🚗 How Car Buying Consultants At Deal Guard Are Different from Car Brokers

“A car broker finds you a deal. A car buying consultant makes sure it’s a great one — and that no one tricks you along the way or take money from dealers. 🕵️‍♂️” - Chase Jordan

In today’s car market, the terms car broker, car buying service, auto consultant, and car buying concierge get thrown around like free keychains at a dealership.

But here’s the deal — they’re not all the same.

At Deal Guard, we’re often asked: “Are you brokers?”

Nope. Not even close. We're a different type of business!

We’re proud car buying consultants and trained consumer advocates. We don't just say we're advocate, it's been our life for over 15 years!

And the difference matters a lot — especially when it comes to trust, transparency, and who’s really on your side.


🔍 What Is a Car Broker?

A car broker is typically someone who:

  • Has dealership connections or partnerships (Partnerships with the least trusted people in the world!)

  • Gets paid by the dealer for sending you their way - Conflict of interest in our books!

  • Might offer limited inventory or promote specific brands - That does not put you at the center of all we do!

  • Often earns commission from the dealer, not from you - who do you think they will take car of first???

They act as a middleman — and sometimes, that’s helpful.

But there’s a catch: brokers work in the dealer’s system.

That means you may never know if you truly got the best deal — or just the one that got them paid.


👀 What Is a Car Buying Consultant?

A car buying consultant (like Deal Guard) is someone who:

  • Works 100% for you — not the dealer - EVER!

  • Doesn’t accept commissions, kickbacks, or referral fees

  • Shops across all dealers, not just a few buddies looking to unload a few dead cars

  • Helps you negotiate, compare, and finalize a deal that serves you

We operate like a fiduciary — making sure you’re protected, informed, and never pressured.

A car buying concierge service is built around advocacy, not commissions.


🤔 Why This Difference Matters

Let’s say you’re shopping for a $40,000 SUV.

  • A broker might show you one for $39,500 — from a dealer who pays them $500.

  • A consultant like Deal Guard could find you one for $38,000 — and make sure you’re not paying hidden fees, bogus add-ons, or a marked-up interest rate.

We’re not trying to close a deal. We’re trying to protect your wallet.


⚡ Car Brokers Work for the Dealership. Deal Guard Works for You.

There’s a big philosophical difference:

  • Brokers succeed when a deal closes (even if it’s not the best one)

  • Consultants succeed when you win — even if it takes more time or negotiation

That’s why car buying consultants:

  • Say no to sketchy finance offers

  • Call out games in the fine print

  • Walk away from bad deals entirely

We don’t close the deal for you.

We help you make the smartest, cleanest decision — and ensure everything’s fair and honest.


💬 What Deal Guard Clients Say

  • “They didn’t care about pushing a car — they cared about helping me avoid a terrible finance trap.”

  • “I had 3 offers from brokers. Deal Guard beat them all by thousands.”

  • “They weren’t trying to sell me anything. They were trying to protect me.”
