Predominantly used-car market
With few new-car showrooms, most Manor Road work is pre-purchase inspection of used vehicles, often bought from dealers further down the line. The main risks are repaint, accident history and odometer tampering.
Manor Road is a small belt town with a mix of agrarian land, new township layouts and coastal villages such as Bordi. Pre-purchase inspection demand here is high relative to the number of showrooms, so most cars are bought second hand.
Every Manor Road inspection runs the same 80+ point checklist across 11 sections, with photo evidence for every finding and a report on WhatsApp and email within 15 minutes. Inspection starts at ₹999, with no travel charge.
We travel to the vehicle, wherever it is in Manor Road. Common inspection points include dealer yards, society parking, private homes and stockyards.
Palghar District: Palghar town, Manor Road, Dahanu, Boival, Vaitarna and Kelve. This is the furthest we travel, and the one place where asking the dealer to bring the car to a paved, lit inspection spot genuinely changes the result.
