Before the call
A productive consultation starts with a clear picture of where you are. If you have a vehicle in mind — or a shortlist of two or three — that's the most useful place to begin. Paperwork already in motion (a current lease, a loan payoff statement, a written dealer quote) lets us look at real numbers rather than estimates.
None of these are prerequisites. If you're earlier in the process, the consultation is a useful place to think it through with someone who isn't trying to sell you a car.
What the call covers
The conversation is built around your situation, not a pitch. We work through where your current plan stands, identify the points where there's meaningful money on the table — pricing, financing structure, F&I products, trade-in valuation — and outline what an engagement would look like.
If a service makes sense, scope and flat fee are stated before the call ends. If your situation doesn't warrant professional representation, we say so and point you to the public resources that would actually help.
Where this fits
This consultation is built for buyers who haven't yet signed. If you're still choosing a vehicle, negotiating price, or preparing for the finance office, this is the right starting point — earlier engagement gives us more leverage on your behalf.
If you've already signed and want to know whether the deal was fair, the F&I Audit is the better fit — the focus shifts from negotiation to identifying recoverable amounts and cancellable products.
