Where?

radautoworks:
If you've never heard of Carquest, google them. They have expanded to Nigeria. They sell original parts that all come with warranties of anywhere from 3 months to 1 year. They also sell all the CORRECT oils for each vehicle. They are located in Lekki right after the second toll gate. There is also a repair shop for an American franchise called Milex and Mr. Transmission. Again, google if you don't know who they are. If you lived in the colder states in the US, you've probably heard of them. They warranty their work with the same warranties Carquest offers. If you are tired of street mechanics F'ing up your car or dealers charging exhorbitant prices for work they didn't do, you should probably check them out.

They will be opening a total of 10 stores across Nigeria and warranties will be good at any of the stores. They will provide for ALL car brands not just american cars. Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, BMW, etc.

DISCLAIMER: I am on the board of directors for these stores and this is a passion project for me because the state of auto repair in this country is ridiculous. Having returned home, we are merely trying to bring the minimum level of service we are used to from the USA to Nigeria. I hope this post doesn't violate Nairaland rules.

Select dealers stock them.... Trane batteries are the best I have used since changing batteries. Except for manufacturer branded batteries

fishing:
Op will you be selling batteries.We are tired of purchasing substandard ones from china with an average life span of 1 year.

Kashif:
Nice Move OP.

Many cars are parked because owners have given up. Some people are willing to pay, but the expertise is not available. Most parts are fake, down to oils!

I have seen quack mechanics abroad too though.

Will you sell auto transmission parts?

SalesTobiMotors:
If this is true then this is a very interesting development.

One of our prime logistical issue have just been resolved, at least in the short term.

Will you be offering commercial accounts like we enjoy now at the Irwindale, California Store?

LeJeun3:




Welcome back to Nigeria.

Milex and Mr. Transmission staff would they be sourced locally or expatriates??

Parts store is a welcome development.

radautoworks I wish the best of luck in your business. Not to scare you, but it won't be easy.

Shalomc:

Where?

AutoElectNG:


I'd rather not rain on someone's parade.

This thread is meant to herald a new company/service, let me not detract from the purpose of the thread

Contact me with your location off the thread, I may be able to help

radautoworks:


Can't be in business 15 years and be a quack though I get your concern. Also can't get Nigeria as a territory without a proven track record �

radautoworks:


Yes we will and as time goes on by January, we will also be rebuilding transmissions with 6 month to one year warranties. We just have to see what mix we are getting to bring in the right transmission kits.

radautoworks:


Yes we will. We are also working out if they can build in online ordering for commercial accounts here. The biggest issue is the currency exchange.

Shalomc:

You are yet to answer where? I asked a specific question.

radautoworks:


Both. The shop manager is expatriate and the staff are from dealerships here. They undergo a month's training on our methods and equipment before they ever go on the shop floor.

radautoworks:


Not a problem for us. The more, the merrier. We are trying to revolutionize car care in Nigeria so any companies that help that effort are fine by us.

Kashif:


Gazzuzz thought me something on batteries recently.....

SalesTobiMotors:


Please try to engage staff that understand customer service as you staff up.

We wish you the best of luck and were looking forward to continuing doing business with CarQuest.

I have not found the link where I last bought the Trane battery from don't know why, but there is another brand I almost bought, just as reliable http://www.bosch.ng/nigeria/en/products-and-services/automotive-spare-parts-384.html

The only reason why I did not buy is at the guy the guy in Abuja had the S3 https://www.boschautoparts.com/en/auto/passenger-batteries/s3-batteries but I wanted the S6 High Performance AGM™ Battery https://www.boschautoparts.com/en/auto/passenger-batteries/s6-high-performance-batteries

chukel:
Very commendable. Not looking for trouble sha, but radauto works and radix auto brokers look too similar. What's your husband's profile please. Where is tsat.

radautoworks:

EgunMogaji:


I'm probably not looking correctly but I can't find any link to CarQuest in any of this.

A reliable source of quality parts, warrantied parts is what got my blood pumping.
