Major issue
Would have been nice to have more than one dealership in the area to choose from and it would help A LOT if dealer listed would match the price given on the website.

When I tried to install the app I could not enter the password for some reason. After I tried ti use the app and when asked to input password it declined to accept it. How am I to use this app ? I thought the app was useful if it worked. Try to reinstall it but getting message “you already have account with that email address” well, yes but useless

Thank you for your review. Our service is mainly directed to those in market to buying a new vehicle. Member's, who use our services typically require assistance in doing so from CarCostCanada as well as dealerships.One of our services includes a recommended dealer feature. Dealers only reach out to our members to provide the assistance they need. Also, our members feel very comfortable as these dealers are hand-picked specially by us! The “How it Works” portion of our website advises our members that dealers will be reaching out to provide you with amazing service and the best price possible. With that being said, we are also aware that even though the dealer referral feature is beneficial, there are still members who would rather take these particular steps on their own. We have other options available for these members as well that we would be happy to discuss with you!

This membership allows our members to build two complete price reports based on the vehicle/ manufacturer of interest at no charge at all. After that, we do provide many other options to obtain additional reports or even upgrade to our expert membership which provides full access to all of the benefits of CarCostCanada. Our goal is to provide our members with as much savings as possible during such an important process which is one of the reasons why we provide a FREE membership and two free reports as well.

Hi there and thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts with us. We are disappointed to hear that there were troubles when you were attempting to sign up. The validation codes that are provided upon sign up do expire when they are not entered immediately during the sign up. We see that you did reach out to us and the support agent attempted to use the validation code you should have received but by that time, it had already expired. As of now, it looks like your account is ready to be used! We truly value our members so we will be reaching out to you shortly and hopefully we can rectify this issue for you. Thanks again for your feedback!

You get the supposed bottom line dealer price. It's impossible to know if it's accurate, but it is helpful in determining where you can start negotiating
