Some vehicles you drive until they're written off and you never get to hear of stuff like these


Mimi sio mechanic but nashuku ni mambo ya timing belt and belt tensioner

The timing system manages when the valves open and close to let air in or out. On most cars it lasts for 100,000km, after which time it must be replaced. Cars that use chains instead of belts mostly never need to have them replaced.

The danger if it is not replaced is that the belt can snap, causing engine seizure. That is very expensive to repair. Sometimes more expensive than buying a new engine.

PS: I am not a mech either.

It's true what @seppuku has said. I've a friend whose Mitsubishi IO cut the timing belt. He had to replace the whole engine! I need to examine mine before things snap!

Call them on this line and report back
Japan motors
Tel: +254-202355040
Mobile: 0722518908

Btw we have two types of forester headlamps ile iko na bulb moja na ya bulb mbili

with 40K you cannot even get a headlamp for a GG2 1500cc from Ambani(subatech-0722749381).You need between 45-50K and its halogen


These lines went unanswered and they never called back.

For subatech you really have to call 3-4 times before they pick

Who runs a business like that, with that kind of customer service? Yaani, a customer has to plead with them, beg, call 4X etc to see if they can be served?

Even I wonder? These lines are for Japan Motors though, right? Or are you saying they are unlikely to be different from Subatech?

Why would you beg for service like that?Buy the parts at Subaru Kenya when they have offers & pelekea any kawaida Subaru mech.No need to beg anyone.
Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

Japan motors are different from subatech.The lines in red are for Japan motors the ones in blue are for subatech.

Its not begging.For Ambani the sales person at the counter is also the one picking the calls hence s/he cannot cut customer short to pick a call.They dont have a dedicated customer care person

And for subatech you dont have to go there with you car to identify a part.Just note your chassis number and they will find it for you
