CARSOME Certified: The New Standard of Buying Pre-owned Car

By

Written by Carsome Editorial

CARSOME Certified cars are our pride – it defines quality refurbished cars that welcome a new standard to deliver safety beyond standards, complete comfort, and refurbished aesthetics in pre-owned cars, as supported by our skilled technicians.

The concerns of traditional car buying are eliminated with our end-to-end buying journey as CARSOME Certified is not just a seal of quality, it is a best-in-class experience that defines the new standard.

We believe in creating a trusted used car ecosystem that is better in every way. That is why from the moment you start browsing until the time you’re enjoying your dream ride, CARSOME Certified is there to guarantee trust, transparency, and choice at every step.

Quality Cars Backed by a 175-Point Inspection & CARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process

What defines quality in our pre-owned CARSOME Certified cars starts with our stringent 175-point inspection that identifies the best cars, followed by our CARSOME Refurbishment Process where cars that have passed our inspection are refurbished to operate at their peak performance.

175-point inspection:
 Our inspection standards ensure that cars are free of major accidents or flood damage.

CARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process:
After the 175-point inspection is complete, the car then arrives at our CARSOME Certified Lab, where the CARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process begins which combines data and technology, automotive know-how, and skilled and experienced technicians to raise the bar of quality for pre-owned cars.

The CARSOME
Certified
 Refurbishment Process

Step 1

A Stringent Selection

Only cars that have gone through our stringent 175-point inspection are chosen and sent to the CARSOME Certified Lab.

Step 2

Mechanical & General Repairs

With mechanical and general repairs, global safety standards are followed to ensure CARSOME Certified cars operate at optimum functionality, while tools such as an Onboard Diagnostic Scanner (ODS) detect and service all electronic issues to maintain key safety features.

We also go beyond global safety standards for tire treads (depth must be more than 2.2mm, global standards are set at 1.6mm) and brake pad thickness (must be more than 4mm, global standards are set at 3mm).

Step 3

Body & Paint

Scratches and dents are marked according to a strict criteria that determines if any body panel resprays are required. Only reputable and quality OEM paints are used, along with a 3-step high performance paint correction.

Polishing is also carried out with protective wax for a smooth and mirror-like finish.

Step 4

Detailing

The final touches include an exterior wash, which covers the engine bay. An extensive interior deep-clean is also conducted.

Step 5

Final Control Check

An extensive CARSOME Certified Lab technical inspection is performed once refurbishments have been made.

Every vital part is reviewed to make sure it adheres to our strict criteria so that every CARSOME Certified car has safety beyond standards, complete comfort, and refurbished aesthetics.

Trust Our Promises for Peace of Mind

Besides ensuring quality in CARSOME Certified cars, we push our standards further to elevate our promise of peace of mind. This is why every CARSOME Certified car comes with the following:

From Idea to Academy: Carsome Co-founder & Carsome Academy Director Teoh Jiun...

By

Devan S

Teoh Jiun Ee, Carsome Co-founder and CEO of Carsome Academy

Carsome Co-founder and Carsome Academy Director Teoh Jiun Ee is a busy man. From handling the day-to-day affairs of the company to executing corporate strategy, Jiun Ee was focused on cash flow and profitability alongside co-founder and Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Eric Cheng.

Teoh Jiun Ee, Carsome Co-founder and Director of Carsome Academy

These days, Jiun Ee, or JT as he’s better known within the industry, is also spending his time as Carsome Academy Director. Carsome Academy is a human capital development center and technical institute, where graduates can attain accredited technical certifications that are recognized both internally and externally from Carsome.

From Carsome’s early days to becoming Malaysia’s first unicorn, let’s explore Jiun Ee’s journey from taking a seed of an idea to establishing Carsome and its Academy.

The Beginning of a Great Idea

Prior to starting Carsome, Jiun Ee worked in media and advertising. In fact, that was where he got to know Eric. From there, the ambitious duo started to talk about business ideas.

“Eric is five years older than me, but at the time he was way more successful. I was driving a Myvi, while he was already driving a Mercedes. I wanted to be like him. So that’s where our partnership started.

“Since we were in advertising, we were engaged with many different industries. Back then, we thought about everything from tourism to technology,” said Jiun Ee.

The seed of the idea that would become Carsome was planted when Jiun Ee’s sister faced problems buying a new car.

“We had to go to multiple dealerships, talk to different people and further negotiate with them all to find the best price for a car. That was the biggest pain point for us, and we realized that this was a space that we could start in and disrupt the market.

