WHAT IS THIS OBSESSION ON NAIRALAND WITH "REPLACE ENGINE" AND "REPLACE COMPRESSOR/CONDENSER"?? Most of the time, that is not necessary and is only recommended because they either can't or won't diagnose what actual component in the system is causing the problem so they just replace the whole system. Rebuilds only take 2-3 days unless there is a parts delay e.g. other recommendation on here ( sight unseen I might add) was 300k engine replacement. Actual solution only cost 113k and did NOT require an engine replacement SMH. I've attached a picture of the supposed 300k engine replacement problem. Yes, you are seeing right. Someone used SOCKET TOOLS as a part in the engine They also used a knockoff two layer gasket instead of three. oh, and did I mention diagnosis was FREE with the repair? 2 Likes

AutoElectNG: that was my take too. not all business is good business. There was no way they were going to get all that work done elsewhere for that price with warranty. they acknowleged as much but just felt they should have a discount. brakes, struts AND oxygen sensors? One of the hurdles we expected to have was the haggling mentality here. It will cost us business in the beginning but when you are transparent and fairly and consistently priced, there is no room for haggling. 3 Likes |

Kewtt: Reflex. I always ask that with O2 sensors before I even check. For this, yes they are. Two options: BOSCH Universal Oxygen Sensor 2 required N40,515 6 month warranty http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=OXY&partNumber=15733 Or Red Line Universal Oxygen Sensor 2 Required N17,155 replacement at our discretion http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=OXR&partNumber=CX15733 By the way, is this for commercial or personal use because it makes a difference? |

AutoElectNG: I couldn't agree more. This business model is similar somewhat to mine. I'm in between Brother Kasalai the mecho working under the bridge and a dealership in terms of pricing. I will court those that consider dealership too pricey. I won't court the Kasali clients because I will always be too expensive. 4 Likes |

Kewtt: Commercial accounts get cheaper pricing because they are for business use/resale. Basically repair shops get cheaper pricing to enable them do their jobs and make a little margin. Same as with any parts store I assume. 2 Likes |

obekediamondfuto:No mind them my guy, radautoworks has not seen kazeem abused engine in this we country. It is until you see a Nissan Micra piston fabricated into a Toyota tundra V8 engine before you know that "replace engine" needs to be said often. |
Re: Milex & Carquest, 2nd Largest USA Parts & Repair NOW OPEN In Lekki Phase 2 by radautoworks: 9:07am On Jul 30, 2018 |
banky3w: . Okay that was genuinely funny. You should go read first few pages of this thread. That Nissan Micra is EXACTLY why we opened here. I can't speak for anyone else but unf@cking vehicles is what we do and we do it the way most convenient for the customer and most of the time, it's by rebuilding. Nothing to get panties in a bunch about. Just keep an eye on us. Better the devil you know for us when it comes to engines. |
