CarFirst launches quality control units

LAHORE (PR): CarFirst, the leading platform for buying and selling used cars, is now launching Quality Control Units at each of its warehouses in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad.

Hasan Malik, head of Quality Control said: "QC is critical as we ensure a CarFirst inspected vehicle makes its way to an auto dealer or end customer with complete transparency. We are fast approaching the day when customers know that CarFirst's used vehicles are of a higher standard and sell at fair rates."

A vehicle goes through a 126-point inspection at the time of purchase, and afterwards goes through yet another 99-point QC review before it reaches online auction platform for auto dealers and strategic partners.

Both times, CarFirst inspectors use On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) devices to gather the most accurate data about the exterior and mechanical condition of the vehicle before it is made available for auction to partner network.

Over 800+ nationwide partners can peruse the inspection results in as much detail as they wish before placing their bids, and can evaluate the vehicle based on its actual condition rather than sheer speculation and market trends.
