I came, I saw and I conquered the candy store! Bought this small item.
I met Glen as well. Nice guy! He took me past the repair area to the car parts store. Abeg u guys should mount the sign post quick. My Uber missed it the first time despite using Rad Auto Works as destination. Wanted to take me into one...was it oracle estate or something
It's great what you guys are doing! Really nice setup. I perceive you will give dealerships a run for their money.

I'm happy and sad!

Had a great conversation today with a prospective franchisee. Relocating from USA like we did and believes in the revolution. He would like to bring it to Enugu!

That being said, we have interest in Ibadan, Abuja, Enugu. I'm also interested in Lagos mainland and PH. Any thoughts on other locations that would be good to expand our Nationwide warranty net? Shops don't have to be large. They can be 2-6 Bay shops, be existing businesses that want to convert or new from ground up.

I no dey go Boko Haram o!

Sorry about the sad memory. I don't really know any that will be willing. If you can, I'll suggest your organization sets up one rather than franchise. Even if it takes long to do so.

WHAT IS THIS OBSESSION ON NAIRALAND WITH "REPLACE ENGINE" AND "REPLACE COMPRESSOR/CONDENSER"??

Most of the time, that is not necessary and is only recommended because they either can't or won't diagnose what actual component in the system is causing the problem so they just replace the whole system.

Here's another example. 2010 BMW 325i. Car was at another dealership and wouldn't start. Of course you know what their solution was. Turns out after taking it apart it was just a camshaft bolt that broke in the head. No new engine required.

UPDATE: THE SAGA CONTINUES
so the bolt was as a result of a thirsty seized camshaft. SO... camshaft had to go!

2004 Jaguar X-type. Won't go in reverse. Dropping tranny to see what the problem is.

Going to need some absorbent to mop up that spill undecided

Re: Milex & Carquest, 2nd Largest USA Parts & Repair NOW OPEN In Lekki Phase 2 by asamwababy: 10:41am On Aug 15, 2018
Madam i respect you guys for dropping this tranny of the jaguar X type.
v
A popular autoshop in Ikeja took 1 month to drop engine and tranny.

Eventually, i abandoned car with them for 6 months as i was tired of constant follow up before they provided a Kazeem solution to my issue.

Vehicle was eventually sold at a stupid price because each time the Jag goes in there it comes out with a bill of nothing less than 200k.

Congratulate us when we get it back IN lol. Just joking. We're used to dropping these. If parts are available, we have 2-3 day turnaround for these.

I have owned this car for 6 years and it has really served me well over the years but the engine is weak, started emitting smoke, so sometimes in March, I had it ringed, I'm still not comfortable with the job done.

I'm ready to change the car to Tokumbo grade again. I have actually started and I've spent more than 400k on the car from March till now already.

It looks very good already but u want it scanned and get a new Toks engine that would make me enjoy the car till I can afford a new one.

I'm bringing it to Lagos, I don't wanna be scammed or given bad products, who can help me out, I was advised not to go to Ladipo or Itire on my own, I need a VW specialist who can handle my car and bring it back to life.

Yes, you can bring it to the shop and we'll help you find a replacement (if that's what's best) and do the work. We will of course need to know what the 400k worth of work done to it was and any magical kazeemization along the way.

Also, we do not recommend switching to a larger engine because of ac and would not do it if that's what you want.

But does she actually work on cars? I have enough service advisors. Will she be able to relocate? We wouldn't be able to help her do so at this time. If all yeses, would love to see her CV.
