radautoworks: seLiously? are u for real? I'll get my 70percent back in event of any failure? I just cannot help but sense that there is a disclaimer that will void this contract...... always...... no vex, just that I'm programmed to think that way..... only when I experience it live..... then and only then will I now accept. incredible! |
Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by radautoworks: 3:12pm On Aug 17, 2018 |
obekediamondfuto: Not always true. I mentioned earlier that with the equipment we have, we could fool a seasoned mechanic because the fault would be internal and only discovered when it was installed and then torn down. Happens all the time. Only way to be sure at purchase is to make sure they have tested the engine previously and promise to take it back if it doesn't start. |

You guys will soon understand we are not here to play. Nothing I've said is strange or unusual in the USA. It's the bare minimum. If I have to live in Naija, you best believe it will become the bare minimum here. Just give it some time. 4 Likes |

radautoworks: But one can run an engine on ground...the ears of gods will hear, if something is wrong, couple with physical inspection. Engines can be bought without going wrong... Or I'm getting something wrong? By the way, I have a rebuilt engine still going strong after 8yrs. But it was not done in Nigeria. 1 Like |
Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by radautoworks: 3:32pm On Aug 17, 2018 |
Mayor555: I did say you would have to run it. I didn't say they couldn't be bought without going wrong. My point is chances of an issue are higher. So I assume you're so confident in your engine picking abilities you offer a warranty like Gazzuzz? Because even there where they run and test engines before sale, we have received bad ones. I will never be able to sleep as well at night with a bought one versus one that I know what was done to it. It's the engine replacements that used to keep me up at night. 1 Like |

Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by obekediamondfuto(m): 8:50pm On Aug 17, 2018 |
thebigkendo: yes na, na assurance be that oh..... the contract must be typewritten and signed with stamp to avoid any talk like falsifying or doctoring. I've seen mechanics in owerri work engines and the owners come and drive 2 poles and the mechanic will start working on it there again .... 2poles per service till the owner gets home as owner and mechanic are both tired of the car. |

radautoworks: I will do the rebuild with Rad without blinking. I have been waiting for these kind of services a loooooooong time. I will even ship the engine from Abuja to Lagos for the rebuild. I actually think it's a particular clientele that would demand rebuild services. I just won't be at peace to choose a replace when there's a proven rebuild available. Will have gone for a replacement if your type are not available. Reminds me of how I once drove over 500km (gombe to Abuja) in 2010 to meet a Honda Place mechanic on account of a P2646 (was very naive knew nothing about cars). Car was in limp mode but I planned driving slow and steady. I was out of luck with Gombe Kazeems; the most promising one told me "Oga walahi na senso froblem" in the end he blocked inlets to my IACV ![]() Long story short, when I commenced the journey to Abuja the CEL disappeared before 100km. Looking back now, it must have been a loose connection. I still continued to Abuja and the Honda place guy turned out to be an English speaking Kazeem ![]() ![]() 4 Likes |
