Autos › Where Do Rad Auto Works Parts Come From Anyway? by radautoworks(op):
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.

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! smiley

Nice one ma’am. Provided the cost of repairs wasn’t close or up to the cost of a Tokunbo Gear box
Yup, labor was only N50,000. Rest was gear oil and transmission fluid.

@radautoworks, can you provide an answer to the above questions I asked.
Hello, you need to take it to a shop or friend with an OBD scanner to see what's causing the problem.

I don't know about BEST but considering the age of your car, if it's over 100,000 miles and has not been abused with the wrong oil any decent synthetic or high mileage synthetic should do.

Ours is N17,410 for the 5qt jug (you only need 3.9qt).

Conventional is N10,152

Example of how we bill. Customer gets an estimate like this and approves it before we ever begin work. No surprise billing here cool

This job we weren't happy to do because the car had less than 50,000 miles on it!

Good job you guys are doing at @Radautos.
I'm just kinda curious about the frayed fuel pump on the Benz. I'm looking at the wiring harnesses of the pump, on how the wires got burnt.

From your assessments, what do you think caused the pump to fry up to this stage?

I actually think it was intentional and/or carelessness by the people who previously worked on it based on the seal

Mobil ATF can also be considered as a cheaper alternative.


Dru can easily give you all the statistical evidence of various transmission fluid used on all his fleet of cars!




Learnt there are many fake ATF DW1 in the market

Caveat Emptor!

2014 (?) Mercedes GL was cutting off in motion. Frayed fuel pump wires were the culprit. Yet another customer who didn't have to buy any parts.
