Beware Of Fradulent Mechanics by gummi21: 8:06pm On May 11, 2019 |
Beware of these so called mechanics. Everyone thinks just politicians are corrupt, but corruption is found virtually everywhere... As for me I just paid him 20k which is just peanut but for others it is not...I am just worried he is doing it to people and extort hard earned money from them... My Hyundai Tucson 2.7 Awd which I use when I am around mostly for 2-3wks at a time ..car arrived in Nigeria dec 2017 very low mileage 9000km...car is in fantastic good shape. Car had been parked since Jan 4...My friend drove the car a week ago and noticed it does not roar from gear 1...lacks power but when it moves it picks up even no issues when in motion and again hard start when hot...we all thought maybe plugs...fuel pump...etc Fastforward mechanic scanned it and sent me this report..[img][/img]first pciture .and told me he fixed the error codes...(yes he said he did)Hahaaaaaa...fixed the gear and movement issues Haha.. he got another error codes yes to fix the hard starting this second picture [img][/img]...Haha.. My sister who took the car to mechanic told me the issue might really be wiring issues because rat ate some wires close to fuse box... Now I started noticing some inconsistencies and took closer look at the reports he sent... Vin numbers don't match. He sent me two different car reports..my sister confirmed those two cars in the reports are right there...i asked for report which has my cars vin ...he couldn't give me any report with my vin. The problem with the car was that wires bridged causing the car into safe mode that made the car slow start because it moves with third gear...hard start when hot is simply the computer protecting the engine. This mechanic wanted 45k for all his work...Haha yes all his work.. 4 Likes 1 Share

asamwababy:I am not sure. Maybe he is...my intension are to share my story...people need to ensure they get accurate scanning reports...I didn't meet the mechanic in person. We spoke through phone .my sister took the car to him |

Daviestunech: My brother you are very correct.. At least 80% of them are corrupt..... Mechanics and a manager almost run me out of uber business... a lot of them don't know poo ...but luckily for me now I have a good mechanic now from Togo ...... But if people take the time to learn the simple basics of car maintenance, I can assure you that trips to the mechanic shop will be less frequent ....a lot of people on forum unfortunately and fortunately are at the Mercy of a mechanic... 3 Likes |

This is the simple reason I am not an advocate, for this vehicle parking investment...... If one stays in a state with Uber or Bolt, they are a cheaper/better alternatives......... |

Re: Beware Of Fradulent Mechanics by legalwealth(m): 8:30pm On May 16, 2019 |
gummi21: Please ignore them! They are just catching fun plus they can as well be very irritating, stinking and disgusting attimes/most times. Not sure you can handle their attitudes like I did and capable of if they start. Eventhough I'm having a feeling that the said mechanic is on nairaland but you didn't want to let the cat out of the dog probably because of fear. Just summon courage and give us the details of the said mechanic then watch this thread from afar. #Chai!Ishagbaduntodeylookfortrouble 3 Likes 1 Share |
