The Story
From a personal love for cars to Kerala's most-followed virtual showroom — meet the man and the mission behind Kottakkal Cars.
The Founder
Shihab is an entrepreneur and automotive consultant with one driving belief: a used car deal should be as honest as a new car deal. After years of seeing buyers stuck with overpriced lemons and sellers shortchanged by middlemen, he built Kottakkal Cars to fix the model.
What started as a single Instagram account is now a 40,000-strong community of buyers, sellers and car enthusiasts across Kerala — with 1,500+ delivered cars and counting.
Our Values
One flat 1% commission. No hidden margins, no inflated prices, no surprises at the paperwork stage. Whatever we earn, you know about it.
Every car on our floor is personally inspected by Shihab. If we wouldn't drive it home ourselves, we don't list it.
Loan, insurance, RC transfer, doorstep delivery — we don't hand you a phone number, we handle it. End to end.
