Kazeem Almost Made Me Get A New Brainbox For My Car by reverendfather: 5:01pm On Nov 21, 2023 |
I have a Nissan Altima 2002, it suddenly started to misfire and rough idle aka vibrating hard when idle. I knew something was off, first texhnician said I should just keep on using it like that, that it will get better with time, that it's nothing major. I finally found a Said Nissan expert who said my car had issues with my first ignition coil that it needed to be worked on, I took it back to him the next day and the car was rough idling and was hard starting. Baba started to test all my coils again, before you know it, he tore open my dashboard and carried on with the testing and finally concluded that my brain box was not supplying current that I needed to buy a new brainbox and then bring it for him to install alongside with his friend who will do the programming for me. Everything was going to cost me roughly 140,000naira I ran to nairaland to lay complaint and someone suggested ebay, I jumped on ebay and Saw a programmed model for 350,000niara. A friend now suggested we check out another technician So we went back to Igun in Benin and found a certain young man, he was very learned, but seemed to be a man of few words, we explained how the car was acting up and then he popped the hood open and told me to start the car, he did some testing and three minutes later told me to give his boy 3,000naira to get new coil socket plugs, which I did, he installed two new ones and removed the old ones. And then told me to start the car again and boom, everything was back to normal. I ended up spending less than 10k, I've been cruising my ride since morning o. God saved me from the hands of kazeem today. 4 Likes |

My brother, also had the same issue with my Kia Rio 2013 model. Rough idling and won't fire smoothly. Called a guy who goes around with fancy gadgets and boasting how he resolved issues on Maybach and BMW cars. He claimed I need to change my brainbox. I sought another opinion from another tech guy who diagnosed the car and only changed the plugs. I am having the cruise of my life. Since then, when I see the olodo Maybach guy I de sorry for anyone who allows him touch their vehicle. 1 Like |

Funny enough they might actually know what to do but they just wanna extort you....imagine you had given him the 140k to fix, he would have pretended he bought another brainbox whereas he might as well have gotten the sockets and then pocketed the change...sometimes they might actually know the solution but they just wanna extort you of your hard earned money |
