I gave my Corolla to a painter sometime in September/October.

While the car was with him, it apparently got flooded and water entered the gear. After picking it up, less than 5 minutes later, the car stopped entering gear and I had to tow it back to the painter. He brought a mechanic who 'serviced' the gear. And then they drained the oil and replaced it a couple of times.

Since then sha, I've had to drain and replace gear oil about 3/4 times. The car will be fine and then after awhile, it will just stop entering gear. I had to push it back home on Sunday.

Does anybody know what could be wrong with it? Also, can you recommend a good gear mechanic on the island? The car isn't even moving at the moment

This is the reason why my car will never stay overnight in a mechanic's hand... In fact sef, the car won't leave my sight while at a mechanic's

That was how I went to do body paint on my car... Mecho told me it will take 2 days... That he will have to strip the vehicle to paint everywhere..

I quickly told him to just respray the outside of the car with the same color it had on it.... Me I can't come and hear that after scattering the car and putting it back together, my poor car will suddenly lack manners like a Marlian grin

I took the car to the painter's early the next morning which was a Saturday... I stayed there all through until he finished painting the car by 3pm....I can live with a bit rough paint, not messed up performance.

Took my car for Oil change and the stupid mechanic drove my car to a wedding party behind my house... when I saw the car i call him and he refused to pick my calls, I waited for him at the spot and collect my Keys...
