  • Instant online car valuation and price estimation
  • Professional vehicle inspection services
  • Fair market value assessment based on vehicle condition

Valuation and Offers

Valuation Process

When you submit a vehicle valuation request through our website or other communication channels, we provide an initial estimated value based on the information you provide. This initial valuation is indicative only and subject to verification through physical inspection.

Warranty on Valuations

We guarantee that our final valuations are based on current market conditions and accurate assessment of your vehicle's condition. Our certified inspectors use industry-standard evaluation criteria to ensure fair and competitive pricing.

Offer Validity

All purchase offers made by Caroofix are valid for 48 hours (2 days) from the time of offer communication. After this period, the offer may be subject to re-evaluation based on current market conditions and vehicle availability.

To accept an offer, you must contact us within the 48-hour validity period. Offers that expire may require a new inspection and valuation.

Factors Affecting Valuation

  • Vehicle make, model, year, and mileage
  • Overall condition (mechanical, exterior, interior)
  • Service history and maintenance records
  • Accident history and damage repairs
  • Market demand and comparable vehicle prices
  • Outstanding finance or liens on the vehicle

Vehicle Custody and Responsibility

Once Caroofix takes custody of your vehicle (after signing the transfer agreement and receiving the vehicle), we assume full responsibility for the vehicle, including:

  • Protection against damage, theft, or vandalism while in our possession
  • Secure storage in our facility or designated location
  • Any mechanical malfunctions or issues that occur after custody transfer
  • Insurance coverage for the vehicle during the custody period

Prior to taking custody, the vehicle remains your responsibility. You must ensure the vehicle is in the condition declared during the inspection. Any undisclosed damage or mechanical issues discovered after inspection may result in offer adjustment or cancellation.

Pre-Custody Obligations

Before transferring custody, you must:

  • Ensure the vehicle is accurately represented in the valuation request
  • Disclose all known defects, damage, or mechanical issues
  • Provide access to the vehicle for inspection at the agreed time
  • Remove all personal belongings from the vehicle
  • Provide all keys, remotes, and access cards for the vehicle

Vehicle Transfer Requirements

To complete the sale and transfer of your vehicle to Caroofix, the following conditions must be met:

Required Documentation

  • Original vehicle registration card (Mulkiya)
  • Valid Emirates ID of the registered owner
  • Export certificate (if applicable for vehicles being exported)
  • No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the finance company (if the vehicle is financed)
  • Valid insurance policy documents
  • Service history and warranty documents (if available)

Owner Verification

The registered owner of the vehicle (or an authorized representative with a valid power of attorney) must be present at the time of vehicle transfer. We require:

  • Physical presence of the owner or authorized representative
  • Valid government-issued identification matching the registration documents
  • Verification that the seller has legal authority to sell the vehicle
  • Confirmation that there are no outstanding fines, fees, or liens on the vehicle

Transfer Cancellation

Either party may cancel the transfer before completion if:

  • The required documentation is incomplete or invalid
  • The owner cannot be verified or is not present
  • Undisclosed damage or discrepancies are discovered during final inspection
  • Outstanding fines, fees, or liens prevent legal transfer
  • Either party fails to meet the agreed terms and conditions

If a transfer is cancelled due to incomplete documentation or owner unavailability, you may reschedule the transfer subject to the offer validity period.

Inspection and Appointment Process

To receive a final offer, your vehicle must undergo a professional inspection by our certified inspectors. The inspection process includes:

  • Scheduling an appointment at a mutually convenient time and location
  • Comprehensive visual and mechanical inspection (typically 30-45 minutes)
  • Test drive to assess vehicle performance (when applicable)
  • Documentation review and verification
  • Final offer based on inspection findings

Appointment Scheduling

You are responsible for making the vehicle available at the scheduled inspection time. If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours notice. Repeated cancellations or no-shows may result in suspension of services.

Inspection Locations

Inspections can be conducted at our facility, your location, or a mutually agreed neutral location within our service area. Additional charges may apply for inspections conducted outside our standard service area.

Payment and Transaction Terms

Upon acceptance of our offer and completion of all transfer requirements, Caroofix will process payment according to the following terms:

  • Payment is made after successful transfer of ownership and receipt of all required documentation
  • Payment method is typically bank transfer to your designated account
  • Payment processing time is usually 1-3 business days after transfer completion
  • You must provide accurate banking details for payment processing
  • Caroofix is not responsible for delays caused by incorrect banking information

Outstanding Obligations

The final payment amount may be adjusted to account for:

  • Outstanding vehicle registration fees or fines (to be settled before transfer)
  • Finance settlement amounts (if applicable and agreed upon)
  • Any undisclosed damage discovered during final inspection
  • Costs associated with resolving documentation issues

All adjustments will be communicated to you in writing before proceeding with the transfer.
