Carwow has teamed up with Warranty Solutions Group (WSG) to launch ‘BuySafe’, a consumer-to-business auction programme aimed at providing security to dealers purchasing vehicles through its online auctions.
Addressing the challenges dealers encounter in spotting hidden issues during inspections, BuySafe covers the repair or replacement costs of approximately 3,000 parts across vital systems like the engine, gearbox, alternator, differential, infotainment, lighting units, and supercharger, including associated labour expenses.
