Feel obligated to contribute to this thread having experienced Gazzuzz first hand and been in a VERY SIMILAR situation as the complainant. Facts: 1. I was one of the first people to encourage Gazzuzz to come set up shop in Lagos, promising my patronage. (previous posts will confirm) 2. Gazzuzz started rendering free advice and services while still based in the North, hence my encouraging his relocation down here. 3. I trust his competence 100% 4. I began giving him jobs as soon as he relocated (before getting his workshop, he used to fix my car in his house) Experience: Satisfactory. The very first time he came and picked my car overnight, my family was afraid because I had lost my very first car to a mechanic before (kidnapped the vehicle and cannibalized all the new parts I had just bought) Relating to Complainant's Matter: Gazzuzz gave me a quote for parts and I agreed. On my way to the bank to pay, my driver who is a former mechanic offered to get a cheaper quote at same quality. Because I was tight on cash I agreed and informed Gazzuzz that I would only need him to supply half of the parts initially agreed while still carrying out full repairs. Mr. Gazzuzz immediately refused such an arrangement and told me I'd have to buy all the parts if that were the case. I felt momentarily "funny", but didn't argue, took the risk and went ahead with my plans. He continued to liaise with me, and on delivering the parts, rejected some as sub-standard (without sounding condescending, i.e. shebi you wan buy by yourself, you don see am na. [not to say he might not have thought these thoughts or said these words behind my back, but still, very professionally handled with me]) He gave further advice on what I needed, and accepted delivery hours later which he agreed were fine (not as good as he would have gotten, but acceptable).. My car's performance has gone back to optimum, and egos have been managed effectively. Will I be using him again? Absolutely. Will he buy parts for me next time? As long as I am buoyant enough to afford his slightly higher quotes, it is worth the money. I respect his expertise and appreciate my relationship with him which is slowly transcending business alone. His customer service is top notch, and he's been to my HOWEVER, complainant has an EXTREMELY VALID grouse if he feels poorly treated. He may open another thread if he wants Gazzuzz to address this. I do not subscribe to blind support of important personalities while shutting down less-prominent people without properly listening and fully understanding situations (impossible when you weren't present and have no background to work with), because misunderstandings are exactly what they are, "MISUNDERSTANDINGS", i.e. nobody is completely right or wrong, it is all about individual perspectives borne out of individual experiences. We can all learn from other people's tales. Salute. 26 Likes 7 Shares |

missKiffy:I just taya! ![]() Or better still, Rebadu (abi Ribadu), you learn Mechanic work. ![]() It's, meanwhile, advisable to know a few things about the mechanism of the car you drive. Some people, when their cars stop on the road, even without checking to see if it's fuel or battery, they'll start calling for Mechanics. These mechanics are very smart, when they notice that you have no clue about anything, they'd sell Pomo to you in the name of Turkey. And you'd buy. It's always nice to have some idea; no matter how little. 5 Likes 1 Share |

mayor2013: What are you saying , so he should either go and buy parts alone without Gazzuz and be sold fake or substandard parts or he gives Gazzuz money to buy the parts for him without him being there ? Won't Gazzuz collect money for the labour or will should he let Gazzuz further dupe him by adding additional cost to the parts he's buying. If Gazzuz is serious about working with him let them both go to buy the parts and fix it afterwards. What is the difference between Gazzuz and any other roadside mechanic with this stunt he's trying to pull 1 Like |

femi4: Look, I know this is not my business, but to be successful with whatever u do depends on the way u package urself. I don't know gazzuzz and I'm not here to take sides. Aim big and u become big, aim small u remain small. I still repeat, no professional will ask his client to follow him to get parts. It means u don't trust him and u can go ahead take ur job somewhere else. If u take ur car to honda place or elizade or automaze and they give u a quotation, would u follow them to get the parts? Definitely NO. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
