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!!

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

CHALLENGE 7 winner ksmart027

[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 " 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]!

[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.
