New shipment of drive belts just arrived. When serpentine belts break they can also flap around and cause A LOT of damage to the engine.

Stop buying poor quality belts when good ones with warranties are available for N5,000 up.

Another scanner going Thursday and I will use the license plate method suggested here unless there is another suggestion. Alternatively I may do something related to the key chains so if you got yours back then....

Car Talk › MR T-MILEX/CARQUEST/RAD AUTO WORKS 2020 Diagnostic Scanner Christmas Giveaway by radautoworks(op):
As some of you know our mission is to change the auto repair industry in Nigeria. Part of that is educating consumers and empowering them to maintain their vehicles better.
With that goal in mind and in appreciation to Nairalanders we will be giving out two diagnostic scanners a week for six weeks to lucky winners so keep on the lookout! If you do not win don't worry. We will be giving away another five through our Facebook and Instagram in December but we had to show NL all the love because that is where we first started.
In an attempt to make this fun and fair, we will do this using various challenges. ONCE YOU WIN ONE, YOU CANNOT COMPETE FOR ANOTHER AND YES, YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE A CHEESY PICTURE HOLDING YOUR PRIZE PREFERABLY WITH YOUR MONIKER (BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO POST YOUR MONIKER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO).
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!


So far our first three winners were from Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja. I'm LOVING this!!

CHALLENGE 1 winner clubwebhost
[s]On our Instagram page @radautoworks there is a video of a large van used for a good cause that wouldn't fit in our bays. What are the colors of that van and what is written on the side of it?[/s]

You must write EXACTLY everything written on the side of it.
HINT: red bull gives you wiiiings!!

[s]First correct answer gets the circled scanner. GOOD LUCK! wink[/s]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w6XXJAXt9E


CHALLENGE 2 winner NaijaCR7

First complete post gets one of the Autel scanners below. GOOD LUCK! wink[/s]


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yuUhEk9VNU


CHALLENGE 3 winner Avilaprojects
[s]This should be easy I think.. Find a license plate that contains the numbers 9, 1 and 4 (my birthday) and take a picture with it holding up your moniker and today's date.
Your face shouldn't to be in it and it does NOT have to be your car. However, it cannot be a picture off the internet. If multiple people have it, whoever has them in the same order above beats first poster[/s] grin

[s]Winner gets one of the KW310 scanners below. GOOD LUCK![/s] wink


CHALLENGE 4 winner Sirleke
[s]Based on suggestions, this challenge will be purely Democratic.
NOMINATE 2 PEOPLE ON NL WHO ARE NOT YOU WHO YOU BELIEVE DESERVE A SCANNER.
Highest number of votes by midnight Nigerian time on Thursday, November the 19th, 2020 gets one of the black Akface AK-02 scanners below. GOOD LUCK!! [/s]

CHALLENGE 5 winner chibjohn
[s]On one of OUR threads here on Nairaland, there is a post detailing the full process of how we do wheel balancing here at Rad Auto Works.

WHAT ARE THE FINAL MEASUREMENT READINGS OF THE TIRE THAT WAS BALANCED AND WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE TECH THAT DID IT?

Winner gets a green JDiag D101 scanner.


If you're familiar with our posts, this challenge won't last 10 minutes. GOOD LUCK![/s]


CHALLENGE 6 winner deedee44
[s]ALL ANSWERS MUST BE AS THEY ARE ON OUR WEBSITE AT www.radautoworks.com or mrtransmissionmilexnigeria.com

This challenge is going to force a little learning based on the most frequent problems I've observed on NL wink

1) According to our website, at least how long are today's cars built to last?

2) According to our website, what is the second symptom that brakes need to be serviced?

3) According to our website, what does our oil service include?

4) According to our website, what is the first listed sign that you need a tune up and how often do we recommend a tune up?

WINNER GETS A YELLOW V310 SCANNER. GOOD LUCK![/s]

CHALLENGE 7 winner ksmart027

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMId27Zc988
[s]For challenge 7 I thought we would focus on something NL is notorious for BEEF! This challenge gives the oldies who's have been here since the birth of this moniker an advantage.

