Describe your perfect car

The clearer you are about what you need, the better your search goes. Choose what the car is for, who rides in it, your budget and your must-haves, and we turn it into a short brief you can text to Uobo, which finds real cars for you.

Uobo is your personal car agent. Text it what you need and it does the research and the checks, asks dealerships about availability, condition and price for you, and helps you decide. This is the text you would send:

How it works

Pick the options that fit and skip the rest. As you go, the text at the bottom updates to show exactly what would be sent. You can read it here, and change it in your messages app before you send.

The most useful things for a search are what the car is for, your budget and where you are, so those come first. Details such as colours to avoid and must-have features follow. If the text gets too long, the least important parts are dropped first.

Uobo is your personal car agent, and you reach it by text. It builds a profile of what you need, searches real listings, remembers what matters to you and explains the trade-offs. Leave out anything you are unsure about and it will ask.

What this does not cover

  • You choose what to share. Nothing goes to Uobo until you send the text yourself.
  • Your postal code is optional. Uobo needs a full Canadian postal code to search near you, and will ask if you leave it out.
  • The brief describes your needs. It does not promise any particular car or price.

Common questions

What should I tell a car search tool?

What the car is for, who rides in it, your monthly or total budget, where you live, any must-have features and anything you want to avoid. That is enough to start a good search.

Do I need to know the make and model I want?

No. Describing how you will use the car works better than naming a model, because it lets the search consider options you may not have thought of.

Is my information shared?

Nothing is sent from this page. The brief is only used if you tap the button to text it. You can edit it first, and you do not have to include your postal code.

What is Uobo?
