About Me

Well, my childhood was much good having been born and brought up in town, though I knew little, I was taken to school just like any other child where I pursued my primary and secondary education.
Being the first born of three, I watched as my parents struggles to work and make every effort to feed and educate us. My mother was a civil servant and my dad was self employed and worked as a Mechanic. When i completed the secondary school, there was no much money to take me to a technical school. This is where my dad was so wise enough to introduce me to his career as a mechanic. I used to help my dad with his job and learn in depth the mechanical and operation of the entire automobile. While at my dad's work place, I gathered enough experience and my dad opened another Garage where I used to supervise and work in it. I came a time when my dad lastly gave me the full ownership of the new garage.
I was so happy renovated it to look well spacious and added some more work equipment. This is how i came to own a business. What is unique about the place i live is that people work hard and help one another.
My children would like to be well brought up and get educated to acquire skills to work. My unique hobby is preaching peace and educates youths to fit in the society. I also like traveling and swimming.
Thank you.

These are vehicles of different types and Tracters.These services are always on demand because every vehicle is a must to be given services mostly after covering a set of miles. On the other hand, normal wearing and tearing requires vehicles to be maintained and repaired.Thaus making my services an all time on demand.
I choose this business because it is the one I am so much conversant with and well experienced. This is besides giving me a huge profit to meet my expenses. My typical cost are the cost of buying car service products like oil, brake pads, oil filter, air cleaners and general spare parts for common vehicles like Toyota made.
