Awon "replace geng" are not going to like this grin

This is why we don't like remote diagnosis and I tend not to answer diagnosis questions on NL- well that and I'm tired of providing free education to the same "gurus" who insult me only to turn around and use the same knowledge they condemned.

Bring the car for us to lay hands on and then we can tell you the problem. Even brain box sef dem don change undecided

Since the rings were bad, I guess he should have been experiencing oil burn too with the telltale sign of bluish smoke.

This car actually belongs to a NLer. Repair bill was 1.3m but customer brought their own parts so labor came to about 200k. Repairs are ongoing.

Hi,

I called the shop to book an appointment yesterday and the person I spoke to (male voice) told me I could bring the vehicle today.

He didn't ask for my name, number or anything so I asked him "how would you know it's me when I arrive tomorrow" and he said there was no need and that I could check in anytime from 9am.

I drove 42km to the shop only for them to tell me that all the spaces are filled and they may be able to have someone attend to me in another 2 hours.

"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 undecided"


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 undecided

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.
