Car Buying Service

Partner With Us Today

When your clients want to buy a new car, the last thing they want to do is compare costs at multiple dealerships and negotiate with car salespeople.

With our car buying service, you can help them take the guesswork out of the equation, providing the convenience, choice and flexibility they need to make a great decision. Thanks to our sister company Fleet Avenue, we take the hassle out of car buying by reaching out to our 1,300+ fleet dealers nation-wide. We then access exclusive discounted pricing, arrange the finance through their broker and lock down the best possible deal for your clients. Throw in independent car advice from our expert consultants, trade-in advice and quotes and a highly personalised service and they’ll never buy from a dealership again.

It’s as easy as:

Identify – Your clients let us know what kind of car they’re after
Search – We research, tender and locate the best option, unlocking exclusive discounted pricing
Negotiate – Our experienced consultants lock down the best possible deal
Deliver – We deliver your client’s brand new ride direct to their door with a full tank of fuel and floor mats – deal done!
