Car Conversion Is It Still Worth It? by koka50: 1:56am On Feb 01, 2015
Are people still converting cars in Nigeria?
Is it still worth the hassle?
As an ongoing business in UK for the last six year we have noticed a decline in the sale of converted car parts to customers from Nigeria but there is still steady demand from other west African countries. The real issue can be narrowed down to cost of original parts from Europe compared to the cheap labour and availability of parts in Nigeria. My last visit to Owode and Ladipo in Lagos last year would suggest a mish-mash in getting original parts and the question of getting a reputable workshop to carry out conversion. Majority of mechanics are now charging for the conversion as a whole package and that is worrying especially when customers are not aware of which parts have been used in the conversion as long as the job is done at a cheap price!! That could be a costly exercise.
Even as a specialist retailer in UK we are aware that the issue of car conversion is debatable and there are reasons for and against it but the way and manner in which mechanics uses different unpleasantly cunning means to convert cars in Nigeria just to cut corners and make exorbitant profits in Nigeria does not do justice to the very limited few that are open and honest to their customers when advising them in steps they can take to get the job done properly and most importantly as safe as possible
So is it still worth converting cars anyway?
I am sure the debate will still wrangle on for some time to come
