Founded on Waligo Road, Kampala, KO-HOSHIKO was built with a single purpose — to bring world-class automotive care to Ugandan drivers. Over 15 years, we have grown from a small workshop into Kampala's most trusted auto centre, servicing thousands of vehicles and earning the loyalty of individual drivers, businesses, and government institutions.

The Director
David Mubiru Luyima
Managing Director & Founder“Every vehicle that enters KO-HOSHIKO leaves in better hands than it arrived. Our commitment is not just to fix cars — it is to give every Ugandan driver the confidence that their vehicle is safe, reliable, and properly cared for.”
David Mubiru Luyima is a certified professional mechanic with deep expertise across all vehicle makes and models — from everyday saloons and 4×4s to heavy-duty commercial vehicles. His pursuit of mastery took him across the world, acquiring specialised automotive knowledge in Japan, Germany, England and the United States. It was this wealth of international expertise that he brought back to Kampala, founding KO-HOSHIKO over 15 years ago with a clear mission: to give every Ugandan driver access to world-class vehicle care.
Beyond the workshop floor, David is a recognised force in Uganda's automotive skills development landscape. He has served as a trainer at Jinja Vocational Institute and Nakawa Vocational Institute, and further contributes through the Ministry of Education and Sports in the delivery of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
