Abdul Hameed & Sons - Karachi

[tahamujtaba]

I have gotten my two cars repaired by him and found him fair. One was 8 Gen civic whose shock absorber were only repaired by him which were fine till a year after that I sold the vehicle and the second car is Toyota vitz 2006 whose shock absorbers, ball joints and steering rack was fixed by him. After the repair work I have driven the car 45 thousand kilometers and uptill now its suspension is fine.
He does take lot of time in order to repair my vitz it took whole day the work started at 11 o clock in morning and ended at 10 o clock at night.

I have gotten 3 cars repaired from him personally, and even recommended many of my friends. All of them are satisfied and infact few of them are still using the cars and its been years they havent complaint ever.

About the car turning left and not feeling grip, normally suspension work needed alignment. just get it done for all four wheels maybe all ur issues will be resolved
i cant understand u saying " Plus when I am turning the steering in idle movement there are weird noises coming from back shocks.

how is this possible. i am not the supporter but there are cases when most of the ppl are satisfied and few doesnt get the job done perfectly:

@nnabeel i guess this is the same guy you recommended my i was about to get my car shocks repaired. the one opposite magazine lane entrance.

usually cars make noise when you turn steering when at idle when the power steering pump is gone but in your case @mirz_iv your car has electronic power steering and the area from where you hear the noise has no such parts that would create this noise.

I've had worked done on my car 3 times at his place across magazine line and have left fully satisfied every time. He charges more than your regular street-side mechanic but you get what you paid for.

Its Hydraulic In 2005 Civic !

[omersiddiqui5482]

Even if that's the case sound should come from the front .

@SER_GTR thank you for increasing my knowledge.....

Never rely on the word of mouth on Pakwheels.
Pakistanis in general lack the ability to form credible opinions or feedbacks worthy enough for a decision.
This forum is no exception.

Local assembled Honda's are of no use after 5 - 7 years these cars trained you to be full Techno-Geek, at the end I will say make a wise choice when buying used cars.

Not all Models are better when taken as used car.

My family members have learnt their lesson from Eagle Eye Oriel she trained us all for which mechanic / suspension wala / parts wala good or bad, before that Honda Civic we had good chit chat with the mechanics around our home but now only salam jee salam.

just go back and have it fixed.. For better example, find a freind or someone who owns a similar car and have it "measured and tested" against that - right at the workshop.

Posting here wont help.

Here is the bill for you. In which it is clearly mentioned that front & rear shockers. Oh, Might me I made the bill by myself.

[mirz_iv]

Lucky guy.

[mirz_iv]

I did the alignment already.

[mirz_iv]

True Sir - Lesson learned.

[mirz_iv]

Sir - Neither I have time to go back & forth with him plus after seeing sharing personal details with a 3rd person just makes no sense to me. I would rather go to Honda Workshop now to get it done. 16,000 khairat dedi. Allah khush rakhay usko.

May god bless you and fulfill your loss.
And thank you very much for proving that you have been defrauded .

[ktech786]

That's why I respect @Xulfiqar sahib that he always guide you so that you could take a better and informed decision,and can supervise your repair with confidence.
And always refuse to recommend anyone by giving true logic that he do not lives in pk anymore

[Xulfiqar]

You probably either have excess money or really excessive time. If it were my car I would take ot back to get it corrected to the repair spec required. Involving a dealer shop for repair on an old car at this time where another has worked on it will result in further loss of money without benefit.

Using another similar car as a "normal service spec" for comparison is the best way to demonstrate failure of workmanship. Very simple and is done globally including pakistan.

[mirz_iv]

You might be right.. I will think about it as I just gave my car for paint job yesterday it might take a week to get the job done then I will visit him.
