This isn’t just a relaunch, it’s a bold new chapter for South Africa’s largest automotive marketplace, designed to make every step of your journey smoother, smarter, and more exciting.
Let’s take a look at what you can expect on the new and improved Auto Mart…
What’s New…
AI-Powered Search
Our powerful AI-powered search makes it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for, quickly and accurately. Whether you’re browsing or listing, this smart technology helps connect the right buyers with the right items, creating a smoother and faster experience for everyone.
Improved Matching
With our upgraded matching technology and semantic search, the right items will connect with the right people more accurately than ever before. By understanding the true intent behind every search, this advanced system delivers highly relevant, tailored results. This makes it easier for buyers to find what they need and for sellers to reach the most interested buyers.
Predictive Search
This one links up with improved matching as well as AI-powered search in a few great ways. If you have a general idea of what you’re looking for, go to the search bar on Auto Mart and start typing. As you type, the search bar will start giving you search suggestions in line with what you’ve started typing. When you see the title of what you’re looking for, select it to view for more information.
Multiple Select
If you have a general idea of what you’re looking for and want to see what’s available, you can now make use of multiple select. For example, let’s say you’re looking for an SUV but haven’t settled on a specific make. You can now go through the list of makes available and select the ones you want to see. Your search results will now filter to show you only the makes you chose. Quite helpful, right?
Recently Viewed
Another addition we’re excited about is search history. Did you see an item you are interested in and lost track of it as you browsed? No problem! Visit the Auto Mart homepage, scroll down until you see the ‘Recently Viewed’ button, and find your item there. It’s a convenient way to keep track of your search history and will make finding previously viewed items that much easier.
Spares and Parts
After countless requests from our loyal community, we’re thrilled to announce that spares and parts are now officially a part of the Auto Mart offering! You will now find a wide range of vehicle spares and parts directly on our website! Having them on Auto Mart makes total sense since they are an essential part in keeping your ride in top condition. This is just one more way we’re bringing you a truly all-in-one automotive marketplace.
Accessories
Another exciting addition to our website is automotive accessories! Whether it’s a practical upgrade, a touch of flair, or a custom add-on, Auto Mart makes it easier than ever to personalise, protect, and enhance a wide range of automotive items. Whether you’re buying or selling, you’ll now find a wide selection of accessories right here on Auto Mart, your go-to destination for all things automotive.
Light Commercial Vehicles
Another new category we’re excited about is the one that will list light commercial vehicles as for sale. Here’s what you can expect to find on Auto Mart when you visit this category:
- Chassis Cabs
- Single Cab Tipper Trucks
- Single Cab Dropside Trucks
- Minibuses
- Panel Vans
Leisure
A fun addition you can look forward to is the leisure category. You will now find all kinds of leisure-related items on Auto Mart! South African summers are best spent outside, and Auto Mart will help you find the ideal leisure vehicles to make it even more enjoyable. Looking for a caravan? We’ve got you covered. Interested in buying your first boat? No problem! We have plenty of options for you to browse through.
Bakkies
Sure, we’ve always listed bakkies on Auto Mart, but since South African’s love a bakkie as much as a braai, we decided to dedicate a whole section to it. You can check out the bakkies listed on our website by clicking/tapping here.
The Same But Better
With all of the new additions to Auto Mart, you can expect to experience the same great offerings in a whole new and exciting way. With AI-assisted search, multiple select, and improved matching, finding what you’re looking for or connecting with interested buyers has now become the easiest part of your day.
Let’s take a look at how we’ve updated a few of our favourites.
Cars
Our car listings are still as great as has come to be expected from Auto Mart, but we wanted to do even better. With this in mind, we’ve added a few extra ways for you to refine your search to find your perfect ride. You can now narrow down your search results with the help of the following additional search options:
- Model variant
- Monthly price
- Suburb
- Seller
Bikes
Looking for a bike instead of a car? Whether it’s for work or recreation, there are plenty of bikes on our marketplace that will get you to where you need to be. Here’s what we’ve added to make the search for a bike easier:
- Body shape
- Sub category
- Monthly price
- Suburb
- Seller
Find a Dealer
Another feature that got an upgrade is our Find a Dealer page. If you prefer to work directly with a verified dealer, you can start your search there. Refine your search to narrow down dealers in your area who are selling what you’re looking for by using search categories like location, franchise, and item type.
Wishlist
Who doesn’t love a wishlist filled with both your dream items and the ones that are more realistic when it comes to your budget? We’ve given our wishlist a totally new look and feel, and you can now view all your liked items in one place. Convenient, right?
Another great upgrade to the wishlist is the option to contact the private seller or dealer without having to leave your wishlist. Simply select ‘Contact Sellers’, select the seller/s you want to reach out to, and that’s it. They will contact you with more information as soon as they are able to.
New Car Specials
On the new car specials page, we’ve made it easier for you to see the unit price, the price the item is listed for on our website, as well as what you will save should you choose the special. As always, there will be a valid date to show you how much time you have to get more information and consider the offer.
Get Insurance and Get Finance
Both these pages will offer you the same great services and now come with additional information and frequently asked questions to help you be more informed as you go about purchasing your items.
The road ahead is looking smoother than ever with the all-new Auto Mart Marketplace. As South Africa’s biggest automotive marketplace with the most industry-related content, powered by AI technology, and backed by decades of experience, we’re proud to bring you a platform that truly has it all.
