dapotemi:There might be some difference and twist. Will she give you the brake pad to take to any mechanic of your choice? Or to do a DIY? Or do they ask you to pay for replacement labor which in actual sense could cover cost of pads. The one I am talking about is, you just go there with the old pads, give it to them and collect new pads and go home. No other transactions. 4 Likes |

earthrealm: I guess that's why we install surge protectors or arrestors and stabilizers to ensure that we reduce the likelihood of damage. Infact anyone using sensitive electronics without those in Nigeria has a lot of faith or a lot of money to spare 1 Like |

mufutau55:True talk, all those long years of warranty are scam. Those technology will be outdate before those ten years. You wont even find the parts, the will then tell you to add more money to get the latest technology. When you do, the difference wont make any sense. Please shine your eyes, be reminded that you're are giving those sales people money. Those warranty fees, sales people get some percentage of it as their bonus, that is why they we do anything to convince you to buy warranty. I know this from a friend, use to be reginal store manager. He managed 45 stores across States |

sonnie10: They have a franchise for CarQuest - I'm sure you've seen them in the USA. I consider the RadAutoWorks family friends. Despite some contrary opinion, Seun and his NairaLand platform has made serious and savvy users millions of naira over the decade. I've sold at least 10 plots of land to NairaLanders over the past 365 days. I'll always be grateful. I think NairaLand is very good for business. The inability of some to grasp online sales and customer relation shouldn't be used as a measuring stick. I'm sure I'll be a lousy yam seller at Ojo Oba and blame the market at the end - lol. If you ever visit RadAutoWorks you'll get the same feeling as if you entered AuzoZone - I guarantee you. 4 Likes |

EgunMogaji2:Your frustration start making sense. I don't think the owner is even aware they are drilling his borehole at nigh. You don't want to know how much its cost me when a delivery truck drive to me site per day because of these miscreants Omo Onile. Some of them can kill because of 5k naira my brother, the day I saw it with mine korokoro eyes when my driver is arguing with them when we follow truck to site. My brother when one of them shattered bottle in the head of the truck driver, they are asking him for 4k I end up giving them 8k not to kill this guy. Since then no more augments ooo, I become gentle man around them. 2 Likes |

kopell: It's just not right to do that in a residential environment in my humble opinion. I'll never do that to my neighbours. I am fully aware of Omo Onile. My monthly budget has a line item for gifts to the ones in my area. They have their usefulness. The machine is still there so maybe they're planning another all nighter. I'll abandon the street for them and just go check into a hotel. Shikena. 2 Likes |

My contribution to the warranty stuff. I bought a top loading LG washing machine. About 3 months later it wouldn’t complete the cycle. Called LG and they sent a nice technician out who tested the machine fine and that it was the low voltage in my neighborhood causing it. Sure enough when I on’d the gen, the issue wasn’t there. Last year I bought a 70” LG TV. Few weeks after lightning struck and took out one of the internal system boards. Even though it was plugged into a stabilizer and the house allegedly has both ground and thunder arrestor. Allegedly because I paid for it. So it’s my opinion that yes they honor warranty. I haven’t tested long term yet but I doubt I’ll ever keep any of these modern electronics for ten years. Oh, I’ll never buy any extended warranty either. I’m okay playing the numbers. Your mileage may vary. 2 Likes |

Good day Gents. Can someone please talk about the central solar water heaters and how one can benefit from it in Nigeria. I was reading through old pages and I came across some few posts on it suggesting it is only achievable when incorporated in the initial building plan. Does anyone use this or has knowledge on this? And for deep freezers, would buying a standalone solar deep freezer so as to reduce the load on a solar system one will want to incorporate, a wise decision than just factoring in your regular deep freezer into your solar system set-up budget? Thanks 1 Like |

Kingdemu: Solar water is good if you want to install one in your on going project. Although it's a huge cost buying it. I have not seeing any solar freezer but to me fridge and freezer consume less power compare to other heating equipment |

Kingdemu:It is financially not possible using same amount of cash that would buy a semi detached duplex in a gated estate in the locations mentioned to buy a plot and build a fully detached duplex in a 'typical Abuja Satellite town'. You will spend a little near double of the amount for the semi detached duplex!! The cost of a plot of land in a 'typical Abuja Satellite town' has escalated since Bello became FCT Minister. I'ld suggest that you buy the semi detached duplex in any of those location because currently your expectation on the Satellite town can not be met. |

Born2conquer: Where is this? You see why our economy is the way it is. The same thing is going on at almost every segment. No value added. The same leather we export for 20k (less than $40) is processed and sold back to us for $1000 per whole cow size. Similar situation with cocoa. A full jute bag of cocoa is sold for less than the price of a packet of chocolate bar. The other day I saw processed finished oak plank of 6 feet length for $40 a piece on Home Depot. While we sell correct mahogany of 12 feet (unprocessed) for less than #5k ( about $5 for 6 feet length) The biggest pocket drain. We export crude oil to pay subsidies for refined products, at the detriment of the country’s fiscal reserve. 2 Likes |
