What Carpages does

Carpages.ca is a Canadian online automotive marketplace operating as a division of Autopath Technologies Inc. The platform connects individual vehicle buyers with automotive dealers across nine Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick), listing 69,090+ new and used vehicles searchable by make, model, price, mileage, body style, and geographic location. Buyers access the platform free of charge via the web at carpages.ca or through native iOS and Android mobile apps.

The product portfolio centers on the core marketplace search experience and is layered with adjacent services. The Buy From Home program, launched in 2026 across seven provinces, extends the platform into transaction execution with E-sign documents, local delivery, test drive delivery, and exchange policies. Dealer-side monetization includes dealer websites, DealerEdge digital marketing services, and AutoIntelligence™ analytics tools sold through a separate dealer portal. Financing is delivered through an integration with Shifter.ca, and consumer-facing content (Car Reviews, Used Car Buying Guide) supports organic SEO acquisition across 50+ city-specific landing pages.

The business model is an ad-supported and subscription-based marketplace: dealers pay listing and advertising fees, and a subset pay for the bundled dealer solutions suite, while consumers transact free of charge. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, 11–50 employees, and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario. Founded in 2003 by Ben Mirecki and operating continuously since, Carpages.ca has not expanded outside Canada and discloses no AI/ML capabilities or proprietary technology beyond its standard marketplace stack.
