ABOUT US

Expat Auto was founded by long-time residents, father and son, with a passion to bring a little light to the darkness in the used car industry by helping the community in Chiang Mai to navigate through the car buying and selling process, as well as the ongoing vehicle ownership needs. 

Starting with only 1 car in their front yard, it eventually grew, by God’s grace alone, to what it is today, and will continue along as long as He wills!

 

  • 2009 - Founded at our first location where the first car was bought and prepped at our house garage! Humble beginnings.

 

  • 2013 - We moved to our second location in the San Sai area where we were able to start growing the service side of our business.

 

  • 2018 - We moved to our current location which has provided much more space for us to grow in many departments.

Purpose:  The Expat Auto Family seeks to honor God by positively impacting the lives of our employees, customers, and community.

Our Niche: Providing convenience and peace of mind through superior quality vehicles and automotive services
