TSL, Multi-brand Automotive Workshop, Opens in Lagos

TSL, Nigeria’s largest multibrand automotive workshop, is set to start operations on Thursday, October 19t, 2017. The hi-tech auto company, located on the ever-busy vehicle sales hub of the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, can service and repair all passenger and commercial automotive brands - from Ferrari to Toyota - and has announced that it would offer 30 per cent discount on service and repairs from October 19 to October 31, 2017.

Corporates who register their fleet with TSL between that period will receive special pricing, and after the promotion date, TSL promised to price-match any reputed workshop in Lagos that has over at least 18 service bays. TSL will also engage in the sale of new and used vehicles. They will provide Gold Certification and Peace-of-Mind Warranty on used vehicles, as well as 24/7 roadside assistance.

TSL’s founder is none other than Mr. Raju Sawlani, a veteran in the Nigerian Auto Industry and former Managing Director of Stallion Motors is the founder of TSL.

Sawlani is also the former Executive Director of Coscharis Motors and Kewalram Chanrai Group. Being at helm of these top auto companies, he gained exposure to over 30 automotive brands. He has over 21 years of experience in the Nigerian auto industry. He has set up numerous automotive showrooms (including the Porsche showroom), several workshops and a few assembly plants. He was the first to implement breakthrough service campaigns in Nigeria like the 4yr/100,000km free service campaign. In 2015, he was awarded the OnWheels Leadership Award for his outstanding vision, dedication and commitment to the Nigerian auto industry.

“Having sold over 200,000 vehicles (worth about $S7.2 billion) in Nigeria over a 21year period, my customers have voiced their concern to me about after-sales issues. For this reason, I decided to launch TSL. I handpicked the best technical personnel in the Nigerian auto industry - these are highly experienced individuals who I have observed over a 21-year period. In addition, our machinery and equipment are from the top manufacturers in the world. We will prove to the world that supercars do not need to be flown out of Nigeria for service and repairs. Nigerians are highly talented and capable people,” he said.

He explained that the main parameters that define repair quality are: quality of workmanship, genuineness of spare parts, lubricants and fluids used, and the overall customer experience, which includes a reasonable price and the least amount of downtime.
