baba it's very good work, perfection to be precise...

like this particular case of 03 Camry, of which the 2nd hand value for well maintained falls into the 800-1.2m category, spending close to 400k on the AC alone is somehow sha..... to me oh.

Will you have a direct access to the managing director of Coscharis or you’ll just be another invoice item?

grin grin well, that's one way to look at it. I know that there are people that may fix it cheaper but what are you getting and for how long will it last? At least you won't have to worry that other mysterious things will start going wrong after we touch your car grin For what we offer, we are honestly cheap but I understand cutting coat according to size.

I will try not to vex by that statement lol. No, you are not getting the same thing.

There are two factors here. Parts and labor. Parts is what you have a problem with. Our labor is straight-up cheap. How many places are this transparent with pricing on a public forum? Good luck getting commitments in a public forum even from the dealers. They can't even give a straight labor rate. They will tell you it depends on the car and the kind of work being done. undecided
We know what we are offering has value so we are more than happy to be transparent.

If you want to cut costs with us, you buy your parts elsewhere and bring it for us to install. We will just not offer a warranty when you do that. Just understand that if the part is defective, you will still owe us the labor for putting it in. When you remove it and come back with a non-defective part (if you can get an exchange from where you got it or had to buy yet another one), you will then pay the labor for doing the job again with the non-defective part.

OR

You can get parts and labor through us for slightly more and know that no matter the problem whether it's a defective part or we messed up, it will not cost you another dime in parts or labor.

You get what you pay for.

I agree with u that the labour is cheap, for a world class standard.....
just that from wia I'm standing, the overall cost for a car this old is somehow sha.... the problem is me not u please..... lots of guys will not see it as an issue.

maybe because I'm still upcoming and I neva reach those Like pipedreams (money no b problem).

Please let God hurry up and answer your prayers o. I agree that for 1.2M car na struggle to pay 360k for a/c. Not everything is expensive but a/c is expensive on any car you look at. Brakes and other things will be quite affordable for your car. Alternative suggestion like I said to to find tokunbo or used compressor and have professionals put it in but understand there is risk there.

I can't even look at aninweze because he finished me with the Nike meme ROFL

You do know you don't have to do the condenser just because you're doing the compressor right? It's really receiver drier and accumulator you need to worry about and maybe if you have some older tubing. That's why they come in the kit. You're really looking at about N265,761 which i know still no be huge consolation smiley

It was brought to my attention by someone on this forum that there is a competing website. This is not an endorsement as we don't know them but they might be worth a look for some people. They seem to be mainly routine maintenance parts like fluid, batteries and brakes and mostly Toyota.

This excites us as it means the market here is changing.
