We’re Carwow. The car-changing experts for life-changing moments.

We get it. Changing your car’s a big deal, and it usually comes at a pretty big junction in your life. So whether you’re buying, selling, or (car) window shopping, we’ll give you total confidence in your choice.

You won’t find biassed reviews or shady interests here. Just honest opinions, clear prices, and a network of trusted dealers. No haggling. No stress. No costs. Just cruising. 

That’s great news for dealers, too. With access to over 3 million customers, we help our dealer partners fill forecourts, lower costs, and sell more than ever before. 

But what does Carwow look like under the hood?

We’re a dedicated team of over 350 experts across the UK, Germany, Spain and Portugal. But we’re not all petrol heads (well, maybe Mat is). We're curious, humble, and empowered individuals relentlessly driven and passionate about creating the best car buying experience, and a fantastic place to work.

Wednesday saw the Carwow Carnival come to town! 🎠🎪

It was games galore, with everything from coconut shire to hook the duck testing our skills, and more importantly showing who’s the most competitive. 👀 🏆  

All topped off by watching the football together… carwow.es on Sunday, for one day only, we’re not friends. 🫣

🚗💼 Why must dealers adopt an omnichannel approach to sourcing stock? 

That’s the question discussed in our recent webinar in partnership with Cox Automotive Inc.

We were delighted to be joined by expert panellists Peter Smyth, Alex Jones, Ben Archer, Philip Nothard and Sally Foote to explore the biggest trends impacting the evolving landscape of dealer stock acquisition.

It’s now available to watch on demand (link in the comments). Check out the key takeaways…

🔍 *Consumer behaviour:* consumers are spending more time researching their car-change online, driving increasing volumes to sell their car through online channels. 

🧑‍💻 *Blending channels:* dealers must adopt both online and offline channels to source stock due to shifting consumer behaviour.

📈 *Dealer adaptations:* dealers are increasingly buying fresh stock online. At Carwow, we’re enhancing the online experience with initiatives like document collection and transport services to remove the faff for dealers.

📊 *Data-driven decisions:* data is crucial for sourcing decisions. Our expert dealer panellists rely heavily on data to ensure they source the right stock from the right sources for their markets.

🔮 *Future focus:* AI will streamline operations and boost profitability. Carwow is committed to improving every aspect of the car buying journey through technological advancements. So watch this space ;)
