What I think about “KINTO FACTORY”
I’m very happy to have this new addition to the KINTO FACTORY lineup.I especially want to buy a new car, but due to the current semiconductor shortage and other coronavirus outbreaks, delivery times will be extended considerably, so I’m often purchasing used cars. In such cases, if you purchase a car that does not come with manufacturer options, such as wanting to install a blind spot monitor after purchase, you can use KINTO FACTORY to increase satisfaction by being able to install it later. will also rise. We look forward to expanding our lineup of vehicles in the future.
