Because of the incredible support we have received, we can no longer keep up with the volume of customers in a walk-in basis. For now, we will be operating based on appointments only. Quick changes like oil and brakes are still available via walk-in.

As we open more locations to spread the load we hope to be able to return to walk-ins for all services.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Good day Ma'am. I have a 2012 Ford Focus that I just repossessed after being away for my PG studies. I noticed that when the car is idle and you engage the transmission in drive or reverse, there is this intermittent long vibrating kind of sound that comes out of the car. Sound continues when car is being driven and it's in first year but goes away once it changes to the second gear. I also noticed that the transmission fluid is way overfilled when I check the dipstick. Do you think I will be good to go if I drain and guage the transmission fluid or I'm looking at a bigger issue here? The car changes and drives fine. Thanks
Hello,

You need to drain and refill the transmission fluid with the right fluid. As for the noise it would have to be checked in person.

At the time (2019) the $ was 360 or 380 I think...
But then again things are generally like double or triple the "street" price at your's.

These are prices from 3 different sites as of this morning. I trust these sources, except jumia.
I have no middle men and am direct with the manufacturers you know that right? But forget my price. It is that price for a purpose. Let's look at what retail in the USA is. Liqui-moly is a lot more expensive than Mobil so how is it being sold in Nigeria for the same or less?

EDIT: You know what, I take it back. Easy to sell cheap when it fell off the back of a truck.

Very true, mama radautoworks was there with that something that crawls out and later jappa, when it was time to pay.

He beats my imagination when someone earning 500k a month will be motivated with 50k to show pay slip & bank statements.

I actually asked at your place once and was told 46k or so. It did get me thinking for a sec but I trust my source and I never had any problems while using it so no harm done
liqui-moly is a high end oil. Anything under 30k for liqui-moly is suspect tbh. Engine oil is a low margin, high volume commodity. Do the math. This is retail without Nigerian customs wahala and/or shipping so how are they selling it in Nigeria for $32?

Go with Coastal 5w30 or what I use now NordKapp 5w30 full synthetic. It's 12 per 5ltr jug but I get it for 11k since I buy the carton of 4 pieces.
Better still, use Liqui-moly, I used it previously before switching to coastal... My mechanic used to give me at 16k a gallon.
Theses are oils I have used in the past or currently using.
liqui-moly is not a cheap oil so when I see it being sold for 16k.... lipsrsealed

Good evening and best wishes to you all. Please which is the best Mobil 1 for Corolla with regards to performance and pocket friendly.
Just got confused seeing 'Extended performance, High millage and extended performance, full syntethic, etc'
Extended performance- go longer between oil changes (usually 15,000 miles)

High millage- for cars with a lot of miles but not necessary (usually 100k and up)

full syntethic- applies to any of the above. Corollas do not require synthetic though but it doesn't hurt to use it.

The shorting of oil has gone bad though the smoke is still not noticable.

And another thing is that its making some noises which m really not comfortable with.
Steering pump is also on its way out.
The steaming sensor is bad .

So i have resorted to not fixing anything like this.

I even downgraded to a cheaper oil sef just recently.

Funny enough it doesnt consume fuel.
I still don't know how an engine with all the problems like mine Will still have chilling AC n not consume fuel.
It amazes me.

N m also scared of inflation cus of the way things are going.
Make i buy now were the price still the hover around 300k
Cus small time now, e go enter 350

So i will be going with my mechanic n the car to aba for the engine swap.
Cus i need the best
will probably be cheaper to let us fix it AND you'll have a warranty

Them never drive for 'real Nigerian roads'.
make dem drive from Lagos to Abuja and then to PortHarcourt and back to Lagos, you go know the real Nigerian roads.
I'm not the one driving them so I wouldn't know. All I know is we have seen zero in Nigeria and only a couple overseas.
