Business Details
A comprehensive car dealership business centered on new and used car sales/purchase, vehicle inspection and maintenance, and sales of automobile accessories and parts. Under the mission of "eliminating accident-damaged and broken-down vehicles," the business promotes improvements in maintenance quality and safety inspection services. At the core of its strategy is the lifetime customer conversion of car-life demand, from creating customer touchpoints via vehicle inspections to accessory sales and vehicle trade-in proposals. The business is also strengthening digital customer engagement through its official app, myCAR Karte.
