Best Car Buying Platform (2026)

We’re proud to officially share that CarSpot has been named Best Dealership Car Buying Platform 2026 in the Irish Enterprise Awards 2026.

For us, this is a huge milestone.

CarSpot was built around a simple idea: buying a car from a dealership in Ireland should feel more modern, more trustworthy, and much easier than it often does today. From the beginning, our aim has been to create a better experience for both sides of the market — helping dealerships present their stock properly online while giving buyers a cleaner, safer, and more transparent place to browse cars.

What This Award Means to Us

Awards are nice, but what matters more is what they represent.

For CarSpot, this recognition reflects the work that has gone into building a platform specifically designed for the Irish dealership market. We know dealers have been stuck with platforms that can feel expensive, outdated, or not particularly responsive to their needs. We also know buyers want a better experience when searching for cars online — one that feels modern, credible, and easy to use.

This award gives us extra confidence that the direction we’re taking is the right one.

Built for Dealerships, Designed for Buyers

CarSpot is not trying to be just another generic listings site.

Our focus has been on creating a dealership-first platform that helps trusted motor dealers showcase their cars more effectively, while also making life easier for the people browsing them. That means cleaner presentation, simpler enquiries, better usability, and a stronger sense of trust throughout the process.

We believe the future of car buying in Ireland should be:

• more transparent
• more user-friendly
• more affordable for dealerships
• more trustworthy for buyers

That belief has shaped everything we’re building.

Thank You to the Dealers Backing CarSpot

We want to say a genuine thank you to the dealers who have supported CarSpot so far.

Early-stage platforms only improve when real businesses are willing to back them, test them, give honest feedback, and help shape the product. The support we’ve received from dealers has played a huge role in getting us to this point, and we’re extremely grateful for it.

We also want to thank everyone else who has supported the journey so far - partners, customers, friends, and everyone who has helped spread the word.
