Clicars is a Spanish company that sells reconditioned cars. It was founded in 2016 and has been part of the Aramis Group, a subsidiary of Stellantis, since 2021. The company is among the 1,000 largest by revenue in Spain, with accumulated sales of more than €1.5 billion and over 85,000 cars sold.[1]
Clicars specialises in reconditioned vehicles, which are second-hand cars without structural damage or major faults that have been certified under strict quality standards. Each car undergoes a process of inspection covering more than 320 points, including electronic diagnostics and dynamic testing, before being refurbished mechanically and cosmetically.[2]
History
Clicars was founded by Pablo Fernández and Carlos Rivera in 2016.[3] The company was the first ecommerce platform dedicated to selling used cars in Spain. The company raised a €1 million seed round and generated more than €5 million in revenue in its first year.[4][5]
In 2018, Clicars relocated its headquarters to Villaverde, Madrid, where it established a 40,000-square-metre site that became the largest car reconditioning plant in Europe.[6][7] In 2025, the company opened a second reconditioning facility in Valencia, expanding its annual capacity to 30,000 vehicles.[8][9]
Following an initial strategic alliance with Aramisauto.com in 2017,[10][11] Clicars was acquired in 2021 by the Aramis Group.[12] At the time of the acquisition, José Carlos del Valle was appointed chief executive officer of Clicars in Spain.[13][14]
From 2023, the company began to expand nationally with the opening of physical sales points in Zaragoza, Valencia, Alicante, Córdoba and Málaga, in addition to its base in Madrid.[15] In 2024, Clicars launched its first “Clicars Point” in Alicante, an experiential retail format that combines online sales with personalised consulting and interactive showrooms.[16]
In 2025, Clicars introduced a new brand identity. The company promoted reconditioned cars as a “third category” of vehicle, positioned between new and used cars.[17][18]
