For me inspection means looking without dismantling whereas diagnosis might involve dismantling to know what problems do you have.

For the issues you mentioned, same diff.

jarkbauer:
Inspection and diagnosis can not be the same for poor gas mileage and brake problems

It is with us. Kinda pointless inspecting if you're not going to diagnose

Backfornow:
Im sorry to hear about your daughter.

It was a long time ago but thanks

jarkbauer:
inspection or diagnosis?

Same difference

thebigkendo:
As of saturday 1st June & synthetic was out of stock

Its like you use a different exchange rate

Or maybe VAT

thebigkendo:
Broa Gazzuzz does not sell conventional oil

that's why I no dey drag synthetic.

jarkbauer:
So i have a friend whose brake is bad with suspension noise. Also poor fuel economy

How much to diagnose

car 2010 corolla

gazzuzz radautoworks

Free or N2,500

No, we don't control the price. Systems update live from headquarters and sometimes fluctuate. Also, 5w20 synthetic is on stock. 5w30 only bulk that's why. We can do changes but no jugs to sell while we wait for inventory. I think Mobil synthetic and stock but cheaper with gazzuzz

sooperrescue:
Seun is good but I was stressed

Why stressed? What model? Getting a little nervous ..

GAZZUZZ:
I have never believed in conventional engine oils.

Full synthetic provides better engine protection at all temps.

For now I will be sticking with 1 of the best in the world market, Mobil1.

good things do not come cheap.

Yes, full synthetic may be "better" but most cars were not designed to run on synthetic. Very few cars actually require synthetic and they are usually premium cars. Synthetic only became popular because people wanted the convenience of fewer oil changes. Cost still comes out about the same.

MoonlightDrive:
Sigh... what of the little guys just trying to eke out a living!

This is a wake up call for D and G to form a merger, so that they can also collectively come up with lower oil pricing.

Just imagine how much you guys will save on shared logistics, synergy... think synergy.

Some will say such a combination can never happen, i remain an unrepentant optimist.

For newbies: D = Dru; G = Gazzuz

Not disturbing them. That is conventional not synthetic. Most cars on here do not need synthetic.

ncnerio:
Is this synthetic or normal mineral oil or most importantly for we wey na total normal mineral oil we been using for years now is it safe to just switch to this.

That is high grade conventional oil. You won't find synthetic at that price. Maybe synthetic blend.

Crvrider:
Oga dru23 I know say na me ask for advice and you give advice. But first off, I live in igando driving down to lekki is really not a big deal but I just want to emphasis on that point. Now if I take myself and my car go this lekki autoshop are you sure they will not charge me the same amount I bought the car for repairs? This one no be restaurant when you go wash plate after you chop finish and you no get money to pay o. Don't get me wrong, though. If I have the money I will spend good on what I love but as at the moment I am trying to survive.

Okay, let me correct some misconceptions. We are NOT expensive. Brake changes are as low as 15k with 1 year brakes. We do not fix ANYTHING without giving you a price and getting your permission.

Step 1
Bring car for free diagnosis (if repair is done, if not skip to step 6)

Step 2
get detailed repair estimate

STEP 3
SIGN AND ACCEPT (STEP 4), BRING YOUR OWN PARTS AND ACCEPT OR DON'T SIGN AND REJECT ESTIMATE (SKIP TO STEP 6)

step 4
Car is repaired

Step 5
Pay and pick up car, have warranty explained (pay N2,500 for diagnosis if repair not done)

Step 6
Leave

Step 7
Enjoy not having to worry

The second picture is a sample of an "expensive" job on a limited 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe that includes, ac compressor, tie rods and oil change.

Note the labor was only 30k for the whole thing. This is how detailed our billing is so you know exactly what we are charging.

Crvrider:
Can someone please recommend a good 5w20/30 engine oil that is moderately priced? Thanks.

Seriously I love MB. My old man had the 230e flat boot with the straight engine and it was a sweet ride den.

I've never owned a MB because of the acclaimed “high running cost”, and I equally don't want the common C class that has flooded the market and gradually becoming a corrola.

Reason why I was eyeing the CLS when I saw it online with that price tag.

Buy hey, I've been a Japanese car owner all my life, still have my reliability fear with MB especially the new ones.

Only issue with CLS is classic Mercedes "squat". Husband owned one and it's a beaut.

picaso313:
please can any1 help with the engine oil and radiator coolant recommended for camry 2010.. and also is octane booster adviceable for this car?

GREENLIGHTLAW:
Good afternoon gentlemen. Please, I just got a 2006 Toyota Camry (big daddy). I've been using 1999 toyota Sienna which I sold recently. I have maintenance required and ABS indicators on the dash of big daddy (photo 1). Little online research shows the maint reqd is about oil change. That brings me to my first question.
1- WHAT ENGINE OIL SHOULD I USED FOR THE CAMRY, PLEASE. I intend changing it asap. MEANWHILE I HAVE a spare 4 liter keg of Mobil super.
2- Do all Toyotas use the same oil filter, reason is I have a spare filter which was left of my collection for the Sienna, now sold. I usually buy my filters alongside the oil at Mobil filling stations. Every help and support will be appreciated. Thank you.

