In the new year, we are considering the following programs and would like your thoughts: 1) routine maintenance and basic car care class for women only. Will most likely be one hour mini-courses on Saturdays for women to learn basic things to take care of on their cars to avoid problems. 2) youth program. These will be most likely be semester long programs for children ages 10-17 to come and learn about cars. All classes will be free. |

On a serious note though its a great idea especially the teenager classes. As for the women class.. Most Nigerian women are not really into car care/maintenance I know a woman whose Peugeot 406 engine was making a funny sound, so she was advised on the phone to check engine oil and topup if short.. She opened the bonnet & thought the power steering fluid container was for engine oil & topped it to the brim with our favorite oil 20W-50 3 Likes |

thebigkendo: Chim oooooo!!! That's exactly what the mini-course are to avoid. So they at least know the difference between oil, coolant etc. You think it catch on? The teenager class is something my husband really wants to do. That's how he started out in Jamaica. Same challenges then. Mechanics had no respect and it was looked down on. Noone considered it a viable option. People don't know how technical it actually is. Not everyone can be a lawyer, doctor or engineer. This is a good career path for a lot of people. If a child shows interest, it will be a good foundation for them to go on from. In Houston, we actually took on a pair of brothers for a year. Today, one of them is a tech at a Nissan dealership and doing excellent for himself at age 17. The other helps out every once in a while with his nephew's repair shop but chose a different career path. 3 Likes |

radautoworks: Hello Ma'am generous offer here. What does the bolded mean though, is it the same thing as a general evaluation/scan/inspection to detect and preempt any looming fault or improve on the performance of the car? If yes, yaay! If no , how much would it cost to get this service at your outlet? |

tolusan: Yes sir it is! We check everything on the first sheet below. If you need something more in-depth, we do either of the other two and it's still free if repairs are done with us. Otherwise, it's an hour of labor. 1 Like

radautoworks:Great. Quite an impressive checklist you got here. I'm hoping that you work on public holidays, I would love to come in during the Sallah break (August 21/22/ or 23). My car is due for an oil change at the end of August (I recently changed to what I believe is full synthetic oil (Lubex is what the current mech. recommended/used after de-sludging the engine), so I might as well just take advantage of this. Thank you. 1 Like |

I fully subscribe to the idea of taking teens for various reasons. 1. You will inspire in them the love of technology, thereby raising a crop of innovators. 2. You will raise an army of technopreneurs and not job seekers. 3. You are expanding their career horizon at a very good stage. Medicine is not the best course and it's not dropouts that become auto technicians. 4. Given that solid foundation, some of them will surely pursue higher education abroad along that line and design cars, invent or finetune critical components thereby expanding the frontiers of auto technology. As for the teaching women the basics of auto maintenance, the first person to drive a car in Nigeria was a woman and they still don't care to know more than driving. 1 Like |

You may however ensure that at least 35% of the attendees are girls to stimulate the interest of the girl child in automobile technology. Bill Gates attributed his prowess to early exposure to computers at Lakeside School. Fifty years to come, some gurus will attribute their success to your training. Think impact! 1 Like |

radautoworks: Great idea. The youth program will be awesome, the women classes will be great as well though our ladies appear not to be interested in acquiring such knowledge but who knows, you may be the one to turn things around. My only advise is that you make sure lady techies takes are part of your training team so the ladies-in-training will see that its not impossible for them to practise |

ivoryhouse: Exactly. I feel like the men will be a lot happier not having to constantly rescue their wives and/girlfriends. If the attitude is to shift,men have a large role to play. I have my eye on a female tech from Abuja right now but don't know how that's going to play out. |

radautoworks you are doing a good job. Those kids have a lot of opportunities. Last year when I graduated auto repairs was the first thing I wanted to learn. I tried to volunteer in a lot of auto workshops in Nigeria but was rejected. Some even asked me to come pay money. This year I eventually got a place and they fix my favourite brand Mercedes. I work very hard Monday to Saturday 7 to 6 and I enjoy every bit of it. I am really grateful to God for the opportunity and I wasn't asked to pay any dime and I am learning a whole lot. I complement with books and YouTube when I get home. 4 Likes |
