Marque competency
Form AW/02 · tooling registerA generic OBD reader tells you a light is on. Manufacturer tooling tells you which of the eleven modules on that bus is lying. We licence and maintain the real thing for every marque we accept — if it isn't on this list, we will say so and recommend someone.

Serviced to Abuja, not to Stuttgart
Form AW/03 · 41-point intakeYour handbook was written for European air, European fuel and European tarmac. Harmattan dust loads an air filter in a third of the scheduled distance; pump fuel varies enough to foul injectors inside a year; the Kubwa expressway will find every tired bush in a lower arm. Every car that comes through the gate gets the same 41-point intake before we quote a naira — so you are told what is actually wrong, and what is merely next.

Bay board
Today · updated 07:40Six bays, two of them free today. We do not take a car in before we have somewhere to put it — a workshop yard full of other people's projects is how a two-day job becomes a two-month one.
Open a job card
Form AW/01 · customer intakeTell us the car and what it is doing. The form narrows as you go — the questions we ask about a gearbox are not the questions we ask about air conditioning — and returns an estimated bay time, a price band and the next slot we can hold for you. No card, no deposit.

₦180,000Who signs the card
Form AW/09 · workshop registerFour technicians, no apprentices left alone with your car. The name at the bottom of your job card is the person who did the work, and they are still here next year when you come back.
Eleven years on the tools at a Weststar franchise before opening these bays. Certified on XENTRY; the person you want when a W213 has a fault that three other workshops have already guessed at.
Ex-Coscharis, ISTA+ and Pathfinder. Reads live data rather than swapping parts — which is why our average investigation closes in under two hours of bay time.
ZF 8HP and 9G-Tronic rebuilds on a clean bench in a sealed room. Rebuilt 34 units last year; two came back, both under warranty, both put right free.
Runs the bay board and the estimates. If a job is going to run past the day we promised, you hear it from her before you have to ask.
