I'd definitely recommend Car switch. My experience with Car switch was excellent. I paid the deposit, and a week later received the car as the seller wanted to fix few things. During this week the employees kept updating me, and asking if I need any help. They also got me insurance quotations and finished the insurance process through them.
I'd also thank Sufiyan, as he was there at Tasjeel and helped me through all the steps for 2 days in a row. Also Anthony the sales guy, he was so nice and professional.

Our experience with Car Switch was very satisfying. Mr. Barid came across as very courteous and helpful. He was in constant touch and responded to all of our queries very professionally. He made sure that we had a painless experience selling off our car. Thank you Barid and Car Switch!

CarSwitch was very easy to work with and made the process of selling my car quick and painless. The app is user friendly and easy to use, with regular updates coming through on how the car ad is performing. Their people are great too.
Both Kamran and Sufiyan were punctual, professional, and very knowledgable about the procedures involved in transferring ownership of a car in Dubai.
Sufiyan took the buyer and me through it all step by step at the registration centre, so that all the documentation was done and the car officially sold.
Overall, I'd say the fee is definitely worth the hassle-free experience.
Clair Hattle
Buying a car through CARSWITCH was overall a pleasant experience. The whole process was a smooth sailing because of good guidance at each stage from booking a viewing to the final registration.
We thank Sufiyan, who was extremely helpful with his impartial advices during the two comprehensive tests we did and the way he assisted us and the seller in the vehicle transfer process at RTA Tasjeel, Al Barsha. We thank and appreciate the work and professional attitude of Muhammad Shanib, Vickey, Sanjay, Mohammad, and Kamran as well.
The entire team deserves 5 stars apart from only the technical team, where there is still a slight gap for improvement to provide a more accurate car report and overall scoring. Having said that, please note that this team is the primary reason why all prospective ‘used car’ buyers should go with CARSWITCH in future and is highly recommended.
Raj Vayalil

Sufian from Car switch was extremely responsive, helpful, courteous and professional! He went over and above to try to make sure the closing of the buying process for me was as smooth as possible.

Interesting tips & facts
3 main watch outs when buying a car, accidents, GCC specs, and tire / brake condition - all available in the CarSwitch inspection report!
If you're clearing a seller's loan, make sure you have a signed Seller Agreement to avoid any risks! (CarSwitch can get you one)
Don't ever pay the seller before the transfer of ownership, even if you're getting the car at a bargain
When buying a car with warranty, check with the dealer if it is valid AND transferrable
Bank financing is up to a maximum of 60 months, and is shorter for older cars
The minimum loan value for which banks are willing to finance is generally around AED 25,000
Your used car loan cannot be greater than half your salary less existing liabilities
When financing a car, all banks require a valuation certificate from an authorised valuator to confirm the value of the car - CarSwitch can help
If you're buying a car with a service contract, confirm with the agency it is indeed transferrable!
Every car on CarSwitch is from a private seller, but we've inspected every one and put the results online so you save your time! All free
Clear your loan in advance, and make sure you've received the RTA SMS that's it done as Banks may miss notifying RTA
If your CarSwitch inspection score is below 4.0, you car may fail the RTA inspection and so consider getting minor repairs done
If your tires are older than 4 years, or brakes worn out, get them changed before transfer as the car will fail RTA inspection
When transferring your car at the RTA, don't forget to bring your Emirates ID and Car Mulkiya
Did you know you can hold on to your license plate number when selling your car? The RTA can hold them just for you for 3 months
Your asking price will determine how long it takes to sell your car, get it done right by checking carswitch.com/carvaluator
Never accept a personal cheque to sell your car, it might bounce! Cash, or manager's cheque, is king
Check if your insurance policy is refundable, you might get some money back once you complete the sale
Don't forget to get a copy of the new registration card after sale, you'll need it to cancel your insurance
If the value of your car is less than 10 times what you're paying for collision or comprehensive insurance then the coverage isn't a good deal.
Keep your service records! It's critical to getting a better price when selling your car, extended warranty is another big plus for buyers
Can't clear your loan? CarSwitch can get you a Seller Agreement (500 AED) so a buyer clears your loan for you
Only the registered owner can sell a car, if they're not available a valid and attested Power of Attorney required
Seller Agreement trumps a Power of Attorney, as the former cannot be cancelled
Don't forget to clear outstanding fines before transfer, some violations will require an in person visit to clear
After transfer, don't forget to remove the Salik Tag. Salik won't refund the balance though :(
Verify your service contract and warranty are actually transferrable to a new owner before placing your ad
If never kept service history receipts, you can ask your service center for a summary statement of your visits
Your insurance policy can be expanded to cover specific, or all, GCC countries in case you're a frequent traveller
Never agree to a buyer paying you in installments, ask them to apply for bank financing so you get paid in full up-front
If you're registering the car in another Emirate you'll likely need to transport it on a flat-bed truck which will cost AED +200 depending on the distance
If you're transfering a car from Abu Dhabi you can get Export plates valid for 3 days
