Mechville.com, an online platform dedicated to connecting car owners with auto technicians, has made a debut in Lagos. Already, over 50 certified auto technicians are on the platform, providing top-notch auto services to car owners that have signed on to the service at very competitive charges.

Mr. Olu Okusanya, Managing Director, Partboyz Auto Parts Limited, owners of Mechville.com, disclosed this in Lagos as he unfolds plans for the launch of a mobile app for the service as well as expansion moves to other parts of the country. Okusanya said Mechville.com is fast becoming the first choice of discerning vehicle owners across the nooks and crannies of Lagos for its best service deals.

“At Mechville.com, we make it easy and affordable to maintain your car by connecting you to the right professionals. With more than 50 automobile technicians across Nigeria, you can locate mechanics closest to you, call and ask for quotes to help you pick the best professional for your car repair,” Okusanya said.

5w20 and 5w30 synthetic engine oil is available for affordable prices at Autoselect in in Lagos. The company is also present in Abuja. I believe they are running a promo on their synthetic oil currently. Check their website at www.autoselectcorp.com and call their phone numbers.

earthrealm: nope..coastal brand isnt the household brand of autozone retailers usa...go to autozone site and check you will see more than 16 oil brands....and ur beloved costal oil..they only have 1 gallon in stock!!!...

never ever heard of coastal oil..n i wouldnt use such an obscure and unknown brand....when i see people who hv 2m naira and above cars talk of cheap oil i really marvel.....you had 2m naira and above to buy a good car, yet shelling out 5 to 10k every 3 to 6months is a big issue to you?.............
meeeeeennnnnnnnnnn u guys need to change ur mind set..if its the cab driver that bought his car 250k saying cheap oil..i wudnt mind

i import parts from the usa..and i had a pal who needed spark plugs for his 2003 suv..........since spark plugs range in price from $1 to as high as $20 apiece, i asked him what price range plugs i shud buy........U KNOW WHAT HE SAID?...BUY THE CHEAPEST!!!!!.all plugs dey fire...........i was simply amazed, the cost savings he thinks he is making by buying the cheapest plugs [copper tip] would be paid back by the increased fuel consumption of his car cos of his cheap mentality...n thats how the average nigerian thinks no pun intended

Earthworm, I said house brand not only brand. glad you checked out the autozone website and confirm they do carry it. It did not get on autozone shelf by chance, you know, it must have passed their quality tests, cos Autozone cannot afford to have a substandard product on their shelves cos of lawsuits. If all that's left is 1 gallon then it must be flying off the shelves.

Guess you are not aware that the current trend in retailing by big box stores is to carry the major brands of products and also have their own cheaper private label or house brand to compete with the major brands. If you go to Walmart for instance, they carry Mobil 1 and other major brands but also have their own private label called Super Tech motor oil. Because its their private label, the stores tend to promote them more than the major brands and also match them in quality for the most part.

Bottom line, I have been using Coastal Oil and ATF for some time now and no complaints, thank you. I still trust them over the inferior adulterated oil common on the streets of Lagos and I like the fact that I'm saving money and getting comparable quality to the big brand names.

Somorin#1:
Nice share thanks.

FWIW, I consider Coastal brand a lower shelf product and won't use it even in my lawn mower but nonetheless it may be better than what is available locally.

Thanks for sharing that site though.

Somorin, i have been using it on my cars especially the Lubrigold Synthetic 5W30 and its excellent oil and cheaper than Mobil 1. I understand your reluctance and I also did my research before changing to it. I confirmed that the Coastal Brand is the house brand of Autozone, the leading auto part retailer in the US. If its good enough for them, its good enough for me especially since my cars are American Spec.

[quote author=Somorin#1]Yes you can.

Open the owners manual and look at the range of temperature and recommendations for appropriate oil viscosity.

Nigeria is not Mars. Temperatures in parts of Nigeria are similar to parts of the US.[/quo


I second that, parts of texas and arizona in the US are much hotter than Nigeria and for all intents they stick with the manufacturers recommended oil viscosity over there.

