What's Covered
Comprehensive protection for every purchase on Mhauz.
Escrow Payment Protection
Your payment is held securely until you confirm the vehicle matches the listing. Funds are never released to the seller until you approve.
48-Hour Inspection Window
Take up to 48 hours after delivery to inspect the vehicle and confirm it matches the description. No pressure, no rush.
Misrepresentation Protection
Full refund if the vehicle has undisclosed damage, title issues, or doesn't match the listing. We hold sellers to their word.
Dispute Resolution
Mhauz mediates disputes between buyers and sellers to ensure fair outcomes. Our team reviews evidence from both sides.
How It Works
Five simple steps from browsing to buying with full protection.
Find Your Car
Browse verified listings from identity-verified sellers. Every listing includes VIN verification and detailed condition reports.
Message the Seller
Ask questions, request more photos, and get all the details you need. Our messaging system keeps everything documented.
Make a Secure Payment
Funds are held in escrow via Stripe. The seller can see the payment is secured, but cannot access funds until you confirm.
Inspect the Vehicle
You have a full 48-hour window after delivery to thoroughly inspect the vehicle. Check everything against the listing description.
