Our story

A Canadian family business since 2004.

We started Carpages to make car shopping in Canada easier and more trustworthy. Twenty-plus years later, we help dealers across the country sell more vehicles online.

How it started

Car buying was stuck in the past.

In the early 2000s, buying a car in Canada still meant newspaper classifieds, limited information and too much uncertainty. Our founding family saw what the internet could change, and in 2004 they launched Carpages.ca, one of the first dedicated online vehicle marketplaces in Canada.

From the start, the goal was a marketplace shoppers could trust. Every vehicle on Carpages.ca comes from a government-registered dealer or an identity-verified seller, and shoppers can ask questions and get answers straight from the source.

As dealers moved their business online, we grew with them: first with dealer websites, then certified OEM programs, digital advertising and the AI-powered inventory tools dealers use today.

Built in Canada, for Canadian dealers.

Being fully Canadian lets us put all our energy into results for Canadian dealers. We understand the market, from regional shopping habits to provincial regulations, in a way international competitors can't.
