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 (valued USD$7.2 billion) in Nigeria over a 21-year period, my customers have voiced their concern to me about after-sales issues. For this reason, I decided to launch TSL 1 handpicked the best technical personnel in the Nigerian Auto Industry – these are highly experienced individuals who I have observed for over a 21-year period,” he said
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,”we said. Mr Raju understands problems the Nigeria auto industry like no other. He noted “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.” TSL use only genuine lubricants, fluids and parts. As he puts it “The downtime and stress caused by fake and substandard motor oil and motor parts drain billions of naira from the economy. Customers have lost confidence in most high and low-end workshops.
Another issue is the used vehicles being purchased from sellers of no repute. We are already taking appointments for next week to assist customers who were duped into purchasing flood-damaged vehicles from the United States,”Mr. Raju said.

In addition, the company will provide a safe haven for used car sales. “If you wish to purchase a used vehicle in Lagos, but don’t know whether to buy it because of the high mileage, I suggest you book an appointment with us and liaise with the seller to bring the vehicle to our workshop. We will do a complete check on the vehicle in front of the seller and the buyer, thereby creating a transparent automotive marketplace. We can provide the buyer with a Peace-of-Mind Warranty,”Mr Raju added. TSL’s highly -experienced technical manpower will be the highest paid in the Nigerian Auto Industry with perks that will set a benchmark in the sector.
With the amount of sales and after-sales transactions set to take place at TSL, the company has promised to share market data with motoring journalists and the Nigerian government to help improve automotive regulations.
