THE PEOPLE ATTACKING AMDMAN CLEARLY ARE NOT DOING IT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO HELP PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS, MOST OF THEM HAVE ULTERIOR MOTIVES.
You won't see these people when amdman is posting great cars, they won't be there to encourage buyers that the car is a good car, none of them have ever encouraged buyers to go for a specific car Amdman posted, but as soon as he drops a car with one or two commas, they will all rush down to comment. Same time !!


Secondly there are so many car dealers on these forum, you still won't see any of them condemning bad cars olfrom these dealers. Or are they saying these dealers have never posted a bad car before.

No one is saying you shouldn't offer your reviews or pass comments. But as soon as those comments have motives attached, then there is no need for those comments. It simple as saying Amdman, I don't think you should advertise hybrid cars to your customers, hybrid cars are not good bla bla bla. Or amdman, that car has suspension issues, do endeavour to tell a prospective buyer before selling. SIMPLE. But y'all just go full out attack mode.

Alfred came here and posted screenshots.. the first car is obviously same, but he went and get hold of another cars pics, passing that as the same car Amdman advertised. This is clearly an attack, not a way of helping prospective customers. The two cars are different, and he clearly was trying to discredit amdman.
I have more images and he should own up for posting a different Kia to the one amdman posted. If he is not trying to bring amdman down, he won't go as far as uploading a different picture of a different car with issues and pass same as Amdman car.
The Camry is obviously right, and Amdman goofed by uploading a car with suspension issues, but the second car.. no
Also most of all other dealers do worst, bring in bad cars, repair and pass off as good cars, y'all should go and attack this people, collect the car vins and be bursting their bumbles
Just don't stay on Amdman thread alone.
PLS NOTE, I AM NOT TAKING SIDES WITH AMDMAN, I JUST HATE SEEING A PULL DOWN AT ALL COST THING[/b]

God will bless you

Joe4lv:
When you say perfume spray, what do you mean? Please, I need all the available Blunt Effects for cars like the one I bought from you last year.

How many is available and I might buy all of them available. I am waiting for your reply

Not spray, wands. Fancy term for incense

There should be at least 50 of the ones you bought last year and 50 of the incense.

mrlien:
No I’m not a mechanic but I’m sure camber has to do with suspension.

Madam there is no way that he did not see that ad. I’ve asked for car from Amdman before and after he sent pictures and prices, for some, I saw exactly the same thing when I checked on autotrader and kijiji. The Camry picture he uploaded is exact from the seller’s kijiji page. He does not need someone to help him check autotrader or kijiji, he can very well do it himself.

Well same way you don’t know for sure that Gzuzz is google mechanic but you were quick to come on here and make an assumption.

Well in this case, I know for certain that he gets cars from online car sites like any normal person/dealer would.

Have a nice day ma.

Agree to disagree.

dicksonadams:
Make una free amdman na , na only him dey sell car for nairaland? Chuu? Haba.

Na only him dey hurt dem sales

mrlien:
[s]Madam you claimed that the suspension having front right damage was incorrect. Are you aware that someone has posted the information directly from where Amdman sourced the picture from? The seller stated all known faults but in his own Ad, he chose to only disclose side mirror fault Infact the Suspension damage is in the heading of the car ad.

Oh and for the Kia, hybrid was clearly stated also in the third party ad.

Before you fans come and say maybe someone sent him the picture, I know for a fact that asides from other sources, he gets cars from websites like autotrader and Kijiji.[/s]

I didn't say suspension damage. I said camber out of spec was incorrect and I stand by it. Do you even know what camber is?

You know for sure that's the ad he saw right? You were there. It may or may not have been but you definitely know for sure right.

I am so sick and tired of you people on here who just can't WAIT to tear someone down because you have nothing going for you and want to be crabs in a bucket. If this was America, the number of times you would have been sued for libel ehn, you will learn to be quiet unless you're sure.

I know what some people here tried to do to us because we were not shady like them. Now you want to do it to someone else. I'll tell you like I told them when they came for us. Mistakes do happen but it's how you deal with them that matters. Until I see something that definitively says amdman posted something he knew to be wrong I will not cosign tearing down a man who accomplished in a year something that others have been struggling with for a decade.

