Car WatcherCar WatcherCar Watcher is a free car search alert tool for the UK. Set your exact spec once — make, model, trim, price, mileage — and get notified when matching cars are listed on AutoTrader, Motors, eBay, Gumtree, Carwow and every other marketplace that matters.
No fees. Alerts run around the clock.
How it works
Hunting for a car means re-running the same search on five websites, every day, for weeks. A Car Watcher alert does that loop for you — continuously.
Make, model, trim, budget, mileage, year, fuel, gearbox, body type, colour — as broad or as precise as you like.
Car Watcher checks the UK's major car sites around the clock — the same listings you'd find searching each one by hand.
Every match lands in one dashboard, with fresh finds and price drops flagged since your last visit. No tabs, no re-searching.
Why Car Watcher
A grey 4 Series Gran Coupe under 40k miles, or a Fiesta ST under £12,000 — alerts match the details, not just the keyword.
The best-priced cars sell in days. Your alert keeps checking while you're at work or asleep.
Already-listed cars that come down into your budget are flagged too — often the fastest route to a deal.
Every marketplace's results in one deduplicated view, so you compare cars instead of juggling tabs.
UK marketplaces, UK trims and model names, prices in pounds and mileage in miles.
Questions
A saved search that watches the market for you. You set the spec once and Car Watcher re-runs it continuously across the UK's car marketplaces, flagging any new listing or price drop that matches — so you stop refreshing search pages and never miss a freshly listed car.
AutoTrader, Motors.co.uk, eBay, Gumtree, Carwow, Cazoo, Heycar and PistonHeads, plus manufacturer approved-used programmes like BMW Approved Used and Land Rover Approved.
No. Creating an account and running search alerts is free.
Yes — that's the sweet spot. Searches can be as specific as a BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe M Sport in grey with under 40,000 miles, or as broad as "any electric SUV under £20,000".
A single marketplace can only alert you about its own listings. Car Watcher runs the same search across many marketplaces at once, so the Gumtree bargain or the Carwow price drop shows up alongside the AutoTrader results.
Set up your first car alert in under a minute and let Car Watcher do the searching.
