Sequel to the thread created by Baba40 I wish to clear the air.

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/6270804/gazzuzz-dubious-insultive-arrogant-being#96294091


1. I entered into a contract to replace the engine, fluids and radiator for Baba40

2. The vehicle was recently purchased by baba40 prior to meeting me and was massively abused.

3. A Foreign used engine was procured and installed with a 3month warranty or 3000km which ever comes first.

4. I did not receive any complaints from Baba40 until after the expirations of his warranty.

5. The procured engine in the market where it was sourced comes with a 1 week warranty and not a money back guarantee. (They will fix and not replace in the event of failure).

6. As a responsible entity we stick our necks out for our clients because we stand by what we sell.
We give long warranties so in the case of failure the client is covered.

7. I was ed on the 4th month and after over 3,340km that engine installed on baba40's vehicle suffered oil burn.

8. As a responsible entity I offered him a window of full refund for expense made on engine procurement and installation . The window was 24hrs.

9. Baba40 Did not respond to my offer, but rather insulted me further.

10. 3weeks after the offer elapsed he opened the thread above.




I have sold and installed hundreds of engines to nairalanders on this platform. Over 99per of the time it turns out well without issues. There are times it does not. This is possibly one of those cases.

In the past i have fully refunded aggrived clients for all funds expended as written in the invoice (fluids, labour , logistics, and parts) and also installed their old parts back, I can call out 2 nairalanders that have received this gesture this year. Business is not all about money but about having a good name and brand.


Thank you.

Gazzuzz.

Guys please let baba40 and gazzuzz iron their issues out. Devoid of insults and distractions. Thank you.
The allegations of baba40 (devoid of the curses) are stated below:

Baba40:
May the nothern thunder ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ Gazzuzz and anything he represents. This would preach goodness but act otherwise.

He sold a worked engine for me as tokunbo engine yet insult me like I'm collecting it as credit or free. The engine he sold for me for N220k . What will you say about a "tokunbo" engine that engine oil( the one he recommended and bought) dries up just in less than 1000miles. I poured another 4litre it has short again.

May Gazzuzz I'm feeling now and the one he made me feel except I got the money through a dubious way too.. He made me cough out almost N400k upon insult and abuse oooo yet the engine he bought and fixed for me is a worked engine.

He showed me a clean tokunbo engine but gave me a worked engine, may the force of universe take advantage of your ignorance and work against you in all ramifications of your life.

Very very dubious human being... Dubious and arrogant.

Each time I bought Mobil 5w30 I swear for your generation. Imagine me using 4gallons of Mobil 5w30 in the space of 2000miles.

Very very wicked being... When I complained he asked me to bring the car and he remove the engine and pay me back my money. Very stupid being indeed. My soul swear for you each time I

Baba40 kindly state what exactly you want at this point... Let the house consider your request in consult with gazzuzz to see if it's workable.

Verdict: Six pages. Nothing concrete in demand from the claimant. Gazzuzz is hereby discharged and acquitted.
Baba40 seems only interested in throwing tantrums...

Sce booked

I hope those who read only first post in other thread before judging see this

Coming from you?
Ain't God great

Guy refund the man his engine. A good Tokunbo engine as you started cannot start having oil burns just under 3000km. And he said it's been having this issue way before the 3000Km and he's being complaining but you asked him to try several things.

It's not fair when you try to take advantage of people's of ignorance. Nigeria is hard enough. Don't scam your fellow guyman.

Seeing baba40's thread alone, you know he is one of those customers devil sent to give you a hard time.

Gazzuzz resolve the issue as amicably as possible, you did not start business yesterday and I know this is not the first mad customer you are dealing with.

What do you know? Even Toyota have recalls and TSBs and even on their manuals they say oil burns at 1000km is normal in their engines. So what then is your point? Or are you trying to further deepen this crisis by fanning Ambers of discord?

Some of our chats.

This was where we started.

I wrote and invoice and issued it, a deposit was made, mid way client changed his mind and started requesting we review our prices and use used radiator and cheaper coolant.

The client was allowed to buy his own parts after he insisted

Client bought this used radiator and some abro coolant

At this point I was fed up and stopped work. Told the client I was no longer interested in his job and he would be refunded and he can take his car elsewhere.

He pleaded and I declined.


Finally his wife called and after a lengthy talk I agreed to continue his work.

