Sorry for the late response, the lower ball joint was fixed on Thursday and the car was picked up on Saturday afternoon. That was last week to be precise. I didn't leave empty handed, bought a 5quarts Carquest 5w-20 conventional oil. I'm still coming back for the Trans automatic transmission stop leak oil.

Hello, we don't advice it.

Well, I was at Radautoworks this morning, and I can’t say I’m impressed.

They first billed me N43k to scan my car and bring up the same codes I already showed them when I got there.

Okay, after explaining the codes, they sent me bill just to “open up the engine and reinstall it” to “inspect”. That’s over N350k without solving the issue oh.

I told them I will not just pay any amount without even knowing what the cost of repairs is first. After wasting hours of my time there, they sent me the bill to have the camshaft and timing chain replaced. Over N6m. Not for engine oh. Camshaft and timing chain. For a 2011 ML350.

How much is engine? How much is the car?

Una never ready.

I don't think you have enough information about the ride you drive. Your engine should be an M276 I presume. You are too quick to ask about how much an engine cost neglecting those vital information you need to have so you don't go the money pit. However, its your choice shebi na engine cheap pass. No wahala na for this kind M276 you go know say no be everytime dem dey rush go buy engine. Good luck on your quest

Okay, thank you. And I don’t think you have enough information about the ride I drive. W164 now uses M276 engine?? Lol, okay.

Let’s even assume the cost of a 2011 ML350 engine is N8m, doesn’t it make sense to you that a part costs N6m. I can as well just buy a new engine.

It’s like saying transmission is N2m, but to fix a part of the gear is N1.5m. Does that make any sense?

It’s quite obvious you don’t understand anything I’m saying, so I won’t even bother responding any further.

So I'm going to step in here and comment. First off, the staff broke the cardinal rule of giving a quote without an engine teardown because you didn't want one and were in a rush. It is impossible to give you an accurate quote without finding out exactly what's wrong internally. So they gave you a guess-timate which was overly broad which you demanded since it is easier to give you a lower quote when you are ready, than a higher one. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT no matter how much pressure they were under.

That being said, it is standard practice to charge for a teardown in a case like this. The cost of the tear down is deducted from the cost of repair. The only time you pay for the tear down is if you choose not to repair the car. Without being allowed to fully diagnose your car, that's all I can really tell you. Had I been present, I would not have given a quote at all as I had nothing to accurately base a quote on. I was livid when I saw the quote, but because you blocked us, I had no way to reach you.

Hopefully that makes things clearer. The quote is completely useless and they got an earful from me.

Yes, it does because a used engine of unknown origin versus new warrantied parts are NOT the same. Also, chances are when a proper teardown is done, only one or two parts are replaced, not the entire list.

Valtteri:

I will reiterate, those are NOT the parts to be fixed. Those are the possible parts to be fixed since you wouldn't let us properly diagnose. You probably only need one or two. It may work better for you to take it to Ladipo and let them tear it down there and let you know which ones you need🤷🏾‍♀️

They told you I was in a rush?? They are mad. I was prepared to wait there. I was there from 11am till 4 already. I even told her I live not too far. In a rush as how? On a weekend?? I was prepared to wait.

Even the cost of the labour, she didn’t explain. She was expecting me to drop the car, pay for all that, then they will let me know the cost of what needs to be fixed. And I’m like, I won’t pay more than 400k and the issue hasn’t been addressed. So I left.

I’m NOT going to spend N6m on a “possibility”.

All these you’re saying now, they DID NOT mention. Perhaps it’s best to allow people that are knowledgeable in this line of business be at the front desk.

Which was why I didn’t even bother sending a message again

Radauto already has metal illness
Leave them for mugu them.
Ole.
It's like calling an electrician at home to come and change lightning and wiring then they now slam u 500k for a change of 10k shey u no go run.na naija we dey.labour with parts no costs arm and leg.
Olay

I checked the cameras and four different people tried to explain to you. I apologize if they were not clear.
