A word from the founders

A word from the founders

A word from the founders

When we set out to build the Bay Auto Fair, our goal was simple: create a space where the entire Bay Area could buy and sell cars with the same ease and sense of trust you feel at a weekend farmers’ market. Online listings can be stressful: sketchy meet‑ups, flaky messages, and endless back‑and‑forth. We wanted better. So we secured a lot, brought in round‑the‑clock security, and wrapped the whole experience in friendly staff, on‑site paperwork help, and good vibes. The result is a community marketplace where you can stroll the rows, meet real neighbors, and swap keys without worry or hidden fees. Thanks for joining us and helping turn a transaction into a neighborhood tradition.
