Car Compass is an independent, professional car buying service operating in Toronto and serving all of Ontario. As your auto broker, Car Compass works on your behalf and in your best interests to save you time, money and uncertainty when looking for a vehicle. Our role is to empower you by providing an informative and consultative approach to identifying and buying or leasing a vehicle. We provide thorough and unbiased research, advice and guidance from start to finish enabling you to make confident and well-informed decisions. A vehicle is a large purchase, so it's important to be sure it's the right one, at the right price.

Our mission: to make identifying and buying the ideal vehicle as easy, transparent and cost-effective as possible.

We listen. And we work solely for you to:

• identify your most suitable vehicle choices

• eliminate time consuming research and legwork

• negotiate a great deal on your behalf

We hope to refine how you purchase or lease your next vehicle by eliminating any unknowns, high-pressure sales techniques and uncomfortable negotiations. We believe that the experience of buying or leasing a car should be transparent and straightforward.

Car Compass exists to ensure it is just that -- all while saving you time, money and uncertainty.

We listen to all the things you'll need your vehicle to do, what features you want and how much you'd like to spend. We're not in the business of up-selling or trying to put you in a specific type of vehicle -- we're in the business of empowering consumers by sharing knowledge and levelling the playing field with dealerships. We simply take the less enjoyable aspects of buying a car -- the legwork, extensive research, overwhelming choice and uncomfortable negotiations -- out of the equation.

From start to finish, we handle all of the time-consuming research and run-around associated with finding a suitable vehicle.

Here's how:

Initial consultation -- the first step is to share with us everything you desire in a vehicle, along with your budget, if established. We'll listen to you intently and can suggest whether purchasing new, pre-owned or leasing makes the most sense for your specific situation. If you're not sure what your budget will get you, or where to set your budget for your needs, we'll gladly provide you with an idea.

This is an obligation-free consultation. Afterwards, you can decide whether you'd like to proceed with our services. We will not pressure you in any way, as this goes against our core principles and everything we stand for.

Research & Presentation -- after digesting what we have discussed, Car Compass vigorously researches the automotive marketplace to determine what suitable options exist to you, ensuring that you will be choosing from only the most appropriate available vehicles. Choice can be overwhelming, so it's important that your decision is based on a refined and suitable competitive set. We eliminate all unsuitable options and make sure no good ones are overlooked.

Once our highly tailored research is complete, we will present to you a custom document containing your suitable vehicles along with a few of our recommendations. This document showcases the vehicles, along with pertinent information relating to your individual search. Your research will remain available to you through your own personal Car Compass portal that you can access online anytime, anywhere!

Coordination of test drives -- when you narrow down the options to a few that you like, we will provide you with a logical dealership visitation plan based on your coordinates to make efficient use of your time. We will notify the dealerships of our arrangement to ensure you won't be pressured in any way. If you like, we can join you on your dealership visits to provide assistance.* If you're okay on your own, we're always just a phone call away!

Negotiations and administration -- once you've decided on a vehicle, we will perform negotiations on your behalf to secure a great price. We will ensure all paperwork is in order and ready prior to your arrival and that your time is used efficiently.

*Available within the GTA. Two hours of dealership accompaniment is included with our services.

If you'd like additional accompaniment, it is available for an hourly fee.

To ensure you're receiving great value and to provide assurance we're working as hard as possible to get you the best deal, we operate on contingent fees. This means our fees are based on a percentage of how much money we save you on your vehicle lease or purchase. It's like an upside-down commission: the more we save you, the happier everyone is (well, except perhaps the dealership)! We never collect any money, kickbacks or commissions from dealerships as this would jeopardize your best interests. This model is preferred as we are free to facilitate the purchase or lease of vehicles from any dealership and can leverage competing offers to attain the lowest possible price on the vehicle of your choice. We don't have any cozy financial relationships with anyone. And we don't believe in them.

If you decide after our no-obligation initial consultation you'd like to proceed with our services, we will request a $250 retainer (which will be credited to any final invoice balance) in order to begin your tailored research.

