Crocif:


Just had a conversation with my wife and we agreed to bring it back on March 27 (a Saturday). It's the earliest time we will be available by our schedule. I hope this works?

OP I feel your pain, I know what you are going through right now.
I must say that I am disappointed with the services you got and the explaination given by Radauto and some few people on this thread.

A motor vehicle today is one of the easiest machinery to troubleshoot and fix, this is why people without any form of education can do it by the road side without any complex tools.
I see a post where someone was trying to justify the poor service you got as the norm in engineering.

This is not true and I don't agree..if engineering is based on trial by error then airplanes will be falling from the sky every minute,cars will be falling apart every second and ships will be sinking every day.

I expect everyone involved in your bad experience to accept their flaws, apologize to you and make improvements for the future.

Also, I want you to have it at the back of your mind that expensive bills most times doesn't translate to a better service.
Like someone said before, the day you decide to buy a car is the day you become a mechanic, know things about your vehicle, Research about your dream vehicle..... even before you buy it, learn from other people's experiences.....e.t.c

Nigerian mechanics and scam.

Using big English to confuse customers.

Sir, if the smoke coming from your engine early in the morning is small, then it's normal. There is no worry about that. If the engine still drops liquid while steaming early in the morning, there is no problem with your engine.

Once you don't have issues with power and acceleration. Once the exhaust doesn't smoke while you are driving.

radautoworks:
sounds good. Please give us a time window when we get closer.

grafixdon:
I understand that the op have every right to be upset, considering the amount of money he has spent on the said vehicle, the stress and time consumed, but I still think the thrend is too early. Give them the benefit of doubt, take the car back, I'm sure you'll fix it to your taste this time.

Op. So sorry for your predicament, but pls take advantage of the warranty. Peace

Crocif:


Okay, but I don't think the thread was opened prematurely. If everything had gone well and I opened a thread praising the organization would you still say it was opened prematurely?

nurey:


You are looking for a perfect being, you concentrate more on flaws of people reason why you see bad in everything they do, you have in no way rendered any tangible help or advice to op but you want to soil the madams name probably because of sentiments your "fingered" response says it all.

The op has agreed to return the vehicle and they have come to a compromise desist from bring them down syndrome it will do you no good.

shortgun:

I am not bringing anyone down oga but if someone pays for a service shouldn't the person get what he paid for?
If I bring the auto shop down, will I open one tomorrow?
I am a business person and I expect Radauto to listen more to critics like me and make improvements then praise singers like you and remain stagnant.

There's no excuse when someone doesn't get value for money spent...no matter how you lots wants to colour it.
If the OP was satisfied with the services do you think he would open this thread?
FYI my [b]Fingered[/b]response is still valid for this discussion.

It's good that the person concerned have agreed to look into the issue(s) OP raised.
There won't have been any need for this thread in the first place if the OP's complaints was addressed when he went to pick up the vehicle in their workshop.

Most times you need to call Nigerians out before they do the right thing.....even banks do this and I wonder why.
#peace

I don't understand why people cast so much trust on Nigerian people such that when the sky comes falling down, they have nothing to hold unto but a free fall into total confusion.

I don't know how ur car drove for 4 months and became a nightmare but all of these would have been avoided if you had your obd scanner.

it's not enough to say your car did this and did that when you've not even understand how the car behaves first. Talking about spark plugs which u bought for 40k, how exactly did you decide or know you were due for plugs change.

pls did you actually buy 6 iridium spark plugs for 40k Mr? I remember when my car pulled out codes for misfire on cyl 1, 4, and a code for random misfire, I gave my mech guy 2k for 6 toks iridium spark plugs which run like a jet on my Lexus even after 4 months.

pls what manner of repair bill did they tell you is 1.3m and which narrowed down to #250k and ur engine was not even replaced?

I have a couple of advice man, to save your time, money and energy, take your time to learn about that car so you can followup with the repairs like I do on my Lexus.

secondly, do a little research on the best hands in acura repairs in ur area because from the look of things, the professionalism u highlighted in ur post didn't matter anymore as ur problems persisted after so much money and time invested.

there are competent hands without a front desk officer that can follow up with obd and time up your car saving you time energy and money. if they tell you to change your engine, you'll be sure what you're getting into.

find them

Seems low oil pressure pinging is very common on Acura MDX.

That monster sensor is very difficult to defeat, you just had to live with it.....

9icetoo:


A bit common on the 07/08 models. Not so on others.

There was a TSB on it. Replace sensor and update ECU. Problem solved. It isnt a monster that can't be surmounted. The low oil warning pings is the least of OPs worries. It's the blue smoke and leaking fluids that's my worry. Everything that can leak was leaking.

radautoworks:

sir, we can't tell you that because that would be untrue. There are a couple of cars we have rejected before so I won't say it's unheard of. You have a warranty. Please use it. Please bring it back to complete whatever is still the problem.

Radu, you have done well.. just be sure to follow up on his repairs when car is returned to ensure car is in an acceptable state..

That would be a perfect resolution..

Crocif:


Okay. I Will let you know some days before the agreed date.

Thank you.

radautoworks:
I just realized you said 27th not 17th. If the car is still leaking I would highly recommend bringing it in sooner rather than later.

When matured people thrash out issues, it is always a delight to read. We look forward to the end of this transaction.

Crocif, I'd appreciate if this thread isn't shut down when all has been resolved. It will serve as a lesson on maturity for Nairalanders.

Mummy radutoworks, well done.

Hi,

We have been able to adjust our schedule. We will make out time on Wednesday (day after tomorrow) to bring the vehicle.

I hope the timing is okay?

Crocif:


I thought about taking the thread down (if possible) because of a very negative comment I saw against radautoworks. Maybe I will report it instead so the comment is hidden.
