Dealer Partner Guide

Get More Buyers WalkingThrough Your Door

dbAuto — a vehicle marketplace operated by Tradeco Operations (Pty) Ltd. Connecting buyers directly to your dealership via WhatsApp.

What is dbAuto?

dbAuto (dbauto.co.za) is a vehicle marketplace operated by Tradeco Operations (Pty) Ltd. It connects buyers directly to your dealership via WhatsApp. Buyers find your listings through Google search and direct traffic.

Why dbAuto Buyers Are Different

Buyers find your cars through Google SEO and direct search — real people actively looking for vehicles. Many are serious, finance-ready buyers. They're not window shoppers — they're ready to buy.

SEO-Driven Leads

Buyers find you through Google — real purchase intent, not random browsing

Secure Document Vault

AES-256 encrypted — buyers can safely share documents

Buyer Readiness Score

Gold, Silver, or Bronze rated — so you know who's serious

They've done the homework. You just close the deal.

How It Works for You

1

We list your stock

Your cars appear on dbauto.co.za with photos, specs, and pricing.

2

Buyers browse and enquire

When a buyer is interested, they fill in their name, phone and email.

3

You get a WhatsApp notification instantly

The buyer's details land on your phone, ready for you to close the deal.

4

Manage everything from your Dealer Portal

View all your leads, update listings, add photos, change prices — all in one place.

Listing Pricing (30 Days Per Car)

R140
Standard Listing

Dealer or private seller — SEO page + WhatsApp leads for 30 days

Recommended
R240
Premium Listing

Everything above PLUS your dealership name watermarked on the photos — your brand travels with the car everywhere it's shared

R300
Featured Listing

Your car shows FIRST on every page — maximum visibility

Why the R240 Premium Matters

When your dealership name is ON the photo, buyers can't screenshot your car and take it to a competitor. Your brand is locked to the listing. Smart dealers protect their stock.

How You Earn

There are two separate income streams — one from dbAuto listings, and one from the DebtBridge referral programme. They work independently.

dbAuto Rep Commission

5%

Reps earn 5% of listing fees from dealerships they refer to dbAuto. Paid daily at 08:00 SAST.

  • • R140 listing → rep earns R7
  • • R240 listing → rep earns R12
  • • R300 listing → rep earns R15

Example: 10 dealers × 20 cars × R140 = R28,000 in listings → rep earns R1,400/month

DebtBridge Referral Programme

15%

Separately, when you partner with DebtBridge, you earn 15% of all DebtBridge income generated through your network. This is a completely separate programme from dbAuto.

Income is not guaranteed — it depends on clients freely choosing to use DebtBridge services.

What Does It Cost to Register?

Nothing. Registration is 100% free.

You only pay when you list cars on dbAuto.
