Our story

Canada deserves a car auction of its own.

I started CAuto because of a simple question: why is there nothing like this in Canada?

Great online car auctions exist, but none of them were built for us. Canadian buyers and sellers have had to make do, borrowing marketplaces made for somewhere else, working around borders, and hoping the rules do not change halfway through a deal. I kept waiting for someone to build the Canadian answer. Nobody did. So I decided it should be me.

Built here, for people here

CAuto is made in Canada, for Canadian buyers and Canadian sellers. A place where a family in Halifax, a collector in Calgary and a first-time buyer in Winnipeg can all find a fair, open and exciting way to buy and sell cars. Every car is reviewed. Every bidder is checked. Every bid is in plain view.

Canada is strong by itself. Our buyers and sellers should never have to depend on tariffs or on someone else's market to get a fair deal.

Strong on our own, ambitious beyond

We believe in this country. Canadian cars, Canadian enthusiasts and Canadian businesses do not need to wait on anyone's trade policy to thrive. A strong home market is the foundation, and that is where CAuto starts.

But we are not building something small. We are here to compete across North America. When international buyers and sellers join CAuto, they are not outsiders. They are part of the community, and we will treat them as our own, with the same fairness, the same clarity and the same care.

Why it matters to me

Every great company begins with someone who sees a gap and refuses to look away. Buying or selling a car is one of the biggest decisions many people make, and it should feel exciting and trustworthy, not stressful or uncertain. That is what I am building: a place where the car, the price and the people are all out in the open.

It is a big goal, and we are only at the start. But big things in Canada have always started small, with people who believed this country could build its own. I do.

Come build it with us. Bid boldly. Sell proudly. Welcome to CAuto.
