We have switched from Autostand to RD Autos.
We have been using RD Autos Single dealer for just over a year, what a pleasure!
I give Robert from RD Autos 11 Stars for support! We also purchased the RD Autos Pro version what a pleasure!
If you are stuck, send a mail and he gets back to you within a very acceptable time-frame. Always!
Of all the Components tested this far for Autos, this is worth every penny.

Yess, I used this component and I have been very useful and effective. :) Thanks
This is the perfect component to create a professional look of presenting cars to the audience. After the installation everything works smooth.
The service is above expectation. Questions are answered within an hour
So from my point of view no further search is needed when a car presentation is needed in you site.

After researching the availability of a component that would allow my client to be able to manage his inventory of cars for his car sales on his website easily, I chose RD Autos Single Dealer hoping that it would be straightforward to customise the views to match my clients template.
Installation is very simple and easy.
I'm not a PHP expert but found the code easy to read and easy to customise, and the same for the CSS. I was easily able to extend it to automatically post a Sold graphic into vehicle listings that were marked as Unavailable. I did have some minor issues and questions which were answered very quickly by Robert.
I can thoroughly recommend this extension, it's worth every penny. If you're considering using it, the only very small criticism I have (which Robert is aware of) is that the makes and models database is really essential to purchase alongside the component, as although there is the ability to add makes and models of vehicles, it requires you to enter a different part of the admin interface to do so before you can list a vehicle of that make and type.

RD-Auto fit every need I was looking for in an extension for a small car lot. It is laid out simple enough for my client to understand how to manage inventory themselves, yet has all the customizations to fit their specific needs. I needed to make one customization that was not available in the extension and Robert was quick to reply to email with full explanation on what I needed to change in the PHP code to accomplish my goal. Excellent product for the price compared to other similar Joomla extensions!
I have purchased many components and modules over the years for Joomla and have never had such great support as I have received from Robert. Any issues I have had have been dealt with promptly and professionally. Thank you for this great component.

I have had some good and as well as some bad experiences with commercial Joomla! extensions in the past, and definitely RD-Autos PRO has been my best experience so far. Smooth installation with no issues, great features, easy to customize and everything works very like a charm out of the box. But what really deserves a perfect score is the excellent support of the developer, Robert Dam. We have had direct contact by email and received almost immediate response to my queries with satisfactory answers, frankly I've never experienced such an outstanding support with any another commercial extension . Robert, thank you very much and I know that new and better features will come with each new release of your fine software.
The fist component I have ever paid for, and I didn't regret it. There are still some (minor) things available for improvement, but over all no complaints here. The developer even takes suggestions for future releases and is very helpful when in need of assistance.
Certainly recommended!

This is the first extension I have paid money for, and I am not disappointed!
It has got lots of great features, is fairly easy to use and the support is great, emails are always answered within 24 hours.
For the price this is a real gem.

This is a great component for car-companies. For an administrator it is very easy to install and setup. The support is great, better said: excellent. There is a supportforum, the maker of RD-Auto replies to email very quick and professional. Of course there are some minor things (I don't want call them bugs) but the component is always in development to make it even better than it is already. The backend for adding or editing vehicles and stuff is great, even an unskilled joomla personen can work with it! For me this is the best component for the carbusiness and the price is very low for what you get! Great value for money.
Firstly i was surprised about component. Lot of features good for the dutch car market. But after half past one year, i have still some problems. The support is bad. The maker(s) doesn't answer emails and the replys on their supportforum has never fixed the problems.
I'm very disappointed. When the maker(s) still fix the little problems and should be more active at the supportforum it could be a very succesfull component.

Hi, as we can't see your name here it's hard to respond. But I never saw any emails with this name coming along.
If you do have problems, we allways try to answer those within 24h. If you still have problems, just send me an email.
Worth every penny. This guy Robert from rd-media amazed me. Answers to emails even weekends! I asked him 2 months ago to add PDF uploading and within 10 days he added a lot off extra features on top of pdf uploading. I am sure that if something goes wrong, somebody will take care of it PROFESSIONALLY!!!
Thanks RD-MEDIA

I have been looking to design a car dealer website and decided to use Joomla as my customer will want to update and add cars themselves. I did some research and decided to purchase the Single Dealer with makes/models database. I have only just started out with Joomla and managed to get this package working in less than an evening. A couple of very minor issues which were resolved within 24 hours by the support team. I also required extra fuel types and this is already being added to the next release to be issued in less than a week from request. So, my experience from purchase, support and requirement of extra features has been top class. Cannot fault the product at all. It works so easily and looks very professional. Thank you RDAutos.
Hi
There have been repeated requests on the forum for a DEMO, for both the free and commercial versions? Do you expect people to pay for the product without seeing it?
Also there are posts on your forums that have not been answered for months. Everyone is busy but that is ridiculous.

We have now combined the PRO and Single Dealer website to provide you a better support. Also a new bugtracker, as you can see all posts are answered now.
There is a demo: http://rd-demo.com/mini-pro