“I think of Eric as one of my mentors as my story with Carsome began with him. The great thing about our partnership is that we have the same vision from the beginning. We obviously have had our highs and lows, but that is what being business partners is all about,” he said.

Driving Onwards & Upwards into the Used Car Industry

As can be expected from any startup, Carsome’s beginnings were not easy. At first, Carsome attempted to solve the problem of price comparison by becoming a middleman. “We wanted to help the customer and the salespeople at the same time. Our approach was to not only help customers get the best price, but also to help salespeople drive traffic to their doors,” said Jiun Ee.

But that plan was scuppered when a major car brand told their dealers not to work with Carsome. “We were considered a brokerage by the brand, and their internal rules discouraged brokering. That was a big hit for us as most of the traffic coming into our website at the time were for that brand’s sports utility vehicle (SUV). We had to rethink our whole business model,” he said.

Eric and Jiun Ee soon learned that they could pivot easily to the used car market. “One of our observations was that people trading in a used car for a new car also faced the same issues – which was how to get the best price for the used car. And this market had even less rules than the new car market. One inspector might rank a car as Grade A, while another could rank the exact same car as Grade B. Essentially, there are no rules.

“It also surprised me that inspections took only 30 minutes. We could earn more in this half hour compared to the months of waiting lists for new cars. So we decided to move our resources to the ‘sell’ part.

“When we expanded to Indonesia and Thailand, we took one and a half years to study the market. We also noticed that the ‘selling’ side is as critical in these markets. With a few tweaks, we duplicated the model regionally and that’s where we are now. Using that idea, we built a full-fledged ecosystem for the used car market,” he explained.

From there, Carsome expanded by opening more inspection centers, hiring more inspectors and standardizing their inspection report.

“We also found that as the team grew, we needed to open up more positions, like supervisors and operation specialists. That’s how we started to learn that we needed to hire the right people to do the right jobs,” he said.

The People Factor: Carsome Academy’s Inception

Though its business is primarily online, Carsome was not spared from the lockdown. Jiun Ee explained, “We wanted to scale but we could not move because of the lockdown.”

Hence, Eric and Jiun Ee reviewed the business and found that there was still a gap in terms of people. “We were always concentrating on scaling the business, and we forgot about our basics, which is people,” he explained.

“When we saw the business, we realized that we needed to train our people, especially the inspectors. Because when you look at it, there’s actually no accreditation for motor vehicle inspectors. There’s no certified program in the market for this as well. Seeing how important the inspectors are for our business, that’s where the idea of Carsome Academy came about.

“No other institution or company has this kind of SKM-level program. So we took this opportunity to build Carsome Academy – the course structure, the accreditation, even the center in Kelana Jaya from scratch. It was a challenge setting it up in the middle of a pandemic but we came through.

“2020 has been a blessing in disguise for us as we could take our time to set up the Academy properly. Although it has been a slow process at times, we are the first and so far the only company to offer such a program,” he said.

More than Just an Academy

Carsome Academy is more than just a stepping stone to becoming a skilled technician. It also has a social impact element as well.

“Young Malaysians with only a PT3 qualification can join us for one year of training. The first three months are classroom theory, and the next nine months will be on-the-job training. They will be sent to our retail centers to learn with their mentors. After that year, they can earn an SKM Level 3 certification in motor vehicle inspection.

Carsome Academy students undergoing training

“What’s special is that we can place graduates immediately in Carsome, and they can draw a respectable salary. What’s more, if they work with us for two years, once the third year starts we will reimburse the tuition fees back to them. In effect, it is like a free education, where all you need is commitment,” said Jiun Ee.

Jiun Ee also explains that the Academy also helps the Carsome brand indirectly. “With Carsome Academy, we can build the gold standard in automotive practice. We are able to shout it out loud to the Southeast Asian market that our standard is the exact standard of service you get. By being the first mover in this field, it actually benefits the Carsome brand immensely,” he explained.

But more than anything, Carsome Academy has been Jiun Ee’s passion project. “My dream is actually to open a football academy, because I’m crazy about football,” laughed Jiun Ee. “Carsome Academy is the next best thing. Right now, we probably can have 100 students per year. I’m not satisfied with that. I want to do more – at least 500 students. Human development is the way forward, and I’m proud to be championing that.”

CARSOME Inspection Centre At Tesco Extra Ampang Is Now Open!

