Who we work with
The sellers
Expatriates, diplomats, NGO employees and multinational corporate executives stationed in Kenya who need a fast, fair-market and secure exit for their vehicles before relocation.
The buyers
Local business executives, independent professionals and fleet managers looking for vehicles that have bypassed harsh local driving cycles and carry documented service histories.
What makes us different
Verified mileage and maintained history
Unlike mass-imported units with unverified origins, our cars carry authentic service histories tracking single-expatriate or diplomatic use.
A diverse, culturally aware team
Our people have deep international trade experience and work comfortably across Nairobi's diverse expatriate communities.
No corporate fluff
We replace vague "quality guarantees" with open diagnostic gates and a viable report, so transparency is structural rather than promised.
Reviews
I arrived on a Sunday and drove myself to the office on Wednesday i found the car prepaired as agreed with the EGL ExpatAuto.
I bought a car with EGL and the process was seamless. The vehicle has never desappointed ever since.
The report listed two faults the seller had not mentioned. EGL priced them, the reason i trusted the rest of the paperwork.
I have so far aquired two Suv with Egl and i managed to resell them cormofatably.
I am enjoying my 4WD new catch, thank you EGL.
Recommending EGL units for any local motor retailer.
