DAVE5:



I was using an is250, gave my mec to sell it cos it has come of age in my hand, so I want to switch to the benzo(always had crush on the c300, but not in any a Benz fan, I so much hate the gear lever being mounted on the steering component)

But with what I’m readin here, some comments on Benz dey scare me... wondering if I can enjoy for 4-5 years without issues asides normal maintenance

always loved Lexus from childhood but just want to experience something new

Eddee:


What makes you think I'll give you stamped original copies? You’ll only be privy to the mgmt accnts prepared and details of findings.

It is going to be very easy indeed, I don't think there will be a lot to look at in the first place

seanfer:


If you’re getting the Benz. I’ve read a post here about the stearing getting locked and it cost about 200k to get it done. I’m sure the Benz gurus will explain better.

DAVE5:



Me saying you could use 10 hours to fix a 30minutes job is merely an assumption because we know Nigerians like to manipulate situations, I’m a Nigerian but I’ll say Nigerians are to be feared, me inclusive, however there was no misunderstandings wen I visited ur shop, I was quite surprised to be charged over 900k for fixes and part, then I thought to my self the car is just 2.9m - 3.5m for toks and I drove the car with only a noise from my steering from mainland to ur shop, d noise was caused by a mec putting a bigger ac compressor in the car than car’s specific compressor size, as I see the bill, I jejely run ohh, I’ve not mentioned any of such on this forum at all and I don’t intend to soil ur name or biz, I’ll probably delete this post cos I no want trouble or spoil anybody market

Sha I dey acquire new whip soon, Incase I need any parts/servicing I MIGHT contact u and if ur price seems exorbitant I go still run again but I no go drive com ur shop cos I no like to embarrass myself con look like poor man, I no be dangote, but there’s good food on my table


Lol



Also note that the bigger compressor was fixed by a Nairaland professional too, the Nairaland guy try but probably did more harm than good to my car, I no trust anybody again, all man dey claim professional till it gets to the “work the work” part

thebigkendo:


Na that nairaland professional gon gon we for like hear about

Smartchoiice:
Mosbus?

DAVE5:

DAVE5:



Lol, I woke up too early today and felt bored, so I’m skimming tru a lot to see if my intended buy wld favor me in terms of maintenance and parts, 1 thing lead to the other and I dragged everybody

You na my personal person for life!

Smartchoiice:

This cannot be unread

radautoworks:


Dave5, I don't mind. We are completely transparent in our dealings. The only part I was a little miffed about was the manipulating hours. I would actually like you to post what we charged and what it was for.

Smartchoiice:

Radautoworks but she sells clones too . And try oluwaseunla or talk to chelseafan1

DAVE5:




Took my car to rada once, they gave me quote, I ran, the quote was almost half the price of my full car and they weren’t fixing much ohh

So if it’s 5k per hour basis, they cld decide to fix a car for 10 hours instead of the 30minutes it would normally take to do the fix? Thereby charging you madly


I doubt I wld be visiting them in the near future

Is a nairaland professional fixing it?

seanfer:


IS350 Engine is over 1 million Naira. Why not go for IS250 the engine is less than 200K.

GAZZUZZ:


This is not nice sir.

GAZZUZZ:


You must create a balance name the shop or technician involved

GAZZUZZ:


Really? Can you prove this?

Smartchoiice:

Radautoworks understands that statement. Thank you. No malice. She sells Bosch and other suppliers

Eddee:


Bosch is OEM - they and VDO single handedly build most parts on your w210 and most other Benz's

radautoworks:


I meant the pictures. Email so i can see..

DAVE5:



This one you’re saying this, I had already negotiated a Benz c300 to be picked by Friday, bros advice me, shei make I jejely use the money buy is350 ni cos I wld be using the car as a daily for at least the next one year before buying any second car

If you visited our shop, you would know that's not how it works. First off, estimate is showed to you for approval BEFORE repair starts not after so we don't bill based on how long it took the mechanic.

On the off chance you really did visit us and there was a misunderstanding, here is the thread explaining billing that has been on Nairaland since the beginning. Feel free to post your car model and the required repair and I will screenshot the charges here for all to see.

DAVE5:


Kk, like I said b4 I was not directly saying you’d manipulate hours but rather, my statement was me asking a “what if” a mechanic wants to build mansion on our head and stay put on a job to get more labor rates, it’s good to know there’s a standard time for fixing a part or getting a job done, so “if” any mechanic that charges hourly were to try anything funny, I cld take my stand n object
