Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I never use a car buying advocacy service that is ran by ex car sales people?

The car industry is an industry that is not trusted by 90% of consumers. So why would you trust a recently added ex member of that industry to manage such an important decision? We recommend you use professionally trained advocates and negotiators like our team at Deal Guard. We know all of the tricks and scams of the car business without the sleazy car business drop out reputation. You deserve better and we provide that for you at Deal Guard. We are not ex car sales people. We are professional advocates and negotiators. That's the Deal Guard Advantage. NOTE: Not all sales people or dealerships have bad habits or have been poorly trained. Some are amazing and we love to work with them. We didn't create the car biz industry or its bad habits, we're simply making it better for consumers one deal at a time.

How do you know so much about the car industry without having been in the business?

Nobody in the industry has what we have, period. Our journey is different then our competitors, we know this industry inside and out in our own special way. Our founder has spent over 25 years studying how dealerships really work—inside and out. He’s worked in the biz (Early 20's - not recently by any means), tried to buy three car stores (Ford, Toyota, Honda), and grilled everyone from Brand Franchise Directors, CEOs, GM,s, Desk Managers, Service Directors, Admin Staff, Porters, Detailers, Finance Managers, right up to hard working front desk staff & janitors to learn how dealerships make money and operate. One franchise owner even told him, “Chase, you know more about this than I do—and I’ve owned it for 20 years. Nicely done!” We’re not recent exiles of the car sales biz. We’re professional consumer advocates who know how the game works more than 99.9% of people "IN THE BIZ"—and how to win it. Check out our founder's blog below to see just how deep his knowledge runs and he thought us everything he knows. Hire us today to get the deal guard difference.

How long does the process take?

The process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days or even weeks depending on your choice of vehicle. We strive to get you behind the wheel as fast or slow as you want.

What makes you the BEST?

We've been rated as the very best because we use a proprietary 21 step process that combines artificial intelligence, machine learning, 35 years of negotiation experience, deep car industry knowledge (we've sold cars and been finance managers and know all the tricks of the trade), and our latest proprietary technology. Nobody in the entire market place knows precisely what we know to deliver the world-class experience we do. It's that simple. Try it for yourself a see what everyone's talking about. :)

Why in the world should I hire Deal Guard?

People tell us they enjoy our service because it saves them time, ensures a strong deal they feel good about, and reduces their overall stress in dealing with dealerships. It's literally like placing an order on Amazon and the next thing you know, your vehicle is ready to be picked up. The convenience of it all is why we stay busy with happy clients every day.

Can you work in any state?

Yes. Our professionals can work with you anywhere you want to buy your new vehicle.

What should I look for when hiring a company like yours?

First of all, never use a car sales person that recently quit their sales job. They are programed to car about the dealership, NOT YOU! Plus they are the least trusted people on the planet. I know some are probably nice people but they are not suited to be advocates. Second, there are only a few good ones out there that we would approve of for ourselves, so be very careful. Make sure they're the real thing and not some girl/guy without a proven process and system. Their are many fakes out there working from their dorm rooms. Make sure that you can speak to a real person and that they're a real business offering a service they worked hard to create. Do they have a website? What does that website claim? Do they have a phone number? Do they have a secure way to take your payment? Are they registered with the state? Are they insured? Are they in the USA to hold them accountable if they run away with your money? Be careful who you hire. Schedule a FREE call with us to chat if you have issues choosing the right company. Even if you don't hire us, we can help you find the right company for your needs, free of charge. We love helping people!

Does Deal Guard get any money (kickbacks/commissions) from the dealerships, banks, or insurance companies?

Nope. We represent you and only you to ensure we DEAL GUARD your deal and your best interests. This way there is NEVER a conflict of interest.

Can you help me with my trade in?

You bet! We can help you make sure you get the most money out of your trade in. We use a proven process that ensured your get every dollar you can.

Do you negotiate both New and Used vehicles?

Yes. We assist you for both new or used vehicles.

How do you make sure I get the best deal?

Remember! Our service is first and foremost a service that save you time and lots of effort. A great deal is a secondary benefit. That being said, we do a some secret sauce that is our proven 21 step process to make sure you get the best deal possible. All deals vary but our process makes sure we maximize every opportunity to save you money. We never promise a dollar amount. That would be unethical. Every deal is different depending on many factors but our 21 step process is proven to do the best job humanly possible. We are not miracle workers, but sometimes miracles do happen. LOL :)

Do you help with leases too?

No matter what you need, we are here for you. We help people get strong deals on leases daily.

Can you get me better financing?

Part of our process is making sure we do everything we know how to do to get you a competitive rate you otherwise would not get. It is part of our service when you hire us. If a better rate is available, we'll fight to get it for you.

Are you just a car negotiation company?

No. Our service was started to save people time, eliminate fear, and give people a great buying experience. The bonus of our service is a strong negotiation to get you a strong deal. We are first and foremost a time saving and anxiety removal company guarding your interests throughout the car buying process.

How much money will you save me?

Our service is not about saving money. Some vehicles are at MSRP or more and dealers will not negotiate. But, if available, our first goal is to make sure we save you what you paid us so our service becomes essentially FREE to you. Then we work even harder to save even more whenever possible. Once we secured the best deal possible, we show you what we saved you. Example savings are anywhere from $100 to $10 000+ in savings depending on vehicle types, year, dealer specials, manufacture promotions, and many other ways dealers can give back. Our 21 step process makes sure we ask all the right questions to get the strongest deal for you.

Do you have a guarantee?

We guarantee to save you at a minimum our fee so we become FREE to you. Some vehicles are rare and if a discount cannot be achieved by no fault of our own then there would not be that guarantee for obvious reasons. We also guarantee to work closely with you until we find your perfect car and you are satisfied. We make no guarantee on specific deal savings although we fight very hard for you and use every trick in our book! We guarantee to find your car, negotiate a strong deal, manage the entire process until you pick up your new car. We guarantee to be with you all the way during your new car buying journey. That's our guarantee. Fair enough? We think so too! :)

Who started Deal Guard and what exactly do you do?

Deal Guard, a popular and straightforward car buying service operating in the US and Canada, was created by Chase Jordan. Leveraging his experience in executive hospitality leadership and consumer advocacy, Chase designed the program to provide a seamless car buying experience, saving customers time and eliminating stress and buyer's remorse.
