Question 1

How do I find an honest and reliable mechanic?

Accepted Answer

Look for established shops with good reviews, ASE certifications or manufacturer training, transparent pricing, and warranty on repairs. Ask for referrals from friends, check their experience with your vehicle brand, and never leave your car without a written estimate and itemized bill.

Question 2

What's a reasonable price for auto repairs in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

Prices vary by repair type and vehicle model. Get quotes from 2-3 providers, compare labor rates (typically ₦5K-₦25K/hour) and parts costs. Establish a budget-friendly trusted mechanic for routine maintenance, and specialized shops for complex repairs.

Question 3

How often should I service my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Follow your vehicle manufacturer's schedule (usually every 5,000-10,000km or 3-6 months). Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns, extends vehicle life, and maintains resale value. Our directory includes many service centers offering scheduled maintenance packages.

Question 4

Should I buy original or aftermarket spare parts?

Accepted Answer

Original parts ensure quality and warranty but cost more. Reputable aftermarket parts offer good value if sourced from trusted dealers. Avoid counterfeit parts. Ask mechanics for recommendations based on your budget and the part's importance to vehicle safety.

Question 5

How do I buy or sell a used car safely?

Accepted Answer

Use our directory to find reputable car dealerships and private sellers. Have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic before buying, verify ownership documents (registration), check for outstanding loans via NVIS database, test drive thoroughly, and only pay after proper documentation transfer.

Question 6

What services does a full-service auto center provide?

Accepted Answer

Most offer oil changes, tire services, battery replacement, brakes, suspension, engine diagnostics, air conditioning repairs, detailing, body work, and general maintenance. Contact providers to confirm they service your specific vehicle type.