Indeed it is tough to find 5W20 and 5W30 in from the popular petrol stations. There is however an company called Autoselect in Lagos where I get these viscosity of engine oils which they import from the US. Their prices are even better than the buying from the petrol station. I can never toy with these adulterated engine oil they sell in petrol stations all over the place. The engine of my newly imported 2008 Honda Accord almost knocked cos of fake oil. Here's the link to their website to see their products. Ikenna, i believe they also have a branch in Abuja.

vitality22: How much does this oil cost pls?

About N3000 for 1 gallon was what i bought it for last.

Lubrigold synthetic engine oil 5w30 is just as good as mobil 1 and far cheaper. Call autoselect in ikeja lagos for directions to their dealers in ibadan

The specified oil grade is 5w30. I recommend coastal engine oil. Its high quality genuine engine oil made in america. I use it for my 2008 nissan xterra. Autoselect in opebi road,ikeja sells it

Check Autoselect on opebi road, ikeja. They sell good quality Fram Oil filters.

A few weeks ago, I was at the spare parts shop of a friend. a mechanic came in to inquire about a part for Lincoln Aviator he was fixing for a customer. My friend had it in stock and quoted him a price of N50,000 for the part. The mechanic negotiated it and they agreed on a price of N45,000 for it. The mechanic then told my friend that the owner of the car will call him to ask for the price of the spare part. He instructed my friend to tell the owner of the car that the price was N150,000 and to accept nothing less than N140,000!

I could not believe what I was hearing and the magnitude of the fraud taking place before my eyes. Don't get me wrong I like to make profit like everyone else...but this na daylight robbery. I agree we need to speak up and do something about how these mechanics and part sellers take advantage of us all. You better believe its everybody but most people never know and keep paying inflated price for bad quality parts.

Good, its about time we had a modern auto part store in Naija to give all these purveyor of fake parts in ladipo a run for their money. I'm interested in the autolite spark plugs and Prestone coolants. What's the price for them? Do you have Prestone brake fluid?

Guy

You cannot go wrong with Autolite. I live in the US and all I use for my cars are is Autolite. Matter of fact, I'm in Walmart Superstores right now and here's a picture of Autolite Spark Plugs that I intend to buy for my next engine tune-up. If its available in Nigeria I suggest you go for it.

Greetings

I need great copy for our company website to make our brands come alive and could use your service. Right upfront, we can't pay much but we can certainly use you for future projects.

I am in also in the same boat as you guys. Based in Kansas City, US and have trying to research about starting up a modern auto repair shop in Nigeria.

I have some interesting ideas and findings. Let's hook up via email. Mine is fokusy@yahoo.com

Guys

I'm working with a company that is developing an energy drink for the West African market. We are contemplating whether to develop a new flavor for the drink or stick with the regular red bull taste.

Any ideas is welcome from my fellow nairalanders.

what kind of flavor do you prefer in your energy drink i.e fruity, citrus or do you prefer to stick with the red bull taste

please keep the ideas flowing

thanks

What about food and beverages i.e cereals, spices, energy drinks etc. That industry sounds like it might be a winner if one can get an exclusive distributorship from manufacturers in US and Europe. anyone one with advice?

Guys

What do you all think about the feasibility of starting a business that supplies alternative energy products including solar energy in Nigeria. I have a link to some major manufacturers here in the US. Any advice is appreciated

Appreciate the response, Actually the company I work for produces and markets colgate toothpaste, palmolive soap and many other consumer items worldwide.
I know we don't have a factory in naija, i guess there's already a distributorship network, probably through south africa where we have an office

My fellow comrades in the struggle,

What a coincidence. I've been meaning to start a similar thread.

I work with colgate palmolive in the US and I would like to find out whether there's a distributor in Nigeria. i know we don't have branch in Nigeria hence the opportunity.

Anyone with this information should please provide.
