About Garaz.gr

What Garaz.gr is

Garaz.gr is a Greek marketplace for vehicles and parts. It covers cars, motorcycles and scooters, boats, commercial vehicles and agricultural machinery, along with parts and accessories — across the whole of Greece, searchable as a list, on a map, and by a radius in kilometres around a city.

It started from one observation: the tiring part of a classified ad is not the selling, it is the filling in. Make, model, trim, engine size, power, body type, gearbox, equipment, and a description that does not read like a telegram. Most sellers give up halfway and post three fields and one badly angled photo. Garaz.gr writes that first draft for you, from the photos, and leaves you the final word on every field.

• Free to list for private sellers, within the allowances described in the FAQ.
• The first draft of the ad is written by AI — you correct it and publish.
• Price assessment: where the asking price sits against comparable vehicles on the platform.
• A completeness score, so it is visible which ads were actually filled in and which were not.
• Map and radius search, because in Greece a prefecture does not tell you how far away the car is.
• Reels: a vertical scroll through listing photos, for anyone browsing before they know what they want.

Who operates it

Garaz.gr is an independent Greek project. The operator's corporate details are being finalised and will be published here and in the Terms as soon as that is done; until then we do not print a company name, VAT number or registration number that is not yet valid. For anything at all — legal, commercial or technical — write to [email protected] or use the contact form, and a person will answer.

We are not part of a group, a dealership, or another classifieds platform. We do not buy, sell, or broker vehicles: the platform introduces buyers and sellers to each other and stops there.

Garaz.gr is designed and built in Greece, for Greek data: Greek locations, Greek terminology in the specifications, prices in euro, and roadworthiness testing, road tax and transfer of ownership as they actually work here.

How listings get written

This is the part that makes us different, so it is worth stating plainly and without marketing.

1. 1You upload photosAt least 5 clear photos of the vehicle, and optionally one sentence with whatever you think matters — "one owner", "new tyres", "full dealer service history".
2. 2The AI reads the photosIt identifies make, model, body type, colour and visible equipment, and drafts a description in both Greek and English. What is not visible in the photos it does not guess: the field stays empty for you to fill in.
3. 3You check itEvery field and every sentence is editable before publishing. The ad never goes out on its own — it publishes only when you press publish.

ⓘAI makes mistakes, and its mistakes are convincing. That is why every ad has to pass your eyes before it publishes, and why the seller remains solely responsible for the accuracy of what it says. If you see something wrong in your ad or in someone else's, correct it or report it.

Where the listings come from

Listings on Garaz.gr arrive by two routes, and we do not hide which.

• From private sellers, who write their ad inside the platform with the AI's help.
• From professional dealers, either writing directly here or sending the XML export of their stock — the same file they already use on other platforms.

The second one means something worth knowing as a buyer: a dealer's ad may also exist elsewhere, with the same text the dealer wrote. We do not present it as exclusive to us and we do not alter the seller's description. What we add is the categorisation, the location on the map, the price assessment and the completeness check.

We do not copy listings from other websites without the seller's consent. Every stock import happens at the dealer's own request, and the dealer can stop it whenever they like.

What we check

A marketplace is worth exactly as much as its data. The rules we enforce are few and fixed:

• Every ad needs real photos of that specific vehicle — not manufacturer press shots, not photos taken from another ad.
• Number plates are masked automatically in every vehicle photo before publication.
• Ads with obviously wrong figures — mileage, year, price — are corrected or withdrawn.
• Duplicate ads for the same vehicle, bait ads and out-of-category ads are removed.
• Any visitor can report any ad, and every report is read.

We do not independently verify the condition, history or legal status of a vehicle, and we never present ourselves as if we did. Before buying, see the vehicle in person, check the paperwork and get an inspection — the buying guide sets out exactly what to ask for.

How we make money

We say this openly, because how a platform gets paid explains how it behaves.

• Private sellers list free, within the active-listing allowances in force at the time.
• Photo packs: the first 5 photos on any ad are free, and further photos are bought in packs of 5 for €10.
• Dealer subscriptions, with larger listing allowances, a shopfront page and XML stock import.
• Advertising: promoted placements sold directly, plus third-party ads served through advertising networks.

ⓘAdvertising placements are always labelled as advertising and are never quietly mixed into organic results. No payment — subscription, pack or advertisement — changes search ranking, the price assessment, or an ad's score.
