Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know about how Auto-Side finds your car, negotiates the price, and the savings guarantee behind our $400 fee.
What does AutoSide do?
AutoSide helps you find a new car and negotiate with dealerships. We compare vehicles and offers, review fees, and handle the back-and-forth so you can spend less time at the dealership.
What if AutoSide doesn’t save me $400?
If the savings we negotiate don’t cover our $400 service fee, we refund that fee.
How much does AutoSide cost?
Our service costs $400 upfront. There are no recurring AutoSide charges. You pay the dealership directly for the vehicle and its related taxes and fees.
Do dealerships pay AutoSide?
No. We work for you, the buyer. We don’t take commissions or referral fees from dealerships.
Why use AutoSide instead of negotiating myself?
You can negotiate yourself. AutoSide handles the search, calls, offer comparisons, and negotiation, saving you time and helping you understand the deal before you decide.
Will I see the price before going to the dealership?
We ask the dealership for a written out-the-door breakdown and review the price, taxes, and fees with you. The dealership confirms the final numbers in your purchase paperwork.
Can you find a specific trim or color?
Tell us exactly what you want. We’ll search for a match and show you the closest available options if we can’t find one.
Can AutoSide help with my trade-in?
Yes. We can help you compare trade-in offers and see how your trade affects the deal. You decide whether to trade it in or sell it elsewhere.
Do I still buy the car from the dealership?
Yes. You buy the car directly from the dealership. AutoSide helps with the search and negotiation; the dealership handles the sale and paperwork.
