Read on to find out everything you need to know about Autos1000.

What is Autos1000

Autos1000 (autos1000.com & autos1000.org) claims to be a worldwide directory for finding local autos and automotive services. According to the information on its About Us page, there are more than three million businesses listed on the site, spanning over 241 countries. This looks quite impressive, however it’s quite troubling that they are not popular yet. If indeed they’ve featured 3 million businesses, why isn’t the brand known?

Lets look at their metrics;

Who.is (a domain checker) shows that autos1000.com was registered on May 2022.

Semrush shows their Traffic analytics for 2024 is almost non-existent. The website only had an influx of visits the year it launched.

Certainly, the site is declining.

Meanwhile, emails from Autos1000 should be treated with caution. Don’t click on any link or attachment in it, as hackers may impersonate Autos1000 and send phishing email. This could lead to potential data leak, ransomware or even malware infestation.
