The authorised dealer of Chery vehicles in Nigeria, Carloha Nigeria
has concluded its 2026 Basic Chery Training Programme for partner technicians, as part of efforts to strengthen its aftersales service network across the country.
The two-day programme, held from March 24 to 25 at the company’s head office and major workshop in Lagos, was designed to equip technicians with the technical knowledge and practical skills required to service and maintain Chery vehicles in line with global standards.
The training brought together seven technicians drawn from Carloha-Chery accredited aftersales centres nationwide. It forms part of the company’s broader strategy to build local technical capacity and ensure customers receive reliable and professional maintenance support.
Participants were introduced to Chery’s maintenance and repair procedures through a blend of classroom sessions and hands-on practical demonstrations. The programme focused on transferring core automotive knowledge and service standards to local technicians.
Key modules covered basic maintenance operations, warranty processes, troubleshooting techniques, engine lubrication and cooling systems, as well as automotive electrical systems. Additional sessions addressed best repair practices, diagnosing customer complaints, and understanding engine and gearbox electronic assistance systems.
The sessions were facilitated by Carloha’s aftersales technical team in a workshop setting, enabling participants to gain practical experience with vehicle components and modern diagnostic tools. The interactive format also allowed technicians to share insights and discuss common service challenges.
Speaking on the initiative, After-sales Manager of Carloha Nigeria, Samson Akinbowale, said continuous training remains critical as vehicle technology evolves.
He noted that the programme was aimed at equipping partner technicians with the expertise to maintain Chery vehicles to global standards, while also transferring advanced technology and best practices locally to ensure consistent service delivery.
At the end of the training, participants were awarded certificates of completion, authorising them to handle Chery vehicle maintenance within the Carloha aftersales network. The certification, according to the company, reinforces its commitment to maintaining high service standards across its accredited centres.
Participants commended the practical approach of the training, noting that it enhanced their understanding of modern automotive systems and improved their diagnostic capabilities.
Carloha Nigeria recently received recognition from the Nigeria Auto Journalists Association as the “Most Outstanding After-sales Car Company,” further underscoring its focus on service excellence.
The company said initiatives such as the training programme would continue to support technical skill development, strengthen aftersales operations, and enhance customer experience as the Chery brand expands in Nigeria.
