How it works

Two safe ways to buy your next car

Whether the car is still in Korea or already here in Ghana, SmartLink Auto keeps you protected at every step. Pick the track that fits the car you want, and you always know exactly what you pay and when.

Choose your track

Import from Korea, or buy safely in Ghana

Every listing tells you which one it is. Most cars ship direct from Korea to Tema Port; some are already on the ground in Ghana and sold through SmartLink escrow.

We source, inspect & ship it to you

  • ✓Browse hand-picked Korean cars, or request a specific one.
  • ✓Reserve it; we buy and inspect it in Korea and ship to Tema.

The whole process, step by step

From the car you like in Korea to the keys in your hand at Tema Port. You always know what to pay and when.

  1. 1

    Tell us you're interested

    Pick a car in the store (or send a request) and message us. We confirm the all-in price to Tema Port and the next steps.

  2. 2

    Request an inspection (GH₵1,000)

    Before you commit, we inspect the actual car in Korea and send you real videos and photos, so you see the exact car and its condition.

  3. 3

    Confirm the car

    Review the videos and photos and decide whether to go ahead. If it's not right for you, you're under no obligation to buy.

  4. 4

    Get your invoice

    Happy to proceed? We send you an invoice for the car.

  5. 5

    Reserve with a deposit (optional)

    If you want us to hold the car off the market while your bank payment is processing, pay a deposit to lock it.

  6. 6

    Pay, and get your refunds

    Pay by bank transfer, MTN Mobile Money or card. Once your full payment is confirmed, we refund your deposit and your inspection fee.

  7. 7

    Track your car

    Ask us for your tracking code and your car's loading photos, and follow the shipment from Korea to Tema Port.

  8. 8

    Pay your duty (BoE)

    When your Bill of Entry is due, we send it to you. Import duty and port charges are paid at the port and are separate from the car price.

  9. 9

    Container opening notice

    Once the container arrives and all duties are paid, we set the container opening date and send every client a notice and a port-day guide.

  10. 10

    Port day

    On the opening day, each client receives their car.
