Built on two decades of automobile trust

The story behind Kodagu Auto Trader, and why a native, hands-on approach beats an anonymous marketplace.

Our Story

From the automobile floor to a native trading desk

Kodagu Auto Trader was founded by Thimmaiah P M, whose journey in the automobile industry spans over 20 years — including time with established names like Toyota and Audi. That grounding in dealership discipline, customer service and vehicle quality shaped a simple belief: used car deals shouldn't feel like a gamble.

Kodagu Auto Trader was built to bring that discipline directly to buyers and sellers in Bengaluru, without the layers of a large marketplace in between. It's a native operation in the truest sense — one expert, one phone number, one person accountable for the outcome.
