Even if your car doesn't come with
470 HP and Wi-Fi connectivity, your car is the
biggest and most expensive gadget you own. And unless you trade your vehicle in
as often as your MacBook, keeping that ride in peak operating condition is
absolutely vital to keeping repair costs down over its lifespan.
That's not to say that every repair will be inexpensive—timing
belts and heater cores, for example, are notoriously expensive to repair
regardless of the make or model—but here are a few ways to make sure that N5,000
brake job doesn't turn into a N50, 000 leak in your checking account.
Inexperience, trial and error A large
number of mechanics have little experience and knowledge about the well-being
of cars. Working
on modern vehicles demands unprecedented talent and training. In the bid to fix
the problem, more problems arise
Charging for unnecessary repairs A mechanic diagnoses a problem, repairs it and - surprise,
surprise - the problem is still there. They then re-diagnose it as a different
problem and repair that. Eventually, the mechanic repairs the original defect
but charges the customer for all the repairs. In some other instances, the
mechanic is fully aware of other faults in your vehicle but will keep mute so
as to get you to come back and pay more.
Misdiagnosing something that is
not faulty Sometimes to pad their bills,
mechanics will tell a customer non-defective parts need to be replaced. Your
brakes need to be resurfaced? They’ll tell you to get them replaced. Other
parts on the car can be repaired? They’ll suggest replacement. Like unnecessary
repairs, unneeded parts being sold to you is also a trick for major extortion.
Purchase of inferior parts Mechanics
in Nigeria are in this habit. The car owner pays for authentic parts for
repairs, they will not only double the price of parts, they go as far as
getting inferior parts which will eventually cause more damage.
