About

Based in Mutare, not a call centre

BF Mutare is based in Mutare and operates right around Zimbabwe. You tell us the model, the budget and the timeline — we source it, and we handle everything between the auction floor and your driveway.

The short version

We have been importing and delivering vehicles for years before this website existed. The photographs on this site are a fraction of the cars that have gone through our hands.

The office is in Mutare, but the work is not. Cars go out to owners right around Zimbabwe, and we source them from wherever the right vehicle at the right price happens to be.

We photograph our own vehicles. Every image here is a real car on a real Mutare street on its way to a real owner — which is also why some of them have dust on the paint.

BF Mutare is part of Pineberry Holdings.

What we do

Everything between the auction and your driveway

Importing a vehicle privately means dealing with a shipping agent, a clearing agent and ZIMRA yourself. This is the list of what we take off you.

  1. Free inquiries

    Have questions? Ask them before you commit to anything. There is no charge and no obligation to buy.

  2. Free quotations

    Tell us the vehicle you want and we price it up in full — no obligation, no fee for the quote.

  3. Vehicle sourcing

    We help you find the right car, matched to your preferences and your budget, from a wide selection of overseas stock.

  4. Flexible payment plans

    Spread the cost over up to 24 months, on terms set around what you can actually pay each month.

  5. Invoice issuance and payment processing

    Proper invoices and a payment process you can follow, so every stage of the transaction is on paper.

  6. Vehicle clearing

    We handle the customs side of bringing the vehicle in, which is the part that catches most private importers out.

  7. Rebate facilitation

    If your import qualifies for a duty rebate, we take you through claiming it rather than leaving you to it.

  8. Home and port delivery

    Collect at the port if you would rather, or have the vehicle brought to your door. Your choice, not ours.

  9. Nationwide delivery

    Anywhere in Zimbabwe. Mutare is where we are based, not the limit of where we operate.

What we are working towards

  1. Make the paperwork the easy part

    Duty, clearance and registration are where most import stories go wrong. We want a customer to never once have to chase a document themselves.

  2. Put a car within reach of more people

    Spreading payment over twenty-four months is the start of that, not the end of it. The aim is that owning a decent vehicle is a plan, not a windfall.

  3. Keep the whole chain visible

    From the auction sheet to the plate on the bumper, a customer should be able to see where their car is and what stage it is at.

  4. Grow without dropping the standard

    More vehicles a month means nothing if handovers start slipping. We would rather move steadily and keep the reputation the business was built on.

02The visit

Our suppliers came to see us

One of our supplier teams travelled from Japan to Mutare to meet the people they had been shipping to, walk the operation, and see where the vehicles end up.

Buying a car from overseas asks you to trust a chain you cannot see. This is part of that chain, standing in our office.
