Hate negotiating with car dealers?
Don't. We do it for you.
We find the right car and negotiate the deal before you walk into the dealership. Buying or leasing.

How it works
You make the decisions. We do the work.
Define what you want
Know the exact car, or just what you need? Either way, we help you land on the right model, trim, and features.
We work the market
We draw on current pricing, incentives, and dealer inventory to find where the real deals are, then negotiate for you.
You choose your deal
You pick the best offer and buy or lease directly from the dealer, with us reviewing the paperwork alongside you.

Questions
How much does it cost?
A flat $1,000: half when we start working your deal, and the second half only if we beat your best offer.
What counts as my best offer?
The best written quote you have when you start with us. If you don't have one, it's the first written offer we receive from a dealer on the same vehicle. We compare on total cost, not just the monthly payment.
Do I still go to the dealership?
Yes, to sign and pick up your car. We negotiate your offer ahead of time and review the paperwork with you. Final figures depend on the lender's credit approval.
Do dealerships pay you?
No. We're paid only by you, which keeps us on your side.
What if I don't know what I want?
That's common. Tell us how you'll use the vehicle and what matters to you, and we'll help you narrow it down to the right model and trim.
Can you help with my trade-in?
Yes. We get your trade-in valued separately from the new car, so it can't be used to hide a worse price.
What vehicles do you work with?
New cars, trucks, and SUVs from dealerships, whether you're buying or leasing.
Will you run my credit or ask for my Social Security number?
No. Credit applications go directly to the dealer or lender you choose. We never collect your SSN or card numbers.
Half to start. The other half only if we beat your best offer.
Dealers don't pay us. You do. No dealer affiliations and no kickbacks, so we're on your side of every number.
Full terms are in your service agreement, provided before any payment.

What kind of vehicle fits your life?
Pick the closest one.
What matters most to you?
Choose all that apply.
What's your target monthly payment?
A rough range is fine.
How much would you like to put down?
This changes what a monthly payment really means, so it helps us compare apples to apples.

Will you be trading in a vehicle?
What's your ZIP code?
So we know which dealers to put in competition for you.
Anything else we should know?
