Well that's for those who are forming oga and can't buy the oil by themselves. Buy your oil and take it to the engr for servicing. 5 Likes |

This is what goes on in most dealerships in Nigeria. Be it Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Mercedes; name it. That's how they make their money. And they won't let you see what they are doing. They charge you premium for regular service. 3 Likes |

9icetoo:about 3 years ago i went to a hyundai dealership in abuja to replace spark plugs and oil, same dealership the car was bought brand new. A couple weeks later the car started misfiring again, this time we went to a local mechanic and we found out the plugs were never replaced, they probably just cleaned them and put them back in. 1 Like |

king406:I saw worse. The Kia guys were using a Nigerian made ATF in a Kia transmission. Their drums of engine oil 10w-30 were from dozzy. No wonder I saw a lot of Kia Rio's with blown engines in their lot. 2 Likes 1 Share |

ASD (Peugeot accredited agent) did the same to my Boss' car. They charged us 56k for servicing only for them to use drum oil for the servicing. I mean drum oil of 600naira X 5 liters = #3000. Since then we buy our oil from the Fuel Station and straight to Kazeem to change it. 3 Likes |

All these stories show that it's not a matter of going to all these fancy dealerships that will guaranty your car gets the best service. You have to try to find a good and trusted tech, usually by recommendation from people who drive the same type of model. |
