Remoto, a Nigerian auto-tech startup, has launched operations and is using its online platform to connect people and fleet owners with certified servicing workshops.
Remoto, which was founded last year, offers three products to its customers: car repair insurance, an annual maintenance contract, and on-demand repairs.
“The cost of accessing premium vehicle maintenance services in a standard workshop is very expensive and beyond the reach of most vehicle users, who are left with no choice but to use cheap technicians who most of the time make use of counterfeit spare parts,” said Richards Ijebor, Remoto’s chief executive officer (CEO).
“Also, businesses spend twice as much as individuals to maintain their vehicles. This is a problem Remoto car repair insurance and annual maintenance plan will solve.”
The self-funded startup has already completed multiple on-demand orders for individuals and businesses, and is currently onboarding more companies for its insurance and maintenance services. It is now running in Lagos, with plans to expand to other Nigerian cities in the near future.
“We have plans for cities like Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano. Our eventual approach is to serve cities across Africa,” Ijebor said.