It's no secret I've been involved in a "couple grin" of spats over the years but it's not often I threaten litigation and it's typically over one of two issues.

Today's challenge:
What did each of the three monikers do to push me that far?


HINT: first was in the second quarter of 2018, the second was fourth quarter 2019 and the third was second quarter 2020.

That's it. Simple challenge. For obvious reasons the three monikers cannot win a scanner lol.

Winner gets a KW301 scanner. GOOD LUCK and everyone on NL CALM DOWN[/s]!


CHALLENGE 8 winner Stanleyallen17!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZisA-Kg6eVc

[s]Last few challenges have been hard so this one is going back to pure luck!
Whoever finds and takes a picture of a license plate with the most 7's asking with their moniker and date and time (in case you can't pay immediately) by midnight Tuesday wins a J-Diag D-101 scanner! It does not have to be your car.

May Tyche and Fortuna be with you. [/s]


CHALLENGE 10 winner IFSHR
[s]As part of our plan to change the auto repair climate in Nigeria, the stigma of being "just a mechanic" has to change. With cars becoming more advanced and increasingly relying on computers, being a technician is actually a high skill, reputable job that pays well. It is not uncommon for our techs to take home 100-200k a month.

With that in mind, we once hosted a group of young ladies.
1) What was the name of the society we partnered with for this?
2) what was the name of the school the ladies were from?
3) what activities did they do?
4) what date did this happen?


Winner gets an NT210 scanner. Tyche said him no dey so GOOD LUCK!

Almost forgot it was challenge day![/s]

CHALLENGE 11 winner Standico
[s]We are going back to school again for challenge 11.

For this challenge, use our e-portal to price the cheapest possible solution to the notorious "leg pull" (ball joints) and a couple of other things for a 2010 Honda Civic 2.0L.

Use today's abokifx rate of N477. Answer must be given as a total and correct to the kobo.
1) Front ball joints (leg pull) 1.6 hours
2) Front stabilizer/sway bar links 0.8 hours
3) Front stabilizer or sway bar bushing kit 0.5 hours
4) Include the part numbers and warranties

HINT: the listed warranties are for the USA but I have discussed our Nigerian warranties many times on NL.

BEST ANSWER BY MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY WINS A Konnwei KW310 SCANNER! GOOD LUCK![/s]


CHALLENGE 12, the LAST ONE winner emmyN
[s]First to comment "GIMME THAT SCANNER!" gets it wink[/s]

That's all folks!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

I’m so stressed as I drove over 40km to the shop to have this car serviced for the first time. That’s 80km both ways in the midst of terrible traffic. I had to go back yesterday again and they drained the oil, checked and said the oil filter was changed. According to them, the oil change will range from 6-6.4qts. Courage also said he noticed the oil seal hewasn’t closed well and later said they changed it. I asked them for the one they changed, they couldn’t show me.

While the car was up I had noticed the rust beneath and asked the welder I met there to rust proof it. After he was done, the same person (Yemi) who serviced the car, hit the car while driving it out of the working area. The paint on my bumper came off and the some of the paint on the Ford also that was hit. The two sides of the bumper also came off as the clip on the bumper cut on both sides. They took me to a Panel beater used glue to hold it in, which now looks very unsightly. This is a car that is got barely 2 months ago.

I later noticed two of the clips for the engine cover wasn’t put back. Meanwhile I brought the car with complete engine cover clips and I showed them also. Now the radiator coolant reserve is leaking, this was not leaking before I brought it. Now once I put coolant in it, and check under the car it’s just leaking continuously. This is the first place I have ever taken this car too.

It’s been such a distressing experience as I basically travelled so far to get the best for something as simple as servicing as it just turned to something else.
I. AM. SO. SORRY!! Please DM me so I have it taken care of properly!! That is absolutely ridiculous.

Your neighbor obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. He's just the regular Nigerian bandwagon follower, too lazy or scared to try and do something different.

How did I know? Check the bolded.

Ford Edge shaft 08-014 models is not more than [b]30-40k for the front pair.
That said, I wouldn't believe any other thing that comes out of his mouth cos he's just displayed his gross ignorance with that claim.
Is that new OEM or Ladipo?
