Car Talk › Re: Conversion From Auto To Manual Transmission - Highlander 2004 by valarinz:
All of you asking him to sell, olx and so on, you'll still be the first to rush to nairaland to open threads on how car dealers are wicked and sell lemons and scrap cars bla bla bla

Why is it that it's only when your cars develop issue then you think of selling, covertly transferring the issues you fear cannot be resolved to an unsuspecting buyer

Is it a surprise most of you also doubt it when you're told by a dealer that a car is "buy & Drive" cos you know within yourself that you have the attitude of selling issues to people and driving on when the car is fine

Pls change this attitude of looking for who to transfer problems to, when your car has issues stop being wicked and looking for who to buy it, try to find a lasting solution, if you want to sell afterwards fine

Tnx

Dear Gazzuzz,
I want to u to know that everything is a learning experience.
customers are customers for who they are, some difficult , others easy.

u can take a lesson from today experience.
for example , when u have a troubleshooting that requires high financial outlay, u may let the customer know that u are proffering Long term solution, & then link customer up with someone who does do quick fixes, if u are able to judge customer is not able to take ur option.
Nothing has taken ur reputation , just be conscious of how u may handle diff cases.

dear valvariz, your explanation is okay as ur aim was to point out different approach customers may want in solving his her problem,

please let us not assume DAT because a customer bought a car u term expensive, he or she has more funds at his disposal,
some buy their "dream car" with "all they have" others can afford without a sweat, remember fingers are not equal.
dear airex, while it's okay to be dissatisfied and feel bad about a service, the approach does matter, everyone of us are into one service/product or the other, u can not be 100% every time.
u should have just brought the issue to gazzuzz, stating what u went thru without coloring the issue so that the person can take a professional re-look of his action, explain why he took that decision and offer professional apology for not being able to meet ur need.

regards
Another smart and intelligent NLer, this looks good, all hope is not lost then. Tnx

Ok, Abuja get many reliable Volvo mech, I was based there before I moved to lag, as regards performance, you can't go wrong with an S60(2000-2008 model, from experience) or the XC90(5cyl preferably if it's 06 and below), can't say much for the other models

The cars are undoubtedly reliable, no need for any doubts, as for mechanics, if you're residing in one of the major cities, you're safe, but if you reside in states like yobe, zamfara....... angry

When GAZZUZZ bought a car in no-start condition what did he do?
He bought new engine and transmission! Look here for confirmation: https://www.nairaland.com/3864550/vehicle-2009-honda-accord-ex-l
This shows he is practicing what he preaches without sentiments.
And why u come dey add me for the list na oga, have I said that anyone doesn't practice what they preach here? Or does it sound very weird for you to see someone have a different opinion from yours?

What are you saying? Did gazzuz at anytime tell u he collected money or asked for a deposit..did u not read where he told u told he gave a long term solution not a temporary one. Note the following
* car was imported in a non start condition
* cars engine had already been opened n obviously worked on before it could be driven in a rattling condition to gazzuz .

I have faced which such decision bro of having to change a broken piston in my engine ...which would have lasted mayb a year or more and buying a new engine ....I chose the latter even if it was more expensive...I am not regretting that decision today and it been 3yrs now....@airex gazzuz made his judgement as a professional it was a choice for u to agree or go for a cheaper option ...it does not warrant u coming here to tarnish his image...trust me any competent mechanic even after fixing and servicing the car would still tell u that the engine should still be changed...I'm a proffesional at what I do so I stand with gazzuz on this one .....Note that this is not a case of fraud but a case of Making the best choice
Now I'm relieved, there are actually NLers who are devoid of emotion and see this thing exactly the way it is: choice

Only sad thing is that after making the choice to go for a cheaper fix, calling someone a blockhead is what I no longer understand

Except of course he's saying gazzuzz didn't give him the option of the cheaper fix or he didn't want to do the cheaper fix for him. In that case, it's still gazzuzz's choice not to go that route, still don't see how that makes him a blockhead

