I hate car shopping to begin with but also I happened to have a very specific request and I felt it put me at a disadvantage both for finding what I wanted and being able to negotiate. Handing the whole thing over to Christian at Cartelligent was a fantastic decision. He is a great listener, totally responsive, and several times gave me good advice which I happily followed. The cost of the service was minimal compared to the peace of mind and convenience it bought me. Totally happy customer. read more

Absolutely loved working with Radi, Chuck and the rest of the Cartelligant team. I could have spent months doing the research they do in days, and still only done half as well as them to find a great deal. I am confident they saved me hundreds of dollars a month in lease payments. I will work with them again. read more

This is the third time I've bought a car through Cartelligent. Always easy. Always efficient. Always honest. Always less than what the local dealers want for the identical car. We worked with Radi and his team in Sausalito. We first wanted a 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid but discovered that the dealers loaded them up with a few extras we didn't want, so we changed our focus to a 2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid that came with the BSM (Blind Side Monitoring) standard. Radi found a dark blue one in Santa Rosa that we considered, but when we opted for a lighter blue, he just wanted us to be happy and found the perfect car in Anaheim that could be driven up here. We said that we could drive to Southern California in a rental car, drop it off at Santa Ana Airport, then Uber to Irvine to get the car. He coordinated it with Alan at that office and we drove away last Monday with our new car. Thanks again to Radi in Sausalito, Alan in Irvine, and the entire Cartelligent team for a seamless transaction. We'll be back in a few years to upgrade our other car. read more

Just picked up my new 2025 RAV 4 Hybrid. Sensational car. The best part was working with Cartelligent. No dealers or hassles. Got exactly what I wanted in just a few days. The service I was given was superb, especially my personal account executive, Vincent Denis. Vincent made it a wonderful experience. Easy and smooth - VERY PROFESSIONAL! The drive home was exhilarating. read more

I met with Christian Roettgers at Cartelligent in order to purchase a new electric BMW. Christian was super responsive, definitely procured the best price and delivered a car to my exact specifications. I had been delaying buying due to the hassle of negotiating directly with a dealer. Christian took the pain factor out of the process. Cartelligent "trained" me on the car's functions and willingly scheduled a follow up tutorial. Highly recommend them and the experience.

Where has this service been all my life? I just bought a car with the assistance of Hilary at Cartelligent and I can't see myself buying a car any other way again. I have always hated car dealerships simply because of the way they treat me. As a female, they talk down to me and disrespect me. I don't want anyone that treats me that way to get my business. Hilary was such a breathe of fresh of air! She's professional, knowledgeable, transparent, and truly wants you to get the best deal even if it means getting the car on your own. Not only did she make sure I got a fair price on the car, she made sure I got a fair price on my gap insurance as well. I learned so much from her and would recommend her to anyone. Picking up the car is such a breeze! No being held hostage in a finance office for hours. Alan walked me through all my paperwork and made sure I knew how to use my new car. He was a complete professional. Thank you for making a typically painful experience to be painless and easy. read more

First car I got ended up being a lemon (obviously no fault of Cartelligent). Casey made sure I knew exactly how to document everything to make the return process with the manufacturer smooth and then helped me get a new car (different model...) within a week. Still the only way I'll buy/lease a car from now on read more

We worked with Zach and Jonathan at Cartillegent to help us track down a new model that is currently in high demand, and they were able to quickly find just the one we wanted at a great deal, saving us a bunch of time and money. They're great ... I highly recommend working with them, this is what the car buying experience should be. read more

I keep coming back to Cartelligent after more than a decade as a client and realize this is the only way to go. If you are tired of hassles, shady dealing, dealer mark ups and all the rest of the BS you get going to a dealer than Cartelligent is for you. This is a concierge car buying service that makes your life easier and saves you time. This time we special ordered a Mini Countryman John Cooper Works direct from the factory. Christian took my order, keep me posted on the progress, and made it a breeze to pick the car up. David the CEO even stopped by during the delivery to make sure everything was going well. I send EVERYONE I know buying a new car to Cartelligent, you should go too. read more

I have always purchased my vehicles cash and at the dealerships. One of my friends always goes through Casey Grissom, Account Executive with Cartelligent, Sausalito who researches and locates the vehicle requested. Casey does all the paperwork and makes delivery arrangements. I asked for my Toyota Crown Signia to be delivered to my home and a date/time was given and a total price. Ricardo from Cartelligent arrived with my beautiful car. He spent time introducing me to all the basic accessories and dash board. taking time for every question. The sale contract and paper work took 45 minutes. In the future I have decided never to buy through a dealership again. Casey even gave me a local contact Chris who could help to install handle and door protectors. It turned out Chris was a mile from me and offerred to come to my house and do the work. Chris even put on a screen protector and tinted my windows. What an amazing team!!! I don't know how to do pictures, but she a beauty!!! read more

I had an outstanding experience with Cartelligent. Ethan was always ready to answer a question, knowledgeable, forthright, helped me narrow down my choices to hone in on the car I wanted, and found exactly that car. I would highly recommend working with them. read more

It was a seamless experience from beginning to end. The fee is worth the amount of money saved alone but Christian's professionalism and approachable manner is what makes Cartelligent such a good company to worth with. Their communication is second to none and will do their due diligence to find you what you need and answer all of your questions. I will definitely use this service from now on when buying a car. read more

