dTransporter:
Good Morning Ma'am,

Thinking about doing a thorough check on my car. This is my first time booking an appointment with your guys as i just got to know about them. Hopefully, they get to sort my car out.

I'm currently trying to booking an appointment with your team to help do some checks on my Honda Accord. I currently have my D drive sign blinking. I understand this has to do with my transmission so I am hoping to do a scan to know the exact problem and from there switch to the recommended DW1.

But the part where I am to fill in my number keep saying the number that I entered is invalid.

The format that I am using is => +234-000-000-0000

Please, how do I resolve this to successfully make a booking?

radautoworks:


First, thank you . Second, drop the international format and the zero on the front.

dTransporter:



I have been able to book an appointment in the morning. But I am yet to get confirmation and I am a bit skeptical if I should proceed tomorrow to your office or wait?

radautoworks:
you will. Don't worry. You can come in.

radautoworks:


Just checked and it was confirmed.

dTransporter:


Thanks. I've seen the confirmation mail.

Fingers crossed, everything should go smoothly.

"But why are their parts so expensive if as they claim they have no middle man and are direct with manufacturers? Afterall they are a Carquest "


Ladies and gentlemen, the answer is simple-NIGERIA. No matter how honest you try to be the system encourages illegal behavior.

Case in point an issue I am actively wrestling as we speak that has been progressively getting worse over the past year.

When you import parts worth $1,800 (complete with manufacturer invoices attached to the pallet), pay shipping of $1,700 and customs decides that they know better than the manufacturer and says the goods cost $8,000 then hands you a duty bill of N1.6m ($3,333), what price can you then sell to your customer for? We fight it and usually get it down somebut that usually delays deliveries by 3-4 weeks

Could we do like others and smuggle? Yes, we could but why would we put such a large investment at risk? We believe in transparency and doing things the right way but when a system takes advantage of that, what is your recourse? Despite that, we have never passed on the cost to the customer and simply relied on a low margin-high volume model.

So the next time you feel that Carquest prices are high, don't blame us, blame the system. I'm all ears if anyone has A LEGAL way to bring prices lower for our customers.

See images below.

I noticed this when I had a business that used DHL for the importation of laptops to Nigeria. I also used DHLfor some automotive deliveries. The duty rate for car parts is so high. Nowadays, I don't even bother, I just use a freight forwarder and have no business with customs. While these big weight logistics companies are super efficient, I think sometimes they connive with customs in the whole issue. Could be wrong though.

crackhaus:

Good day ma'am, I want to change the front (driver's side) shocks on my Honda Civic 2007. Is it advisable to change just that one or does it have to be both (front) shocks?

Also, what's the cost?

radautoworks:
hello, we recommend changing both but if the other one is relatively new and the mounts are fine, then you can change just one.
