Regular vehicle maintenance is not commonplace in Nigeria, despite the fact that around 90% of the over 12 million cars on roads are used vehicles. Even in instances where car owners are open to constant checks, existing service providers, the majority of whom are not formally trained and lack adequate equipment, are often inefficient and provide inconsistent service quality.

“When you consider the sheer number of used cars in Nigeria and the state of our roads, car maintenance isn’t optional,” says Olusegun Owoade, co-founder and CEO of Mecho Autotech, a startup that has set out to develop vehicle maintenance and high-quality repair culture in Nigeria.

The Y Combinator-backed Mecho Autotech on Wednesday said it has secured $2.15 million in a seed funding round which it claims was oversubscribed by over 300%. Investors that participated in the round include Future Africa, Hoaq Capital, Cathexis Ventures, V8 Capital, Silver Squid, and Tekedia Capital.

The startup was launched in April 2021 by Owoade and COO Ayoola Akinkunmi and operates a digital platform that connects B2B and B2C customers with both in-house and third-party mechanics.

Mecho’s in-house capacity comprises 3 workshops—known as Mecho Shops—across Lagos, where it services corporate fleets and Mecho Mobile operations.

Its corporate clientele includes some of Nigeria’s popular brands such as Uber’s partner Moove, Tolaram Group, and UAC Group, with several other notable service-level agreements (SLAs) in progress. Mecho also expanded into B2C services with the launch of its app (available on both Android and iOS devices) in January and has a plan to grow that segment via a subscription service model.

On the app, users can enter their vehicle’s unique identification number (VIN) or basic vehicle information. Based on the vehicle’s specifications, the algorithm calculates a routine vehicle maintenance programme and subscription fee which can be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually.

“Through automation, we want to make it easy, convenient, and affordable for Nigerians to access high-quality vehicle repair and maintenance,” adds Owoade. “We aspire to build a maintenance culture in the country and beyond to keep roads and people safe.”

Mecho also offers mobile service to meet a customer at their own location, if preferred, while customers can visit a workshop or partner garages for service. For business customers, Mecho Autotech can manage fleet-wide needs with flexibility to request repairs on demand.

With the new funding, which the company claims in a statement is the largest investment to date for a vehicle maintenance startup in sub-Saharan Africa, Mecho Autotech plans to expand its multi-channel service capacity, engineering team, and marketing efforts for B2C acquisition.

“At Future Africa, our thesis is to back founders solving hard problems in large markets,” says Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, founder and General Partner at Future Africa, on the investment in Mecho. “With over 12 million cars on our roads, and more on the way, leveraging technology to bring order to vehicle maintenance and repair is overdue.”

By building out the vehicle repair value chain across Africa, Mecho is creating new skilled auto repair jobs. Since launch, the startup said it has onboarded over 7,000 third-party mechanics to its platform after they passed rigorous assessments.

More so, Mecho says it is developing a spare parts value chain that has already served over 100 third-party mechanics and several large ticket inventory purchases for B2B customers.

Two female students were rushed to the hospital as a kerosene explosion rocks their hostel at Madonna University, Rivers State.

The students who were both freshers had returned home to cook on their kerosene stove when they were met by an unfortunate disaster.

Eyewitnesses had revealed that the kerosene had been tampered with by the black market sellers, and this will not be the first time it has caused an explosion.

Ohh dear I wish them quick recovery though

Hi everyone I have a 2007 211 with the 272 engine, I just had engine replaced and it keeps over heating and I’m at my wits end … any suggestions

Are you sure your mechanic got the right engine.. most of these local mechs are just quacks. I'll recommend you try Flickwheel where you can get vetted mechanics to fix your car properly

Favouredforever:
Please come and help me.

I have a Lexus ES330 2004 Nigerian Used with 101k mileage and recently I noticed an overheating problem.

First, it was the radiator leaking. Then I changed the radiator the day before yesterday. I was convinced that Tokunbo radiator is better because of the grade. But the overheating problem did not stop. The coolant part was actually boiling yesterday after an hour drive in the traffic.

They checked the thermostat, discovered it was damaged. It was removed yesterday and I planned on replacing it today. The car is stationed now

Prior to the radiator replacement, the car was scanned and no error was detected apart from the missing catalyst.

I don't know whether the radiator I just replaced is also a culprit. If the thermostat is replaced and the overheating still continues. What else could be the problem?

Thank you in advance.

The thermostat definitely looks like its' the problem...before you change it though get a good technician to check it over. there are service stations all over and if you don't want to stress you can try Flickwheel, they'll recommend a vetted mechanic in your area within minutes.

spyroet:
branch they are the best they give time to pay back even up to 2 month

Wow, that's nice. I'll definitely try them out if I'm in need of a loan. Its just that most of them start out with very low amounts...let's say I want to take a car or business loan now, they can't help with that. I heard Flickwheel is a good one to get a car loan though but don't know of any for business loans

Good day, Nairalanders.

I need a car, preferably a Toyota Corolla or Matrix for Uber or Bolt with weekly returns to the owner of the car. I am in Lagos. Any person who can be of help should call me on 08135116754.

Thank you.

I hope you get someone to help out. But hope you have done all your calculations, your weekly estimate, the percentage for the owner, how you intend to keep the car accident-free. Local mechanics can be annoying so you can register the car with Flickwheel to get vetted mechanics that will not change the car parts. They also give quick loans for car fixing and you pay installmentally.
Just think it through sha...I wish you goodluck

Some one is offering me ford focus 2008 model but with central lock issue which I am sure can be fixed 700k. Can I also use it for Uber?

Ford is a good car. Take a car expert along to check every part for you before dropping any money. The most important thing is for you to maintain it. And truth is except you have a good local mech ehn you'll spend a lot on different things. I'll recommend Flickwheel sha you can get very good and trusted mechanics there and even if your car has issues and you are cash strapped, they'll help out with a loan for you.
