Europe's largest online marketplace for used engines
Our story
Founded in 2019 in Paris, Minautor digitalises and structures the used engine market through data and artificial intelligence.
Our mission: give professionals and individuals the fastest, most reliable and best-priced engine sourcing in Europe.
Minautor was born from a simple observation: the used engine market is one of the largest automotive markets in Europe, yet also one of the least organised. Sourcing lead times could stretch to several weeks, prices were opaque and parts quality rarely guaranteed.
In 2019, Omar Khadouri and his team of seasoned finance professionals applied capital-markets methodologies to the sector: pricing algorithms, real-time data analysis, audited supplier networks. From day one, the platform has consistently answered 90% of requested references at the fairest market price.
Our European footprint
Minautor now operates in 4 countries, with a multilingual after-sales team and partner suppliers across the continent.
