banky3w: Hello, We carry Carquest's Wearever silver, gold and platinum brakes which are actually fully ceramic and way better. We have your rotors as well. You will be able to get them done late June. I apologize for the delay in my response. I was running training all week. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/carquest-wearever-platinum-professional-ceramic-brake-pads-front-4-pad-set-pxd914h/10146221-P https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/carquest-wearever-gold-ceramic-brake-pads-front-4-pad-set-gnad1160/10003135-P BTW, Advance and Carquest are the same company. 2 Likes |

obekediamondfuto: Thanks. I like the straightforward approach too.The reason we did this is because Nigeria is where the US was in the 1970s-1990s as far as auto repair. Fragmented specialist shops and dealers. Same exact conditions. This is the perfect time to revolutionise the industry. If we do this correctly, profit will be the pleasant end product. I can promise you our pricing will be fair and should be a mid-point between the independent shops and the dealers. Our labor rate will depend on the type of account and service and will range from N3,750-5,000 per hour with most typical services being at N4,125/hr. Did I mention we will be doing oil changes in 30 minutes or they are free? Our mission statement is " TO BUILD CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES THAT RESULT IN SATISFACTION AND LOYALTY" 3 Likes |

EgunMogaji: Definitely something to consider. We are NOWHERE near that expensive. Actually, we offer performance checks for free with repair. If you want us simply to do diagnoses to be taken elsewhere for repair, we charge in half hour increments to a maximum of 4 hours. 1 Like |

obekediamondfuto: Thank you for the optimism. We have brought in two options for parts each time. The budget brand that still has a warranty though it may be shorter, and the premium brand and will offer both choices for the customer to decide. Also, the N2m camry owner is definitely able to afford our shop if they keep up preventive maintenance and thus avoid huge repairs. Pricing will not be based on the worth of car. Simply on the cost of parts for the car and the labor the book says it should take, not emotion or the perceived depth of the customer's pocket. In rare cases, if a customer truely cannot affor a repair, we may use the customer's part but will not be able to offer a warranty. At least we will be able to get them back on the road. This is because of contractual agreements with our parent company in the USA. 3 Likes |

Fantastic initiative OP. It is my hope that businesses such as yours will continue to spring up and grow in Nigeria. The prevalence of substandard parts and subpar skills is saddening, especially for a country of that size and potential. As already mentioned by some, the road will not be easy. knowing my Naija, there will be challenges with manpower ( not just skillwise but orientation wise ) it is not easy to find hardworking and honest hands who buy into your dream and share your vision. Also, Consumers are largely ignorant and it will take alot to help them understand that the lower-priced option is not always the cheaper option, in the long run. One thing is for sure....There are a good number of people willing and able to buy Quality and Pay Premium ... You just need to reach the right target market. Wish you best of luck in your Venture. 1 Like |

mayor2013: Squeaks are actually caused by the materials the brakes are made of especially when they are metallic brakes. They don't necessarily mean wear if the brakes are metallic. Some also are designed to squeak to let you know wear level. It's usually ceramics that have this property though (warning squeak that is). Overseas, the brakes we use carry lifetime part warranties but here we will start with one or two years and see how it goes. 2 Likes |
