mabeni: enlighten me before I make mistake please I got a Nigeria used 03 corolla on H.P at 1.9m. Vehicle is okay except the fact that recently, it shortens engine oiland when the owner called in a mechanic, the mec adviced him to ring it. We asked if ringing it would solve the problem and for how long... He replied ''it depends on the mec doing the job and the type of rings used '' that he would use original Ring and it would last nothing less than a year. Note: the owner bought it Nigeria used, I have driven it for 6 month and about 3 others have also driven it for e-hailling before me but I don't know how long. Here are my worries : *is taking an engine ringed car at 1.9m sensible? *would it serve me ? ,*what are the disadvantages ringing a car engine Also note that the mechanic bought the original ring of 35k. not sensible, run away 1 Like |

So, you have been hearing of how Uber drivers make 150k weekly and as the economy tight, you thought of how you can key in and make extra bucks. So you live at Gbagada and work at VI, you drive to your office by 6:30am and driver picks it up and returns it either at VI for you to come back with or at your house at Gbagada after you joined a colleague back home. Sound and fine.
But the model of the business shows that drivers make most money from 5am to 10am and from 4pm to 10pm. Are you aware that VI is an office environment and there are practically no requests from there by 6:30am in the morning. So your would be driver will transport himself to VI in the morning, pick your car and drive to Lekki area, pay toll gate to pick a rider. In the evening, he picks up a rider going to Ajah or Egbeda by 5pm, do you know how long that trip will last before he returns your car and at how much weekly returns? Be ready for stories, defaults, and above all the aging of your car in a very short while. You don't need to be angry at the comments, your model will not favour any driver. Remember he too has obligations.
Free advise, hold your car or look for weekend drivers only, so that you can go to work on weekdays with your car. Alternatively give your car out on full rental and collect 30/35k weekly and use Uber/Taxify in the mornings. Na so! 2 Likes |

(3) Vehicle History: Through our online platform (IOS/ANDROID APPS) , you can view where your car had been between DAY X and DAY Y. A plot is shown on a map showing your car’s movement over this period of time.
(4) Remotely Stop Your Car: With our security GPS tracker, you are able to stop your car from ANY PHONE with an sms command. This function can also be carried out through our online platforms.
(5) Geo-Fencing Alarm:If your car goes beyond set a radius (or multi-point), say Lagos, you will be notified by sms.
(6) Other alarms (Over-speed Alarm, Ignition On Alarm, Low Battery Alarm ): Over-speed alarms notifies you via sms when your car goes beyond a particular speed. Ignition on notifies you WHENEVER your car is started. Low Battery Alarm lets you know when your car battery is low.
(7) Daily Mileage report (online platform): Daily mileage report shows you a daily chart (in KM) of your car.
We have heard of one or two expereience of how clients were able to recover their vehicles BECAUSE THEY HAD A TRACKER INSTALLED IN IT. We will be sharing some of them with you based on TRUE LIFE EXPERIENCES.

WE ARE THE ONLY COMPANY THAT OFFERS FREE LIFETIME ACCESS TO OUR ONLINE PLATFORMS FOR MONITORING/STOPpING YOUR CAR.
YOU'VE SPENT QUITE MUCH TO ACQUIRE YOUR CAR, SECURE IT WITH A TRACKER. BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY
Story 1 During one of our installs, the client shared with us how Mr Ayo (not his real name) borrowed his brothers car, and waylaid in the night somewhere in Lagos. Unknown to the thieves, the car had a tracker in it. That same night they tracked the vehicle to a military baracks (apparenntly the thieves had accomplices with military connections). They went with the police and they were able to recover the car (THE DEMOBILIZE FUNCTION OF THE TRACKER WAS USED TO ENSURE THE CAR DID NOT MOVE UNTIL THEY GOT TO THAT LOCATION)...
Story 2 Mr Bayo was bout entering his car in the night somewhere in Lagos when he was attacked. He immediately used his phone to demobilize the car some minutes after they had zoomed away with the car. The thieves ran away when they discovered the car wasn't strating again. The car was tracked to Ajah. Apparently the thieves ran away in fear with the keys of the car ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png)

I started noticing oil shortage recently, is it still safe to continue with the oil any advise. what is quartz 7000?
Quartz 7000 is 15w50 engine oil, it is also semi synthetic meaning part mineral part synthetic. Research has shown that it is usually a not more than 30per-70per mix (30per synthetic) sadly you have used the wrong grade of oil over extended mileages and your piston rings and valve stem seals have paid the price. Engine will require an overhaul with original parts. I am almost certain engine has developed sludge also.

Got a late night trip to VI and I was already too tired to drive home so I slept in the car. Woke up around 4:00am and switched on my app and after like 20mins I got a request. Me: Good morning Sir, You requested taxify..... Rider: yes, pls come to ..... I'm going to the airport. Me: okay, I'll be there right away. Rider: when you get here, you'd have to walk around and wash your face with water cos I know you're sleeping from your voice. Me: I have been awake for a while but ok till I come. I got to pick up and rider was like Oga oya come let's pace around cos I know you can't cheat nature and dis your work is not easy. I walked around then washed my face with water, rider also got gum and engaged me in conversation till we got to destination. If you ask me I'd say this rider had an encounter with a driver who was sleeping while driving. 30 Likes |
