Yes we are M-F for now. In-house we keep Carquest brands in both synthetic and conventional. We also bring in Mobil, Castrol, Valvoline, Pennzoil, Quaker State as needed with a 6-10 day time. FYI. Carquest motor oil depending on which one is actually Amalie high performance oil from back in the day or sometimes Valvoline.

or the amsoil alternative. is the pennzoil really that good? u r not the only person that recommends it

Pennzoil doesn't actually have the best reputation in the US... We like Valvoline or Mobil much more.

obekediamondfuto:


OK thanks.

rdautos how much is the 5quartz can?

If you are talking about Pennzoil, we quoted someone else for it right after you asked. Pennzoil is almost triple the price of house brand with a one qt bottle at N8,030 and five quart jug at N25,550 + shipping 6-10 day delivery.

Thank you guys for the support. We've been having some pretty steady traffic at the store. So far, it's been pleasant.

Rears not in stock but can be brought in 6-10 days. Let me know if you want pricing.

There are pre-assembled ones in stock for the fronts but they are more expensive. The ones I quoted you are easy to put on though. Monroe is a leader in their field.

Madam, you’re going to spoil the natives rotten

~$14/hr to work on a Mercedes and Lexus?

I just hope folks recognize this amazing deal from an American level shop.

Hello radautoworks

Please I need front brake pads for a Toyota Camry 2003. How much will it cost? I read up there that you offer installation services. Kindly share your address in Lekki

Shhhh don't tell o! LOL

It was a hard pill for me to swallow too when I converted but people earn Naira not Dollars so I couldn't use the same metrics we do over there (though $85-105/hour is mighty nice and i'm going to miss it). Same labor rate across the board unless it's specialty work. We can always go up if need be. Much harder to come down. We're not out here trying to make a killing on single transactions. We are trying to build loyalty and to revolutionize.

Hello,

I assumed 2003 Toyota Camry V6.

There are two options. Gold ceramic and silver semi-metallic. I prefer ceramic but it's not necessary with your car. I will give you both options.

Thanks for the swift update. The car is 4plug not V6.
@bolded, I would love to cut cost if you say the more expensive option is not necessary for my car, although I have noted differences in warranty periods. There's a bit of a challenge with distance. I wonder whether I can transfer the funds to your account while you dispatch same to Victoria Island?

Off peak period (minimal traffic) it should not take you more than 15min from VI to the location. It is immediately after the chevron toll gate.

I would go with the silver brakes for your car. Yes, it's a different warranty but you won't need it either way. The quote is the same for a four cylinder for the brakes. Unfortunately we are not delivering yet. You can however have someone pick up for you. I'm not sure how you would get the installation done with us that way though

Are you not considering having a marketing department,which will involve having executives who can do office to office kind of awareness with fleet managers,presentations and other sales activities.

Having motor bikes do deliveries will go a long way.the customer will pay for the delivery.

I am sales and marketing professional,I would not mind to design a route market for you and help develop a marketing team. The gain will enormous in this kind of our society.

I meant we have our in-house team already. We are an American franchise so all those departments already exist.

If yes please how much?

Good morning, sorry we do not sell body parts. That falls under our sister company Alta Mere. We carry the bulbs but not the actual assemblies, etc.

Hi Radautoworks,

Do you have brake parts cleaner? What brand and cost? Can you send to Abuja?

I have to say that it’s refreshing to see “structure” in a Nigerian business.

How much will it cost to diagnose noise from suspension of 2012 Highlander?

radautoworks:
If you've never heard of Carquest, google them. They have expanded to Nigeria. They sell original parts that all come with warranties of anywhere from 3 months to 1 year. They also sell all the CORRECT oils for each vehicle. They are located in Lekki right after the second toll gate. There is also a repair shop for an American franchise called Milex and Mr. Transmission. Again, google if you don't know who they are. If you lived in the colder states in the US, you've probably heard of them. They warranty their work with the same warranties Carquest offers. If you are tired of street mechanics F'ing up your car or dealers charging exhorbitant prices for work they didn't do, you should probably check them out.

They will be opening a total of 10 stores across Nigeria and warranties will be good at any of the stores. They will provide for ALL major car brands not just american cars. Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, BMW, etc.

*update customer service can be reached at support@radautoworks.com, 0803 419 7461 and 0908 306 4719

DISCLAIMER: I am on the board of directors for these stores and this is a passion project for me because the state of auto repair in this country is ridiculous. Having returned home, we are merely trying to bring the minimum level of service we are used to from the USA to Nigeria. I hope this post doesn't violate Nairaland rules.

Weldon, More of this, projects like this gladdens my heart, at least the young men and women can be trained with such facilities to carry out their services in the proper manner. Kudos to you guys.
