Apart from the stress involved in getting the cars fixed and the distortion of personal plans, cars breakdowns, especially at night or in the middle of lonely roads, expose motorists to danger from hoodlums and roadside robbers. This enormous challenge has, however, now been taken care of by three Nigerians who have provided technology-driven solutions.

The website provides a user with the opportunity to request the service of a mechanic who will show up and anywhere the car breaks down in Lagos and fix it. If the car cannot be fixed on the spot, the website also has the feature to request the service of a towing vehicle which will convey the vehicle to wherever it will be fixed. The second innovation created to address the challenge is also tech-based with a combination of website function and mobile app. It is also currently restricted to Lagos. The mobile app connects motorists roadside assistance providers, including auto mechanics, within a 5 kilometres radius or more of the location. The creators of the service said they will be rolling out their operations in other states soon.
