How we verify every car

No car goes on GaariHaat until our own team has checked it at the Tejgaon showroom. This is exactly what they check, who does it, and what each check proves to you.

Md. Rafiqul Islam

Senior Inspector

Checks 4, 5 and 6: mileage, the physical inspection and test drive, and parts changed.

Nusrat Jahan

Documents Officer

Checks 1, 2 and 3: papers, chassis and engine numbers, and the auction sheet. On brand new cars, the importer papers and VIN.

The six checks, in order

CheckWhat we doWhat it proves to youWho
1Papers Reconditioned: import papers and customs clearance. Used: BRTA registration, ownership papers, tax token and fitness. We confirm there is no loan or dispute on the car. The car can be sold legally and you can register it in your name. Nusrat Jahan
2Chassis and engine numbers We read both numbers on the car itself, photograph them, and match them to the papers. The car in front of you is the car on the papers. Both numbers are on your booking slip after you reserve. Nusrat Jahan
3Auction sheet Reconditioned cars only. We check the sheet against the Japanese auction house record: lot number, grade, mileage and damage map. The grade and mileage from Japan were not changed before import. Nusrat Jahan
4Mileage We compare the odometer with service records and, for reconditioned cars, the auction sheet. The kilometres on the listing were not rolled back. Md. Rafiqul Islam
5Physical inspection Engine, gearbox, AC, brakes and suspension, then a test drive. A paint-depth meter on every panel finds repaint and accident repair. The car drives as it should, and any repair is found and written on the listing. Md. Rafiqul Islam
6Parts changed or repaired Every part replaced or repaired, by us or before, goes on the car's page with the reason. Nothing is hidden. If it was fixed, you read about it before you pay. Md. Rafiqul Islam

Brand new cars have no history, so they get three checks instead: importer papers, VIN and engine number, and zero km with factory condition.
