Refurbished vehicle marketplace with two Spanish reconditioning factories
Clicars operates a refurbished-car marketplace backed by two owned reconditioning facilities (Madrid, Valencia) with 30,000-unit annual capacity. The tech stack is lightweight (Payflow, Sage, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make) but the hiring mix—heavier in sales and manufacturing than engineering—reflects a logistics-and-sales-driven business rather than a tech-first one. Current project velocity targets lead quality, process automation, and AI pilots in the commercial org, suggesting internal friction around conversion efficiency and manual workflows that generative AI is being asked to solve.
Clicars is a Spanish auto-retail company founded in 2016 that sells mechanically reconditioned vehicles at up to 30% below new-car prices. The company operates two owned reconditioning factories (in Madrid and Valencia), a 600-person team, and physical sales points across six Spanish cities. Revenue crossed €5M in the first year and the company now ranks among Spain's top 1,000 by turnover. Alongside vehicle sales, the company offers financing, insurance, and a 250-point certification process. A 2017 capital partnership with Aramis Group (Europe's largest refurbished-car seller) provides operational backing. The organization emphasizes internal transparency, merit-based advancement, and continuous improvement.
