it’s your car’s real, itemized deal sheet—dealer cost, exact fees, taxes, and payment math. no “starting at,” no ad fluff. you see the floor number before you step inside.

no. it’s protection. we slow the process down, keep everything in plain english, and you sign only when the numbers match the sheet.
everything in the $49 happy deal price™ plus a post-visit price check. send your dealer worksheet/contract; we verify it line-by-line so you don’t get stung.
yes. you can upgrade anytime from your receipt or from the faq page links.
yes — **lease, finance, or cash** on new vehicles. (we keep trade-ins separate so the deal math stays clean.)
most turnarounds are same-day during business hours; next business day during heavy volume.
checkout runs on stripe (cards, apple pay, google pay). your payment info never hits our servers.
we store only what we need to build your quote (vin/build, zip, email). no resale, no spam. you can request deletion anytime.
if we can’t deliver a valid happy deal price™ for your vin/build, we’ll refund the $49. the $99 shield is covered if we can’t complete your post-visit check.
a photo/pdf of the dealer buyer’s order or worksheet showing selling price, fees, taxes, and any add-ons.
