FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS MRAUTOGURU A DEALER? HOW DO I SAVE $$?
MrAutoGuru is a not a dealership. We work in your interest only to help you optimize your vehicle purchase or lease.
WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE QUOTES FROM DEALERS?
We offer The Guru's Promise: we'll beat any deal by $500 or our services are free! Yes, really! If we can't beat any written offer by at least $500, you owe absolutely nothing.
​
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?
1-2 weeks for most vehicles. However, if you're on a time crunch we can make it happen. Our record from inquiry to delivery is 20 hours!
​
DO YOU OFFER SERVICES ON USED CARS TOO?
MrAutoGuru can help you maximize both sides of your transaction. The used car selling service ($395), helps you get thousands more for your trade-in than your local dealer's offer.
WHY SHOULD I USE MRAUTOGURU'S SERVICES?
Save time and money. The average person spends 14 hours buying a car— vs 3 hours with MrAutoGuru. New car negotiations are complex: money factors, residuals, subvented APRs- who understands all of that? Fortunately, we do! That's why our clients save over $3,000 on average.
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM COSTCO AUTO?
Costco Auto Program and competitors like TrueCar are simply lead generators for dealers. They connect you with mediocre deals which we often beat by thousands. They also do not maximize your trade-in's value or offer personal guidance through the car-buying process.
​
WHAT DOES MRAUTOGURU MAKE PER DEAL?
We do not get compensated by the dealer by working fees into your deal on the back end. The only compensation we receive is directly from you—the client. Fees are due once a deal is agreed. Fees are 50% due if a deal meeting pricing expectations is delivered but not signed.
