GAZZUZZ:
Before I am pulled into a saga cum gargantuan gaga, fleet experts used my services for vehicle inspections before collection. They only used and paid for my service once for a partial repair on a toyota corrola 2004, and continued repairs with client them selves. as of january 2018 no business transactions have transpired that have to do with car repairs.

Thank you.

My anger right now can't be fully understood.

This guy called Ogunvic (Ogunleye Kayode) is the most foolishly proud, arrogant and irresponsible person I have ever met.

I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN IN DETAILS


Towards the end of last year December I was fortunate to meet the Mech Specialist Mr Gazzuzz who sold me a faultless Tokunbo Toyota Corolla. After negotiations and all documents handed over I decided to meet Ogunvic and try out his over exaggerated Fleet Management.

We scheduled a couple of meetings and a few calls and in all he was very boastful about the system he runs and kept guaranteeing its 'foolproof'. Here's a summary of his terms and conditions:

Partner to handle all maintenance and mechanical faults.
Repairs to be handled by the insurance company will be treated "DULY".
FleetXpert agrees to "Notify" partner of any mechanical problems with the vehicle.
Partner provides "N30, 000 worth of Fuel + Total Card"
Partner to provide driver with
A Brand New Phone
Spectranet 4G Modem
Car Charger

In the event of unfortunate events Fleetexpert pays Partner 60% of whatever driver makes after fuel cost deduction "before the unfortunate event".

After he then added an eye sore that Partner to pay N20,000 Driver Registration Fee which was not included in the contract. I specifically told him that's not possible cuz I see no reason for such from the partner.

As at the time I had no cash on me for all he listed and I asked him to handle the 15k Spectranet, 30k fuel, 1k total card and getting fire extinguisher, car wash and floor carpets and car charger (estimated around 10k) totaling approximately 56k. I told him to deduct 20k off the weekly agreed till its fully paid off and he reluctantly agreed. I went ahead and got his specified phone.

Being concerned about my car and its usage plus stories I read here on Nairaland about car theft and vandalism since most drivers don't have gated parking space. I asked him to search for a driver living around the mainland (preferably any in and around Surulere, Akoka, Anthony, Maryland, Isolo) and for security I asked the car be parked in my office complex which was by the bus stop expressway so it's easy for the driver to come out and pick up. With this I can also keep an eye on the conditions of my car. This offer was obviously turned down. He gave his reasons so I agreed.

I further asked if whenever I needed to use the car for work delivery or outing the driver could assist with discounted payment for service rendered and he agreed.

All doubts crosschecked I made up my mind to entrust him with the car regardless. On Friday 5th of January I handed over the car. He agreed to get a driver and do all necessary arrangements for the car to begin work as soon as possible.

Next day I checked my tracker and saw series of movements between Magboro in ogun state, lekki, ilupeju and ikeja. I called him to ask if he got a driver and didn't let me know but he wasn't picking so I asked Mr reliable Gazzuzz and he explained to me that he lives in magboro, works around ilupeju and has an office in lekki. So I relaxed even with sadness about the car gaining so much miles and no money to show. Kayode later called and with a tone said he wasn't going to continue with me. I called back apologized and explained my concern and we resolved the matter. He said he'll try to get a driver soon.

On Monday 8th he informed me he got a driver (Emmanuel Offikwu) staying at Agege and he's concluding discussions. So with hope work will start. According to the driver he started work on Thursday even though tracker shows lekki movements Wednesday and overnight. I found out later from Driver that the day he collected the car he took it to a mechanic to fix the silencer cuz it was damaged by Ogunvic and he kept it from me (remember the agreement signed). Now I kept silent.

By Tuesday 16th I called Ogunvic Kayode and asked for an update on my pay. He said driver made around 57k and he would make calculations and give me a breakdown. I said ok and waited. 2 days later nothing sent. I called and he said busy and I should remember I owed him. I still said no problem let me just know the breakdown so I know whats left or not. But by weekend kayode still didn't send anything.

Now according to kayode, driver remits monday evenings, he makes calculations and sends money to partners on Tuesdays. So by Tuesday I was hopeful I'll get a call this time.

