Come to us and it's fixed one time. If you feel parts are too high, we'll tell you what you need, you bring it and we fix it. Customers come with their own parts all the time. Only thing you're losing is we won't warranty the work with someone else's parts... But Nigerians are used to that already so..

Car Talk › Re: Question! Which Is Better? Buying A Car Or Buying A Land And Building On It? by radautoworks: 4:10pm On Nov 05, 2018
Land. One thing is consistent no matter where you are in the world. The richest people always have substantial real estate holdings because property appreciates in value over time. You don't become rich without owning property.

letout:
People of Nairaland please help me. The AC for my Toyota Camry has packed up 4 times between November last year and Now. In fact I’m already fed up.
The first time it happened I changed
The condenser and compressor , then after two week I changed the compressor again. After two months it packed up used the car for like four months went to someone else he flushed the system plus condenser and we bought another compressor, Lo and behold it didn’t last 3 months now it’s packed up. Sincerely I’m really confused and I don’t know what to do. If you have experienced this before please share your solution.
Most likely you have a leak and rather than find it because they didn't know how, they threw parts at the problem. Buy refrigerant with UV dye and have them run it through the system to find the leak before you change any other part. Alternatively you can bring it to our shop for a proper diagnosis and then get it repaired either with us or wherever you choose to.

My car is Toyota Corolla 2002,1ZZ engine.
I changed the rings and metals, nuzzle, but the car refuse to pick after starting, this is the second mechanic now that is working on it,I have changed all the things they asked me to do but to know avail.
Am a civil servant, my savings have all gone in but nothing to show up,what they keep telling me call this electrician call this call that am tired.
It wasn't done correctly. I'm guessing sloppy work. What was the car doing that caused all this in the first place?

Mine ehen is 3 much, but right now car is parked till further notice, master clutch cylinder has packed up, it's been giving signs but I kept on managing and postponing repair as money no gree enter, until it final stopped working, clutch pedal just went flat in motion.

Thank God I wasn't on high speed. Managed to put it to
a stop without hitting anyone. And it's very scarce to find. Car is a Suzuki sx4 2010model.

Front shock absorbers need to be changed, shaft, ball joint and linkage, radiator also needs to be changed, all na cos of ambode bad roads.
Clutch is available in 6-10 days if you're willing to pay for it but with everything else it has going on...

So it's running fine now?

Just curious....is this the abs sensor or is there something I am missing. I look at this and the 700 bucks I am being asked to pay and I think i might just do it myself
Price+ shipping+ import tax+ labor= yes... But our price would be the equivalent of about $440 total to replace it.

I dunno if it has to do because I always go to the dealers.
Same. Dealers make money off labor not parts so they'd rather repair which has higher labor margin.

I tire my guy...onyibo no de repair, all they do is change so they wont be liable if it fails again after repairs.
No... That's not correct. They weigh cost against safety and decide which is best. They actually like to fix when possible. It's in Nigeria I see people throwing parts at the problem.

Bought my mums car (naija used) with SRS light(passenger off). Thought it was one easy fix but till today, the light is on.

Though i know the passenger Occupancy sensor is missing, i really donot know how to go about it and the owner doesn't care so i refused to go around spending my money.

The car came with 3 things vandalized. SRS (passenger), TPMS (all 4 sensors missing) and missing audio system amplifier. That amp pains me the most with a 25k quote.
Wow. okay

2. Carquest ATF DEX VI 1 quart N5,015 http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=CQO&partNumber=CQ426 (Can't I get a gallon for this since a Transmission flush might be required)

3. I also need the cost for a new front engine mount whose rubber had broken (FInd attached)

How much is the total and the cost to Abuja? How do I make payment? Can I get these orders before Friday?

Thanks and have a happy sunday.
The gallon is not in stock in Lagos. Just quarts or a drum and shipping is not worth it to bring by itself. You'd have to wait for a large order coming in...

What I'm pulling for your car mount doesn't match what you sent. It's the right torque strut mount.

http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=ANM&partNumber=9680 engine mount

http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=ANM&partNumber=9598 torque mount N22,028 1 year warranty

Orders over 45k get free shipping. They'll send you an invoice and you can do bank transfer. I think Abuja is two days. Shop will have to verify.

I agree with EgunMogagi....for those of us who came in through the legal process and paid huge fees in filing for shittt....its bullshity when someone tries to get in through the backdoor and gets free benefits just because they had a child here. The damn govt takes about a third if my hard earned check and then pays it out as benefit to a damn illegal....that's some damn bullshit angry angry angry
Okay. There is a fundamental misunderstanding here. These people also DO pay all the fees for naturalization and have to go through the process. Only the children get benefits. They do not.

Also, there are some situations where you can wait. Like when you are being murdered or way drove you out off you home. That's when you are referred to as a refugee or seek asylum and Trump doesn't want those either.

Changing my fluids; transmission, transfer case and rear differential oils.


Please where can I get Honda dual pump II fluid for the transfer case and what rear diff lube do I use? Car is a 2012 Honda Crosstour with under 60000 km
We could bring it in for you along with another larger order because shipping it alone is not worth it.
