Why flat instead of a percentage?
Follow the money and you'll understand every car buying service instantly. A broker who takes a percentage of the transaction makes more when you spend more — that's a quiet incentive to steer you toward the pricier car. A "free" service that's paid by the dealership works for the dealership; you're not the client, you're the product being delivered. And dealer referral programs pay per car sold, which rewards closing you fast, not closing you low.
A flat fee breaks all of those incentives. We make the same $100 whether you buy a $25,000 Civic or an $85,000 Super Duty — so the only way we win is by catching more in your deal than the fee costs. That's the whole business model.
How the math works out
The average new-car buyer leaves four figures on the table across the vehicle price, the trade-in, the rate markup, and the fee stack — not because they're bad negotiators, but because they do this once every five years against people who do it every day. The dealer's rate markup alone can cost roughly $2,000 over a loan term, and doc-fee-plus-add-on stacks routinely add $1,000–$2,500 to a deal sheet before anyone blinks. DEALCHECKR flags every one of those lines in recoverable dollars, and a former F&I manager confirms the verdict before you sign. Catch a single padded fee and the $100 has paid for itself several times over.

FAQ
How much does DEALRHACKR cost?
One flat $100: 90 days of unlimited DEALCHECKR runs, price checks, and VIN decodes — plus a human review of your final deal by a former dealership F&I manager. Searching, the garage, vehicle pages, and your first deal check are free.
What's the human deal review?
When you're down to the real deal, send us the final worksheet. Someone who used to run a dealership finance office goes over every line — price, trade, rate, fees — and sends you a written verdict within 24 hours, with an optional 15-minute call to talk it through. You walk into the finance office already knowing the answer.
Do I still need a car broker?
A traditional broker charges around $1,000 to handle the purchase for you. Most buyers don't need the purchase handled — they need the numbers checked. That's what the $100 covers: the tool grades every worksheet, and an insider confirms the final one before you sign.
Do you take a percentage or get paid by dealers?
No and no. We never take a percentage of the sale and we never accept dealer referral money or kickbacks. The $100 from you is our entire compensation, which is exactly why we can sit on your side of the table.
Is the fee ever more for expensive cars?
No. $100 whether it's a commuter or a full-spec truck. Flat means flat.
Is this a subscription?
No. One payment, 90 days, and it ends on its own. Nothing renews, nothing to cancel, no card kept on file for a rainy day.