Tnx

See the bolded. No wonder u sell craps. You have no conscience. Someone like u, all they sell is patched up vehicle, without regard for safety (Cityhood brother).
What is this one saying again, someone imported car by himself and opted not to change engine but "patch" it. His car, his money, his choice and you're here trying so hard to link me to the car(did he tell I sold it to him?) Pls go and download some sense na

You think using cityhood name to threaten shakes me? Go to hell bro, stop bringing up personal attacks, everyone is making inputs on the subject matter, but as you have nothing meaningful to contribute, you're looking for who to exchange words with you, asslicker,

Someone who can afford to import a Lexus Rx350 is not managing his life; if he can't do proper repairs, he's living a fake life.
First he repaired the no-start condition car to start working, but it wasn't working properly, then he wanted to make it work properly and it was recommended that he should do what he should have done before the first repair was carried out- which is to change engine.

I'm pretty sure the total amount he spent on that car would exceed a third of what replacing the engine will cost and he can't get as much a third of the life span of a good replacement tokunboh engine.
I agree with you on the part about how much he spent on the car, I also believe the 50k is a very big exaggeration to score cheap points too, definitely spent more than that.

But as regards engine longevity?? Bros leave that story, no one can tell how long an engine can last, there's a lot of contributing factors. Besides, everyone is not a collector or car enthusiast, what you call a not-so-smooth performing engine is what someone else might drive comfortably for the next five years, so long as it gets him from point A to B.

We buy cars to serve us and not the other way round, so long as the car is giving him what he needs for now,let him be, that excess cash if invested in biz can generate multiple income even before the engine eventually gives in, when it does, my opinion

Modified: as I saw you've modified your post in which I quoted, I'll modify mine accordingly

I used the laptop case as an eg to illustrate the fact that not everyone is a car guru who knows every detail of their car, just as I don't know what a laptop interior even looks like. All I need to hear from my laptop engineer is that he'll fix my issue and when its done I keep using my laptop, many peeps are like that with cars too

The tyre analogy too was used to demonstrate that it's all about choice when it comes to these things, you can either decide to patch or replace, your choice, if a vulcaniser gives me the impression the only thing to be done is buy new tyres, I have the choice of dumping him for someone who'll do my patch and I move on

Hope u get my point now, tnx

** i personally do nt think he has anymore explanation to do sir, because he said d car is already fixed, by nt following ur own diagnosis bt someone else's..
** and sir u call n estimated expenses of over half a million, scribbling down, when dealing wit such money they r no jokes or mere scribbling down, is either u r in or out.
** legally with just a date and signature of both parties and paid written, it becomes legally an invoice also known as an handwritten riciept,

Thanks sir..
You see, this is why I warned airex to be careful how he states his case here cos it s just like playing against barca at the nou camp,

For all of you saying he should state his case and he's done so, the defence builds his case on "rattling sound, direct connection" and a long list of other items, and you're asking airex to come and give "more explanations", Abeg which other explanations are you expecting, or is it cos you all know that when it comes to knowing cars systems and make up, gazzuzz will always have the upper hand

And you want him to come and attempt to take on him and be disgraced, bottom line is he took the car to get solutions and wasn't satisfied with what he got and he took it elsewhere and got the problem resolved to his satisfaction

Does that warrant him coming here to call someone "blockhead", definitely NO, is that enough reason to attempt to go on a smear campaign, also No and definitely uncalled for

But for all of you calling him out for wanting a cheap fix for his car, as you all are dangote, let him be managing his life like that, his main argument is that he was asked to pay over 600k for something he got done for below 50k, it's all about the money, else why will some one even import a non-starter car in the first place. If I have a nail puncture my tyre and I know I can't afford to replace it asap and I see the patch and can be fixed, and I take it to a vulcaniser to get it patched so I can drive home first and replace later, and the vulcaniser tell me he won't patch and only recommends a new tyre and I go down and get it done at the next vulvanizer and go home, where's the crime in that?

If my laptop gets faulty for eg, and I take it to fix, mostly I pay the engineer to fix it and whatever English he speaks as the issue with the laptop can't be verified by me as I know little of the components of a laptop, so you don't expect me to come home and give you details of what the laptop engineer did, bottom line is: he fixed the laptop, case closed, for those of you who think cos you're in car industry you know things and everyone else who can't explain his car in details is a fool, then keep it up, tnx

Here is a question for all.
Do you think the previous owner would have sold car as scrap or insurance company would accept it and give owner claim then auction off as scrap or at salvage value if a proper repair would cost less than $200?

