Back in 2021, a frustrated Indonesian driver named Rudi found himself stuck in traffic, scrolling through yet another press release about a luxury car launch that didn’t mention fuel efficiency or local service costs. Frustrated by the gap between glossy ads and real-world driving needs, he started Daily Automotive — not as a business plan, but as a way to share the kind of info he wished he’d had when buying his first car. What began as a side project quickly grew into a community hub for drivers who wanted honest takes, local insights, and updates that mattered to them, not just to manufacturers.

Our stories come from dealer floors, test drives, and conversations with mechanics, not from press release desks. That means you’ll find real talk about maintenance costs, local reviews of cars that actually work in Indonesian traffic, and tips that help you keep your ride running — not just looking good on a brochure.
