Our story

Born from a bad experience buying a car.

2016

The origin

Carlos García, our founder, tried to buy a used car in Mexico and went through a process full of distrust, friction and opacity. He decided the industry needed a drastic change.

2017 — 2019

A new standard

We built an operation obsessed with inspection, warranty and price transparency. For the first time, buying and selling a car could be done 100% online with peace of mind.

2020 — 2022

Regional expansion

We took the model to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru, and crossed borders to also reach Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia.

Today

A global platform

We are the largest used car platform in emerging markets. We combine technology, data and human service so that every decision about your car is simple and safe.

Our vision

Bringing the joy back to owning a car.

We want to offer a complete solution to every car owner in the markets where we operate. We build for two things: technology that generates transparency and a service centered on people.

Technology
Our pricing algorithms and digital processes ensure every car is valued fairly and that paperwork stops being an obstacle.
Customer experience
Proactive, personal and patient service. We accompany every step, from the first search to the day you sell again. Your peace of mind is our priority.
What makes us different?

Five commitments that define us.

Every car we sell goes through the same process, no exceptions. This gives you the certainty that you're buying right.

01

We accompany you throughout the entire lifecycle of your car.

02

We own our inventory — no middlemen.

03

Every car goes through a rigorous 240-point inspection.

04

7-day return policy if the car does not meet your expectations.

05

Warranty included on every car, terms vary by vehicle.

Our values

What guides us every day.

Three principles define how we work, how we decide and how we treat our customers and our team.

1

Obsessed with the details

We go the extra mile to understand what our customers need and put ourselves in their shoes. We only offer products we would sell to our own family.

2

Creative and disruptive

We are game changers. We live and breathe the brand, we are one team and we push through obstacles with a culture based on creativity, empathy and the will to win.

3

People first

Our team is the number one priority. We promote diversity and build an inclusive environment in every country where we operate, because the best experience comes from happy people.