By

Carsome Author

    Those looking to sell their cars through Carsome can now head to our latest inspection centre location at Tesco Extra Ampang! The recent opening allows customers within the area of Ampang, Cheras, Maluri, Setiawangsa and greater to bring their vehicles for inspections and transactions apart from the centre’s in Kelana Jaya and Old Klang Road.

    Customers who came for the official opening last Saturday were provided with a free inspection by our group of experienced inspectors. If you are uncertain as to why you should sell your car through us, let us explain why we are the best option for car selling in Malaysia today.

Convenience & Transparency

    The price of your car is largely dependent on various factors. Many of which are based on use, age, model, wear, tear and more. And because all these factors affect the price, it doesn’t help that various dealers that you visit, will offer you different prices as well.

    What makes us Fair, is the fact that we have a transparent bidding system that connects you to over 800 dealers nationwide; with the best offers given via dealers’ bidding. This not only removes the need to haggle, it makes it easier for you to skip the lengthy selling process that comes with time and money without results.

    To date, Carsome has sold over 10,000 cars and counting; requiring the customer to
fill in their car’s manufactured year, brand and model with engine capacity and transmission type to begin selling your car
. How do we calculate the price of your car? Through all the cars sold, we have a comprehensive market knowledge and data to evaluate cars realistically. While you might feel that the prices we estimate your car to be low, these numbers have yet to be assessed by our team of inspectors.

    Once that is done, and you decide to sell, sit back and relax as the next step only requires official documents which we will then proceed to complete the paperwork.

Here’s How We Give Quality Carsome Certified Cars

By

Haziq Asyraf

When buying a pre-owned car, there may be some doubt about its quality, simply because it is a pre-owned vehicle. Plus, the entire process can be daunting as well – it is hard to know where to start, especially if it is your first time and with the amount of paperwork, as well as the back and forths.

That’s why at Carsome, giving you a hassle-free journey when you buy a Carsome Certified car is among our highest priorities.

This rings especially true with our 175-point inspection that makes sure every car sold to us is free from major accident, frame, flood, or fire damage.

So, here’s how we give you Carsome Certified cars.

Carsome’s 175-Point Inspection

All Carsome Certified cars must pass our 175-point inspection – the gold standard when it comes to pre-owned cars. The inspection involves a few guidelines that guarantee all cars within our inventory are free from major accidents, as well as frame, fire, and flood damage. In fact, Carsome Certified cars are like one in a hundred, as it is carefully selected with our stringent 175-point inspection.

Following our inspection, the car will then arrive at our Carsome Certified Lab, where it goes through our Carsome Certified Refurbishment Process.

So, here is what we inspect to ensure we give you quality pore-owned cars.

Major Inspection

Our professional inspector will assess the main components of the car’s structure – the chassis, the car’s pillars, the frame, the roof panel, among others.

We will look for distinct signs of repair or replacement on any welding joining marks for the components mentioned as it notes that the car has been in a major accident.

No Major Accident

On top of that, we will also look at the seatbelts and airbags as well to see if they are working well or have been replaced. These features are designed to work effectively only once and they are usually replaced after an accident happens.

This inspection ensures that the car has not been involved in any major accidents since these key components are involved when repairing a car that has been damaged severely.

No Fire Damage

Although fire damage sounds like a major issue that you will be able to recognize at a glance, this is not usually the case, especially if it has been repaired and covered up.

This is why we inspect all the rubber, plastic, and wiring components in the engine room, cockpit area, and cargo bay for distinct burn marks or signs of melting. These things can lead to or can be the result of a car fire.

No Flood Damage

Flood damage is particularly harmful to cars. Not only does it lead to mold and rust, but it also damages the electrical system, engine, and transmission which will render the car dangerous for driving.

Signs of flood damage are difficult to spot, but our inspectors are trained to examine all nooks and crannies of the car including the door panels, trims, steering couplings, and air filters to ensure that there are no damp spots or rust marks.

Exterior Inspection

Besides looking at the usual wear and tear of the car, the exterior inspection is done to visually identify if the car has had any major damage.

The main points of interest when conducting exterior inspection include bolts and nuts, base color, sealant, bumpers, lights, as well as rims, and wheels. Our inspectors are trained to ensure that these components adhere to our Carsome Certified standards.

Any scratches or dings on the body will be included in the inspection report along with a clear photo so customers are informed about the condition of the car they’re buying. This is also done so that these flaws can be repaired when the car goes through refurbishing later.