1) 0w20

2) no they don't. And especially not the 99 sienna and this car

Something scary happened to me today. Please GAZZUZ or anyone else, can you recommend a trusted brake master in lekki/Ajah area?

I was ascending lekki ikoyi bridge today. There was a bit of traffic from church goers and suddenly, my brake failed. I step on the break pedal but the pedal just keeps going down, no stopping, car was rolling. It was scary. I used the handbrake to successfully stop the car . Made some weird noise and that was it.

Still drove home with it without any other event( stopped at two traffic lights afterwards, brake worked fine)

Most likely master cylinder

Beautyaddy:
Nigerian government with their confused and chronic lies.

Wasn't it last month or two that it was in the news that they launched the 10 years validity Nigeria passport and mentioned that most Nigeria embassies abroad will have it available by April for new or renewing applicants?

Didn't hear about that. Quite possible. Will be awesome if that is the case! Tired of renewing

Bigsteveg:
Gggars after sometime.

The engine oil is supposed to go for nothing less than 15000 miles. Kindly assist with this, thanks.

Oil not filter

spaggyy:
Hello house,

please i need your professional advises

i own 2004 infiniti fx 35

but recently it started swerving on uneven roads, if i come in contact with a rough terrain at speed of 70km/h or above, the car swerves and make some noise.

i have changed the hub, the bushings, and even the shock absorbers

but problem is still there

please what could be wrong, what do i need to do

is there an expert in Lagos that can fix this.

i'm always scared of driving the car for the fear of it throwing me over, or sweeping me into incoming vehicles.

please help

Did you do a proper alignment afterwards?

lionlee216:
Sure, thanks for the help.. i really appreciate..

Hope it works out without a lot of stress.

lionlee216:
I called the guy when are supposed to meet tomorrow. He was unable to gurantee me same day passport tomorrow but i will see how it goes

At the worst, you'll be processed and it will be mailed to you in a couple of days. Now you know, next time do everything ahead and only show up when he says.

He's a really nice guy. I met him in 2011 back when my daughter died and I needed to go to Nigeria and didn't have valid passport. Embassy was giving me hell and I wandered into his place to make a copy since he was next door. He helped me for free! I've used him ever since.

Beautyaddy:
Hmmm, so has anyone so far gotten the 10 years validity with the renewing of their Nigerian passport?

As far as I know 5 years is the max

Having used New York, Atlanta, ikeja and ikoyi, I can say that Atlanta is the best for renewals followed by NY for first time.

Why do many? There are 5 of us in my family and we have different renewal dates

Mueeze:
@radautoworks I want to bring my car in today. What time will the shop close? Considering the holiday.

Closed for holiday. Reopens tomorrow 9-5

sooperrescue:
They don't look alike but it's the same dex 6 but I didn't see any sign of 8hp and I used it on an 014 BMW. But that your Seun girl over stress me o

Do you still have the bottle or what is the part number on your invoice? Also, what happened with Seun?

Nig4Greatness:
...

Nobody is saying you can't do your passport same day After all that's what your appointment would do for you...paperwork and data capturing but getting it back same day is what I dispute.even the main high commission in NY can't do same day delivery.
Besides,am.sure you agree it cost way much than the normal fees to get that expedited option done.

If by way much you mean $300 including passport fees then yes. The only time I didn't get same day was the last one above that I did late last year and that was sent to me 3 days later in Houston.

For visas and travel letters, he usually guarantees 3-5 days from when received.

Nig4Greatness:
...
I guess you are still new on this thread.nobody hates on anybody here.am not by any way disputing your claim,I only responded directly to your post.The process of obtaining a visa is different from passport.A visa can be obtained within a day in virtually all embassies around.

N. Same guys do both

123JohnF:
If you go to Atlanta and Nigerian embassy makes you troubles, delay your passport or visa issue, it's their business they want to do on the side. Get out of the embassy and see in front a private agency who does visas and documents, get in, ask them, pay and they will do it fast. I personally got my visa in 1 hour with them after trying half a day in Nigerian embassy and listening to all nonsense.
Edventure Nigeria Passport and Visa just in front of the embassy. It's the way to make money for Nigerian embassy employees.

THANK YOU. THAT IS THE SAME PERSON I TOLD HIM TO CALL SINCE SMH. His office has moved a little way away though. Was just there in October and did my new baby's and my stepson's passports. Approved same day then they mail to you if you are not in a hurry. I showed plane ticket and it was mailed to me in Houston in 3 days.

For plane ticket, I just used some airline points and cancelled after.
