As a way of giving back to the society I started auto repair training to youth in the community. we offer practical skills needed to the youth to enable them earn a living. This entails panel beating, spray painting and mechanic skills at a subsided cost. In addition i offer Auto paint sales to garages in karatina town. s my business niche focuses impacting skills to form four leavers as they wait to join colleges and other institutions.
My business goals include
