I submitted a Google Forms inquiry at 3PM on a Wednesday, he texted me at 3:30PM, and we had a deal arranged by 5:30PM that same day. I was able to pick up the car a couple of days later (based on my availability), and it was a smooth process at the dealership – all the paperwork prepared and there was no hassling besides being given an option to select additional excess wear & tear coverage by the finance person (it wasn’t a hard sell though).
I went with one of Sam’s one time pay deals on the Ioniq 5 Limited RWD. I looked at the other brokers out there on LeaseHackr, and his offerings are hard to beat. I would definitely use Sam again next time I need a lease. Thanks!
Would highly recommend Sam and GC auto brokers! Same hooked me up with an amazing Chevy blazer deal and qualified me for additional discounts. The deal he got me beat every broker on LeaseHackr. I appreciated his quick replies and thoroughness. Will definitely work with him again. Thanks Sam!
Was skeptical how this broker things works/ is legit, like anyone… ok so this is for anyone worried: don’t be. And I say it because my deal was NOT smooth and had any reason to be a “I told you so don’t do this” story.
I closed with Sam/GC on the OTD price and in SMS he confirmed all the discounts it is based on. paid the fee…
Problem: 24 hours later Sam tells me the discounts cannot be stacked and the dealer can’t honor our price. oh oh…
First (correct) GC action: immediately followed up with a reassurance that I will get my fee refunded if they can’t fix it.
Second (best) GC action: They asked for 24 hours more to try and get a plan b executed, finding an alternative dealer that can honor the price by replacing the discounts to compensate for the problem we had.
Result: Sam found a dealer willing to match the price (it was $50 difference total), car was delivered to my house, and all the time you get Sam check on you, on the dealers communication and even validates the lease details if you ask him to prior to singing.
Sam didn’t only deliver a deal, they acted as a private concierge service being on your side until the car is in your driveway. Highly recommended.
I worked with GCAuto, and they had some of the most competitive lease prices and best customer service. Not only did he go out of his way to find me a Northern California dealer, he also matched AND lowered an already competitive dealer quote. He quoted me $9200 + broker fee for a Ioniq 5 Limited one-pay that ended up being a only $9007 + broker fee. This was possibly the easiest and best broker I have ever worked with, and I highly recommend him to anyone.
It was my first time going through a broker to lease a vehicle and the process was really smooth. They guided me through the steps and were patient answering my questions.
This will definitely be my preferred way to aquire vehicles moving forward!
I’m in NorCal and initially, there weren’t any deals here, I had to go pickup at SoCal. Unfortunately that wasn’t possible for me at the time so we didn’t do a deal. A week or two later, GCAuto contacted me that they found a deal on the Ionic 5 Limited RWD I was looking for in NorCal!
From broker fee payment to taking delivery of the car was less than 2 days (dealers busy on the weekends).
Like everyone else, I had a great experience with Sam and GCAuto. When I initially reached out to him (late on a Sunday night) the deal he had advertised was already gone, but within 24 hours he was able to secure the same deal for me! He asked for my top 3 choices of colors and I got my first choice as well.
Sam was super responsive and helpful (and patiently dealt with all my questions).
I am absolutely thrilled with my new car, all thanks to Sam from GCAuto! This was by far the easiest car-buying process I’ve ever experienced. I dreaded turning in my lease because of the countless hours I’d typically spend at the dealership—well, not anymore!
My family has been loyal to one dealership for over 20 cars, but they couldn’t come close to GCAuto’s deal. After feeling let down by the dealership we had trusted for so long, I was upset. Sam treated me like he had sold my family all 20 of those cars, offering exceptional service and support throughout the process. I am so appreciative and grateful for his help. Thank you, Sam, for making this an outstanding car-buying experience!
Just leased Ionic 5 SE in San Jose, CA from GCAuto.
They are very responsive and I was able to lease the car in a matter of days.
And the best thing is I was able to get the best price hands down.
I highly recommend GCAuto, I will surely reach out to them in 2 years when my lease ends on my Ioniq.
Thank you
I dealt it with Harry. The communication was clear. The response was quick via text. He explained the whole process patiently since it was my first time leading a car. The car was delivered to my work place as promised. I got a Ioniq 5 limited. The whole process from start to finish was short. This was my first time dealing with an auto broker. I will lease another car from GCAuto again after two years.
