My Ugly Experience With Oloworay Autos by Holi(m): 2:37pm On Dec 16, 2022
Oloworay Autos is a registered car dealer in Nigeria. Their branches are in Akure, Lagos and Abuja. The head office is in Lagos and it controls other branches.

My ugly experience started when I was looking for a car to buy for Uber after collecting a loan. A friend of mine recommended them to me, that their cars are good irrespective of the location.
I checked their site online and saw a KIA Cerato(Nigerian used) 2009 model within my budget that was advertised at their Akure car stand. I visited their Lagos office and I was assured that the car is in a good and perfect condition. I spoke with their Admin at Akure who assured me that everything is okay. I was asked to pay and assured that I will be refunded if the car did not meet the standard advertised. That they are a registered and reputable company that I don't have anything to worry about.

I paid for the car in August 2022(my major mistake). The delivery of the car was delayed for more than a month, they will be coming up with one story to another, that I should be patience with them, that the car is on the way. It took them more than a month to deliver a car fully paid for within Nigeria. When I was asked to come and pick the car at their Lagos office in September, I realised the AC is not working, the engine very bad, and the car is 2008 model instead of 2009 model advertised. I refused to collect the car because it contradicts the assurance they gave me before I made payment.

I was told that they will not refund me, they tried forcing me to pay more money so that they will give me another vehicle, which I refused because the trust I have for them has been compromised.

I reported the matter to Lagos state mediation centre at Alausa. The two parties were summoned in September. They came with a lawyer rather than looking for a way to balance me my money. After the mediation, all parties agreed that I would be refunded within a week.

Till date, they only paid back only N500,000 out of the N1,450,000 that they're supposed to refund back, without considering my lost as regards to naira value and the loan i have to service. They are doing all these because they think they're above the law or probably cos they know one or two people in high places, but nevertheless, I'm not going to be intimidated by whatever they have, because this is not a way to make Nigeria better.

Many people will be looking for a place to purchase a car this season, they should be mindful of the company so that they won't fall a victim this festive period. Their online presence and adverts is so convincing, but please don't fall a victim.
They promise nationwide delivery on their adverts, but please thread with caution while dealing with them so as not to fall a victim.

Don’t pay for anything online no matter how convincing!
If you inspect physically gan you can still buy rubbish not to talk of trusting strangers

I did it in the past since then I learnt my lesson. If you can collect your money by any means please use it

Lessons well learnt. Thanks for the advice.
Re: My Ugly Experience With Oloworay Autos by thegame(m): 9:07pm On Dec 16, 2022
Lesson learnt but it is not a new lesson. Never pay for a car without physically inspecting it. If it is not in your location, look away.
The ones you physically inspect are even problematic, not to talk of phone inspection. They were probably fixing the car before bringing to you in Lagos, hence the delay from the dubious people.

God will punish them but you must also collect your money in full. b@stards

Just track the person you feel is sitting on your money, and take his life after taking his family's life in front of his face... without being seen of course to avoid you going to jail and you can hire someone to do it...and let him know it's because of the money (greed) he is losing everything he has

Do you think I will pay if I was told that they going to use my money to buy from the owner?