In the evening around 6pm, I got a call from the driver and the news was he had an accident. While reversing he bashed into another car at lekki. Matters escalated and the car was in the police station. I asked since when he said on Sunday 21st. I asked if kayode was informed he said yes, on Monday. He said he was trying to handle the matter quietly but since it'll involve the insurance company to fix he decided to call me. He also told me he made 80k+ and gave Kayode 60,000 and he bought 7k full tank and 4k extra in keg. After his call I called Kayode and without blaming him for not telling me as per the contract I asked what he was doing to resolve it. He said he would call the other car owner and negotiate for car to leave station for repairs. I said ok no problem. I immediately called the insurance company (Axa Mansard) and with no hesitation the very nice lady (Taiwo who I also got from Mr Reliable Gazzuzz) said no problems, I should provide pictures of both cars, police report and repair estimates and that in a few days it'll be done. I smiled and thanked God for insurance.

Next morning Wednesday around 10am I called Kayode to ask how far, he said he had stuffs to do and will find time later in the afternoon to see the third party and apologize and issue a post dated check and avoid the police. This is a matter already at the Police Station.

He said he just got to know on Tuesday and I told him I didn't care and all I wanted was the car out ASAP. (All this while I was speaking calmly and he's the type that when he's speaking he wants you to take his opinion but when you speak he'll keep interrupting and press his opinion whenever there's a problem.)

He said I was blaming him and he got angry and told me if I don't want to "LISTEN" to him I should go and get the car out myself. I ended the call.

For a car that's been at the police station going to 4 days Kayode still has stuffs to do and my car was not important enough.

I called the driver and asked for the third party number. I called and he said we could meet at the station since he was close and that the police were even asking for the car owner to confirm insurance. I left my office immediately, went home to get all original papers and insurance certificate, I called the driver and asked him to join us so we resolved everything. I took an UBER and after 30mins on trip I called the driver only for him to tell me Kayode asked him not to come. I tried everything to explain to him the importance of him being there to witness any discussion but still he was adamant about coming.

Now my fire was burning very bad.


I got to the Lekki station where the car was and the police woman in charge told me the other guy had waited almost 2 hrs but left minutes before I arrived. The police further asked for the driver and I said he was on his way that we should start processing any thing.

She clearly refused and said all parties involved must be present to confirm who is who. So I was stuck. I tried to call the driver and after very many tries he didn't pick. The police also called and he didn't pick up. I called the third party and he said once the driver comes I should let him know and he'll return.

At this point I had to narrate this story to the police lady who asked for Kayode's number and called him. In my presence she asked kayode to come over so everything can be resolved amicably. Kayode bluntly refused and said whenever he has chance he'll come. According to the police lady she said Kayode was arrogant and rude and I noticed her say kayode should chill since she was the one calling with her own credit he had no right to shout at her or refuse her talking. Kayode kept saying if he's to come it'll be later in the evening that he was busy. The lady was shocked and said is he expecting the 2 car owners to wait all day till evening when he has chance.

She referred me to the case section and the DCO asked an officer to follow us to the Kayode's office there in Lekki. We got there in pretence as clients for the secretary and as expected Kayode wasn't there. I was told by the police to file a different case against him at the ilupeju station close to Kayode's usually location for defrauding. So I left.

On my way I called Mr Reliable Gazzuzz and narrated my situation he asked me to calm down and give him chance to speak to kayode.

Few minutes later Kayode called me and stupidly said the reason he asked the driver to wait was because driver didn't have transport fare and he was to send him money but was busy. That he'll send soon. I said no problem so I faced home. By the time I got home around 5pm the driver called and was apologizing that he didn't have cash and also went to the hospital for treatment and that's why he didn't pick. I said no problem, call the other party and schedule a meeting time and inform me so we all settle the matter.

Next day Thursday I called the driver and he said the other guy agreed to Friday.

Friday morning around 9am I called the driver and he said he was on his way to the station and the other guy said to meet by 11am. I quickly got dressed and called Kayode and he said the driver told him the night before and he'll be leaving home soon that he'll pick me up at my office so we can go together. I told him driver was on his way there so I'll wait. By 10:30, kayode said he's almost at my place. I called the driver and to my surprise he said Kayode asked him to wait at his ilupeju location so we could all go together.

11am I called Kayode and he said he's close. Called driver and he said no sign of kayode. I called the other guy and acted like I didn't know there was a fixed time. He said he was at the station and waiting for the driver who he agreed to meet. So to buy time I said I was coming and he should please wait.

