Our story:

From zero to Hero in 10 Years

Cars.co.za grew quickly from a start-up company founded in Johannesburg in 2009, to become South Africa’s leading automotive platform, and one of the most respected, recognisable brands in the automotive market. Cars.co.za offers more vehicle listings, greater reach, and the biggest social media following (across all platforms) of any motoring classifieds or media brand in South Africa. We achieved this as bootstrapped business with a purposefully small, dedicated team that shares a vision of empowering consumers and transforming the local motor industry for the better.

he Tech (and fun) at the heart of Cars.co.za

We pride ourselves on being a tech company, first and foremost. Online search has assumed an ever-increasing role in buying behaviour in the past decade, bridging the gap between buyers and retailers. Our rapid growth in this environment is attributed to implementing tech early and effectively in what was a conservative vehicle retail market, as well as investing in measures that helped us to gain optimal online visibility from an early stage. 

Technology and automation will continue to play an increasing role in the vehicle retail business and we are committed to being at the forefront of tech innovation in the motor industry. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun as well!

We love being part of the vibrant South African motor industry. While you don’t have to be a petrolhead to work here, you might very well become one! We even have our own car collection of uniquely South African icons and a dedicated brand for the more passionate car lovers. Called SentiMETAL, it hosts regular Cars & Coffee themed “Gatherings” and has its own online presence, offering not only world-class video content, but also an online store selling automotive-themed items.

Welcome to our home

We maintain a start-up culture and celebrate our employees, who work in a youthful and creative environment. We offer staff members the flexibility to achieve their professional goals and strive for an ideal work-life balance. 

Our head office, in Bedfordview, is home to the majority of our 50+ employees, and has a vibrant feel. We even have an in-house barista and are preparing for the future of mobility, with the installation of our first electric-vehicle charge station in 2020.  

We also have an office in Cape Town, predominantly for our creative/content team and we have recently started offering recruits in certain positions the option of working from the Mother City.

Our people.Our country. Our planet.

As a business we believe we are in a position to make a difference, positively impact the communities we live in, and leave the world a better place for future generations. This is why we have our eco and social endeavours and why the company is committed to investing at least 1% of its annual turnover into “Do Good” projects. We encourage our staff to roll up their sleeves and become active, positively contributing citizens.
