Do you pay the fee before you ever speak with anyone?
Answer: No
Are the deals listed with zero down?
Answer: Yes. but sometimes zero down means paying 1st month only, and sometimes zero down means paying 1st month + thousands of fees.
Do they help with the procress (selecting trim levels based on price) or do you have to be definite in what you want before reaching out
Answer: I don’t know. I was definite before reaching out because I think it is a waste of time discussing with strangers (including brokers) on what car I need.
How fast do they reach out?
Answer: Relatively fast. I switched to Auto companion because it takes 5+ days to get a response from my previous dealer/broker (Ourisman)