My dude, please go and find something better to do with your time.

Is this confirmed?

"Lagos State Govt bans motorist from parking illegally on major roads, the governor demanded an improvement in the free-flow of traffic statewide, with full enforcement of the Lagos State Traffic Laws and arrest of all traffic offenders without preference for civil servants, party members, security agencies, friends and family and so on.



The Lagos State Traffic Laws, passed by the State House of Assembly, was designed to protect law abiding road users, while violators face the consequences of their actions. The sanctions range from N5,000 fine to N50,000, jail terms and forfeiture of vehicles.

But the new regime has introduced a severe penalty of N200,000 for one-way offence, such as is not known to the subsisting traffic laws. Also, all the violations that erstwhile had no monetary penalties now attract fines of between N20,000 to N90,000.

For instance, offences like failure to use seat belt, unclosed doors or standing on the doorway while in motion, all attract N20,000 each. Parking on the highway, obstruction of traffic, picking or dropping passengers on illegal bus-stop attract N50,000 fine.

Also, making a reverse on the highway, driving on kerbs and parking on walkways now attract N50,000 penalty. Driving on BRT designated lanes is N70,000, while dropping passengers on laybys is slammed at N90,000 fine. And for every night a seized vehicle spends in the custody of LASTMA, a N1,000 fine is paid.

The Guardian learnt that the severe penalty regime was the initiative of the LASTMA hierarchy, “to ensure that apprehended violators do not easily get out of the offence, unlike before. The law says we should impound a vehicle that drives against traffic, which is the most common traffic offence these days.

“But giving them a fine of N50,000 is like a slap on the wrist. But with N200,000 fine or risk of impounding and being shown on camera during mobile court trial, they will think twice. The essence is deterrence,” a top official said yesterday.

The Guardian observed that the option before a one-way offender, among others, is to appear in court or appeal for out-of-court settlement and submission to fine.

The “lesser evil” of fine requires the one-way violator to sign an undertaken, pleading guilty to other lesser traffic offences, but not one-way. The violator would later realise that the penalty for the lesser offences all summed to about N200,000.

The mobile court option is not any better. It goes with a court bond of between N100,000 to N150,000 initial fine payable by a violator who is still on trial. With the bond paid, the offender’s vehicle is released but must keep appearing in court till the case is closed.

Eddee:
Good evening ma, got into town earlier and proceeded to see my mechanic. He was very busy and had lots of work so I sorta borrowed his boy to do the heavy lifting just outside his workshop. I know we should have taken all those fancy precautions to secure bolts and all, but damn the sun wasn't friendly and we were working on a timeline.

The Mercedes S Class Ball joints are a direct fit for the lower arm and the knuckle. However, you'll need a hydraulic press to remove and attach the new ones. Didn't bother with this as luck will have it, there was a totalled Chrysler 300 in his shop. Owner was just too happy to receive a call requesting for account details.

As always, thank you!

Lol! No problem

HeavenlyBang:
Seems to me like some people here have an issue with the truth.


Mind you, I have no stake in this fight. I personally think Amdman's services are essential and should be appreciated.

But if someone says the truth and the first thing that comes to you is "Why he dey chook mouth, make he mind him business", then maybe you need to look inwards and evaluate the kind of person you really are.

If that car really is a Hybrid and the OP failed to mention it, I think that's a pretty significant detail to forget.

We all know who he is and why he is doing this. The one with "obvious camber out of spec" is incorrect. The one with "rust" had pictures and also hadn't undergone inspection which he usually does after a request. It likely does but from everything óp has written in the past, would be inspected upon request and disclosed if present. Op has also always been clear that he works with third party information. So if the third party doesn't mention hybrid and he is not a tech like us, he likely won't know till he goes to see it.

There is a difference between "you may want to check for rust or front right damage" and "this car has front right damage". To make it seem like he's intentionally obscuring is wrong and the same tactics were attempted against me in the past by the same individual.

What this person (again, who we know hates not having the limelight) is doing is speculating without an inspection.

Fact of the matter is someone is bitter.

Excellent idea. My family was going to start doing it in partnership with a company doing it in Asia but we had too many projects and put it on the back burner.

dicksonadams:
Hello awesome madam Radautoworks, please do you have Toyota Type IV ATF? How much?