Thanks Sam for this amazing lease deal that you helped me for the Chevy
EV blazer. Being the first time using this process, but the way you help and provide all the necessary support is outstanding. Again, I would love to use GC Auto in the future again.
A big thank to Sam for providing me with the lease deal for Ioniq 5 Limited in NorCal (bay area). All went exactly as promised in the post and in the SMS communication. First I was a bit worried about trusting someone unknown from this forum with my money, but have no worries! All went smooth, got my car after a few days from close dealership, did not have to pay a single dollar more. Can only recommend to everyone who is looking for a car from the brands Sam (GC Auto) is dealing with!
Sam is the best! Messaged in this forum about wanting an Ioniq 5, but we weren’t yet sure what color or trim. He messaged me Wednesday the 14th, we discussed pricing and I told him I’d stop by a local dealer to verify which trim level and colors were my choices. He was patient and thorough with explanations of the process.
I messaged him again Monday afternoon and told him what I wanted, exact trim and color. He let me know he was able to get it for a little less than the original quote! He found the vehicle, got me in touch with the dealer, I drove it home that Wednesday. One week total from initial contact to me getting the car home, and the process was dead simple. Would definitely do business with them again, and recommended them to a friend who is looking to lease soon. Thanks Sam and GCAuto broker!
Big thank you to Harry,GCauto and Nissan dealer team. Request quote → reply very quick. Good quote. 1st response from Dealer to me took few days but after that it was very smooth. Harry was always very responsive and give me answers quickly. This is my first EV and I’m very grateful that I checked Leasehacker and GCauto.
Wow, i was still a little skeptical when i clicked send on the $499 venmo payment for the broker fee, but it was totally worth it. 2022 ioniq sel rwd, digital teal, gray interior. 33 months at 12k per year, $2000 at signing and $257/month. Everything was exactly as advertised and it was less than 12 hours from saying lets go to keys in hand. From the time i arrived at the dealer to when i was driving away was less than 45 minutes. No BS in the finance office, no dealer add ons, just a great deal. Thanks GC Auto.
Nothing but good things to say about GC Auto Broker! Picked up my Ioniq 5 Limited in SoCal on 8/23, Cyber Gray, black interior. Love the car and the transaction was smooth and simple! Don’t be scared about Venmo-ing the broker fee, Harry even negotiated a better deal than they had posted here on Leasehackr, and saved me literally thousands vs. my local dealer’s best offer on a Limited.
Would not hesitate to use again when I’m in the market!
Worked with Sam at GCAuto in NJ and I have to say, as a skeptical first time user of an auto broker, it was the best money I’ve ever spent. Sam was patient with our numerous questions, stayed on top of the entire process, even following up after signing and went out of his way to find us a match at the trim and interior/exterior that we wanted.
We were looking for an EV9 Land trim and after finding us one that was close enough that we accepted, went out and found us one that was an exact match and a dealership that was closer to our house AND was a lower price than that one we thought we were getting.
We will definitely check with Sam when our lease is up and it’s time to go through the process again!
I had a fantastic experience with GC Auto! They were incredibly responsive and responsible throughout the entire process. I contacted them around 2 pm, made the payment by 5 pm, and had my car ready by 8 pm—everything went smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend GC Auto for their excellent service!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Sam at GC Auto to lease a Chevy Equinox EV RS trim, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Sam guided me through the entire process, ensuring I got the best possible deal. The total cost, including the broker fee, was an incredible $7,400 for a 12,000 miles/year lease, which also included wear and tear insurance (covering $400/1600 miles and up to $5,000 in damages).
Sam’s expertise and dedication were evident throughout the process. He meticulously explained every detail and answered all my questions, making me feel confident and informed. When it was time to pick up the car at the dealership, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the final price was actually less than what he had initially promised.
I got the car a month ago and should have posted this review earlier, but the fantastic experience is still fresh in my mind. Sam went above and beyond to ensure that I got an excellent deal and a smooth leasing experience. If you’re in the market for a new car lease, I highly recommend working with Sam at GC Auto. You won’t be disappointed!
