The dye, uv light, goggle etc

Dye, in stock. Others can be brought in. Honestly we don't even use the light or goggles even though we have a couple for our use.

These are on Amazon and cheap but good. Even come with the batteries. Cheaper than the ones we carry. EverBrite Black Light Headlamp UV https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2JWQFP/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_s0HiEbGG4VR10

With the increase in ordering used cars overseas, someone might find this information useful

https://news.yahoo.com/cars-most-likely-engine-rebuild-100013746.html

The common concern with cars as they age is dependability—not only that they may not get you to work one day but also that a catastrophic failure could cost thousands of dollars. Major problems are rare in general, but they do happen.

To understand how often such problems occurred, we analyzed data on older models from our Annual Autos Surveys to see which have the highest problem rates for major systems that often require expensive repairs.

Three problems areas stood out: engine, head gasket, and transmission. With some models, these problems occur with surprising frequency at a certain age and mileage.

Engine problems are among the greatest mechanical nightmares for their inconvenience, expense, and time to repair. We found that there are more than a dozen older models with problems serious enough to require engine rebuilds.

“Engine failure can be caused by many things,” says John Ibbotson, Consumer Reports’ chief mechanic. “Some engine rebuilds are needed due to low compression from worn piston rings, resulting in lack of power, misfiring, or excessive oil consumption, while others suffer from crankshaft or connecting rod bearing failure, signaled by a knocking sound.” Due to the difficulty and time required to rebuild an engine, often shops will replace the original engine with one that has been remanufactured.

An Audi A4 owner reported, “We have put over $12,000 into this car. Something breaks, we fix it. Something else breaks, we have to fix it. We are retirement age and cannot buy a new car.”

It can be a challenge finding the right shop to take on a major repair, which requires talent, time, and parts. A Mini Cooper owner wrote, “Cylinder number three failed while on the highway, at cruising speed. Not only is a replacement motor very expensive, but no local shop wants to do the job, because of the complexity.”

To help warn both current owners and used-car shoppers, we compiled a list of 10 models that stood out as having the most severe problems, as determined by frequency and cost.

They are presented below in rank order, starting with the one with the highest problem rate. We include the model year with the greatest problems (and when applicable, a range of years affected by this problem), the typical mileage range when the problem occurs, and where possible, we recommend similar alternative vehicles without this concern. If no alternatives are presented, that means similar cars had the same issue or another significant problem.

The journey to 200,000 miles can be a bumpy one, but it doesn't have to be if you start with a good, reliable car and properly maintain it, per the directions in the owner’s manual. Consumer Reports always recommends shoppers consult the reliability ratings, based on our large-scale member surveys, to predict the models that have better odds of being trouble-free. This detailed data can be found on our car model pages.

Good morning ma, quick one - do you stock Front Lower Control Arm Bushings - 08 Dodge Charger Lx RT? If yes, please tell me the lockdown hasn't affected your shipping outside Lagos? The shipping rates on Amazon and Ebay are scary and I don't want to buy "tokunbo" from the spares market here.

Which one specifically? Not in stock but I can bring it in 3 weeks $2/lb. Will be MOOG.

Thank you for the prompt response ma, the rates are fair enough considering the current naira/dollar debacle, currently out of calabar. Will try and pull it out completely to find out if i need a new arm or if it's the attached ball joint or the bushings that are bad as i suspect. And on other trivial issues, my mechanic suspects a Mercedes S Class W220 arm's bushings might be plug and play. I'll confirm all this and give you feedback the moment i get back to town. Thank you

DO you conduct training?

Hello awesome madam Radautoworks, please do you have Toyota Type IV ATF? How much?

Do you still have the coolant that need mixing

Do you do repair on leaking transmission cooler line?

Reminder

With a lot of intentional misinformation being passed around the last few days, a couple of emails I received and my responses mysteriously disappearing into the ether as they tend to do on Nairaland, I felt it necessary to be VERY clear on this topic. SO! Where do our parts come from?

OUR PARTS ONLY COME FROM ONE PLACE ADVANCE AUTO PARTS/WORLDPAC/CARQUEST DISTRIBUTION. WE DO NOT SOURCE TOKUNBO OR NEW PARTS FROM NIGERIA. CUSTOMERS ARE FREE TO SOURCE THEIR PARTS AND BRING TO US FOR INSTALLATION BUT WE WILL NOT SOURCE THEM EXTERNALLY.

When a store is owned by an individual, it is a Carquest. When it is owned by corporate, it is an Advance. That being said, Carquest/Advance owns many brands and carries over 200 lines both OEM and aftermarket. Anyone who knows anything about the auto industry and car parts knows that parts are made all over the world so the specific part will be made wherever the brand manufactures their parts i.e. Bosch=Germany, MOOG=Japan,Monroe=USA, etc.

Hopefully this brings clarity to some with questions. If not, ask away!
