CLARITY BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Questions & Answers
Everything you need to know about working with an independent car buying advocate.
Do I still buy from a dealership?
Yes. We handle the sourcing and negotiation on your behalf, but you complete the final transaction directly with the dealership, ensuring full transparency and direct ownership.
Does Shift sell cars?
No, we are entirely independent. We don't hold inventory or work for dealerships. Our sole purpose is to act as your advocate and secure the best terms for you.
How much does Shift cost?
We charge a flat, transparent fee for our concierge service. There are no hidden commissions or surprises—you know exactly what you're paying for our expertise upfront.
Can you help with financing?
Absolutely. We review dealership financing offers and compare them against market rates to ensure you aren't overpaying on interest or hidden backend fees.
Can you negotiate used cars?
Yes, we source and negotiate both new and pre-owned vehicles. For used cars, we also ensure thorough history checks, condition verification, and fair market valuations.
Can I use my own lender?
Of course. We can coordinate with your preferred bank or credit union to streamline the process and compare their rates against dealer options to find your best path forward.
Can you help me lease?
Yes. Leasing involves complex calculations like money factors and residuals. We break these down, negotiate the capital cost, and ensure the lease terms work entirely in your favor.
Do you inspect dealer offers?
Yes. We conduct a forensic review of every dealer worksheet, catching padded fees, mandatory add-ons, and markup before you ever see the final contract.
