Birdbyrde440: Always diagnose the car first before calling a mechanic. Those Lasisi and Kabiru mechanics hate their colleagues with auto-diagnostic machine, because those ones will soon put them out of jobs. Any mechanic or car electrician without diagnostic machine is 100% into trial-and-error. They will kill your car. Many mechanics in my area don't greet me. They damaged my first car, when I bought a new one, I made it clear they wouldn't be touching the car, and I warned them never to touch my car anywhere they are called by my electrician to come work on it. My first car taught me a lesson about dubious mechanic behaviours, and that has kept my new car going without issues for 3 years now. Just like medical lab test is important for human health before therapy, car diagnostics is very important for car health. Insist on diagnostics first. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Oneday82:hahahahahahahahah.....abeg pity the mechanic. The first thing I did, even before I bought my first car years ago, was to buy a small, portable car diagnostic device. Not the big type, the one that comes with a mobile app and connects to phone through bluetooth 6 Likes |

Re: How My Mechanic Tried To Ruin My Car... by gonkin(m): 4:12pm On Dec 14, 2023 |
Ive been using my vehicle for 5 years now. The only time another hand has touched it was when i had a leak in my evaporator and when i had an accident in 2019. Other than those i do everything myself. Gasket, prop shafts and seals brakes down to power window motors, lightings, relay, Efi, fuel flow. I also have ih8mud forums to thank for the really complex stuff. The components i cant repair like clogged radiator i take it out and give someine to clean up. My car has never slept in a workshop. My car is an fj80 landcruiser. Very rare |
