Phew! That's a lot of questions. Please email support@radautoworks.com as replying would take up this whole page!

I suspect that for the Jeep, a lot of the parts will be 6-10 day delivery as Jeep is not a huge brand here so we didn't bring in a lot for Jeep upfront.

For some of your answers, the N3,500 was stated labor only. You would have to pay for your filter and oil.

Noone warranties oil. You can take a look at the specs on the MDS sheet for the different oils. Carquest, depending on the weight, is Amalie or Valvoline formulated. All Carquest synthetics are fully synthetic and not blends. If you don't want Carquest, we can bring in other brands but my whole family uses Carquest for cars that include Acura, Mercedes, Lexus, Toyota and Nissan.

For car part questions, please give VIN of vehicle or be more specific about engine size, etc as it applies for the parts you need.

Is crude or petroleum by product not part of tires anymore?

Not anymore as B4, the colouration contains a bit ie less than 1%, its all synthetic now. Just like the bits used for plastics,

Rubbers degrade with age because of oxidation like old rubber bands. Synthetic rubber is made 60-70% of.... Wait for it.... Petroleum products.

MAF cleaner 16oz N5,475 http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=CRC&partNumber=05110

I'm not in Lagos. Do you send items outside Lagos? And, the picture in the link is 11oz not 16oz in your post. Which do you have 11 or 16?

In addition, I believe a review of your price could be necessary. It's N3.000 on Konga and, I believe as a major dealer/supplier of OEM parts, pricing will be an advantage for you. Thank you.

eheh Ofcos they do but how long does it take? As you can see, it will take 100s of years for that to happen. The life circle of plastic and rubber far more out pace that of metal which the car is made of.
Where ai work, we are replacing all hydraulics lines that are not under pressure with rubber tubes and leaving the ones under pressure with steel tubing.I do get your point, however if you check on line, tyre manufacturers do not buy into this ideas, only fixer, then one could argue this claims are one sided cos the more you change tyres the more the fixers get Biz, by fixers I mean the likes of KWIK FIT,RAC Green flag , the AA etc, but people like Dunlop. Michelin, Pirelli etc nop.
PS, would you be selling the 5w30 full synthetic?

Hello, we are working on that. If you have a carrier you like to use you can certainly have them pick up from us.

I will have someone go on the warehouse and check the size as that is the picture that pulls up for that part number and description.

I can't speak for Konga but can tell you our product come from the manufacturer channels and are original. We do not price gouge and base our prices on selling cost, shipping and clearing. It is quite possible they bought liquidation stock somewhere and it's not consistent supply. Again, I can't speak for them.

Unfortunately, I'm not debating issues with you but made a suggestion. However, as at the last time I checked, there was a CRC MAF cleaner with #3k price. I just did another check and saw the new price but then if you compare, your price is still higher if I have to arrange for the courier myself to PH. Whereas they have fixed it at #1k delivery, your system means I have to cater for that myself which, if I'm not purchasing other items, I should be spending a minimum #3k extra on just one item.

The seller on Konga is not bringing in same quantity as you are which should give you advantage in pricing.

Secondly, try to come up with a system in which you contract a courier service and cost of items + transport to customer location is factored in and, total price is arrived at for intending customers at least for now. Since you're in just one location (Lagos) at the moment. I can suggest one, if you don't mind.

In reply to your screenshot, I have also attached a screenshot taken just now other brands as well available on Konga which were all within sane price with the CRC last time I checked.

Wishing you the best in your business.

Bro it's a free and open market! You can buy anywhere you like. You should not expect everyone to sell at the same price.

No doubt. And, you'll agree with me, it's a free world where I am free to air my opinion and suggestions.

I NEVER in any way implied they have to sell at the same price. But, suggesting to them there was a kind of benchmark which might work in their favour as a larger entity if they looked into it.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention but we can't win them all. Like previously said, they could have gotten a pallet liquidation from a store going out of business or something. Through manufacturer channels bringing in things by container, this is the best we can do.

Yes, we are working on a courier service and normally I handle that but I'm not in the country for a few months. Unfortunately I was spoiled by the USA system and never gave it second thought til someone brought it up here. It will be set up fully by January. We are currently in soft open phase and will have our grand opening in January after working out all the kinks we encounter along the way.
