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.
Do you have direct contact with your customers?
On a classified portal, you don't. The lead goes to them, and they sell it back to you. On carQ the buyer lands on your page and contacts you — by phone, WhatsApp, or a callback request with their name and number in your inbox.
What happens to your listings when you stop paying a portal?
They vanish. Here, one flat monthly fee covers your whole floor — no per-listing charges, no commission, no contract. Your hundredth car costs what your first one did.
Where are your buyers actually looking?
On their phones, often standing on your forecourt after hours. Your carQ link opens instantly from a WhatsApp message, an SMS, a windscreen sticker or a banner — full stock, photos, prices, directions, one tap to call.
Who answers at 11pm?
Your AI assistant does — and it knows your actual stock. "Any diesel double cab under R300,000?" gets real vehicles and real prices, not a contact form. No exact match? It offers the closest thing on your floor instead of losing the buyer.
Is your name working for you, or for someone else?
carq.co.za/your-name is yours alone — short enough for radio, a business card, the side of a bakkie. Private sellers get a 5-digit number instead. And every buyer on our front page can search across all dealers in plain English, putting your stock in front of people who never went looking for you.
Pick a plan, choose your name, and your showroom is live the same day.