We finished without any issues.

Only complaint he had afterwards was the check engine light on, which was clearly due to a missing catalytic converter.

Other time , was a faulty starter relay which he fixed himself and a bad fuel pump which he also fixed himself.

To show your arrogancy, why save a customer name with angry Corolla customer, you have no business ethics.

Interesting. Did he ever complain about oil burn/request a replacement during the valid warranty period?

With all due respect Baba40, can you provide answers to the questions/posers above (you can leave out #2 as you won't have needed Gazzuzz's service if the vehicle was okay). Please include evidence/screenshot(s) to state/ your point/submission where necessary.

We wish to resolve this and both of you can have closure.


Please, can the audience stop mudslinging, stop crying more than the bereaved abeg.

120k for Toyota corolla 2004 catalyst? What kind of scammer are you?

From what you posted, it even vindicates the customer the more. Did you run any test on the engine after fixing? can we see the test you ran to the engine health?

Did the customer complain about this oil burn before the 3000km on your contract? what was your response to him?

The issue he's complaining about now is not a radiator issue. Radiators don't cause oil burn in engine so don't bring the radiator part to this discussion.

You sold an engine that doesn't meet your contract specifications. Refund his money!

Oga the guy came to change the engine because the vehicle was faulty!

What's your point!!

He did not complain of oil burn

and for you to store your customers as "angry Toyota customer" explains all i need to know about you!

GAZZUZZ:

He said he did and you asked him to try other oil alternatives.

lol
. Which one is angry Corolla customer... rofl

Baba40 wot do u actually want,Gazzuzz don reply with evidence....ur oil consumption quote is outrageous.....

GAZZUZZ:


He did not complain of oil burn

I honestly don't understand these threads. If not for the fact that you have to set things straight because of business reputation, I don't think there's a case here at all.

Baba40, so to be exact, your engine took 20 liters of oil over the past three months and you never reported it to Gazzuzz? Why?

Hmmmm.. that is why e no good to dey take side without evidence.

Baba40, what do u have to say now?? What do u want gazzuzz to do? Gazzuzz what do u want to do for baba40 Now. From the chat above, everything worosiworo

I don't think there's anything to be said here. He already offered to replace the engine within 24 hours, even though warranty had expired. If Baba40 didn't take that offer, that's on him.

There's not a single court of law in which Gazzuzz would lose this case.

All toyota engines?

naijapips04:

Where and When??

Guy you sold an engine with a bad piston to the guy. You know this is true but you are trying to rigmarole yourself out of it. You knew that engine was bad when you installed it. Just know this, what goes around comes around. It will surely get to you.

Dear gazzuzz,
I have read this thread just now and I think op should have done any negotiation with you b4 u embarked on starting the process.
Even at that if he wanted to negotiate anything, I think he should have just asked for leniency on ur labour charge and allow you to buy what you deem fit for the vehicle. (I can't say if he did that.
So op was wrong there.
Since you spoke to his wife and u had a good understanding with her,
What could possibly cause the oil burn, is it his used radiator he purchased.
I just want to you check the car , say what is causing it and let him decide on what to do.
That would still be a professional way to it.
Sorry if I misinterpreted the whole scenario but trying to help an aggreived customer problem will still put you in good light since there is already a job connecting the two of you.
I understand you gave a warranty despite allowing him to purchase his part and I appreciate that.
Pls kindly just check the car and state whY is wrong so he will decide what to do and the refund of engine only if he doesn't want it fixed by you.

Thank you

LeJeun3:


Where and When??

he said he started experiencing oil burn after 2000km and he complained about it. He was told to change the oil. Read his messages here.

HeavenlyBang:

That question is not only germane but also pivotal to the resolution of this matter; and only the complainant, sorry customer Baba40 can provide answer (with proof hopefully).

The respondent, sorry mechanic Gazzuzz can counter with compelling evidence as well later.

Most importantly, the question is simply answerable with either a Yes or No.

guy radiators don't cause oil burns. The engine itself is bad.

He paid Gazzuzz full for the engine and for his labour.

This is a classic case of a Nigerian mechanics. He knew he sold a faulty engine. The engine piston had been worked on that is why its having oil burns few months after purchase. Nigerian mechanics do this alot. They know the fix would only last a few months. This is really wicked!
