MC Iroko
Auto Services LLC is a one-stop shop for all types of motor vehicles.
The owner
is High Chief MC Orji, a graduate electrical engineer who for many years kept
planes flying in Lagos and Philadelphia, click here for story.
Everything
is done by the book at MC Auto Services LLC, as I would expect in a business
run by an aeronautical engineer with a perfect safety record of planes taking
off, flying and landing.
The
pictures left are of the shop, which is run by the High Chief with his
assistant manager, his son Kingsley Orji, last picture. Both Kingsley and the
High Chief are certified PennDot auto inspectors.
Kingsley is
a graduate in automotive engineering technology from Lincoln Tech, who is on
his way to becoming a graduate mechanical engineer. He fixes cars, loves fixing
cars, and he will be managing the new building which is rising across the
street.
The new
building is additional space because MC Iroko Auto Services is expanding: you
can see it through the open door.
I have
included a picture taken from outside his new building showing his current
building across the street on Woodland
Avenue, 2 blocks from University of the Sciences
in Philadelphia, and 10 blocks from the University of Pennsylvania.
Work done
in the car shop is all about cars: fixing cars, inspecting cars, checking
emissions and working with salvage vehicles.
Once the
new building opens, the current building will be dedicated to body work.
I have
visited the auto shop now several times, and know that the best part of the day
is the evening, because cars from outside are corralled inside the shop. The
High Chief tells me 16 can fit inside, which is a testament to the spatial
understanding of his half-dozen workers. Like herding cows. Loved it.
