Car mechanic search for womens

[maya3345]

True indeed, @ poster, you can post up your car issues here on pw forum, we'll try our level best to guide you regarding your car issues and you can tell us the estimates that mechanic is giving you related to whatsoever issue and we'll confirm/verify you if he's being honest or lying to you.

Yes, ok I will do that for now Thank you all for helping me n other ladies out there....

it may not be out of context here -

i'm Driving teacher to 19 girls of my family. youngest being my niece, she got her D/L in PK at age of 18 years 3 months solo driving to college very next day onwards no looking back now. She is specialising in Paeds - Blood diseases at a Medical school. The Eldest one my cousin sister now in DC & will be Granny in Feb 2015. -

the very 1st lesson for ALL of them is to understand the instrument cluster, use of rear view mirror & use of indicator stalk, next was to check engine oil, washer fluid & loose plug cables, the best for them was to keep windshield squeeky clean.

3rd & most important how to change a flat wheel. Yes How to change a flat wheel it may sound RAW towards girls but thats how I train them ALHAMDO Lillah all of them are self sufficient less 6 all are in Pakistan settled in metro cities. they have no handicap to challenge any mechanic or confront about the job done. They all have numbers for Tow services in case of a major break down they bring cars to home to be taken care of later.

the very 1st concern for them is why the hell did it break down when maintenance is top notch. Their family coordinate with them as & when necessary.

I mean no offence to any of female members ( drivers ) but if you ladies are handicap to handle car maintenance issues all on your own, dispose of your cars and use call-a-car_rent a car with driver. please try not to tell me what is conditions in Pakistan for women. The 13 of my "girls" all live in Pakistan and ma sha ALLAH very much self-sufficient about vehicles they drive. Their Husbands are sweet telling me ' ham sai achi driver hain aur us ki wajah aap hain '

My home minister drives a car & maintain it herself - ( as i mentioned in my above post ) unless the boy calls me telling he is in tight corner.

At some point you may be right but you see not everyone here afford auto, taxi or rent a car. So I am not sure how they are handling issues that only mechanic can inform. Or even if they know about issues they cant sit on mechanic shops for hours coz of the environment. I am wishing some day we will have one of the shops where ladies will be dealing with car issues lol...funny but usefull

[maya3345]

Regardless of your gender, mechanics always try to rip us off. The best solution I can suggest is posting up your issue here so you would know what is wrong with your car and how much should it cost to be fixed.

Another thing you can do is that mostly people know trustworthy mechanics, so if anyone here would like to sincerely help, they can ask their own known mechanics to be fair and provide you the service for a reasonable price and you can visit that particular mechanic, more like reference.

Cheers.

Yes good idea....thanks I will certainly do and other ladies can also do for sure

not only females but males get fooled too. jis ka kaam usi ko saajhe. we are pretty experienced but we get fooled too sometimes.

it is always a good idea to get your car checked by more than one mechanic. you will get a very good idea about the price and labour.

as already pointed out, you may post your problem here and the docs here may diagnose the actual issue for you.

dont think a driver will help you out there. professional drivers know how to take money out when getting car work done.

start learning if you want are going to continue driving.

learn to talk to your car and understand what she says to you in return.

speaking of the axle, just go to a mechanic and ask him straight away that you want to get the axles checked. if he says it needs replacement, ask him to put in a china axle kit. they are a bit cheap in price but work ok if you are not into speeding while turning. the mechanic will get to know that you have a know how of the car and its parts and wont try anything stupid.

this is how you learn

one thing is most important - do not let mechanics "cover" up problems - like removing the thermostat valve because its summer etc. If your mechanic says such - he does not know how a car operates.

Its really a pathetic view IMO

Coz u will let stranger look into your hood rather than look into your cars hood? Is your car more important than you?

[muradi]

Yes, there is a tuk tuk noise when i turn the one which was coming from back was coz of the bearing, my cousin just got it fixed. So its just the front noise which as per you is definitely for excel

Yes, good suggestion, I will keep in mind.

so the Axle has gone bad, u should get it fixed ASAP as it is quite dangerous as it may brake anytime, get the axles checked and get them replaced

[maya3345]

such service providers charge premium price in addition to the parts & service charges, however work is done on priority knowing that the ' BAJI ki gari hai ' . if you are willing to accept the fact I can share the name & number. The guy is trust worthy since 15 years fixing vehicles of my family.

suspension shop ONE & ONLY in Karachi - Abdul Hameed & Sons Afzal Bhai at Mama Parsi Girls School Saeed Manzil., 1st visit to have an assessment of job & time required plus an appointment time - 2nd visit to drop the vehicle, he can help deliver the car.

Yes, please share the number n the details.

@maya3345

North Nazimabad

if you are in North Nazimabad, drive over upto Landi Kotal cross bridge to Tahir villa round about take left go straight & around right curve cross the road hump & take left locate this place as in MAP, refer him name of Ahmed Bhai of PW forum. [ the right curve is mention on left of the posted image ]

my guy is at Tariq road and 45 minute 1 way is required time for pick & delivery of car. at above address plenty of transport is available and you can drop & collect the car yourself while leaving list of work to be done, and test drive before payment.

drivers steal petrol, a very common problem from efi cars they know which line to disconnect & drop into an empty PET bottle, 2nd most important trait of drivers is they conspire against trusted mechanic & engage OWN 'trunk workshop' to make extra cash at every visit. If you know how to drive and for some personal or family reasons there is no one for timely help there is no harm doing it yourself within comfortable distance with trust & safety.

Its really sad to see some of the members writing such rubbish comments. Pakwheels is not only related to one gender, Pakwheels is here to help everyone!

@Poster, my teacher at Law School gets her vehicle maintenance done from 3S Dealership under her supervision. I've seen her couple of times. You should pay a visit to nearest Suzuki Dealership, yes they are a bit expensive but at the end it is a peace of mind. However you will be in safe area where you can wait in the waiting room or you can thoroughly monitor your car's work. If the parts are expensive, you can buy those parts from a local shop in your area and hand them to the 3S Dealership mechanics and just pay the labor. Sitting in-front of a road side mechanic in a small workshop isn't a good idea as Karachi isn't that much safe plus you all know the Pakistani mentality because you are an opposite gender.
@capsat and other prominent Karachi members can guide you better that where to get genuine replacement parts in cheap rates.

Regards
