The car care experience has typically been fraught with a number of challenges, namely with inconsistent pricing, uncertainties in quality and a lack of transparency. These are the areas where the customer experience in car care has potentially left much to be desired, when ultimately the aim is to look after – jaga – one’s car. Enter Jacar. With the aim of delivering peace of mind in terms of the upkeep of one’s automobile, Jacar brings a host of reputable car care brands directly to vehicle owners via a mobile app, for Android and iOS devices, without having to face surprise price mark-ups or other hidden sales tricks. Through the mobile app, Jacar customers can book a car care service, select products from verified, reputable global brands, and watch their car being worked on and cared for through a live CCTV feed. Once the work is completed, customers will receive a full, digital record of the services carried out on their vehicle, including the related warranty. The Jacar platform was born from a desire to meet the needs of customers who may not necessarily have had all their car care needs met. “Car owners deserve full visibility, not just a receipt and a hope. We built Jacar to give that that back to them,” said Jacar CEO Kelly Teoh. With this official launch, the Jacar car care network is currently comprised of outlets in Bandar Utama and in Bandar Sunway, and the opening of new locations are planned for the third quarter of this year. In the longer term, Jacar aims to have a network of 100 connected outlets nationwide in Malaysia. Partnering with four globally recognised brands, Jacar has brought on board Llumar, a USA-based brand known for window tint and paint protection film; KeePer, from Japan, known for its precision ceramic coating systems; GS27 from France, a specialist in advanced car detailing; and Pecca Leather, a leading Malaysian name in automotive upholstery. No matter which brand of product the customer has selected for their car care service, each service is carried out by technicians who are certified by the brand itself. For keeping of records, each job is recorded digitally and each one comes with a traceable warranty.
