One short link that carries your whole dealership

carQ was built around a frustration every dealer principal knows: your stock lives scattered across classified portals, Facebook posts and WhatsApp broadcasts, you pay for each listing separately, and none of it actually belongs to you. A listing expires, a post gets buried, and the buyer who was interested last week has no route back to your floor. carQ gives you something you own outright — one short, memorable link like carq.co.za/your-name that carries your entire showroom: live stock with photos and pricing, trading hours, every branch on a map, and a direct line to your sales team. Pricing is flat and in Rand, from R150 a month for a private seller up to R850 for a two-hundred-car dealership, with no per-listing fees and no long-term contract. Adding your tenth car costs the same as your hundredth, which is what makes carQ workable for a wide dealer network rather than only the big groups with a marketing budget.

Two things matter most once a buyer arrives. First, the platform is built mobile-first — the overwhelming majority of car shoppers are on a phone, often standing on your forecourt after hours, and a carQ link drops naturally into a WhatsApp message, an SMS, a windscreen sticker or a forecourt banner and opens instantly on any handset. Second, every dealership page includes its own AI sales assistant, trained on your specific stock and business details. When someone asks "do you have a diesel double cab under R300,000?" at eleven at night, they get a straight answer with the matching vehicles and prices — not a contact form — and if nothing matches exactly it offers the closest alternative on your floor rather than losing the lead. Interested buyers are handed to you as a callback request with their name and number. Buyers can also search across every dealer on the platform from our front page in plain English, which puts your stock in front of people who never went looking for your name.