It's not every day that adding a "middle man" (us!) and their services can actually save you money. But because we work on contingent fees and are able to negotiate amazing prices on your behalf, our fees are more than offset by your savings. And if you're still not convinced we can save you money, you're more than welcome to perform your own negotiations upon which we'll base our contingent fee.

"Teaming up with CarCompass was the best decision our company made when we looked at getting a leasing agreement for one of our company cars. We used to work with the big car fleet leasing companies; but they were no match compared to the excellent service and amazing deal that CarCompass negotiated with a local dealership on our behalf (we saved over 40 %!). I would strongly recommend starting your search for a new car with the friendly and professional service at CarCompass." - Frank Dempsey, Director Corporate Business Development, Dempsey Corporation

"Angus delivered everything he promises on this website. He certainly saved me money on my purchase but his services went well beyond that. He assessed my needs, then thoroughly researched the automobile market and presented me with a list of vehicles that best suited me. In short, he made sure that I got a vehicle that would meet my needs and make me happy. He relieved me of the stress of dealing with car sales people, he found me a befitting vehicle, he saved me time and money. For that, he charged what I would consider a modest fee - one well worth paying. It was a completely positive experience for me. Beyond that, Angus is friendly, well-spoken, attentive and highly professional, which made working with him like working with a friend.

I highly recommend him." - TKP

"Supported by thorough research, skilled at matching alternatives with client needs. Delivers excellent value, securing vehicle chosen at lowest reasonable cost in a highly professional manner. Follows through promptly to ensure client satisfaction." - Jerry Y.

"The process and service provided by Car Compass worked for my wife and I as it saved us time, money and got us a vehicle we are happy with." - Ray M.

"I knew the exact vehicle I wanted and solicited Car Compass' assistance in negotiating a fair price. Absolutely thrilled with the outcome. The additional savings from my negotiated best price were greater than tenfold." - John M.

"You certainly simplified the process and helped take away my indecisiveness. It just makes good business sense to have your support throughout the otherwise tedious and daunting process of a used car purchase decision!" - Paul V.

We take pride in being able to provide the best experience and results for our clients. We are always at your disposal and aim to ensure you're happy.

Here are a few excerpts of what some of our clients have to say:

Are your services available to assist me in finding a pre-owned vehicle?

Yes! Finding a pre-owned vehicle is often more challenging than finding a new one. This is because the pre-owned market is highly dynamic and covers many more models than the new car market. But we're up for the challenge! There is often great value in purchasing pre-owned.

I have a trade-in I'd like to put toward my new purchase or lease. Can you help with this?

Yes! We can take care of your trade-in and do our best to ensure you receive the maximum possible value for your vehicle.

I don't live in Toronto. Are you able to assist me?

Of course! Although we're based in Toronto, we provide our services throughout Ontario. We are able to tailor our services to your local area and ensure you're able to easily and conveniently take delivery near your home.

Do you collect contingent fees on dealer or manufacturer incentives?

No. If there are any advertised dealer or manufacturer incentives (such as cash purchase discounts), you keep all of them. Car Compass does not collect a portion of these savings as they're available to absolutely everyone and we have not negotiated these savings. We do not have any hidden fees and you will know precisely how much Car Compass earns for providing our services.

Will Car Compass be purchasing and re-selling me the vehicle I select?

No. We are not a dealership and do not buy or sell vehicles. Simply put, we facilitate the purchase between you and the dealership. You will be purchasing or leasing your vehicle directly from the selling dealership with our guidance to ensure you're fairly treated.

If I want a pre-owned vehicle, where will you search for it?

Typically we look for pre-owned vehicles for sale by manufacturer dealerships. This is because manufacturer dealerships can re-condition pre-owned vehicles to their strict mechanical and aesthetic standards. Many manufacturer dealers include certified pre-owned warranties that provide greater warranty coverage and peace of mind, and are not typically available from non-manufacturer dealers without the purchase of an extended warranty.

I already know which vehicle I want and don't require all of your services. Can you still help me get a great deal?

Absolutely! We would be thrilled to help attain a great deal for you. Please get in touch with us and we will create a reduced rate plan based on the services you require.
