Car Talk / Five Ways Your Mechanics Can Rip You Off. by akpanikpe(m): 12:48am On Aug 02, 2015 |
Some mechanics are quarks, others are just ‘legit thieves’. Either way you don’t want to be in business with any of the two types of mechanic. This two types of mechanic can frustrate us. Here are the top five ways your mechanic can rip you off. If any of this has happened to you before, then its time to change mechanic 1.Charging for unnecessary repairs. I often hear that a mechanic diagnosed a problem, repaired it and – surprise, surprise – the problem was still there. They then re-diagnose it as a different problem and repair that. Sometimes, this repeats as the mechanic conducts the Ship of Theseus paradox in real life. Eventually, the mechanic repairs the original defect but charges the customer for all the repairs. As your gut is telling you, the mechanic shouldn’t charge the customer for the earlier, unnecessary repairs. 2.Overcharging for parts or labor. Most shops have a simple markup on parts. They buy them wholesale, mark them up and sell them to you with the job. The problem is that few people know what an actual part should cost. They also charge an outrageous amount for labor. 3.Misdiagnosing something that is not faulty. Sometimes to pad their bills, mechanics will tell a customer non-defective parts need to be replaced. Your brakes need to be resurfaced? They’ll tell you to get them replaced. Other parts on the car can be repaired? They’ll suggest replacement. Like unnecessary repairs, unneeded parts being sold to you is also illegal in Michigan and many other states. 4.Joyriding your car. This goes on more often than you want to know. Does every mechanic joyride the car after a repair? No. But this is one of the things we are really learning more about with the advent of dash cameras. The problem is that if you catch the mechanic doing this and your car is undamaged, it is hard to get compensated for it. Damaging your car while they have it. Besides the accidents while joyriding, I’ve heard of other stuff happening to customer cars while they are being “repaired.” Grease on the seats, mysterious dents in body panels. Parts left off the car. Tools left in the car (doesn’t damage the car but it does say something about the mechanic who worked on your car). Again, if it happened while they had your car, it’s on them. 5.Stealing from your car. I’ve heard of all kinds of things being stolen from customer cars while the cars were in for service. Everything from change in the ashtray to a wallet from the car while the customer was talking to the service writer. Stereos being pried from dashboards. Or customers who find performance parts removed from their engines. Cool wheels often disappear. Shops often ask customers to file insurance claims on these. But – as you might guess – that’s not how this goes. The shop is on the hook since they had control and possession of your car. We’ve covered this before. So, if you have been ripped off by a mechanic in other ways apart from these write a comment. www.wheelsng.com/2015/07/five-ways-your-mechanics-can-rip-you-off/ |

Fashion / Fashion Or Madness? Man Rocks The Most Expensive Shoes In The World Worth $2.2m( by akpanikpe(m): 2:47pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
Carey worth $510 m, but Nick Cannon had all eyes on his feet at America's Got Talent last night when he stepped out in $2.2million diamond encrusted shoes. And they are not borrowed or for advert, he actually owns it...Top Beverly Hills jeweller Jason Arasheben, who created the shoes, told Women's Wear Daily: 'Not very often do I get a request for the most expensive shoes in the world.When Nick approached me last year, he said he wanted to make history and be so over the top.He wanted to set a new standard in diamonds. 'How can we make the most expensive pair of shoes in the world and make this finale special?' he asked me.We didn’t want him looking like Frankenstein when he walked, we still needed to consider functionality.He’s not going to win a race or play basketball with these. It’s still a piece of jewelry. As long as he’s not too overly aggressive in the shoes, everything should be all right.'

Romance / Lovers Found Dead In The Hostel After Using Sex Enhasing Drugs. (picture) by akpanikpe(m): 9:29am On Jun 12, 2015 |
Two students, a male and female of a University in Anambra State (name withheld), have reportedly died in a hostel room located near the school. The female student is from Imo State. She visited her male boyfriend and they went in together on Saturday but never woke up until their doors were forced open by the police after a neighbor raised the alarm. The male student was 300level student of public administration. They allegedly died after s*x romp and their neighbors never knew until their bodies started decomposing. The guy allegedly drugged the girl to have access to free s*x which resulted to her death and he equally took the pills and lay beside her. Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) from Awkuzu removed both bodies and deposited then at an undisclosed morgue. The Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO), DSP Uche Ezeh while reacting to the incident said investigations were ongoing to ascertain the veracity of the case but confirmed the incident while charting with Daily Independent Metro. -DailyIndependent
