It receives about 45,000 listings a month and 600,000 people take the numbers of car sellers from the website every month.
Started in 2003 as a basement project by a group of petrol-heads to gather all the automotive enthusiasts in Pakistan and discuss the happenings in the automotive industry of Pakistan. PakWheels is the largest community-based automobile website in Pakistan with over 250,000 registered members.
PakWheels.com (PakWheels) was founded by Hanif Bhatti on July 18, 2003 with a group of friends with a vision to provide a platform to the automotive enthusiasts of Pakistan. At that time, there were many enthusiasts in Pakistan, but there was not a single platform online for them to gather and discuss the automotive culture in Pakistan.
The main purpose of PakWheels is to provide its users with a platform to buy and sell used vehicles online. Apart from serving this main purpose, the discussion forum on PakWheels allows users to discuss available brands of automobiles in Pakistan, the problems associated with their automobiles, their DIY projects related to cars, recommendations and suggestions. The website also runs a blog referred to as PakWheels Blog whose primary objective is to keep its readers in Pakistan up to date with the latest automobile news coming in from both local and international automakers. PakWheels Blog coverage extends to new local car launches with exclusive insights and analysis. In addition to news, it comes up with car comparisons, buying guides, repairing guides, and car reviews tailored to the auto industry of Pakistan.
PakWheels also organizes annual PakWheels Auto Shows in Karachi,Lahore and Islamabad, the three major cities of Pakistan. The shows focus on gathering automotive enthusiasts from all around the city to a single central point where they can showcase their cars and discuss them in real life.
