I want to talk about BMW 3 series as well as the 5series in comaparism, but focusing more on 3series because that is the type I always see around, now I want to know the the real things about BMW that made it look like a big luxury car, are how good are they in Nigerian roads compare to Japanese cars, are they very reliable as Mercedes benz, are their spare parts readily available in our markets, why do most people avoid BMs and volks even when they are regarded as German machines, I love the 3series but I am scared of getting one because I don't see many of it on our roads, |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 6:33pm On Sep 17, 2020 |
nonhuman: Is like to start by saying I hate BMW. Just a personal thing lol Now that's out of the way, they are driver cars. Definitely german engineering and precision. They're good on the road, nimble and decent suspension. I'm not to versed in the spare part market in Nigeria as we don't dabble in it and import all our parts. NOW on to the reason why people about BMW and VW... TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND THE AFOREMENTIONED GERMAN ENGINEERING. you will be hard pressed to find a kazeem that knows what he is doing with either brand. Why? German engineering is quite unlike the rest. There are some things they do on cars that make sense to them but to other manufacturers it's like Easy tasks on other cars can easily take hours on bmw, Audi and vw due to creative positioning of parts. (Which begs the question why someone with a BMW is going to a kazeem but that's a story for another day). They're beautiful machines but PROPER maintenance for most part is more expensive than other brands and the minute you have something electrical happen, na big money be that.. And that's if you can find someone who knows what they are doing. That's why for example even these vw golf you constantly see them mangled beyond recognition on NL with people putting engines that don't belong. Rewires have a field day with them. TLDR if you love to drive, take EXCELLENT care of your cars, can afford the maintenance and have a GOOD shop who knows what they are doing and don't have a large family, I see no reason not to get a 3 series.... Except for the fact I hate them 1 Like |

radautoworks: Hold up, and correct me if I am wrong. If the Toyota has multiple cylinders misfire and dumping fuel down the exhaust. I thought the first thing to do is scan for codes, fix misfiring cylinders and hope the catalytic convey has not been damaged yet. He said it was not clogged yet,but hope it is still doing it's job. OP drives an Avalon and he has to take it to a proper shop to have it fixed or it will be the beginning of the end. That is the kind of advice he needs |

I got to work yesterday with my car stereo blasting in the morning and during even when I wanted to go, I started the car, the stereo was playing but no sound. I don't know why. Then I was going to top up gas and as I pressed the fuel tank to open, the speakers started producing sound. Today again it happened, no sound in the morning but I usually pick up a coworker on my way, then I pressed the central lock button for her to get in, the speakers started working. I pulled over at the road side, spoke to one mechanic, he said I should meet one technician that repairs TV and radio, I doubt if this guy understands anything. I feel there's a glitch somewhere I dunno. Then I also noticed my AC is underperforming. First, ice stopped coming out of the vents on level 2 after 30 mins drive which I noticed about 2 weeks ago, then the passenger vent is cooler than the driver vents I checked with a clinical thermometer I borrowed from the coworker, then ordinary warm air is what I get now from the AC. This car is Lexus es 04 and I've had it for 5 months. |

Hello Ma'am, @Radautoworks, I called your office for an appointment to get my transmission checked and repaired but was told that won't be possible at the moment, and no definite time to call back. Kindly advise. Thanks |

NEW STOCK Been getting a lot of questions about fuel treatments and octane boosters lately. We have MANY in stock. This is some of the lastest addition of fluid treatments, boosters and sealants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7Pr9Hs4GoA Last pictures, I thought you might like to see inside the Florida distribution center. Each Carquest/Advance distribution center carries $20-40 MILLION in parts at any given time. Yes, that is the famous Glen with the dreadlocks.

Where the Ladipo people make you come see parts distribution, not the trash yard we are proud of. We should stop bragging about rubbish and work towards excellence. |

My 2005 Toyota Corolla (bank type) make rattling and annoying noise anytime I apply brake while on motion, what could be the cause? Help me please car gurus in the house. |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 2:26am On Sep 21, 2020 |
J0hnTrevolt: One more thing. If you checked the sparks and coils and they were fine, check your oxygen sensor. |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 2:37am On Sep 21, 2020 |
Paulagada: Front or rear? One side or both? Check your backing plate. |

Is it advisable to buy new original bearing to put inside hub than buying a tokunbo hub? Car is a 2005 corolla, the more I accelerate, the more the humming sound increases. |

radautoworks: Have you considered offering warranties? Like Carmax bumper to bumper warranties? I bet there are people who'd be willing to pay decent money yearly for a comprehensive repair warranty. 1 Like |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 5:07pm On Oct 03, 2020 |
HeavenlyBang: Tried annual maintenance plan but only two people bit. |
Re: Repairs by HeavenlyBang(m): 5:11pm On Oct 03, 2020 |
radautoworks: How much? |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 5:17pm On Oct 03, 2020 |
HeavenlyBang: It was this but anyone could get it. Offered it Dec 2018 and Sept 2019. Didn't bother this year. Also came with 6 free diags for the vehicle too apart from the ones you get at each service so basically unlimited for the year.

Re: Repairs by HeavenlyBang(m): 5:22pm On Oct 03, 2020 |
radautoworks: That's actually not all bad. Especially if someone has a Euro car that requires 8 quarts of oil. I was thinking more along the line of a complete warranty, though. |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 5:31pm On Oct 03, 2020 |
HeavenlyBang: Too risky in our environment. We would have to do it on case by case basis with a full emblem to tail pipe assessment and people won't be ready to pay. That's was the closest we could come up with. I'm open to ideas. |
