Help! My Mechanic Is Driving Me CRAZY by robedu: 10:09am On Jun 02, 2015 |
I drive toyota avensis 2007. And my mechanic is making life a living hell for me, when the car has issue, most times i cannot be repaired once, he will repair the first, bring it and the same thing will happen and he will do it again, sometimes it takes up to 3 to 4 times to get one issue resolved. The one that happen now is so annoying, last week the car accelerator at some point will not move fast even if you press with all your power and finally it will stop. and then i will start it again. My Mechanic came to pick it up, fix it and bring it for me on Sunday and on Monday the same thing happen. Will i ever be able to get a good mechanic to help me out on a low budget. i am so tired, im even crying 4 Likes 1 Share |

If u want ur car to be fixed on lower budget then u need to endorse the act of DIY. I'm not saying u should turn to a mechanic, but u should at least have basic knowledge on how ur car works. U can't just drop ur car with a mechanic and he brings it back to u without u knowing what was wrong with it, what he fixed or changed. Also get urself a scanner, there are cheap ones that are less than 10k. Get the codes and start troubleshooting from there. U said ur car is giving problems. What did the mechanic tell u was wrong with the car? How do I expect people to help with limited information? 38 Likes |

@coldplay007 I actually wouldn't recommend gazzuzz to anybody, dude is quite petty.

@coldplay007 I actually wouldn't recommend Gazzuzz to anybody, dude is quite petty. I had contacted him about my car, drove all the way from Surulere to Ogba on Saturday, he told me my engine would need to be replaced I heeded his counsel asked him to get me costing. On getting to His place today with plans of dropping off my car to return tomorrow for us to go get an Engine, dude started catching feelings, telling me "I should go look for a roadside mechanic who I will follow to the market to buy parts" for crying out loud we are talking of Engine replacement why shouldn't I be involved in the procurement process, even if I'm coming as a silent observer. Gazzuzz bluntly told me I should go back with my vehicle, just because I asked to go pick up my Engine with him. Saying I was disappointed is a huge understatement. Nonetheless I'm glad it happened at this point, not when I have invested my scarce resources and he starts to bring up shitty attitude. Same way I trusted my car to Qualityovenbake on Nairaland and he did a messed up job, coupled with the fact that he was way behind schedule. 27 Likes 5 Shares |

robedu: Always be there with the mechanic when he fixes your car, those mechanics are hardly and never honest. They cause more problems for you instead of solving any. Better still, change your mechanic asap. 1 Like |

Re: Help! My Mechanic Is Driving Me CRAZY by mayor2013: 8:24am On Jun 03, 2015 |
hoodboy: I believe there are 2 sides to this 1) go to the market yourself without the help of gazzuzz and buy the engine yourself since you wanna be involved 2 ) Gazzuzz helps with the buying of the engine and he fully takes responsible for whatever happens since he is buying with all the experience he has on the field As for number 1 would you want a situation where you go a bad engine believing its ok only for it to be installed and it happens to be a bad one. If the later comes into play are you gonna pay for a second installment if you are billed cos we talkn about man power here and technicality 1 Like |

mayor2013: @mayor, why will I go by myself to get the Engine, He had giving me a cost for his workmanship which i didn't even challenge or try to Haggle. Was it wrong for me to assume we were going to go get the Engine togeteher, Is it not even advisable to do so. The annoying thing is immediately I told him this, he just told me to leave with my vehicle, saying he wasn't a road side mechanic that i'll be following to get parts. Even when I tried to even reconsider my position (not like i was vehement about it sef) He kept cuting calls and not picking. I left my house as early as 6am, if not for anything, you'd consider the stress. Granted, he told me he was under the weather, but his actions are still inexcusable. Not like I'm ever going to seek his help again, but I hope he changes. This same dude I had patronised on Sunday by paying for a scan, just to establish an initial relationship. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

doroboss: Try to Understand him clearly, he wants to go with the mechanic to get the Engine, I don't see anything wrong. It is the proper thing to do. I would do same if i were in his shoes, atleast to know what I'm paying for and know it is genuine. So when it faults, I know where to go. 42 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Help! My Mechanic Is Driving Me CRAZY by abatically(m): 9:06am On Jun 03, 2015 |
DECOtech: The story is transparent enough. Some mechanics don't allow customers go with them to buy an engine which is understandable. Gazzuzz admitted that. Some customers can be very funny when they follow a mechanic to buy parts, they always have this thing behind their mind that they are being cheated which could be embarrassing. Afterall, u can't take ur car to Honda place or automedics and tell them u want to go with them to get parts. Just pay the fare and let them do their job, if u are not OK with that then take ur car elsewhere, simple. I personally do not follow my mechanic to buy parts, either I give him money to get it for me or I go get it myself. 13 Likes |
Re: Help! My Mechanic Is Driving Me CRAZY by abatically(m): 9:13am On Jun 03, 2015 |
justi4jesu: U are right. But when u take ur car places like automedics or Honda place, do u also follow them to get parts? It is a simple policy, if someone says u can't follow them to get parts, there are 2 choices. Either u accept, or u disagree and take ur car elsewhere. It doesn't mean the mechanic is a bad person. 5 Likes 1 Share |

@abatically, even when I had tried to reconsider my position, he just shut me out and wasn't ready to listen. Note, I wasn't even insisting on following him, he just turned me back immediately I mentioned it. Even when I said fine no problem, he was not even ready to budge, that kain shakara on money I'm going to spend, haba 16 Likes |

justi4jesu: What's your profession? Is that how you allow your clients to follow you about to get materials needed for a job. No professional does that. Even here @ Bosch PTY no 1 does that. If you wnat to follow its better you go all by yourself. Why can't you put on your overhaul as well to say you want to work with him in fixing the said part(s) as well ![]() 4 Likes |

I am not here to defend anyone, just know that no professional would allow a client to go with him to get the materials he needs for a job... no professional does that these days. Maybe gazzuzz was in a bad mood that day, or maybe that's just how he is.. that I do not know. Let's just move on... hope u have fixed ur car. 1 Like |
