The route from
first search to first car

Three stops. You pay once, up front — then we work for you, not the dealer.

1

Tell us what you need

Budget, must-haves, and where you're based. Built around first-time buyer questions — insurance, options, and what's realistic for your budget.

2

We meet online, one-on-one

A real online conversation, not a form reply. We go through your options and what's realistic — then map out the way forward together before matching you with a dealership.

3

Buy with backup

We stay in your corner through the negotiation and paperwork, so you're never in the room alone.

Who you'll actually meet

Not a call centre.
A person.

When you sign up, you're not handed off to a queue. You meet your consultant online — the same person from your first call through to driving off — who works for you, start to finish.

About RoadMatch

Levelling the floor for first-time buyers

Buying your first car is a major milestone, but navigating dealership floors, hidden add-ons, and high-pressure sales tactics can quickly turn an exciting moment into an overwhelming ordeal.

RoadMatch was created to fix that imbalance. We act as your independent buyer concierge—we don't operate as traditional car salesmen, and we don't push sales targets. Instead, we represent your interest exclusively, guiding you through budget planning, vehicle sourcing, and final delivery with total transparency.

100% Independent

We charge a fixed, transparent fee to work directly for you—ensuring zero bias toward any dealership or brand.

Zero Guesswork

We restrict matches to new and demo vehicles so you never have to worry about hidden mechanical flaws or voided warranties.

Plain Language

We help you understand deposits, realistic budgets, vehicle features, and ownership costs in practical, everyday terms.

End-To-End Support

From your initial consultation until you get the keys in hand, you have a dedicated partner on your side.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does RoadMatch do? +
RoadMatch is an independent vehicle concierge service. We match buyers with accredited franchised dealerships, negotiate vehicle pricing on your behalf, and guide you step-by-step through the buying, finance, and paperwork process. We do not sell cars directly — we act as your personal buyer advocate.
Why do I pay an upfront R1,500 fee? +
The fee covers your personalized 1-on-1 online consultation, budget mapping, and dedicated vehicle sourcing. Because we are paid by you (not commissioned by a specific dealer), our advice remains completely unbiased.
Why new and demo vehicles only? +
First-time buyers are most vulnerable to hidden mechanical defects, altered service histories, and out-of-warranty repairs common in secondhand cars. New and demo cars come with full manufacturer warranties and predictable maintenance costs. We do not list or source used/second-hand vehicles.
Is finance approval guaranteed? +
No — vehicle finance approval is solely at the discretion of the bank or financial institution, based on your credit profile and affordability assessment. We assist in structuring your documents and submitting your application, but we can't guarantee approval.
Can I negotiate the price myself? +
You're welcome to share your exact budget and expectations with us, and we'll present that request across our dealer network on your behalf. That's the core benefit of the service — you avoid the pressure and back-and-forth of negotiating in person.
Are the example prices shown on this site final? +
No — the cars shown on this site are illustrative examples of typical starter vehicles, not a live catalog or fixed listings. We don't hold static inventory; once you sign up, we source real, current options and pricing directly from our dealer network based on your exact budget and preferences, and confirm everything with you before you commit to anything.
How does vehicle financing work with RoadMatch? +
We match you with verified dealership partners, and their dedicated finance specialists handle the entire loan application and bank submission process directly. We help you map out a realistic budget before you apply so you know what to expect.
Is the R1,500 fee refundable? +
No — the consultation fee is non-refundable once payment is confirmed and sourcing or consultation work has begun. It covers the time, sourcing work, and dedicated guidance we put in from the moment you sign up, regardless of whether you ultimately purchase a vehicle. See our Refund Policy for full details.
Is my personal information safe with RoadMatch? +
Yes. We comply with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Your documents and financial information are only shared with the specific dealerships and credit providers involved in your transaction, and never sold to third parties. See our full Privacy Policy.
How do I know RoadMatch is legitimate? +
RoadMatch is a registered trading division of Malingi Indlovu Group (Pty) Ltd. You're welcome to speak with our team directly via WhatsApp or a Google Meet consultation before making any commitment.