11:30am no sign of kayode so I called an UBER and left. I called the driver and told him to inform kayode I will go ahead amd they should meet me there. Getting close to the station I called Kayode and he said he had to handle certain things but will be leaving soon. When I got to the station I met the Gentleman waiting in the heat. He obviously wasn't happy and asked for the driver. I said they were coming. After a few minutes I called Kayode and he said they were coming, further said he didn't want anything to do with police and I said not a problem. We can speak with the guy outside and the driver and I can go in resolve the issue and be gone. For him coming is just to assist the driver incase he needs to pay money to the police or make negotiations or stand as his guarantor.

After 1 hour no sign of kayode nor the driver and the other guy vexing and me consoling. Driver stopped picking his calls.

I decided to plead with the police and ask if anything else can be done, I wrote a statement and she sent to the DPO. The DPO gave the condition that I first fix the other guys car and mine remains till its done.

Till now, kayode hasn't called, driver hasn't called.

This is someone who claims to run a Fleet Management Company. No regard for Partner, No remorse whatsoever.

My car still seats at the Police Station pending the quote from the other guy who says his car was bought brand new and as it's still under warranty can't give it to any mechanic except the car manufacturer. Who he says will get repair quote out by Monday.

That's the current situation and he's here still advertising for more cars to collect and damage while ripping off partners and favoring drivers.

Note I have call records on the Wednesday and yesterday Friday between kayode and I. I have tried attaching but doesn't seem to load.

Timi, I may vex come Ib this weekend oo . Be careful!!! I presently have a Peugeot I'm battling, not taking another until that one goes.

Hehehehehe... Practice makes perfect nah, a Nissan Maxima may be waiting for you...

You are always welcome here in Ibadan.

krisrock:
Boss Gazzuzz if I may. The job of the thermostat is to block the flow of coolant to the radiator until the engine has warmed up. When the engine is cold, no coolant flows through the engine and the thermostat remains closed and also your fans stay off. Once the engine reaches its operating temperature (about 93-95 degrees C), the thermostat opens to allow the coolant flow through the engine and your fan should also comes on, both working together to cool the engine and make sure it remains within the operating temperature range stated above. Also not that the fan is supposed to just come on, cool the engine and go off when everything is working well(except if AC is on in which case the fans stays on). However, if the thermostat have been removed there is no blockage and the coolant starts flowing immediately you start the car with your fan also coming on. The absence of the thermostat and the fans staying always on will not allow the car get to the optimum working temperature and this will then inform the ecu to keep pumping fuel into the system to help get the car to the optimum temperature which will never happen. Hope this helps.

You don due for promotion. Thumbs up.

airfresher:
Thank you Boss, please can you recommend anybody or know Peugeot engineer that has this PP2000 Scanner and skills to trouble shoot the fault within Lagos sir.

chukel:
I like how OP owned up and handled the issue. I will like to be objective here. Truth is that it's responsible and honest to give full disclosure of what you are selling. Even if u wish not to, at least do not lie. My stats may not be accurate, but more than 90% of we tokunbo users drive accident cars. Majority of Nigerians can't afford clean title cars. Of course it will sound crazy buying an 03 corolla for close to 2.8m when you can get it less. Kingreign knows what I'm talking about cos his rx330 was about 1m higher than the normal market price as at the time he bought it. He looked cheated, but he went for clean title. So long as u don't bring in very terrible cars, u don't hide under non disclosure or deceit, I think all will be fine. I also buy from copart. But my clients choose their cars. So they see what it's like before we go ahead. Truth is that most times these accident cars are far more reliable when properly repaired than the seemingly clean ones bought at auction. Tim.ifakay, I Greet you. The wonderful guy saved my ass in ibadan.

Anytime sir.

If i had my way, i would ban all this Japanese cars in Nigeria, they av wasted a lot of souls,
Drive German machines like mercedes and volvo and see how it is easy to survive an accident

If u had my way, I would ban all cars in Nigeria, they have wasted a lot of souls.
Drive cars manufactured only by your citizens when all roads are properly constructed and see how easy it is to avoid accidents.

franugo:
my dad's car is prone to overheating. the level of overheating is mind boggling, you'd fill d tank with water and after driving a little distance, d water would start boiling n would have to be changed. and on n on it goes. the car has been worked on severally but either the mechanics are incompetent or d car is incurable. Please, I need opinions on what could be done to stop the incessant stops n refilling

Vehicle should contain coolant, not water.
As you said the vehicle has been worked on several times, very likely the system has been terribly compromised and every trick in the book tried which will mean a total overall will be necessary to return to factory spec.
What's the vehicle make, model and year?

