Unfortunately some information I give might be of no use to you either because you don't have a car/ car problem yet or you just love vawulence.
The information worked for at least one individual who got a refund and will help others know how the industry should work with better informed owners.

Imagine if you bring your car to a shop because it loses power and struggles to move.
They scan it and see multiple misfire code you only had 2 out of 4 cylinders working.
Replaced bad plugs car drove better when it was tested . Now you take it home it completes a test cycle, misfire comes back, now it is caused by worn cam lobes and loss of compression in a cylinder.
Owner will say the car is worse but the car just show there is bigger peoblem

bisqit:

sultaan:
When I said the diagnosis fee is deducted after they fix the car I didn't know what radauto policy was but that's the standard practice.

Frigga13:
Good morning Nairaland

Atiku our next president

Please someone should tell Wike to decamp

We’re begging him

PaChukwudi44:
Saying Atiku will be contesting against Tinubu's dollars is puerile. Wike shared more dollars than Atiku and still lost.

You think the northerners will vote Tinubu over Atiku because he has been sharing rice to them? Think again

BTW I am not supporting Atiku

JAMO4REAL1:
8+8 if u know u know

AfroKnight:
That’s why I avoid them.

Also, they can be so gender fluid that you wouldn’t know if you’re dating a boy who grew up to be a pretty girl. So it’s better to choose natural looking boobs from my black community with nice yansh too.

Dorwadora:
Op you should take down the photo tho .... Some perv already got it saved in their gallery.

sukkot:
yeah lol. strange thing isnt it

Fancygurl23:
Here is a picture. Not showing my face. Hope I've cleared the doubts of you Thomases? Nairaland sef

Yves4real:
If Wike's continued membership in the party and the way he lords over other members of the party is not addressed, the PDP would be ruined.
Meanwhile, in 2023, I will NEVER vote for any of the major political parties. E get why .

desperatem:
Hi Nairalanders, please I need help. This started sometimes in 2005 or thereabout. At first I thought it’s normal because then, any little thing irritates me and I had to spit. I was in senior secondary school then. If someone farted in class or I saw something irritating, I won’t be able to swallow my saliva, I would have to spit. Now I’m 35 and this has gotten worse. Now I spit often without seeing anything irritating.

At first, I thought I’m the only one with this ‘disease’ until I met someone in 2013 who spits often too. I later met 2 other guys who spits at least 5 times in 10 mins. This is becoming embarrassing to me and it has made me to always stay indoors.

I have tried a couple of things, I dewormed every week in 2018. Nothing change. I did it again in 2021 I even took overdose of worm medicines. I went to the private hospital I use and the doctor had no idea of what might be wrong with me, he gave me a letter of referral to General hospital. I went to the General hospital, no solution too. The doctor said I need to control my mind. And take back the saliva whenever it’s gathering in my mouth, trust me I do it always but the saliva will keep coming back until I spit it out. In less than 10 mins another will come. I’m tired, I’m literally tired.

Please help. If you have seen someone who had the same problem and has been healed now please kindly refer me to the person. I seriously need help. Thank you.

Mod please take this to the front-page. Thank you.

Channah1:
One of the reasons I want to leave. See weird suggestion. .

Coming at late hour to display your own insensitivity.

You're welcome o. Toh!

Prettygirl200:
See statement, oga that's an understatement pls.

siofra:
Because it's definitely my dream!!

Dorwadora:
I tried to translate what you wrote but it came out as nothing



You are too much

Dorwadora:
No shitting though

I feel like something is lost inside me, like I'm missing something in my soul. The urge to cry is overwhelming me and for some odd reason I'm getting restless because of it.


I've tried watching people burying their pets on YouTube but I'm not crying.........


Somebody, anybody, kindly recommend a sure thing I can watch online or do that will make me cry and feel free in my soul.

dru23:
Not at all sir.......... But my point here is that there is a herd mentality here on this forum. And am sure some claims are malicious in manner ........

I was a victim of such herd mentality, I was accuse of selling fake Mobil 1 oil and few people try to lay claim that I sold them fake oil.......


It was all jealousy and certain cabals here ( we not going to mention names ) were part of the campaign. It was about 2 of my most loyal customers that came to defend me .. Others that bought oil from keep shut and didn't anything........


We as a people need to stand up to such cabals and weed them out .. A lot of monikers here are jealous of other people success .... .

The hate is very real here.. I hope u get my point

dru23:
Some of these complaints are legit.. But most of it are people using different moniker to make false accusations " we no go mention names" he/ them know themselves. ......

Try and weed out the legit ones and the fake ones ....

I forgot to add, they forgot some of their tools on my bonnet. When i turned back from vgc to them, there was no parking space inside and i was asked to park outside. So i parked, opened my bonnet, lo and behold they left about 2 tools(i dont know the name but it was not spanners or screw driver) in my bonnet.
Mr Glenn came to meet me outside and when i showed him the forgotten tools he exclaimed that they were expensive.

Would i recommend them to anyone? Definitely No.

On the positive side; their jerk chicken was really good so maybe they should close the mechanic side and focus on food

Olufolabi:
I hardly post here. I almost opened a thread when it happened to me too, but decided against it later. I don't know if Aunty Radu will remember my car, because I reached out to her at some point.

