With the move, Astra now competes with players such as Carro, Carsome, OLX Autos, Carmudi, and Moladin.

In a statement, the company said Mobbi is integrated into Astra Group’s automotive business lines, which includes Toyota, Daihatsu, Astra Financial Services, Astra Buana insurance, and Astrapay digital payments.

CK Yap, director and co-CEO of Astra Digital Mobil, said Mobbi offers an eight-day money-back guarantee. Consumers can get a 100% refund if the car they bought does not match the inspection results from Astra’s experts within that period.

In addition to its website, Mobbi has an app available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