Do you still have the coolant that need mixing

Do you do repair on leaking transmission cooler line?

See how you're making my head swell first thing in the morning!

Remind me your make and model again. We are out of type IV but might have the carquest version for your car

Reminder

With a lot of intentional misinformation being passed around the last few days, a couple of emails I received and my responses mysteriously disappearing into the ether as they tend to do on Nairaland, I felt it necessary to be VERY clear on this topic. SO! Where do our parts come from?

OUR PARTS ONLY COME FROM ONE PLACE ADVANCE AUTO PARTS/WORLDPAC/CARQUEST DISTRIBUTION. WE DO NOT SOURCE TOKUNBO OR NEW PARTS FROM NIGERIA. CUSTOMERS ARE FREE TO SOURCE THEIR PARTS AND BRING TO US FOR INSTALLATION BUT WE WILL NOT SOURCE THEM EXTERNALLY.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PNNqshboyY


When a store is owned by an individual, it is a Carquest. When it is owned by corporate, it is an Advance. That being said, Carquest/Advance owns many brands and carries over 200 lines both OEM and aftermarket. Anyone who knows anything about the auto industry and car parts knows that parts are made all over the world so the specific part will be made wherever the brand manufactures their parts i.e. Bosch=Germany, MOOG=Japan,Monroe=USA, etc.

Hopefully this brings clarity to some with questions. If not, ask away!

pstfrancis:
Pls where can I get this type of oil to buy?

After 20w50 it's the most common grade of oil. We sell it as well as sooperrescue. Dru23 only sells synthetic I think. You can email support@radautoworks.com or request it here if you want it from us https://www.mrtransmissionmilexnigeria.com/parts-request

anungangampu:
u know here i can go that are serious

Sorry, no...

anungangampu:
DO you conduct training?

Not yet, no.

Lush100:
Yeah, I did say but I was postulating what could cause the sudden issue especially when I saw the water level in the radiator.
From the look of things the car is back to normal.
I will take it on a test drive this evening and check water level again & give u feedback.
Thanks ma'am I appreciate.

Oh, okay. I thought all happened at the same time!

Lush100:
Dear auto gurus,
I appreciate the effort.
Eventually the thing no pass 10.secs fixing.
radautoworks
Gazzuzz
Blackbishop
Autologic
Thanks I appreciate once more.
The Kickstarter hub attenuating to the engine had the wire not perfectly keyed into it, hence the spark sound. My mech here is happy cos money don enter him hand.
Dear Gazzuzz, any further training on for "dumbo", I am.present .
@rad, thanks, I appreciate.

That's one problem fixed but you said you also had other issues like overheating or did I misunderstand?

Lush100:
I noticed that the water level in my radiator has gone very low which has never happened b4.
I recall I entered a very bad pothole yesterday night(I was going in very slowly) but it was deep
Could it be my car was overheating due to contact at the base with a bad portion of the road.
Also I noticed water coming out from a small hose which was unusual.
Picture not clear so sorry. I am in a hurry

Lush100:
No it's not rolling.
My radiator water gone down
I topped it with water to see if it would drain probably there was a leak but suprisingly I wasn't up to a half a pint it filled up.
It had be never been this low(I could see the base of the radiator handle where the water is poured into.
It made a blitz sound this morning (not a click sound but like when 2 wires are touching) when I tried to start.
I will buy a car scanner and post the codes.
I am sourcing for a car I will use temporarily.
Thankfully I am not going to work on Monday.

Lush100:
Sir,
I shouldn't bother to scan?

Well the coolant compartment has coolant on it filled to maximum.
It's the coolant in radiator I was talking about.
This morning when I firstly wanted to start the car, it was close to starting then made a blitz sound like 2 wire touching.
Then only the regular check light came on just like yesterday.

You may have a leak as well from the pothole. This is why I don't like remote diagnosis. A lot of guesswork based on the information you give us.

debeey87:
For Toyota Corolla 2009 American Spec, does the hub needs to be replaced to fix a bad wheel speed sensor at the rear of the car?. That was what a mechanic said yesterday when I told them to replace it.

Earlier when I scanned the car, the resulting code indicated the sensor was bad

no
