Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 7,146 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the ease of use and straightforward process for creating advertisements, often highlighting the intuitive website and app design. Many people appreciate the security features, such as communication through the platform and dedicated contact numbers, which provide peace of mind during transactions. The service is often described as effective, with many vehicles selling quickly, sometimes within days or even hours, due to the large audience reach. However, some customers also noted difficulties with the website and app, including issues with photo uploads, editing existing ads, and navigating certain features. A few other people also felt that the pricing could be high, and some experienced a lack of interest in their listings, leading to longer selling times or no enquiries.

The site was easy to use - setting up the ad was not as difficult as I had envisaged; and it worked. After a couple of one message enquiries, we were contacted by a serious buyer, who wanted the car... See more

As a private seller

As a private seller, I am very happy with Autotrader. Listed the car, an interested person called, and arranged a time to view. Came to see the car and bought it there and then, no haggling or anything like other sites. Said they only saw it because of Autotrader, so it's definitely worth the price.
