With the increase in ordering used cars overseas, someone might find this information useful https://news.yahoo.com/cars-most-likely-engine-rebuild-100013746.html The common concern with cars as they age is dependability—not only that they may not get you to work one day but also that a catastrophic failure could cost thousands of dollars. Major problems are rare in general, but they do happen. To understand how often such problems occurred, we analyzed data on older models from our Annual Autos Surveys to see which have the highest problem rates for major systems that often require expensive repairs. Three problems areas stood out: engine, head gasket, and transmission. With some models, these problems occur with surprising frequency at a certain age and mileage. Engine problems are among the greatest mechanical nightmares for their inconvenience, expense, and time to repair. We found that there are more than a dozen older models with problems serious enough to require engine rebuilds. “Engine failure can be caused by many things,” says John Ibbotson, Consumer Reports’ chief mechanic. “Some engine rebuilds are needed due to low compression from worn piston rings, resulting in lack of power, misfiring, or excessive oil consumption, while others suffer from crankshaft or connecting rod bearing failure, signaled by a knocking sound.” Due to the difficulty and time required to rebuild an engine, often shops will replace the original engine with one that has been remanufactured. An Audi A4 owner reported, “We have put over $12,000 into this car. Something breaks, we fix it. Something else breaks, we have to fix it. We are retirement age and cannot buy a new car.” It can be a challenge finding the right shop to take on a major repair, which requires talent, time, and parts. A Mini Cooper owner wrote, “Cylinder number three failed while on the highway, at cruising speed. Not only is a replacement motor very expensive, but no local shop wants to do the job, because of the complexity.” To help warn both current owners and used-car shoppers, we compiled a list of 10 models that stood out as having the most severe problems, as determined by frequency and cost. They are presented below in rank order, starting with the one with the highest problem rate. We include the model year with the greatest problems (and when applicable, a range of years affected by this problem), the typical mileage range when the problem occurs, and where possible, we recommend similar alternative vehicles without this concern. If no alternatives are presented, that means similar cars had the same issue or another significant problem. The journey to 200,000 miles can be a bumpy one, but it doesn't have to be if you start with a good, reliable car and properly maintain it, per the directions in the owner’s manual. Consumer Reports always recommends shoppers consult the reliability ratings, based on our large-scale member surveys, to predict the models that have better odds of being trouble-free. This detailed data can be found on our car model pages. 2010 Audi A4 2.0T Model years affected: 2009-2010 Typical mileage: 107,000-153,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Lexus ES, 2008-2010 Infiniti G, 2009-2010 Acura TL 2008 Ford F-350 6.4L diesel Typical mileage: 65,000-119,000 Alternatives: None 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Typical mileage: 102,500-133,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2003-2004 Toyota Matrix 2008 Mini Cooper/Clubman Model years affected: 2008-2009 Typical mileage: 122,000-129,500 Alternatives without this problem: 2008 Mazda3 2010 Chevrolet Equinox/GMC Terrain Typical mileage: 84,500-108,500 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Honda CR-V, 2008-2010 Toyota RAV4 2006 Jeep Wrangler 2.4L Typical mileage: Approximately 150,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2004-2008 Toyota 4Runner 2010 Cadillac SRX Typical mileage: Approximately 130,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Lexus RX, 2010 Acura MDX 2003 Acura MDX Typical mileage: Approximately 190,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2003-2005 Lexus RX 2006 Buick Lucerne Typical mileage: 116,000-143,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2006 Lexus GS, 2004-2008 Toyota Avalon 2010 GMC Acadia Typical mileage: 106,000-129,000 Alternatives without this problem: 2008-2010 Toyota Highlander |

Madam radu, from the Uber thread. Pls, I was with a company I had relationship with earlier today and I notice, from conversation that they need a company like yours, that will help in maintaining their vehicles. Right now they use metropolitan but I think they want another. Immediately I remember you and I directed them to you, I quickly Google radautoworks and I got this number= 08034197461. I gave it to them, they also said one of their drivers will check you out, I gave your address also. They're in V. I, with about 50 vehicles or thereabouts, Mostly Toyota.. Pls, is the phone number right? |

Covid is a liar. While it showed down our supply chain for a while we are back better and faster than ever! As usual, we keep trying to find ways to bring prices down for you. If the trial period is successful, you will be able to look up inventory and prices yourself online and we will be able to cut prices 10-15%!

Dear NLers, We are glad to announce the introduction of Carquest Weblink, your 24/7 electronic connection to Carquest/Rad Auto Works. This system allows you to view pricing of parts, tools, accessories and fluids and inventory at both the Lagos and Florida distribution centers! Simply add items to your cart and email or call with the part numbers to place an order. We are opening it to you before the general public to get your feedback as you have been so good to us in the past. Visit http://weblink.carquest.com/ username cust498 password Password1 HOW DOES THIS WORK? 1) Login in and find the part you want. USE THE ABOKIFX.COM EXCHANGE RATE FOR THE DAY. 2) Email support@radautoworks.com, call or use our part request form at https://www.mrtransmissionmilexnigeria.com/parts-request or https://www.radautoworks.com/parts-request and choose pickup or delivery (for a fee). If the item is neither at Lekki nor Ocala, FL one of our auto assistants will check our other 17 distribution centers and invoice you. Once payment is received, order is shipped or held for pickup. 3) Sit back and wait for your part to arrive. If it is coming from Florida, expect 7-14 business days though it is frequently faster. If it is coming from one of our other distribution centers please add another week. Shipping to the Lekki Warehouse is usually included though certain items like rotors will incur additional shipping charges. PLEASE NOTE THAT NIGERIAN WARRANTIES ARE HALF OF STATED USA WARRANTIES. IN THE EVENT THE USA WARRANTY SAYS LIFETIME, THE NIGERIAN WARRANTY IS 2 YEARS EXCEPT FOR BRAKE PADS. BRAKE PADS ARE AS FOLLOWS: SILVER (1 YEAR), GOLD (2 YEAR), PLATINUM (LIFETIME).

radautoworks: Doesn't appear to be listed. Only things there are front strut mounts and bellows. Also, the system may need some fine-tuning. I searched for power steering hose and saw PS fluid listed instead. |

HeavenlyBang:EDITED: It's intentionally built to show related items especially if what you're looking for is not available. The power steering hose is not a specialized hose that's why it didn't come up in that search. It's under heavy duty chemicals, accessories and tools. See picture for hoses Available through our sister Worldpac. Bilstein B8 Performance Plus $248 each.
