AutoExport product offering
Product offeringCore offering
AutoExport purchases used vehicles from Swiss sellers (private individuals, fleet operators, and corporate clients) in any condition—including accident damage, engine or transmission failure, high mileage, missing MFK inspection, or no registration—and exports them to a network of international buyers in more than 30 countries. Sellers receive a free 30-minute valuation via WhatsApp or website form, free Switzerland-wide pickup, and immediate cash payment at vehicle handover. The spread between the Swiss purchase price and the higher international resale price (reportedly 15–30% above local market for diesel vehicles, SUVs, and premium automobiles) drives the business.
Product overview
AutoExport operates as a vehicle export and purchasing platform, combining a web-based service platform with extensive offline operational capabilities. The core offering centers on two integrated services: Auto Export Schweiz (vehicle export from Switzerland to international markets) and Auto verkaufen Schweiz (vehicle purchasing across Switzerland). The platform offers condition-specific purchase modules including Unfallwagen Ankauf, Motorschaden Ankauf, and Getriebeschaden Ankauf for damaged vehicles, alongside Gebrauchtwagen Ankauf and Luxusauto Ankauf for standard and premium vehicles. Regional and brand-specific modules (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, VW) extend the offering, while auxiliary services like free Auto Bewertung (valuation) and Auto Abholung Service (pickup) support the core transaction flow. The entire portfolio is accessible via WhatsApp and online forms, with free pickup and immediate payment as key differentiators.

AutoExport competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- AUTO1 Group: Berlin-headquartered platform that buys used vehicles across Europe and resells them cross-border via its AUTO1.com wholesale channel and Autohero retail brand. Most direct comparable for cross-border used-vehicle trading and the same Swiss-relevant European footprint.
- Autohero: European online used-car retailer (AUTO1 subsidiary) that purchases vehicles directly from consumers across multiple EU markets and resells cross-border. Highly comparable on the 'buy-any-condition-online-then-resell' playbook.
- BCA Marketplace: Pan-European vehicle remarketing and auction operator handling fleet, leasing, and dealer disposals across multiple countries. Closely comparable on cross-border vehicle resale at scale and on fleet-disposal customer base.
- Aramisauto: France-based online used-car retailer (Renault Group) that buys vehicles directly from private sellers and resells through digital channels. Comparable on direct-to-consumer vehicle acquisition and digital-first resale model.
Broad incumbents
- Copart: Global leader in online salvage and used-vehicle auctions, including total-loss, accident, and fleet vehicles across 30+ countries. Overlaps heavily with AutoExport's damaged-vehicle and international-buyer model, though at much larger scale.
- Manheim (Cox Automotive): World's largest wholesale vehicle auction operator (Cox Automotive). Comparable on fleet/lease remarketing and dealer-to-dealer wholesale of used vehicles at scale.
BROAD_INCINCUMBENT".replace("INCINCUMBENTs
- IAA (Insurance Auto Auctions / IAAI):
Regional players
- AMAG Group: Switzerland's largest automotive retail and import group (Volkswagen importer). Comparable as a Swiss-based vehicle retailer that buys used cars, though primarily through franchised dealer channels rather than export.
- Emil Frey Group: Major Swiss automotive dealer group operating multiple brands. Comparable as a domestic used-car acquisition competitor operating within Switzerland, though focused on retail trade-ins rather than export.
Others
- AutoScout24: Leading Swiss/European online vehicle marketplace. Not a direct buyer but a listing and review platform partner to AutoExport; indirectly comparable as the primary channel where Swiss consumers discover used-car buyers.
