Meet the founder

Christopher Csizmár
Hi, I'm Chris. During my years working in the corporate and FinTech sectors in Hungary, I watched too many international colleagues get overwhelmed and taken advantage of when trying to buy a used car here. What started as informally helping friends inspect vehicles and decode the local bureaucracy quickly became a dedicated passion.
I combined my professional background in risk assessment with formal training as a Certified Automotive Mechatronics Technician and founded CarSherpa to build a service based on one core principle: protecting your investment.

Our Approach

Why CarSherpa Exists

Hungary's used car market is one of the most complex in Central Europe. Odometer fraud is common, accident histories are routinely concealed, and the entire buying process operates almost entirely in Hungarian leaving expats and international residents exposed.

CarSherpa exists to close that gap. We provide the technical expertise, local knowledge, and plain-English communication that international buyers need to make a safe, confident purchase independently of the seller.

Our customers

Who We Work With

Our clients are typically expats and international professionals relocating to Budapest, foreign nationals at multinationals or embassies, and English-speaking residents who've never felt confident navigating the Hungarian used car market alone.

If you found a car on Hasznaltauto.hu or through a Hungarian dealer and want an independent second opinion before committing — you're exactly who we built this for.

What our clients say

★★★★★

I’m really satisfied with the service. As a foreigner you need someone who knows every bit and tricks about the country and the car.

As a non-Hungarian speaker and a first-time car buyer here, the whole process felt really overwhelming at first. Luckily, I found Chris, and he made everything so much easier.

Nagyon elégedett voltam a szolgáltatással: két járművet tekintettünk meg és a szakértő mindkét használtautót nagyon alaposan és körültekintően átnézte kívül-belül, és tesztvezetésre is sor került, ami különösen hasznos volt a valós állapot felméréséhez.
