Thanks Mayor2013. That your single response saved the day. You said return back to 02. We did and no stories. We couold have thought it was ECM, fuel pump, spark plugs, injector throttle body etc
Factory wins again! Maybe the manufacturers DID know what they were doing lol

Had a great conversation today with a prospective franchisee. Relocating from USA like we did and believes in the revolution. He would like to bring it to Enugu!

That being said, we have interest in Ibadan, Abuja, Enugu. I'm also interested in Lagos mainland and PH. Any thoughts on other locations that would be good to expand our Nationwide warranty net? Shops don't have to be large. They can be 2-6 Bay shops, be existing businesses that want to convert or new from ground up.

I no dey go Boko Haram o!

I came, I saw and I conquered the candy store! Bought this small item.
I met Glen as well. Nice guy! He took me past the repair area to the car parts store. Abeg u guys should mount the sign post quick. My Uber missed it the first time despite using Rad Auto Works as destination. Wanted to take me into one...was it oracle estate or something huh
It's great what you guys are doing! Really nice setup. I perceive you will give dealerships a run for their money.
I'm happy and sad!

radautoworks you are doing a good job. Those kids have a lot of opportunities. Last year when I graduated auto repairs was the first thing I wanted to learn. I tried to volunteer in a lot of auto workshops in Nigeria but was rejected. Some even asked me to come pay money. This year I eventually got a place and they fix my favourite brand Mercedes. I work very hard Monday to Saturday 7 to 6 and I enjoy every bit of it. I am really grateful to God for the opportunity and I wasn't asked to pay any dime and I am learning a whole lot. I complement with books and YouTube when I get home.
I'm glad you finally got to do what you loved. Congratulations and keep honing your craft!

Great idea. The youth program will be awesome, the women classes will be great as well though our ladies appear not to be interested in acquiring such knowledge but who knows, you may be the one to turn things around. My only advise is that you make sure lady techies takes are part of your training team so the ladies-in-training will see that its not impossible for them to practise smiley
Exactly. I feel like the men will be a lot happier not having to constantly rescue their wives and/girlfriends. If the attitude is to shift,men have a large role to play.

I have my eye on a female tech from Abuja right now but don't know how that's going to play out.

Okay. I've searched extensively and cannot find a direct match for your vvt sensor. I can only find 2000 and up. I did find two interchange that says it should fit but what I need you to do is show the pictures to your mechanic to see if they match. CLICK ON SHOW ALL IMAGES to see all the views.

No, these are performance plugs. We have ones that are less than half the price but I wouldn't recommend.

Yes it is. They're the same cars with the same work. Why wouldn't it be? It will soon be the norm, watch.

done that job more than once, it is the 13pin U151

And weyreypey the price in ladipo and the price I quote can not be the same. I will give a guarantee on parts and replace if faulty, the market will not.

There's also the Asian version of same transmission which is more reliable come is 5/8pins

Beware of eBay. I have stopped shopping there. Chinese Kazeem part sellers full the place. Many of them will pose like they are in the US/UK only for you to click "place order" and later see "item shipped from shenzu" cheesy angry
I have series of experiences from self and family. On such sensitive items I only do OEM or the aftermarket guy that does the OEM e.g Denso does the oem O2 sensor for my accord but also has the aftermarket direct-fit one which is way cheaper.

So sorry to hear the overtorquing thing. This is common place in this country. You will even see some use an impact wrench (irrespective of speed/torque setting) to mount wheels. Their motto is tighten until it can move no more angry

You may however ensure that at least 35% of the attendees are girls to stimulate the interest of the girl child in automobile technology.

Bill Gates attributed his prowess to early exposure to computers at Lakeside School.
Fifty years to come, some gurus will attribute their success to your training.

Think impact!
We totally love everything you said. As a matter of fact, I'm upset because I wasn't able to hire at least one female tech before I left angry

We carry so many brands for this car but somehow we didn't stock any here lipsrsealed! They all take 6-10 days to arrive. I don't know what we were thinking...

Do you have a preference? Autolite, Denso, NGK, Champion? Also iridium or double Platinum? Range is N2,555 - N5,475. I don't recommend Platinum or copper.

Great. Quite an impressive checklist you got here. I'm hoping that you work on public holidays, I would love to come in during the Sallah break (August 21/22/ or 23). My car is due for an oil change at the end of August (I recently changed to what I believe is full synthetic oil (Lubex is what the current mech. recommended/used after de-sludging the engine), so I might as well just take advantage of this. Thank you.
embarassed no public holidays...
