The actual journey of a car begins once it’s a part of your life and you are behind the wheels as its rightful owner. For a new car, the journey tends to be quite smooth with insurance and warranty that accompany your drive from the manufacturer side. However, if you are going for a used car, one cannot really predict its future journey in advance. But, this was the story of the past. Now, you have the power of certification and warranty on used cars, which accompanies you during a purchase so you don’t have to sweat at all about the future of your drive. Although, certification insures a fault-less car, you cannot really rely on the outside world to offer you a similar assurance that your car will run trouble free once you take it out of your garage.

 

There is no guarantee that you will not hit a road bump or you will not have a flat tyre in future. Similarly, driving in the scorching heat or on a cold night, nature doesn’t give you the certification of not troubling your can for any wear and tear. Then again, there has to be a way to tackle this issue and we are glad to come up with one! 

CarDekho offers you the assurance of a tension free journey even after your purchase, so you focus all your attention on the happy moments of your drive and not on the bad ones.
