Frequently Asked Questions
What is a car concierge service?
A car concierge (or car-buying broker) negotiates with dealers on your behalf. They typically charge $300-$1,000 per deal and handle price negotiation, trade-in evaluation, and sometimes delivery. The tradeoff is cost and less control over the process.
How is CarWhere different from a car concierge?
CarWhere gives you the same market data and negotiation intelligence that concierges use — verified transaction prices, fee analysis, and deal-specific scripts — but at $4.99/mo instead of $500+ per deal. You stay in control and negotiate directly, armed with better data than most brokers have.
Is CarWhere really cheaper than a car broker?
Yes. A single car broker engagement costs $300-$1,000. CarWhere Premium is $4.99/mo with unlimited deal analysis, full negotiation scripts, and market insights. Even at one deal per year, you save at least $295. Most users cancel after they buy, paying under $10 total.
What if I still want someone to negotiate for me?
CarWhere works alongside brokers too. Run your quote through DealDrive first to see exactly where you stand. If you then hire a broker, you can verify their results against real data. Many users find that once they see the data, they feel confident negotiating themselves.