Also he hasn't told us the first procedure and cost which was done to make the car start and move while engine was rattling. I think he needs to state that as well so we really know all that's happened to the vehicle.

Or mechanics in the US don't know how to change fuel pump and do general service as stated by Airex?
Bros, did I miss out on something here? Can't remember seeing anywhere the guy stated that he imported it as scrap, or is it the "non-starter" state it came in as that made u assume it's scrap? I'm asking this cos if that's the case then I must say you got it wrong, I've witnesses multiple cases where non-starter cars imported got up and running as a result of change of minor things like the fuel pump he mentioned

And as regards the "General service" tag, don't you know that's what majority of mechanics just tell customers so they won't actually know exactly what it was that was worked on, to enable them charge well. Most hardly give you details like telling you they cleaned the nozzles with carb cleaner for eg, cos you'll want to pay little, they'll tell you "oga , we service the engine"

Valarinz, what are u trying to drive at? This is the second time u are throwing shades at GAZZUZZ on this thread. Lemme guess, he advised someone not to buy a ride from u after he did a check up and found it not to be okay like u claimed. Bro, u better grow up. Countless peeps here can attest to GAZZUZZ being good at what he does bt what we like about him more, is his honesty. I can drive my vehicle to GAZZUZZ shop and travel to abroad and wait for him to send my bill and i pay without asking a question, u know why? That's how honest he is. I don't believe he is perfect dou, bt wen u have anything against someone, come out and stop hiding behind d curtain, coward.

For ur info, we are not myopic and biased like u think. If not many people will still be standing on this NL, aieromon is a witness. Provide ur evidence and people who don't even know anyone of u guys will be d judge... Peace out
Pls don't try to derail the thread, the person you're fighting for is reading and ignoring, pls follow suit, stop the eye service,

It's either the airex guy says something or apologise and that's my stance, anything else, I won't reply u anymore, tnx

Modified: now airex has made his case, watch how the accused will come and respond with his own side of facts too, devoid of emotions and name calling which you're currently displaying, which is exactly what its supposed to be

Some of we Nigerians should just slow it down with the way we worship our fellow humans, no one is infallible. We worship our leaders, pastors, politicians, and later we turn around to complain they're not serving us well

Be careful bro, the Nigga you're squaring up against is like a mini-god to most peeps here waiting to judge, it's just like playing against barca at the camp nou, you have to be well prepared cos even the ref na barca fan

That said, I feel say the time and space you used to type this your short epistle don do to at least narrate the allegations you have, let the match kick off

Failure to do so, simply means you had no case In the first place and owes him an apology for character defamation, you know this NL reputation means a lot to the bros

Do you have to warn my clients to be extra vigilant when buying from me? Don't I already ask them to do that? Don't you see this line in my ads : "Vehicle must be physically inspected and verified before any form of payment", or what do you suppose it means.

Have you ever heard of technicians in Naija fixing engine after some months, it how's back to its former defective state? Rather than fix an engine and waste money and time yet it goes back to square 1, its better to replace the engine and have peace of mind.

Same thing occurs when you have low compressions, and other anomaly with an engine. Or can the client waste over 700k to buy OEM Rings and other items from abroad and then rebuild an engine which costs 4-500k?
The Nigga didn't say his engine was bad, he pointed out the inability to get the fault with his car detected, instead a shortcut solution to change engine was proferred

That's exactly why I had to advice him on where to look next time, being in this car biz I can confidently say this again, if you have a nagging issue with your ride and you need someone to calm down and detect the issue for you, then avoid celebrity mechanics, they almost always look for easy way out for themselves cos they don't have to stress to get clients anymore

I've experienced this time and time again to be sure of what I'm saying, and even at times when I haven't learnt the lesson and went ahead with the engine change, problem will still persist, that's when I'll now have to get someone to cool down and trace the issue, which in one case was just a wrongly fixed coil(two coils wrongly interchanged with each other) and I've already bought engine.
