Carviva Technologies Limited, an innovative autocare platform, has introduced flexible payment options to enable car owners purchase original items and pay at their convenience.

The indigenous tech solution provider, in a statement obtained by Business A.M, said the development is part of its commitment to make car ownership more affordable and sustainable for Nigerians.  It added that the payment plans have been made more flexible to ensure easy accessibility and ensure that car owners are able to get their cars fixed quickly and efficiently.

According to Adebola Desalu, co-founder and chief commercial officer of Carviva, the company has the target of enhancing car ownership sustainability, as it has partnered with a few financial institutions  to enable financing options for car spare parts, lubricants, long term car servicing plans and other accessories.

“We believe this will encourage car owners to purchase original items and pay at their convenience. Payments are spread over three to six months with minimal interest and markups on the products. Our goal is to promote car ownership sustainability and make sure Nigerian drivers get the best out of their cars for the long-term,” he said.

Desalu stated that Carviva exists to make sure that car owners can get their cars fixed quickly, easily, and at a fair price; which he  noted that  the company does by supplying Nigerian drivers with the genuine auto parts they need as well as educating them on how to best maintain their cars themselves.

He also remarked that the  flexible payment option is not a new  concept as it is a common practice across the world which has affected car users positively, noting that  Carviva hopes to achieve the same positive outcome  on car owners in Nigeria as it will afford them the opportunity to budget accordingly.

Desalu further stated that Carviva  is committed to ensuring the safety and security of its users, giving them more control over the value of their vehicles and increasing the chances of a higher return on investment.

The auto care platform currently offers access to genuine auto parts, oils, car servicing and other car accessories. It also has an extensive network of expert workshops that provide car repair services at a reasonable and transparent cost.
