Car Concierge Pro FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Dealerships take advantage of people by playing the numbers game and psychological tactics. Dealerships have trained sales associates who know how to get your every hard-earned dollar while Car Concierge Pro’s goal is to help save your money on your car purchase.
I faced a personal issue while buying a new car, Nissan Rogue, back when I was a Ph.D. student at Arizona State University, USA. I found out that every dealership was selling the same car at different prices, and that got me frustrated with the process. And so, I decided to get a new vehicle at the lowest price. After spending three weeks of sleepless nights, I eventually bought the car and saved $7450 off of the selling price.
However, the entire car buying process is time consuming, exhausting, and demands time off from school and work. Once my friends found out about this story and my negotiating skills, they have been reaching out for their car deals. Slowly but surely, the word spread around, and now I have negotiated over 100+ car deals across the USA.

Most dealerships are tacky. They will run your credit even if you’re still looking for your perfect car. This way, they can tie you down and sell you the vehicle at the highest possible prices even if you don’t like their current inventory.
Let’s look at several options:
- If you’re buying it outright or paying in cash, you should NEVER let a dealership run your credit. There’s no law where you have to abide by what they say to you at the time of the car purchase.
- If you’re planning to lease or finance, you should ONLY let the dealership run your credit once you’re 100% sure of the car, and you’ve already negotiated the car prices.
There are over 32 different ways of how a dealership makes billions, if not millions, by taking advantage of everyday people like us.

Before founding CarConciergePro, I was a co-founder of a MedTech startup, raised over $1.5M, grew our team to 25 members, published papers with Mayo Clinic, and more.
Car Concierge Pro is a boutique concierge service for people looking to save their hard-earned money on their next car purchase. We have made the entire car buying process cost-effective and hassle-free for our clients.
It all started when I wanted to buy my dream car and found that the various dealers were pricing the vehicle differently. I did extensive research on the reason behind the difference in prices from multiple dealers. To my surprise, the conclusion of my study was shocking. The dealers were misleading the buyers by including unnecessary costs in the deal.
The first year of my business was the most crucial one. It helped me get better at converting prospects to clients. I got better at negotiating with car dealerships for my clients to negotiate their dream cars at great prices.
The entire car buying process is time-consuming, exhausting, and demands time off. Once my friends found out about this story and my negotiating skills, they started reaching out to me for their car deals. Slowly but surely, the word spread around, and now I have negotiated over 39 car deals and saved our clients over $370,000+ of their hard-earned money.
The short answer to this question is to shop online, purchase the car virtually, and get it home delivered. Don’t forget to use sanitizer and Clorox wipes to clean the vehicle. Also, wear a mask and nitrile gloves when you go for the drive.
The detailed answer is as follows:
The car buying and negotiating process is painstaking. The usual method is to go from dealership to dealership when someone is in the market to get a new or pre-owned car. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the process needs to evolve. As a healthcare professional, I am concerned about my clients’ health, and at the same time, as a Car Concierge professional, I also want them to get their vehicle during the crisis.
And so, at Car Concierge Pro, we have simplified the car selection process for our clients based on their preference, budget, and timeline by making them aware that there’s no need to go a dealership to test-drive different cars. To date, we have saved clients over $370,000+ of their hard-earned money.
We provide them with a concierge service where the vehicles which they are interested in comes to their home or office with a driver who is wearing a mask and gloves and has thoroughly sanitized each car.
Once they have completed several test drives and figured out which car they are looking to get, we provide them with the best Out The Door pricing (lowest possible price) by negotiating with several car dealerships, virtually. We also negotiate interest rates on finance or lease options with the dealerships on behalf of our clients.
Once we finalize which deal we want to go forward with, we ensure that the dealership provides contactless delivery of the sanitized car to our client’s home. This way, we offer our clients a cost-effective and hassle-free experience.
We are not affiliated with any dealership nor any car manufacturers. We do not promote any specific cars and negotiate every deal with complete honesty and integrity. We keep clients’ preferences at the forefront – cost savings and convenience.
Not bragging, but we are so good at negotiating car deals because we have done extensive research on the reasons behind the difference in car prices at various dealerships.
Car dealerships make millions if not billions over the long haul by making customers pay some of the “hidden” fees or so-called dealer add-ons (addendums). That’s where we jump in to make them understand what’s right and what’s an add-on.
After curating over 100 deals and negotiating for over 500 hours with the dealerships, we have learned negotiating fiercely to get our clients’ best deals on their new or preowned car purchases.
The duration of your visit to the dealership can vary depending on several factors, such as the paperwork involved, any additional services requested, and the dealership’s efficiency. However, on average, you can expect to spend a few hours at the dealership to complete the necessary formalities.
To ensure a smooth transaction, please bring the following documents:
- Valid driver’s license
- Proof of insurance (if you already have an insurance policy)
- Proof of identity (passport, ID card, etc.)
- Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, etc.)
- Any additional documents requested by the dealership (if applicable)
Generally, you can either drive the car from the dealership or have it delivered to your desired location. We can discuss your preference and make the necessary arrangements accordingly.
You must have insurance coverage if you choose to drive the car from the dealership. We can assist you in obtaining insurance through Geico or any other provider you prefer. It is recommended to have insurance in place before driving the vehicle.
When test-driving a vehicle, the dealership usually provides insurance coverage for any potential damages that may occur during the test drive. However, clarifying the specific insurance terms with the dealership beforehand is always a good idea to ensure you are adequately protected.
The dealership will guide you through registering and licensing your new vehicle. Regarding the number plate, you may have the option to choose personalized or specialized plates based on availability and local regulations. Discussing your preferences with the dealership is best, and they will assist you accordingly.
Adding accessories can be done either during the purchase or later on. It’s worth considering the dealership’s offerings as they may have competitive prices and expertise in installing accessories specific to the vehicle. However, if you prefer to explore other options or aftermarket accessories, you can add them later from another dealership or specialized shop to ensure the price is within your budget.