The next part of our 175-point inspection deals with the interior of the car. Our inspector will conduct a thorough inspection on all the interior components and amenities of the car including all the buttons, knobs, gauges, locks, as well as the audio system and the air conditioning system.

In order to adhere to our Carsome Certified standards, these components should be in proper working order and in good condition. This includes making sure the air conditioning blows cold air, the power window button works, the audio system functions properly, etc.

Should there be any issues with the interior components such as the air conditioning, it will be included in the inspection report to be repaired when the car goes through refurbishing.

Engine Inspection

This is a vital part of our 175-point inspection process. The engine is a crucial component and our skilled inspectors take extra care in making sure that it works properly.

During engine inspection, our skilled inspectors will ensure they verify the engine number first as it provides important information about the car itself – what kind of engine it is, how to maintain it, to check the legitimacy of the car, etc.

After it has been verified, our inspectors will proceed to check the oil and fluid levels in the engine to identify if there are any leaks in the engine. Engine leaks can accelerate the wear and tear of the engine which will lead to major damage.

In order to provide our customers with quality pre-owned cars, the engine oil, and the oil filter are replaced, if required, after the inspection.

Underbody Inspection

Another essential part of our 175-point inspection is the underbody inspection. During this inspection, our instructors will be looking at the undercarriage of the car to look for signs of rust, leaks, or recent repairs.

The focus of this inspection would be components such as the transmission system, the suspension system, the exhaust system, the brakes, among others. They should be in proper working condition to adhere to our Carsome Certified standards.

Road Test Inspection

Our inspection also involves a road test conducted by our inspectors. The car will be taken for a short drive to identify any problems with its important parts such as the engine, steering system, brakes, suspension, transmission, gearbox, etc.

During the test, our inspectors ensure that the mechanisms mentioned above are in smooth working condition while also keeping an eye out for any abnormal noises, vibrations, or faulty mechanical issues that are affecting the car while it moves.

Any issues found during the inspection will be included in the inspection report and they will be raised and fixed during refurbishing so you will end up with a safe and comfortable car that’s fun to drive with.

Car Tips
Switching up Your Car Engine: Can You Do it in Malaysia Legally?

By

Haziq Asyraf

There are a few reasons why many change their car’s engine – it can either be because of
car engine failure
 or simply to swap it out for a more economical or more powerful solution.
If you are in the market for a new car engine, just like any other part of a car, there are rules when it comes to engine modification.
In Malaysia, the
Road Transport Department (JPJ)

has set guidelines that you will need to follow when it comes to engine modification.

Check with JPJ Before You Modify Your Car  in Malaysia

Changing your car’s engine will require a visit to Puspakom and JPJ –  you must bring your car for a Puspakom inspection and get approval from JPJ as some modifications are illegal, while others may be subject to some hefty fines.  In general, a special Puspakom inspection, better known as the Puspakom B2 Inspection, is necessary for:

Private vehicles with road tax that has expired for more than three years

Modified vehicles (modification of car engine specifications, chassis, or vehicle body)

New or used imported cars that need to be registered with the JPJ

Change of
Car Plate Number

Other requirements as requested by the JPJ

According to Section 12 of the
Road Transport Act 1987, modifications made to any vehicles before or after registration must be done legally.  Additionally, your car may even be inspected by the Director-General at any time.

How to Change Your Car Engine Legally in Malaysia

Now, let’s circle back to modifying your car engine. Here is a detailed guide on what needs to be done before and during your Puspakom B2 Inspection.

Types of Car Engine Change Application

There are various types of engine changes and with each type, JPJ has implemented these in specific categories. Here are the breakdowns.

Category one:
Engine change of the same make and capacity (cc), or with a capacity not exceeding 25 percent of the original engine* (private vehicles only).

Category two:
 Engine change of a different make or capacity that exceeds 25 percent of the original engine.

Category three
: Engine change that involves fuel type change.

Category four:
 Engine change on Proton-made cars with Campro engines to Mitsubishi-made engine.

Category five:
Engine change that involves changing of the gearbox (from manual to auto).

Category six:
 Engine change for commercial vehicles.

*
The original engine refers to the engine mode installed in your car by the manufacturer when you first bought it.

List of Engines that are Similar

When replacing your engine, you will need to research which engines are suitable or similar to the one you want. Here’s a list of engines that are similar based on the brands.

Original Engine

Similar Engines (Clones)

Proton

Mitsubishi

Renault (Savy, Waja 1.8)

Citroen (Tiara)

Perodua

Daihatsu

Toyota

Ford

Mazda

Peugeot

Citroen

HICOM

Isuzu

* Engine change must be from the same engine model variance. Any modification on the engine mounting is strictly prohibited.

