Pricing
Simple, flat-fee pricing.
You bring us two things: the new vehicle you want to buy and the dealer's written quote for it. We research the market price for that vehicle, or for a similar make and model when exact pricing is not available. Then we give you a written pricing memo with a price range: a realistic target based on what other North Carolina dealers are advertising for the same or a similar car, and a stretch goal based on national fair-price data. The memo compares your quote to both targets line by line and, depending on the package you choose, explains each fee and add-on in plain English and shows lower-cost options for any extras you still want. You do the talking with the dealer. We make sure you're ready.

Add-ons
How our fees work
- Every fee is a flat amount, set in writing before we begin.
- You pay when you sign up, not when you buy a car.
- Your fee is the same whether or not you buy, whichever vehicle or dealer you choose, and whatever price you pay.
- We are paid only by you. We never accept payments or referral fees from dealers, manufacturers, lenders, or insurers.
Cancellations and refunds
If you cancel before we finish your package, we will refund the portion of your fee for services not yet provided. Refunds are based only on the services we have delivered, never on whether you buy or how much you save.
What we do not do
- We do not contact, negotiate with, or go to the dealership with you or on your behalf.
- We do not arrange financing or sell insurance, service contracts, GAP coverage, or other products.
- We do not handle trade-ins, vehicle titles, or payments to dealers.
We cannot guarantee any price, discount, or savings. Our services are consumer advisory services only. They are not legal, tax, or financial advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created. Fees and terms are confirmed in your signed engagement agreement, which controls if it differs from this schedule.
FAQ
Pricing questions.
When do I pay?
You pay when you sign up, before we begin work — not when you buy a car. We'll confirm your fee in writing before we start.
What if I'm not happy with the memo?
If the memo doesn't give you a clear negotiation target, we'll revise it or refund you. We stand behind the work.
Do you offer refunds?
If you cancel before we finish your package, we'll refund the portion of your fee for services not yet provided. Refunds are based on services delivered, not on whether you buy or how much you save.
