We at Onelove Business Ventures are an accredited agent, and we handle the entire process for you — search, filing, certificate — from wherever you are. It really is this simple: send us your business name on WhatsApp, and we’ll handle everything else.

Auto Mechanic and Towing Businesses We Register Most in Gombe

A State Building Purpose-Built Space for Mechanics

Gombe’s government hasn’t just talked about supporting the mechanic trade — it’s built for it. In 2026, the state commissioned a purpose-built Mechanic Village along Bajoga Road, positioned between the Sen. Ibrahim Dankwambo Mega Motor Park and the state office of the Road Transport Employers Association, specifically to give automobile technicians a structured, accessible workspace and make it easier for vehicle owners to reach them. It follows the state’s earlier ₦7.6 billion investment in the ultra-modern motor park itself, which includes its own dedicated mechanical workshop, and sits alongside the state’s Network 11-100 initiative to build at least 100 kilometres of roads in each of Gombe’s 11 LGAs. For mechanics and towing operators, more roads and a centralised, purpose-built workspace both point the same way: more vehicles moving through the state, and a state government actively organising the trade around that growth.

Business Name vs. Limited Liability Company Cost

Everything Covered in Your ₦35,500

We handle the full Business Name registration for auto mechanic and towing businesses in Gombe for ₦35,500 all-inclusive, covering the government filing fee and our service fee together — the option that fits most independent mechanics and towing operators starting out, giving you a properly registered business without the extra structure many don’t yet need (a Limited Liability Company registration is also available at ₦65,500 all-inclusive, worth considering once you’re running multiple workshops or a towing fleet, or bringing in business partners).

• Business name availability search
• Business name reservation
• Completion and submission of the CAC Business Name application
• CAC government filing/processing fee
• Your Certificate of Registration (soft copy)
• Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• A CAC Status Report confirming your business is active on the public register

Want the Limited Liability Company instead? For ₦65,500 all-inclusive you get everything above plus your Memorandum and Articles of Association (Memart) and personal liability protection — worth it once you’re operating at larger scale or with partners.

What You’ll Need to Arrange Separately

• Physical/printed copies of your certificate (delivered as soft copy; you print locally whenever convenient)
• A slot or space allocation at the Mechanic Village or motor park, if you intend to operate from there
• Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) compliance for imported spare parts and vehicle components
• Road Transport Employers Association or relevant union registration for towing and transport-linked services
• Occupational safety compliance for staff operating heavy tools and towing equipment
• Business bank account opening, done with your chosen bank once your certificate is in hand
• Annual returns filing in future years — a small, separate step we can also help with when the time comes

What You’ll Need

You most likely already have these ready:

1. Two proposed business names, ranked by preference
2. A valid means of ID — National ID (NIN), international passport, or driver’s license
3. A passport photograph
4. Your business address in Gombe — indicating the LGA
5. Phone number and email address
6. Nature of business — described simply, e.g. “auto mechanic services,” “vehicle towing,” or “auto electrical and diagnostics”
7. If you choose Limited Liability Company instead: names, ID and details of directors and shareholders

Nothing here needs advance preparation. Send it across on WhatsApp whenever convenient, and we’ll match it to CAC’s requirements.

How the Process Runs

1. Check name availability on CAC’s public search portal — handled on our end.
2. Reserve the name once availability is confirmed.
3. Complete the application with your business, director and Gombe address details.
4. Upload your ID and passport photograph — a phone photo is fine.
5. Pay the ₦35,500 filing fee, a one-time payment covering everything.
6. Receive your Certificate of Registration, TIN and Status Report, usually within 5–7 working days.

You Keep Vehicles Moving — Let a Registered Name Back the Business

Fixing vehicles and getting stranded drivers off the road takes real skill and reliability, and vehicle owners want a business name they can trust and call again. CAC registration is the comparatively simple part, and it’s worth getting settled early: it’s the document that lets you open supplier accounts for parts and take on fleet or institutional contracts formally, under a properly recognised business name. Beyond that first message and a single payment, there’s nothing left for you to chase up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CAC registration cost for an auto mechanic or towing business in Gombe? ₦35,500 all-inclusive, the same across all 11 LGAs. A Limited Liability Company registration is also available for ₦65,500 all-inclusive.

What do I actually get for the ₦35,500? Your name search and reservation, the completed CAC filing, the government processing fee, your Certificate of Registration, a Tax Identification Number, and a CAC Status Report confirming you’re active on the public register.

Is a Business Name enough to run a mechanic workshop or towing business? Yes — for most independent mechanics and towing operators, a Business Name establishes your legal business name and is the main registration you need to start.

Should I register as a Business Name or a Limited Liability Company? A Business Name suits most independent mechanics and towing operators starting out. If you’re running multiple workshops or a towing fleet, or bringing on partners, the Limited Liability Company route is worth considering.

When should I upgrade to a Limited Liability Company? Usually once you’re expanding to multiple locations, adding towing vehicles, or an investor specifically requires it.

Can I register mechanic services, towing and auto electrical work under one business name? Yes — a single registration covers your business as a whole. You can describe your nature of business broadly enough to include several, for example auto mechanic services and vehicle towing.

I run a small roadside workshop — can I still register? Yes — small and large auto businesses register the same way. You just need a business address in Gombe, which can be your workshop location.

Do I need SON compliance for imported spare parts? Yes — Standards Organisation of Nigeria compliance for imported spare parts and components is separate from CAC registration.

Do I need to register with a transport union to offer towing services? In many cases, yes — Road Transport Employers Association or relevant union registration is separate from CAC registration and applies to certain towing and transport-linked operations.

Will this certificate help me get a slot at the Mechanic Village or motor park? Many facility allocations ask for proof of business registration before space is assigned, so a CAC certificate is often the first document that opens that door.

Can I open a business bank account with the certificate? Yes — a CAC certificate is one of the main documents banks ask for when opening a business account, alongside your ID and other details.

Do you register businesses outside Gombe town? Yes — we register auto mechanic and towing businesses in all 11 Gombe LGAs, at the same price and turnaround time.

How long does registration take? Typically 5–7 working days, with nothing further required from you once you’ve sent your details.

What if my proposed business name isn’t available? Just send a backup name and we’ll check it right away. Having two or three ready in advance keeps things moving smoothly.

Does registering protect my business’s brand name or logo? No — CAC registration protects your business name from being taken by someone else at CAC, but trademark protection for a logo or brand is a separate process.

Is there a minimum workshop size required to register? No — CAC registration doesn’t set a minimum. You can register while starting small and scale from there.

Can I register both a repair workshop and a towing service under one name? Yes — a single registration covers your business whether you repair vehicles, tow them, or both.

Can I import spare parts directly with just this registration? CAC registration is your starting point, but importing spare parts also involves separate customs documentation and, depending on the item, additional regulatory clearance.

Do I need occupational safety compliance for my workshop? Yes — occupational safety compliance for staff operating tools and towing equipment is separate from CAC registration and matters more as your team grows.

Can I convert my Business Name registration to a Limited Liability Company later? Yes — many mechanic and towing businesses start with a Business Name and convert once they expand or take on partners; we can assist with that conversion when the time comes.

Do I need an accredited agent to register? It certainly makes things easier — we handle every detail so you don’t have to learn CAC’s process yourself. We’re a CAC-accredited agent, and we take care of your entire registration from name search through certificate delivery.
