Late Tahir Mehmood established CARS in Karachi in 1990 with a belief that was straightforward and, at the time, not especially common in Pakistan’s automotive market: that buyers deserved the full truth about what they were purchasing and what it would cost.
That principle shaped everything: how vehicles were sourced, how prices were presented, how imports were managed, and how clients were treated after the sale. It was not a positioning strategy. It was the way the business was run from the first day it opened.
When Arghan Tahir took over operations in 2008, he carried that foundation forward. Not as a tribute to the past, but because it was the right way to operate. Under his leadership, CARS has grown substantially, expanding its global sourcing reach, deepening its banking and insurance partnerships, and building an end-to-end service structure that no competitor in Karachi has matched. The business that operates today is meaningfully larger than the one founded in 1990. The values are identical.

The three things that have never changed since we started.
Every landed cost is declared upfront. Every vehicle condition is described accurately. Every buyer knows what they are paying before they commit to anything. This is not a policy we wrote; it is what Late Tahir Mehmood built the business on, and what Arghan Tahir has maintained without exception.
We do not source vehicles carelessly. Every car that comes through CARS Pakistan, whether from our showroom stock or ordered specifically for a client, meets a standard of condition and documentation that protects the buyer’s investment. Vehicles are inspected at the source. Customs clearance through Jumbo International ensures every arriving vehicle is exactly what was declared.
Trust is not claimed. It is the result of doing things correctly across thousands of transactions over 35 years. The buyers who come to us because a friend or colleague recommended CARS are the clearest evidence of what trust actually looks like in this market.
CARS Pakistan is more than a showroom. We are Karachi’s complete solution for imported cars. We source vehicles from Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the UAE, and Thailand. We clear every vehicle at Karachi port through Jumbo International Clearing Agency, an All Pakistan-Approved customs clearing agency. We handle registration with the Sindh Excise Department. We arrange insurance through providers who understand what imported vehicles actually require. And we facilitate bank financing through Pakistan’s leading conventional and Islamic banking partners.
Most buyers who come to us are not just looking for a car. They are looking for someone they can trust to manage a process that is unfamiliar, high-value, and genuinely complicated if handled incorrectly. That is the problem we have been solving for over three decades, for clients across Pakistan.
CARS Pakistan does not operate in isolation. The quality of our service depends on the quality of the partners we work with at every step.

Costs are declared upfront. Vehicles are exactly as described. Documentation is complete. And the relationship does not end at delivery.
"I have purchased three vehicles from CARS over the past eight years. The process is always the same completely straight. Prices are agreed upfront, the car arrives as described, and the team handles everything. I have never once felt like I was being managed. That trust is rare in this market."
