Founded in 2005, Autoquake was a pioneering online used car retailer in the UK. The company's business model focused on acquiring high-quality, ex-lease and ex-fleet vehicles and selling them to the public via its website, bypassing traditional dealerships. It utilized a transparent online auction system, providing detailed vehicle descriptions and history reports. Despite raising significant venture capital and experiencing rapid growth, the company faced financial difficulties and went into administration in March 2011, ceasing its operations. Its brand name and web assets were subsequently acquired by ADT Automotive (now part of ACV Auctions).