Had an issue with my Volkswagen Scirocco. Engine smokes and misfires. I have a brother in law who is a technician on Nairaland on the mainland. He recommended I take the car to Radautoworks because I was living right by their gate. I went there and got a long list of parts that will be used to rebuild the engine in addition to some parts I bought from Germany prior to that. I import parts for the car from Europe majorly. Of course, the bill was through the roof, brother in law said no issues as long as they did a good job, because I stayed in touch with him too throughout.

Not to bore with details, car was "completed", but apparently they could not set the timing. The big guy there suggested I buy one tool like that so they can use to set the timing and I can keep it afterwards. I felt I cannot do that since the tool is costly and I am not a technician. Brother in law doesn't have too. It just looked all wrong after everything I paid.

I eventually went to pick up my car from there with all the misfires and loss of power. I got there, and the lady at the reception insisted I must pay their balance before I be allowed to pick up my faulty car that is still faulty. After paying them over 300k for an engine rebuild for various consumables, considering that I imported majority of the parts from Europe. I was too tired by then, I just paid the money and picked my car. I lived right by their gate so I felt I can manage it home anyways.

I got home and had to reverse for the first time that evening so I can park properly, and surprise, my car doesn't go into reverse anymore. It just blinks the "R" light. I was so pissed. It was pushed into position that evening.

Rang up brother in law, blamed him for the entire mess, told him he must fix that car. The poor guy couldn't say anything. Towed the car to his place. My car is now fine, engine and transmission. Took some weeks but it is now fine. Oh! The car also stayed a long time at Radautoworks before I finally decided to pick up.

Now that I am not so pissed, I think they need to work on their process. We all learn everyday. I feel not all cars should be accepted by the workshop if you feel you cannot handle it. A few people here do that already. And I feel it's unfair to make a customer pay for repairs that are not effective.

Anyways that was my own experience. Apologies for the long read. I left out a lot of details, but it's still long anyways.

biosilicon:
Wow, i came to this car talk section to search for transmission for my 08 MDX. Never knew there were others that have had bad experiences at radautoworks. I also had a bad experience last week. I will start from the beginning. This is gonna be a long one.

I came back one day and noticed my fan was still running after i turned off the engine. I checked radiator coolant and it turned out that somehow ATF fluid has gotten mixed up with the coolant in the radiator, which was causing the car to overheat.

Because i didn't want to drive the car far with that condition i took it to one local mechanic workshop close by where the guy working on it told me my radiator was bad that was why coolant leaked into the ATF compartment and the fluids mixed up. All these while transmission was shifting fine, the guy drained the bad transmission fluid and i bought a new radiator and a carton of honda ATF z1 for flushing. He said i should drive it for sometime and bring it back for more flushing. I drove the car more than 95km after that without any single issue. Only thing i was worried about was the colour of the ATF which still hasn't completely returned to normal although was much better than before. And there was pent up pressure which releases when you pull out the ATF dipstick ( like sssshhh).

So I decided to take car to "Pros" for the second flush and use that opportunity to give car proper treatment, turned out that was a mistake.
I went to radautoworks workshop(carquest) paid the fee and explained my issue. They said they were gonna take it for a test drive, me i was hungry so i went to mega chicken for breakfast, when i came back i asked how far, that was when i met mr Glenn, he said he was afraid to take it for a test drive because of the colour of the ATF, and he noticed pressure when he pulled ATF dipstick, i said i noticed it too. I explained everything to him again from the beginning, he asked if the transmission was shifting fine i said yes. he said if that's the case then all they have to do is flush and add some treatment to prevent slipping, i paid about 14k for the bottle of treatment plus other charges.
Strange to hear that the 10k diagnosis fee is deducted from charges because clearly that was not my case. Nothing was deducted Everything i paid was around 40k including the 10k diagnosis fee.

Anyway, after everything i picked up the car the fluid was clear, and mr Glenn assured me he test drove the car and everything was perfect, for my mind this is money well spent, i proceeded to drive home, on getting to shoprite sangotedo transmission started acting funny, In traffic it struggles to engage to first gear, and it does not go above 4th gear plus "check transmission" light popped up for the first time ever since i bought that car. I was enraged , I immediately put out a call to radautoworks but no answer, i assumed they've closed for the day. I just managed to drive it home slowly like that.

By the next morning my anger has calmed. I proceeded to radautoworks workshop, surprisingly transmission was shifting perfectly fine on cold start, but along the way same issues started, turned out transmission is ok when engine isnt yet very hot but after driving for sometime the wahala will start. on getting there mr Glenn said all they did was flush, but that they will check, after every they said its the transmission temp sensor (or something like that) that it was dirty but they've cleaned it and it should be fine. On driving home still same issue. na wa ooo, which kain wahala did i use my money to buy like this car that was driving very fine upon all the driving until it got to that workshop

Well to cut the story short, they suggested i replace the gear and i pay half the workmanship, na him i say make i come here confirm price first, but lo and behold there are other people with similar experiences, What the heck is going on!!!
