I would not bother repairing a basic modern car that needed that more work.

You'll be ahead by selling it for parts and buying another one. Oh, find another mechanic too.

It can be gotten, but why not buy the whole front and rear bumpers and rocker panels to make it look neater rather than have the whole bumper get pins, screws, and rivets curtsey inexperienced work men.

Can the house help me with the price of a toyota corolla 2008 AC compressor?

You will be better off getting a brand new one. I'm sure its the clutchless type, my own personal view to this matter is to install the clutch type (yes I know oem bla bla bla) newer toyotas went back to the old clutch system, but if you insist on installing the OEM ensure the system is flushed properly and free of dirt if not your new compressor will not last 2weeks!! It's very sensitive to dirt.


The toks for the 2008 corrola is about 25-35k

The brand new one is between 100-150k

The clutch type plus labour costs for installation might cost between 45-50k depending on who is installing it.

If you need more help contact me 08023251039

Pls house, when i woke up to start my car this morning, I discovered that the Power steering Fluid was emptied, it was leaking from the hose very close to the Tyre at the driver side. What could be the cause of the leakage and the solution pls.
The brand of the car is Toyota Corolla 2003.
Thanks.

When you say hose, 3hoses may be involved

1. The pressure pipe.

2. The supply pipe (from reservoir)

3. The return pipe.


If it's 1 or 2 you are safe it's and easy replacement that will not cost you much, but if it's the pressure pipe, a complete replacement pipe is required. Budget about 10-15k for a new pipe and 8-12k for toks

i noticed my car (Toyota Camry 2002 model) is use to takes much time before it change from one gear to another while on motion..... Pls, is there any solution tip to resolve the problem pls

Camry 2002 (is it the envelope light or big daddy?)

If it's the later model an adjustment can be made here [img][/img] to ensure quicker shifts.

If it's the earlier model (big daddy) you might have a failing transmission or a poorly calibrated throttle position sensor.

A scan will do you good in both cases.

For a scan contact me on 08023251039.

P.s scan is affordable.

Hi Guys, how much can I get Tokunbo Toyota Yaris 2008? and how reliable are the Nigerian used ones that were initially bought brand new?

Yaris 08 comes with a very reliable 2nz engine still used in the 2014 model.

The vehicle should cost between 700-900 depending on how clean it might even get above 1m.

There's a reason toyotas are expensive. wink

If your terrain is good and level that's fine, but if you visit akute, badagry or ikorodu very often don't try it.

The bumper will be replaced as a whole unit.
