The Chief of Staff, Cardio Autotec, Hephzibah Iniodu, who revealed this at the launch of its Car maintenance phone application, stressed that given the state of the economy, used cars will continue to be a staple in Nigeria’s automotive landscape. He maintained that with the market for vehicle maintenance growing at a rapid pace annually, the need for efficient vehicle maintenance solutions is important now more than ever. While stressing the need for reliable vehicle maintenance services in the country, Iniodu maintained that the industry is faced with challenges ranging from the absence of organized automobile care services to opaque pricing structures, and heavy reliance on roadside mechanics. Iniodu said the Cardio App is available for download on the Google Play Store and the App Store.
