Abudu2000: The difference between being illiterate and being a mechanic is as much as the difference between being stu.pid and being wise. Only a stu.pid person will equate being a mechanic to being an illiterate.

My Car was not shifting well and the gear was slipping. I told a kazeem and he suggested I changed gear box which would cost 180k . But After a little research online, I took the car and did a total transmission flush and replaced oil. The issue stopped magically. I hate kazeems. They need to be crucified. 8 Likes 1 Share |

My car started stalling as if I have dead plugs. I took it to a Kazeem to check the plugs, he said the issue is not the plugs but the fuel pump. Told him to check the two then he changed fuel pump. Lo and behold, As I was driving back to work, car started stalling again! At the end, we changed plugs and everything is fine! 4 Likes |

When I first got my car, I didn't know it has been kazeemised already. So on one particular day I returned from a short drive, I parked the car, off the engine and removed the key. I stepped out of the car and slammed the door. You can't imagine what happen! The ignition came on that is, fans started working with dashboard lights while the key was on my palm. The vehicle wasn't using remote control so I won't say someone was playing pranks on me. I was like wow! Incredible. 8 Likes |

SIRKAY98: I had exactly this same problem . I visited so many experts who come on radio to discuss auto issue but they only speak grammar. Thank God I was able to meet a mechanic that collected only 8k to fix a problem that nearly made me go for another engine. He scanned the car. Got all the codes and brought out his other laptop and clicked on application that brought out the diagram of my car . As he was looking at it he was writing out his report as if he is a medical doctor. At the end he discovered my caterlist , temperature sensor, the two oxygen sensor are bad and also he changed the plugs. . That was how my car remained calm and all problems disappeared till date. I call him car doctor. May God bless Mr Adebayo the mechanic 6 Likes 1 Share |

PoisonedOne: The fuse box has been terribly abused. I have to change the whole thing. Though it slept at the Kazeem rewire for 2day cos after toying with the fuse box another problem started. the car couldn't start easily anymore and when it started, the sound wasn't normal. After the second day, another rewire came and pressed down one particular fuse under the dashboard area. Like magic, the motor roared back to life . Since then I have fell in love with this particular Kazeem. I changed the complete fusebox afterward. 2 Likes |
