Frequently Asked Questions
   
 
 
 
 
How do you charge for your car buying service? Is it a percentage of the total car price, or a flat fee?
Women's Automotive Solutions charges a modest, flat fee for our car buying service. Our goal is to get you the best deal on a new or pre-owned vehicle. Therefore, our fees should not be tied to that price. The fee is due when you sign a contract with a consultant. Prices may vary by geography, so contact a Women's Automotive Solutions consultant for more information.

Do you only help women buy cars, or do you help men too?
Absolutely! Although Women's Automotive Solutions was originally started to help women purchase cars, we found that many men dislike the car buying process as well, or they simply do not have the time required to negotiate a good deal on their own. In fact, approximately 50-60% of our clients are men!

How much can you save me on the purchase of a car?
Women's Automotive Solutions can typically save you hundreds to thousand of dollars on a new or pre-owned vehicle. The exact amount that we can save you depends on the current market for the desired vehicle. In one case, we were able to save a client nearly $15,000 off the sticker price of a new vehicle. In another case, the vehicle that our client wanted was brand new, very hot in the market, and had an 8 month wait list. We we still able to save her $300 off the sticker price, and she was able to take delivery of the vehicle immediately. There is also more to a car deal than just the price of the vehicle itself. Women's Automotive Solutions also negotiates your financing, the value of your trade-in vehicle, transportation and any other fees, and ensures that the entire process is smooth and pleasant for you.

How can you get me a better deal than I could get on my own?
The consultants of Women's Automotive Solutions have over 40 years combined experience in the automotive industry, and we are experts in every aspect of the car buying process. We also buy more cars in a single month than most people buy in their lifetime! Our industry experience, strong relationships, and purchasing power enable us to get you the best possible deal. If you are well versed in the car buying process and able to spend the 36 hours that J.D. Powers recommends researching your vehicle and negotiating with multiple dealers, there is no reason that you could not get a great deal for yourself. But, think about how much your time is worth.

How does your service differ from the many online buying services and clubs?
Most online buying services and clubs simply forward your information to a single dealer in your area with whom they have a pre-arranged agreement. The "no haggle" price you are quoted by the sales person may or may not be the best possible price for that vehicle. You are also left to negotiate your own financing and trade-in vehicle, and to complete the deal on your own. Women's Automotive Solutions does not have any pre-arranged deals with any dealers. We personally negotiate the vehicle price, financing and your trade with multiple dealers to ensure that you get the best possible deal overall. We also work with the dealer to ensure a smooth and pleasant delivery process. We can even be by your side at local deliveries to help you successfully navigate the "finance office", handle any issues or questions that may arise and to give you peace of mind.

Do you do leases?
Yes. We are leasing experts and will negotiate the terms of the lease to ensure that you get the best deal. We will also work with you up front to determine if you are a good leasing candidate.

I have already been to a car dealership and spoken with a sales person. Is it too late to use your services?
It is best if you contact Women's Automotive Solutions prior to visiting a car dealership so we can setup a no-hassle test drive for you. However, many of our clients test drive vehicles and begin preliminary discussions with dealerships before hiring us. In fact, some of our clients hire us because they had an unpleasant experience at a dealership! Once you hire Women's Automotive Solutions to negotiate a car deal for you, we will inform the dealership that you are our client, and they should direct all communications to us. You should refrain from speaking with the dealership going forward to avoid any confusion.

There doesn't seem to be a Women's Automotive Solutions consultant in my area. Can you still help me buy a car?
Yes! Any Women's Automotive Solutions consultant can help you purchase a vehicle, even if he or she is not physically located in your geographic area.
