Get confident on your car decisions before you leave the dealer lot
The Problem
Buying a car is a pain in the ass. It is also the second most expensive purchase you'll ever make and it will come at a time when you are not prepared for it. You'll likely walk away not having gotten the best deal out there, not knowing what maintenance problems you're getting into, and saying things like "I wish I had known _____" about a month later.
The Solution
Like hiring a counselor to help you through a rough patch, Drive Counselor will guide you to purchase confidently. You can sleep better, take road trips more confidently, and stop reshuffling your budget to fit unforeseen car repairs. Now, the burden of time, research, and industry knowledge is off of your shoulders.
We'll inform and educate you on things like:
- Vehicle reliability
- Maintenance costs
- Average market value
- Lifestyle fit
- And much more
The Guarantee
1. The first consult is always free.
2. If our recommendations don't fit your budget or needs, then you'll get a full refund.
FAQ
Curious about how this works? Here's what you need to know.
How long is the first consult?
The first car consult is 15 minutes. It's a simple, relational call to understand your situation, needs, and give some honest, quick suggestions. If you need more than that, we can talk about getting you a more in-depth list of options!
How much do the car consults cost?
We have two tiers at the moment:
1. The Car Consult -- $97
- You fill out a short intake form telling us your budget, needs, and timeline
- We send back a shortlist of 3 vehicles that fit your situation — with a write-up on each explaining why it fits, what to watch for, and what to pay
- One round of follow-up questions included via email
- 2 business day turnaround from the time we receive your intake form
- One 30-minute follow-up call to go over any questions
2. The Car Consult Premium -- $197
- Everything in The Car Consult, plus we go out and find real listings for you on CarGurus, AutoTrader, and Facebook Marketplace
- We send you 3-5 specific live listings that match your criteria
- We send you a personalized video, walking through our picks and explaining key items to look for
Why would I pay someone to do this?
You should not pay for this if you have:
- A lot of time on your hands
- Feel confident about your car knowledge
- Know how to negotiate with dealers
- Have a high risk tolerance
If you do not have a strong grasp on any or all of the above, then the price of entry will be more than paid for by:
- Maintenance costs avoided
- Vehicle price savings
- Your time saved
What if this doesn't work?
If our suggeestions don't fit your needs, you get a full refund.
What if I want a discount?
If you refer a friend and they book a consult at any tier, we'll take 20% off your car consult, whichever tier you choose.
