Q. Why should I consider using your services?
A. First and foremost, we will negotiate the lowest price possible... anywhere... for the vehicle you desire equipped the way you want it. Lower than buying services, other brokers and Internet services. All you do is relax and enjoy. No dealer contact, no haggling over price, no waste of your valuable time. In the unlikely event you find a better price, our fee is cheerfully refunded upon proof of purchase at a lower price*. Not only do we have extensive dealer resources, but since we arrange hundreds of sales annually with these dealers, obviously better pricing is available to us than to individuals.
      Once we provide you with a quote and the offer is accepted by you, we arrange delivery to our office or your home or office. No trips to the dealership, sometimes taking hours to take posession while enduring more high pressure sales pitches to buy after-market products and accessories you don't want.
      Unlike lease and finance contracts at the dealerships, we do not allow markup of financing or leases on vehicles arranged through us.

*Please read our warranty of services for details.

Q. Why should I pay a fee when some other brokers and services charge none?
A. There's an old saying - "You get what you pay for". And believe us when we say nothing is free. We simply work much harder for our clients, making extensive contacts with our hugh dealer network. We want to be certain we have found the lowest price for you. Unlike many other services, we have no contractual alliances. We are completely independent in our search for the best price. This work is time consuming and expensive but it pays off... for you! How could you ever find the time or learn the resources to do all this yourself. And other services simply don't put forth as much effort on behalf of their clients. One thing is certain - we will save you many times over the fee you pay.

Q. How long will it take for you to quote me a price on my new vehicle?
A. For most vehicles, no more than 2 or 3 days, often sooner. All we ask is enough time to do a thorough job for you.

Q. How is ABCS different from other auto buying services?
A. We differ from organizations such as Autoland, New Cars Inc, or other Credit Union buying services:

• These organizations primarily serve credit union members.
• ABCS services are universally available and our prices are often many hundreds of dollars less.
• ABCS' refund policy guarantees our lowest-price and locating services, others do not, and if they charge no fee, perhaps it is because their pricing is too high and without a guarantee, they have nothing to lose.
• Our prices on options such as extended warranties, protection packages and alarm systems cost much less.
• ABCS is far more convenient and requires no personal appointment... and there's never any pressure to buy.

A. We differ from organizations such as Costco and AAA:

• These programs simply provide referrals to designated personnel at participating dealerships. You must go to the participating dealer where you will receive a pre-determined price quote based on pricing established at the beginning of each model year.
• Such pricing isolates the buyer from hidden rebates and/or factory to dealer pricing incentives ( not to be confused with customer rebates) which often occur from time to time throughout the year.
• Many highly desirable or hard to find models are excluded from these programs.
• Such buying services may cost clients hundreds, even thousands more than ABCS pricing which is based on thorough market research and analysis.

A. We differ from Internet services such as Autobytel, CarsDirect.com, Greenlight.com, etc:

• These programs are nothing more than cooperative advertising and sales promotions sponsored by dealerships paying for Internet advertising exposure and guaranteed referrals to inquiring consumers in their proximity.
• The designated contact person will make a quote and attempt to sell you the car just like any other car salesman. You must visit the dealership to consummate the transaction.
• The few Internet Services that provide direct sales (not dealer referrals) have been largely unsuccessful and, after many failures or mergers, there are few left.
• Last, but not least, our prices are not only lower, but these direct Internet Services add delivery fees, service charges and other various mark-ups to their quoted price once you agree to buy through them.

Q. Can you provide references?
A. Yes! We will glady provide references upon request.
