    Auto firm introduces customer protection policy

    Auto firm, Carloha, has introduced a customer protection policy for its pre-owned vehicle division.

    The firm said every pre-owned vehicle bought from Carloha comes with a seven-day vehicle repair promise, a three-month or 5,000 km warranty, and a 149-point inspection certification. The auto firm said the strategic initiative is encapsulated in a service bundle called Carloha Care for pre-owned, and it is offered to customers at no extra cost.

    General Manager of Marketing, Felix Mahan, said it is aimed at elevating the standard of vehicle service delivery, fostering customer confidence, enhancing satisfaction, and ensuring long-term value.

    Mahan noted that Carloha is redefining the pre-owned vehicle buying experience in Nigeria.

    “We know that buying a pre-owned vehicle often comes with a level of uncertainty. Our policy is aimed at removing that uncertainty. With these assurances in place, our customers can focus on enjoying their vehicles instead of worrying about what might go wrong,” he said.

    The package signifies Carloha’s commitment to making quality used-vehicle ownership accessible and worry-free.

    With the Seven-Day Repair, customers are assured any mechanical and electrical issues will be resolved in seven days, or Carloha will provide alternative of mobility for the customer, as long as the vehicle remains with the company.

    The package, Mahan added, will reduce post-purchase anxiety and provide an added protection rarely seen in the pre-owned market while reinforcing Carloha’s reputation as a customer-centric brand dedicated to efficient service.
