AYA Automotive is a family-run used car dealer based in Gilles Plains, in Adelaide's north, and we sell to buyers from all over the city. We're not a big-volume lot — we're a smaller operation that puts time into each car and each customer, and we've grown on the back of repeat business and word of mouth rather than advertising spend. If you're looking for a used car dealer in Adelaide you can actually talk to, that's what we are.
The yard and the suburbs around it
Our forecourt is on Wandana Avenue in Gilles Plains, which puts us close to Grand Junction Road and the O-Bahn, so the drive in from most parts of Adelaide is straightforward. We're a genuinely local option for buyers in the immediate area — if you're in Gilles Plains itself, we're on your doorstep; if you're in Hillcrest you're about two kilometres away; and Windsor Gardens is only three kilometres down the road. For buyers further out — Salisbury, Modbury, the western suburbs, the city — it's still an easy trip, and most people combine a visit with something else they're doing in the area.
What we sell
The stock is built around what Adelaide drivers actually buy. Affordable first cars that are cheap to run and insure. Family SUVs and seven-seaters for households that have outgrown a small car. Utes and work wagons for tradies. Commuter hatchbacks. And low-kilometre, near-new vehicles for buyers who want more life left in the car. Everything on the forecourt is inspected before it goes up for sale, comes with warranty coverage, and can be financed through our lender panel on the same day.
How we work
We take trade-ins and value them on the spot. We can arrange finance while you wait, including for buyers who've had trouble getting approved elsewhere. We're RAA certified, and we've got 80+ five-star reviews from real Adelaide customers. Most of all, we're a local business — we rely on people coming back for their next car and telling their friends, so getting it right matters to us.
