clogged filter or blend door. It's not that often you really need to change the compressor and the bad ac gas sold here has a lot to do with it.

So if you ever have someone tell you to change multiple components (especially when the ac compressor is fine), run and get a second opinion.

Anytime I don't accept a trip, it affects both the acceptance and completion rate.

What to Know About Your Car’s Air Filters


Committing to changing the air filters on your vehicle on a regular basis can prolong engine life, maximize engine power, help the planet, and improve your health.

There are two types of air filters in every car. One filter cleans the air that enters the engine, and another filters the air you breathe inside the vehicle. Both filters are made of paper, cotton, or foam and trap dust, pollen, mold, and debris, preventing it from getting in the engine or in the air you breathe. The experts at Milex Complete Auto Care recommend changing the air filters on your car to keep it performing at the top of its game. Learning how to check your air filters and understanding why keeping them clean is important are key to your health and the well-being of your vehicle.


How to Tell if Your Engine Air Filter Needs Changing


Your car’s engine requires sufficient airflow to run properly. A clogged air filter can create build up on your spark plugs, which can cause the car or idle roughly. Small particles from the air can cause damage to various parts of your engine. Having a clean air filter can prevent costly repairs to your engine.

Mechanics used to recommend changing air filters frequently to maintain fuel economy. A study from the U.S. Department of Energy revealed a car’s air filter does not improve fuel efficiency on new, fuel-injected engines, according to the American Automobile Association. While older carburetor cars needed fresh air filters, present guidance recommends changing the air filter only if airflow is badly restricted, or as directed by the automaker.

Most automakers recommend changing the filter every 30,000 miles. Checking the condition of your air filter is an easy task.

Open your car’s hood and find the plastic box with a large hose sticking out of the side on top or the side of your engine.
You may need a screwdriver, but the engine air filter housing will likely be closed with clamps. Pop open the box and remove the filter and see if it is full of debris. If you tap the filter and dirt falls out, it’s time to replace it.


Signs Your Cabin Air Filter Needs Replacing


The cabin air filter is responsible for keeping the air in your car fresh and clean. The World Health Organization estimates that around 7 million people die from exposure to polluted air every year, and nine out of 10 people breathe polluted air. One of the leading causes of air pollution is truck and car emissions on the roadway. While the United States has taken great strides to reduce air pollution with regulations and emissions testing, making sure your cabin air filter is in proper working order can help protect your health on the road. Pollutants are often higher inside your vehicle, especially if you are idling in traffic. In fact, the air inside your car can be up to 15 times more polluted than the air outside, reveals IQAir, an air-quality resource. If you live in a smoggy city, or a desert climate, you may need to change your air filter more frequently, Car and Driver reports. In addition to keeping out pollutants, the cabin air filter helps keep out dust, dirt, pollen, bugs, and leaves. Pollen is especially problematic for people who are prone to allergies. No one wants their eyes to water, or have a sneezing fit, while they’re concentrating on the road.

Milex Complete Auto Care recommends changing your cabin air filter every 30,000 miles, or when you notice a sign it may be dirty. Here are the top signs your cabin air filter needs replacing.

Your car smells musty or unpleasant.
Weak airflow from your heat or air conditioning unit or it is louder than normal.
A whistling sound coming from vents or you see debris.
Your allergies are acting up.
Your windshield takes a long time to defog.


If you are driving in a big city with a lot of trucks emitting harmful emissions, you can minimize the impact and keep out pollutants by driving with your windows closed and using the recirculation setting on your car’s ventilation system, according to Occupational Health & Safety magazine. You can spot-check your cabin air filter easily. Cabin air filters are typically located under the dash or behind the glove box. A quick look at your owner’s manual will tell you where to find your filter. If it looks filthy, it’s time to get a new one.

Keep your engine and your lungs healthy by visiting an expert at Milex Complete Auto Care to make sure your car’s air filters are in top form.
