Spinny, one of India’s top used car marketplaces, has raised the bar in the pre-owned vehicle segment by launching a 3-year standard warranty on its cars — a move it claims is a first in the industry. Announced as part of a new advertising campaign, this offering directly challenges established players like Mahindra First Choice, Cars24, and Maruti True Value.
What’s New in Spinny’s Used Car Offering?
As part of the newly launched package, Spinny now offers:
-
3-year standard warranty
-
5-day money-back guarantee
These benefits aim to make the platform more trustworthy and buyer-friendly. It especially targets customers who may be hesitant about purchasing second-hand vehicles due to concerns over reliability or post-sale support.
How Spinny Compares to Other Used Car Platforms
Spinny’s new service clearly stands out against other industry offerings:
-
Maruti True Value: 1-year/15,000km warranty on cars less than 4 years old; 6 months for older cars
-
Cars24: 30-day standard warranty with extended plans of up to 1 year; 7-day or 500km return policy
-
Mahindra First Choice: Offers only extended warranty options, not a fixed standard warranty
Spinny’s return policy of 5 days may be slightly shorter than Cars24’s 7-day/500km return option, but the 3-year warranty far exceeds any standard warranty coverage available from other platforms.
New Campaign Featuring Sachin Tendulkar
The new warranty service is also being promoted through a creative advertising campaign, which includes visuals on Mumbai’s double-decker buses and other public spaces. The campaign features brand ambassador Sachin Tendulkar, aiming to build a stronger emotional connection with potential buyers and sellers.
Spinny’s move could reshape customer expectations in the used car segment, prompting other platforms to reevaluate their after-sales offerings. For now, it certainly positions Spinny as a front-runner in both service and consumer trust.