Car Engine Change Application Requirements

Here are some engine requirements that need to be addressed before an engine modification change can be applied.

The change must be made according to the specified rules under the 1959 Motor Vehicle Rules (Construction and Use) L.N. 170/1959.

Engine modifications for category one are only applicable to motorized vehicles.

Applicants must submit a K1 Customs Form when the purchase of imported engines are involved.

If an engine is obtained or purchased from another vehicle owner, the applicant must submit an official letter confirming the sale and purchase together with the JPJK2 Registration Certificate Card (Car Grant).

The overall structural integrity of the vehicle must be sound, especially the chassis frame.

No structural modification can be made on the front cross member, steering linkage and steering box.

No modification can be made on the base engine mounting and no welding can be made on the engine mounting’s additional structure.

Proton models apart from the Perdana and Inspira models can only have their engines changed to those with a maximum capacity not exceeding 1836cc (1.8 liter). Changes to engines with the capacity of 1997 or 1998cc (2.0 liter) can only be made on Proton Perdana and Proton Inspira.

The vehicle’s smoke emission opacity must not exceed 50 percent.

The vehicle must pass the braking system efficiency test during the inspection.

So, What are the Documents Required for Engine Modification?

Category

Documents

Category one

(
Applicants are not required to apply at the Automotive Engineering Department and can simply proceed with the inspection at Puspakom).

The original copy of the vehicle registration card signed by the owner

The original copy of the engine purchase receipt

The original copy of the K1 customs report

A confirmed sales and purchase letter (for engines purchased from other vehicles)

Category two to six

(
Applicants can directly apply at the Automotive Engineering Department for the approval letter before a Puspakom inspection
)

Engine Change Notification Form

A photocopy of the vehicle registration card signed by the owner

A photocopy of the engine purchase receipt

A certified photocopy of the K1 customs report

A confirmed sales and purchase letter (for engines purchased from other vehicles)

After the approval letter is issued (for category two to six), the applicants must get their car inspected at Puspakom within three months of the letter’s issuance date to obtain the B2 Puspakom Inspection Report. You will need to submit additional documents for your car inspection. Here are the documents.

The approval letter from the Automotive Engineering Department of JPJ

The original copy of the vehicle registration card signed by the owner

The original copy of the engine purchase receipt

The original copy of the K1 customs report

A confirmed sales and purchase letter (for engines purchased from other vehicles)

A PG10 report (for engine change that exceeds 30% of the original engine

Getting  Puspakom B2 Inspection Report for Engine Change

Here are the detailed steps that need to be taken to get a Puspakom B2 Inspection Report for Engine Change.

Get Your Car Inspected at Your Nearest Puspakom

You are advised to provide the following documents for a smoother inspection process:

Original Vehicle Registration Card/Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC)

K1 Customs Form

If the modification of the new engine involves sales and purchase from family members,  friends or close acquaintances, a sworn affidavit is required to replace the K1 Customs Form. This car will undergo two stages of inspection at Puspakom which are:

Brake Test:
 Check brake performance including brake efficiency and brake imbalance. The applicant will then receive a VR1 report and a fee of RM35 will be charged.

Overall Test:
 The overall inspection involves the identification of the registration number, chassis and engine, etc. The applicant will then receive a B2 report and a fee of RM25 will be charged.

Approval from JPJ (For Category two to six)

For situations that fall under category two to six, applicants are required to get an approval from the officer in charge at the Automotive Engineering Division before their car gets inspected at Puspakom.

Update Your Car’s Information

After obtaining the approval from Puspakom, the applicant must update their latest car information (new engine modification) at their nearest JPJ branch or office. Here are the documents required to update your car’s information at JPJ:

Completed K8 Form

Applicant’s Identity Card (MyKad)

Special Inspection Report B2 Puspakom

Vehicle Ownership Letter (VOC)

Puspakom

So, before you modify parts of your car, it’s always safer to do your research if that particular modification is legal in Malaysia – otherwise, you may be subject to a summon. With that, we hope your modification applications go smoothly.

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy The New Honda Jazz Hybrid

By

carsomeadministrator

Honda Malaysia
 earlier today unveiled the new
Honda Jazz
 facelift that is available in three 1.5-litre petrol variants and a new Hybrid model. The new Jazz now features Push Start Button with Smart Entry and a minimum of 15-inch alloy wheels as standard across all variants. While upgrades are mostly aesthetic with additional features for all variants, Honda’s new sporty Hybrid Jazz should be on everyone’s shopping list for a new hatchback, here’s why.