I want to convert my Car manual window winder to electric/ power winder. Please nairalander, which location can I get it done and how much will it cost me .Thanks

What's your place of residence?

Smartchoices et al. Welcome back.....

As mad as Smartchoices is, he's more intelligent than this guy and has a better command of English too....

So, asking for full disclosure has now turned to fight?

slamstanlee:
some riders are bunch of smart-asses. Again uber/taxify will send the trip history, then you movements would be seen. If they are not pleased, they report you or ask for a fare review...

You would have confessed to not seeing a good enough food outlet once you return to rider.
Nah risk sha.

GAZZUZZ:
Timi you have reach here

Nah you I follow sir. I no want make he be like say nah only you waka come.

slamstanlee:
Some riders can frustrate you ehn....
This one told me she will do a return trip within somolu and i agreed.
I thought she would just be done within a short time...
5mins
10mins
14mins.
I just called her: madam i have waited for so long i think i have to go now

Rider: wait for me please, shebi my trip is still reading?

Me: yea, but i can't wait anymore, waited pass 10mins and that's over the bar for me

Rider: why cant you wait, am i not paying you? Just wait lemme finish. (then she came out)

That's when i realized she was doing her nails stuff.
I just kicked the car, was doing a reverse and ending the trip simultaneously. Then she was shouting: ok how much is the fare? How much?

I shouted back: N600.
I didn't even wait further if she will bring the money. I just zoomed off.
I didn't rate her low, left it at 5star, i didn't report to taxify cos i know i wont get my money.

As i moved like 300 meters away, a request came in and lo: it was her, i didn't accept, i didn't mind if i lose 1% out of 99% activity rate....

Sometimes wait pays after you have done like 15km or more and rider ask for some time so you continue or take them back... I can wait even 30mins for that... Not this type biko...

This got me thinking, what if you claim to wanna go eat while waiting, and ask rider when to come back or call you a few minutes before finishing up... so you just keep driving around the block till rider calls, that way you get fare for distance covered.

LOL..

obekediamondfuto:
Lolz, its actually the gearbox they say! mubbys car is still alright but kingreign nko, has he told u the story of his car? lolz

Nah curse of him Indian girlfriend wey he jilt catch him through that car nah.

This doctor didn't come here to play.
He came to post current pictures only.
And by the time buyer starts hearing a squeak in the engine bay, he or she will replace all suspension parts and still the sound won't go.
In all his replies, he has failed to post the dashboard showing mileage, that when we will know how terrible an hawker he is, he's 7/10 already tho, so I don't expect a current mileage to be more than 100k. He would have removed an equivalent of amount spent to fix car from the odometer...

Oga wants buyer to come and 'see it physically' before answering any questions, as no one can know anything about a car they haven't seen physically.

What are you not understanding??

MILEAGE IS THE KEY!!!

But brother u don't know me so don't count or tag me as one of u or them and that certainly isn't the Eod I posted. Philosophers did say every1 thinks, but not every one reasons.now I really know its true

Prove them wrong by posting a picture of the VIN tag of the EOD you posted.
No one is saying you shouldn't sell accidented cars, just inform the buyer beforehand.

I've a 2010 Honda Pilot. The VTM-4 light started showing suddenly one hot afternoon and I noticed the car became sluggish. Then I also noticed that whenever I off the car and in it again the VTM-4 light would go, after some time it would come on again. I kept using this technique. After about 2 months, the car graduated to misfiring and jerking suddenly when in motion. If I off and on the again it will start working fine. But about 4 days ago I started hearing a particular kind of noise coming from the engine side. And when I put on the car now the VTM-4 light comes on immediately now, it doesn't run for some time before coming on like before. The off and on technique have stopped working too and the movement is bad.

Can all this be solved by just changing this oil? How can this oil be changed? I mean which part of the vehicle or engine requires this oil?

Also how can I get the oil

Thanks.

Scanning and diagnosis first.

Engine noise is different from wheel noise.

thebigkendo:
