Car service is one of the things you should do after buying a used car. When you buy a car from a private seller or a used car dealership you will not have a clear idea of its internal condition. Take the car to an authorized service centre only. Ask for a comprehensive vehicle service including oil and filter changes. So, you can avoid the possibility of any malfunctions immediately. If you have any doubts or concerns regarding your purchased used car, you can contact our technical team. Even if you don't buy a car from us, we will help you.
Clean the car externally and internally. Of course, we agree that you got the car in bright and shiny condition. After proper cleaning by seller or dealer. However, it is better to clean the car before you start using it. Cleaning is the first step in making someone else's car your own. Welcome your family members to a properly cleaned and disinfected vehicle.
Road traffic laws in India stipulate transfer of ownership by car seller. Even then, as a responsible buyer, you should ensure that the transfer of ownership of the vehicle takes place as per the prescribed rules. Executives from Heinz Motors will handle all documentation for transfer of ownership on your behalf. In turn, the vehicle will be available in your name only. And there is no need to rush through the formalities. Transfer formalities become paramount when you are buying a pre-owned car from a personal seller or someone you know directly. If so, don't delay the transfer of ownership and get it done before you take possession of the car.
Car insurance is mandatory. The insurance amount depends on the age of the vehicle. If the vehicle has valid insurance, transfer it to your name. Alternatively, you can opt for new car insurance in your name. Since the car is second-hand, the insurance amount will be much less compared to a new car. Take insurance in your name anyway. This will not only avoid RTO fines but also ensure financial assistance in case of an unfortunate incident.
After buying a used car, periodic maintenance is one of the most important things you should do to keep the car healthy. People often skip periodic servicing thinking that it is a used car. Whether the car is second hand or new, regular servicing is necessary. This is the best way to avoid unexpected breakdowns, costly breakdowns and frequent system failures. You can consider reliable service centres of Heinz Motors for periodic maintenance of your car.
