Auto Genie – Transforming used car buying in South Africa with data-driven insights

For over two decades, Autobid has been at the forefront of digital innovation within South Africa’s auto franchise dealer space.
Through continuous learning and evolution, we are now proud to introduce our latest breakthrough—Auto Genie – Your Guide, Your Genie, Your Insight.
Auto Genie is a business-to-business platform designed to make used car buying and selling more transparent, efficient, and reduces risk for all used car dealers, banks, and insurance companies.
The Challenge: A Lack of Centralized Vehicle Information
Unlike other countries with centralized vehicle history databases, South Africa lacks a single repository where auto professionals can input a VIN number to retrieve critical vehicle information.
This information gap exposes the industry to fraud, misinformation, salvage vehicles, and costly mistakes.
The Solution: Auto Genie
Auto Genie is the game-changing platform that South Africa’s auto industry has been waiting for.
Built with ease, transparency, and affordability in mind, Auto Genie brings critical vehicle checks to market that are:
- Mobile-friendly – No app downloads required.
- Hassle-free – No contracts needed.
- Affordable – Pay only when you receive results.
With Auto Genie, users can confidently access key vehicle data, eliminating guesswork and reducing risk.
