Car Buying Services: Car-Pal

Car-Pal is another Car Buying Service that we here at Dave's Car Site would like to recommend or endorse as being a safe and economical way to outsource your next car deal.

In a previous post I answered the question, "Should I Hire A Broker?"  We ultimately wound up looking at not using a broker per say but instead looked at utilizing a car buying service.  A car buying service has no financial interest in what the dealer sells the car for nor does it accept any dealer commissions.  They are your advocate. 


One of the companies I mentioned was Authority Auto in Sherman Oaks,CA.  This is a great company and works nationally.

Recently, I discovered another company that will do the same, it is equally ethical and genuinely looking out for you, the car buyer.  Another Ace in the Hole, so to speak.  Anytime I stumble on a good, quality car buying service, I'll post it here!

This company is called Car Pal and it is based in North Carolina, but they too work nationally.  The founder is Lindsey Graham an she works along side Frank Anderson.  Lindsey has been in the car business since 97 and was the #1 Saturn Sales Professional her first year in the business.  Her commitment to putting the customer first was her ultimate secret to success and it has translated well to her new business.

I encountered Lindsay recently as part of a Social Media Contest where her enthusiasm shown through load and clear!  I also believe that if Lindsay puts forth as much energy into her clients as she did this contest, then you car be rest assured Car-Pal is someone you want in your corner when buying a car.

Car-Pal has two services they currently offer.  The Car-Pal Full Service and the Car-Pal Beat Your Best Deal.  The Full Service will help you from A to Z as you go through the process and the Beat Your Best Deal will either find you a better deal than the one you already have or confirm you've got the best deal already.  Either way you win.

So both companies, Authority Auto and Car-Pal work nationally, but for many buyers, they like to stay close to home.  Authority is on the West Coast and Cal-Pal on the East.  These are their areas and these are the locations they know best.  Oren at Authority and Lindsay at Car-Pal know exactly who to call and where to go to get you the best deal in town. 

If you don't have time, patience, experience or energy to do it yourself, you can't go wrong investing in either of these services.  Here you'll find peace of mind with the head aches and hassles of doing it yourself!
