AutoHands
Digital platform for used car trading and services
About AutoHands
AutoHands is a South Korean mobility service company that operates a digital platform focused on increasing the value and trust in the used car market. The company was founded in August 2013 and is led by co-CEOs Kang Gwi-ho and Kim Sung-jun.
The firm provides a comprehensive range of services covering the entire car lifecycle. This includes an online used car auction system called Autoinside, a new car quotation system, extended warranty services, and vehicle maintenance services. AutoHands also offers a "sell my car" service, residual value protection programs, and self-accident compensation services for long-term rental cars for major partners like Hyundai Capital and Meritz Capital. In 2023, the company expanded its value chain by acquiring ALLCAR Communication, a new car direct sales platform company that operates 'Modudealer'. This acquisition allows AutoHands to strengthen its mobility services by adding new car leasing, renting, and sales to its portfolio.
The company's business model is centered on its digital platforms, which facilitate transparent and reliable transactions for used vehicles. It partners with major corporations such as Hyundai, Kia, Renault Korea, Shinhan Card, and Coupang. As of 2023, the company reported sales of 111.72 billion KRW and has been recognized as a Youth-Friendly Strong Small Business for seven consecutive years.
