Feedback On Rad Autoworks by Nobody: 10:57pm On Nov 23, 2018
This is an unsolicited feedback and I’m a paying customer.

I took an opportunity to visit the establishment today and left feeling very impressed.

The aura of entering a foreign motivated store was immediately evident and satisfying as soon as I swung open the door.

The layout and display of accessories and tools instantly made me feel comfortable.

I was given a quick tour of the premises by one of the owners. And the shop showed seriousness of work.

There were at least 8 bays with various lifts including heavy vehicles lift and an automated alignment lift. Most, if not all the bays were filled with vehicles under repair.

The parts warehouse was well organized. It’s truly a sight to behold.

I purchased Seafoam and Coolant mix for an impending repair on my truck.

My takeaway is that if you’re a returnee, especially a female returnee, who has tasted automotive professionalism then you owe yourself and your car a visit there to inquire and make your own decision. I recommend them.

Thank you.

I was at Rad Auto yesterday,I had an appointment for 1pm and was there 12:58pm. The building is conspicuously situated, you can't miss it.The atmosphere is something else to what majority of us are used to in this part of the world.The front desk is well kept, the sales items were well arranged and displayed to catch the attention of prospective customers. The workshop boast of state of the art equipment. There is no empty bay for diagnosis and repairs. Like Aunty Radu rightly said booking of appoint ment is highly recommended. The Jam Rock Caribbean restaurant is on the right hand side immediately you entered the glass house.

I went there for the diagnosis of a Honda Accord V6 2003 model.The car was scanned and the DTC were explained to me. However, there is this particular sound coming from the suspension that I complained about. While being test driven the lower ball joint of the driver decided to pulled right at entrance of the outside car park. That is how the car slept at Radautos.

Aunty Radu I need your advise concerning the car.

Did they manage to get it inside or is it outside and did they diagnose and give you an estimate?

The car was outside as at the time I left but the mechanic assured me that it will be taking inside. The diagnosis will be completed by Monday and estimate given thereafter.

That will do, its a T5, 2.5l engine.

Didn't see any price quotes via the link, and I want to believe that the $17,509 I'm seeing you post here is a typo

So what's the diagnosis?

The retrieved DTC codes are:
P0135 Oxygen sensor bbank1 sensor 1
P2628 Oxygen sensor pumping current trim too high
P0430 Catalyst system efficiency
P0741 Torque converter clutch solenoid circuit

The challenge now is that the car is still outside your premises since Saturday because of the ball joint pull. I will supply the ball joint due to lack of fund to buy MOOG ball joint while the shop charge for labour cost. It is after fixing the ball joint that we will work on the last DTC code P0741 which has to do with "Torque converter clutch solenoid circuit"
