A Message From Our Founder

"Car Tribe Uganda was born from a vision to transform Uganda's automotive sector into a thriving, sustainable, and inclusive ecosystem."

Our journey began with a simple observation: there was a disconnect between experienced mechanics, emerging talent, automotive dealers, and car enthusiasts. We saw an opportunity to bridge these gaps and create a community that would empower everyone involved.

Today, I'm proud of what we've accomplished, but even more excited about our future. Together with our dedicated team, supportive partners, and engaged community members, we continue to push boundaries, challenge old ways of thinking, and build an automotive sector that works for everyone.

Whether you're a seasoned professional, a young mechanic just starting out, or simply passionate about automobiles, there's a place for you in our tribe. Join us as we drive innovation, foster community, and create sustainable opportunities in Uganda's automotive industry.
