Customer Voice in Malawi

Level of Satisfaction 3.0

Transaction with TCV was so smooth and secure. Always able to quickly respond to you and you can also find every detail of your conversations. What also gives me confidence is the security that you are given when you deal with any car seller. Your money cannot be stolen and you can be assured that the car will be checked for you for advert verification before the seller is given the payment... TCV ensures that your verified car is shipped to you. This is my second transaction with TCV. The first transaction was in 2016.
