carQ is a South African platform built for the people who sell cars — from single-vehicle private sellers to dealer groups running hundreds of units across multiple floors.
A flat monthly fee from R150 for a private seller to R850 for a 200-car floor — in Rand, no long-term contract, cancel any time. No per-listing charges: your hundredth car costs exactly what your first one did, so a big floor doesn't mean a big bill.
Built phone-first, not shrunk down from a desktop site. Your link opens instantly in a WhatsApp message, an SMS, a windscreen sticker or a forecourt banner — so a buyer standing on your lot after hours can browse your full stock, tap for directions and call you from the same screen.
Ask it "any diesel double cab under R300,000?" at eleven at night and it answers with your actual vehicles, prices and mileage — and if nothing matches it offers the closest thing on your floor instead of losing the buyer. Interested buyers come to you as a callback request with their name and number.
carq.co.za/your-name — yours alone for as long as you're subscribed, and short enough to say out loud on radio or print on a business card. Private sellers get a 5-digit number instead. Every name is checked against a brand-protection list, so nobody can trade off yours.
Already have a vehicle listed elsewhere? Paste the URL into Harvest and carQ pulls the listing in for you — title, description, price, year, mileage, transmission, fuel, body type, feature list and the main photo — filled in and ready to check before you publish. Add up to 15 photos per vehicle, attach a PDF brochure, and drag your listings into whatever order you want buyers to see them.
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.
Pick a plan, choose your name, and your showroom is live the same day.
