radautoworks: The dye, uv light, goggle etc |
Re: Where Do Rad Auto Works Parts Come From Anyway? by radautoworks: 9:47pm On Jan 17, 2020 |
Mrford: Dye, in stock. Others can be brought in. Honestly we don't even use the light or goggles even though we have a couple for our use. These are on Amazon and cheap but good. Even come with the batteries. Cheaper than the ones we carry. EverBrite Black Light Headlamp UV https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2JWQFP/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_s0HiEbGG4VR10 |

With the increase in ordering used cars overseas, someone might find this information useful https://news.yahoo.com/cars-most-likely-engine-rebuild-100013746.html The common concern with cars as they age is dependability—not only that they may not get you to work one day but also that a catastrophic failure could cost thousands of dollars. Major problems are rare in general, but they do happen. To understand how often such problems occurred, we analyzed data on older models from our Annual Autos Surveys to see which have the highest problem rates for major systems that often require expensive repairs. Three problems areas stood out: engine, head gasket, and transmission. With some models, these problems occur with surprising frequency at a certain age and mileage. Engine problems are among the greatest mechanical nightmares for their inconvenience, expense, and time to repair. We found that there are more than a dozen older models with problems serious enough to require engine rebuilds. “Engine failure can be caused by many things,” says John Ibbotson, Consumer Reports’ chief mechanic. “Some engine rebuilds are needed due to low compression from worn piston rings, resulting in lack of power, misfiring, or excessive oil consumption, while others suffer from crankshaft or connecting rod bearing failure, signaled by a knocking sound.” Due to the difficulty and time required to rebuild an engine, often shops will replace the original engine with one that has been remanufactured. An Audi A4 owner reported, “We have put over $12,000 into this car. Something breaks, we fix it. Something else breaks, we have to fix it. We are retirement age and cannot buy a new car.” It can be a challenge finding the right shop to take on a major repair, which requires talent, time, and parts. A Mini Cooper owner wrote, “Cylinder number three failed while on the highway, at cruising speed. Not only is a replacement motor very expensive, but no local shop wants to do the job, because of the complexity.” To help warn both current owners and used-car shoppers, we compiled a list of 10 models that stood out as having the most severe problems, as determined by frequency and cost. They are presented below in rank order, starting with the one with the highest problem rate. We include the model year with the greatest problems (and when applicable, a range of years affected by this problem), the typical mileage range when the problem occurs, and where possible, we recommend similar alternative vehicles without this concern. If no alternatives are presented, that means similar cars had the same issue or another significant problem. The journey to 200,000 miles can be a bumpy one, but it doesn't have to be if you start with a good, reliable car and properly maintain it, per the directions in the owner’s manual. Consumer Reports always recommends shoppers consult the reliability ratings, based on our large-scale member surveys, to predict the models that have better odds of being trouble-free. This detailed data can be found on our car model pages. 2010 Audi A4 2.0T Model years affected: 2009-2010 Typical mileage: 107,000-153,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Lexus ES, 2008-2010 Infiniti G, 2009-2010 Acura TL 2008 Ford F-350 6.4L diesel Typical mileage: 65,000-119,000 Alternatives: None 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Typical mileage: 102,500-133,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2003-2004 Toyota Matrix 2008 Mini Cooper/Clubman Model years affected: 2008-2009 Typical mileage: 122,000-129,500 Alternatives without this problem: 2008 Mazda3 2010 Chevrolet Equinox/GMC Terrain Typical mileage: 84,500-108,500 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Honda CR-V, 2008-2010 Toyota RAV4 2006 Jeep Wrangler 2.4L Typical mileage: Approximately 150,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2004-2008 Toyota 4Runner 2010 Cadillac SRX Typical mileage: Approximately 130,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Lexus RX, 2010 Acura MDX Typical mileage: Approximately 190,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2003-2005 Lexus RX 2006 Buick Lucerne Typical mileage: 116,000-143,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2006 Lexus GS, 2004-2008 Toyota Avalon 2010 GMC Acadia Typical mileage: 106,000-129,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Toyota Highlander |

Good morning ma, quick one - do you stock Front Lower Control Arm Bushings - 08 Dodge Charger Lx RT? If yes, please tell me the lockdown hasn't affected your shipping outside Lagos? The shipping rates on Amazon and Ebay are scary and I don't want to buy "tokunbo" from the spares market here. |
Re: Where Do Rad Auto Works Parts Come From Anyway? by radautoworks: 2:47pm On Jun 06, 2020 |
Eddee:Which one specifically? Not in stock but I can bring it in 3 weeks $2/lb. Will be MOOG.

Re: Where Do Rad Auto Works Parts Come From Anyway? by Eddee(m): 4:15pm On Jun 06, 2020 |
radautoworks: Thank you for the prompt response ma, the rates are fair enough considering the current naira/dollar debacle, currently out of calabar. Will try and pull it out completely to find out if i need a new arm or if it's the attached ball joint or the bushings that are bad as i suspect. And on other trivial issues, my mechanic suspects a Mercedes S Class W220 arm's bushings might be plug and play. I'll confirm all this and give you feedback the moment i get back to town.

Hello awesome madam Radautoworks, please do you have Toyota Type IV ATF? How much? Do you still have the coolant that need mixing Do you do repair on leaking transmission cooler line? |
Re: Where Do Rad Auto Works Parts Come From Anyway? by radautoworks: 3:17pm On Jun 12, 2020 |
Reminder With a lot of intentional misinformation being passed around the last few days, a couple of emails I received and my responses mysteriously disappearing into the ether as they tend to do on Nairaland, I felt it necessary to be VERY clear on this topic. SO! Where do our parts come from? OUR PARTS ONLY COME FROM ONE PLACE ADVANCE AUTO PARTS/WORLDPAC/CARQUEST DISTRIBUTION. WE DO NOT SOURCE TOKUNBO OR NEW PARTS FROM NIGERIA. CUSTOMERS ARE FREE TO SOURCE THEIR PARTS AND BRING TO US FOR INSTALLATION BUT WE WILL NOT SOURCE THEM EXTERNALLY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PNNqshboyY When a store is owned by an individual, it is a Carquest. When it is owned by corporate, it is an Advance. That being said, Carquest/Advance owns many brands and carries over 200 lines both OEM and aftermarket. Anyone who knows anything about the auto industry and car parts knows that parts are made all over the world so the specific part will be made wherever the brand manufactures their parts i.e. Bosch=Germany, MOOG=Japan,Monroe=USA, etc. Hopefully this brings clarity to some with questions. If not, ask away! 1 Like |