First and Only Debut Outside of Japan

Credit: Honda

Malaysia has become the first and only country outside of Japan to get the third generation Jazz Hybrid. For Honda in Malaysia, Hybrid vehicles isn’t new to the brand. In fact, it has been 10 years since the brand introduced the Civic Hybrid to the Malaysian market, and since then, have seen other models that include the Insight, CR-Z and the previous generation Jazz Hybrid that was locally assembled until the end of its generation cycle in 2014.

It Features A New Sport Hybrid i-DCD System

Credit: Honda

The i-DCD stands for Intelligent Dual-Clutch Drive Hybrid system, and unlike its predecessor, is one that is touted to provide excellent acceleration for a sportier driving experience. The new Hybrid System is powered by a lithium-ion battery that has 1.5 times more electricity storage than before, yet is more compact in size. What separates the Jazz Hybrid with the standard Jazz is that although both combustion engine’s are 1.5-litres, the one in the Hybrid is a DOHC i-VTEC unit. When electric motor and combustion engine comes together, the system delivers up to 135 horsepower, equivalent to a 1.8-litre engine.

Credit: Honda

Unlike the previous generation IMA hybrid system, the new Jazz Hybrid allows for more independent functioning of the electric motor which allows the car to run more on EV mode.

It Was Tested In Malaysia for Two Years

Credit: Honda

To ensure that the Jazz Hybrid meets the standards for local driving styles and conditions, the Malaysian Honda R&D facility tested the Jazz Hybrid for 2 years over 7,000km on Malaysian roads across various road conditions.

It Comes With A Compact 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission

Here the electric motor is so small that it fits inside the transmission case.
Credit: Honda

Dual clutch transmissions basically automate gear changes using two clutches while retaining the structure, low power loss and strong acceleration of a conventional manual transmission. The immediacy of the gear changes are thanks to the use of two clutches that are paired with odd and even-numbered gears. Honda has managed to reduce the size of the DCT unit by designing the first gear as a planetary gear, decreasing its size in relation to the constant mesh gears.

Well-equipped and Safe

Seen here is the new Jazz interior. The Hybrid variant features a different meter cluster and shifter.

The new Jazz Hybrid will be available in one variant that shares the same specifications as the E grade petrol Jazz but with Cruise Control included. Here the new Jazz has a 5-star Asean NCAP safety rating, with brake assist and ABS as standard, while vehicle stability assist, emergency stop signal and hill start assist made available across E, V and Hybrid variants.

Selling Your Car
Self-Inspect Your Car & Sell It to Carsome

By

Haziq Asyraf

Before selling your car, an inspection is a great way to find out its current market value. But setting up an inspection takes a lot of time, could cost you money, and it should be done by someone who has been trained and is trustworthy in order to get a proper value for your car.

Carsome aims to take all that hassle away by simplifying the process for you so you can sell your car conveniently with peace of mind. With our new Self-Inspection feature, you can sell your car in the comfort and safety of your own home!

Here’s how our new self-inspection feature works.

Step 1: Arrange a Self-Inspection Session

Before you start the
self-inspection
 process please note that this feature is
currently available within the Klang Valley region
 and is
only applicable for continental car brands
 such as Jaguar, Audi, Volvo, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes, and the likes at the moment. More brands will be added in the future so stay tuned for that announcement!

Once you have decided to sell your car, or if you’re curious to find out the current value of your car, the first step is to
call 1800 88 3388
 or
click
here
 to WhatsApp our Customer Service team
 to arrange a self-inspection session.

Step 2: Complete The Form

Next, our team will get in touch with you and send you a Google form that you will need to complete while conducting the self-inspection. The following are some personal and vehicle-related details that you will have to fill in:

Vehicle Plate Number
 – The number plate of the car that you plan to sell.

Vehicle Brand
 – The brand of the vehicle that you are selling such as BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, etc.

Vehicle Model
 – Model of the vehicle that you are selling such as BMW X1, Volkswagen Passat, Audi A4, etc.

When taking photos of your car, you are advised to do it under a well-lit condition. You can also make use of your mobile phone’s flash function to ensure the photos you take come out clear and not blurry.

You can also include extra photos of your vehicle if there are certain conditions or damages that you would like to highlight. The extra photo should be a clear, close-up shot that will clearly show the conditions that you would like to highlight.