My experience with Marco at Cartelligent could not have been better. After close to a year of researching and considering my alternatives, I spent several months test driving and getting "sold to" at dealerships. The dealership experience got exhausting quickly. Occasionally a sales person that was interested in having me take what's available in this market of limited supply would use that scarcity marketing tactic. No thanks. My experience with Marco was focused on what I wanted and needed for my driving needs within my budget, and his communication throughout the process was excellent. The customer service surpassed my expectations there. He gave me options, kept me in the loop, and checked in as necessary during my build process. He's been approachable and willing to answer all of my questions, or go find the answers from the start, with none of the hassle of being "sold to." And of course, I got the right AWD hybrid for my needs. That's the real value here. If you know what you want and you don't want to deal with the very broken dealership process to buy a car here in the U.S., this makes the process smooth and easy. read more

Christian, Ricardo and the entire team at Cartelligent are great to work with. I've purchased two vehicles through them and both experiences were very positive. Despite being difficult times in the car market, with vehicle shortages and often exuberant "market adjustment fees" by the dealers, they've been able to find me the vehicles I wanted at fair prices; even searching out of state when required. They handled all the dealer communication, paperwork, and delivery. It was a much more satisfying experience than any I've had when dealing directly with dealers. I plan to use Cartelligent again in the future and would recommend that you do too. read more

Best car-buying experience ever! I've now bought/leased three cars through Cartelligent and wouldn't go anywhere else. This last time, Michelle helped me, and her white-glove service was unbeatable. I gave her the specs for the car I wanted, and not only did she find it quickly, but she also got me an incredible deal. No dealership haggling--just one straightforward price. I showed up, signed some paperwork, and drove off with my car. Truly exceptional. Thanks, Michelle and the team! read more

Just had a great car buying experience with Cartelligent. Super helpful and communicative right through the process. Helped negotiate the price with a small discount when this manufacturer'r dealers generally has few discounts (that too only for long standing customers). Followed up on order lock in all the way through to arrival at dealership. Then helped to get the paperwork signed all online. Finally worked to get the car delivered to our home. One small gripe - I was expecting the car to be brought home on a flatbed but it was driven 60 miles from their local office. I was expecting flatbed delivery even more so given this was a luxury car worth 150k. Every other part of the service was 5 star though Will definitely use them again in future. read more

I had 2 referrals to this cartelligent office from friends so I was excited to work with them. My initial phone calls with Chris Miller were great. It went downhill after I agreed to work with them and submitted my $500 payment. I'm now going to seek a refund. Two Friday's ago, Chris promised (verbally) that he would get back to me with quotes the next week on the specific car I'm looking for, once I complete the payment on Monday. The entire week goes by without a phone call or email. Today I sent an email asking if there's an update. I get an automatic out of office reply. Chris failed to mention that he is planning to be on vacation for the entire week. I had stated in my initial contact message and on the phone that I'm looking to purchase a car within the next few weeks, so he should be aware that not transferring me to a coworker is unacceptable. Does he think it's ok to leave new customers hanging like that without a response for 2 weeks after signing a contract? Finally I called their primary number and was transferred twice (fine) and eventually asked to work with Cassie. The woman on the phone promised that Cassie would call back in the next 30 minutes. She did not. I received and missed her phone call 2 hours later when I was unavailable. UPDATE: Doug, one of the managers, personally reached out to me via phone and email to rectify the situation. While I chose to get a refund, I appreciate how he handled the situation. read more

I rarely review but had such an amazing experience I wanted to take the time to pass on the kudos. From my first meeting with Ethan I felt I made the right choice to use Cartelligent. He was very friendly and engaging. He assured me the process would be easy and fun. He also let me know he could get me a better deal than I had from the dealer. Within 2 days he "crushed" it. He was attentive and patient and answered all my questions. Chuck in Walnut Creek was also so friendly and helpful introducing me to my new car. I highly recommend Cartelligent and will definitely use them again. read more

Cartelligent - My new Kia EV9. Thanks Cartelligent!! - Car Dealers Near Me - Sausalito, California

I am now a customer for life! Cassie turned my long, drawn-out saga of trying to purchase my new car into a seamless experience. Back story: I tried to order a new car in January for a lease ending in June - should be easy, right?? After delays, runaround and a variety of sleazy car salesmen, a friend recommended Cartelligent and what a life saver! Cassie made the whole process so easy and kept me informed every step of the way. When my car finally arrived from the factory, and there was a stop-sale, she kept in constant contact with the dealership and made sure my car was at the top of the list for repair when the car came in. Also, a big shout-out to Jonathan for making the pick-up process quick and painless too! When have you ever been able to get through turning in an old car and signing paperwork for the new one in 45 minutes??? THANK YOU!!! read more

We recently had twins and needed a car upgrade big enough to transport them (and so much new stuff, hah) around in. We were dreading the process of going to a lot of dealers and finding the right car, particularly since getting out of the house with a couple newborns is one of the harder things we've ever had to do. Cartelligent made it SO easy. I'd like to specifically call out Zachary who was friendly, super efficient and found us exactly the car we wanted at a great price. I also really appreciate Jonathan who helped us with the delivery of our new beautiful car. It's perfect for the family and I could not recommend the Cartelligent service any more highly! read more

This was truly the best car buying/leasing experience of my life. They made it so easy and stress-free. I worked with Hilary Brophy, and we had so much fun finding the perfect car for me. I didn't have to negotiate with anyone, I never felt like I was getting a bad deal, and I really enjoyed the entire process of getting a new car... that's how it was supposed to be!!! I want to enjoy and be excited about getting my new car, and Cartelligent made that possible. I will never buy/lease a car on my own again. Such an excellent service... seriously, I can't say enough. Absolutely worth it. AND the icing on the cake, they brought my new car to my house and took my old lease back for me. The entire process couldn't have been easier or more convenient. read more

Loved working with Ethan. Very knowledgeable about all the cars; and I mean...all the cars! Supportive and understanding of our discombobulated approach to purchasing or leasing a vehicle as well. read more

For over a month I'd been dealing with local dealerships that couldn't find a specific car I was looking for, and even sold the model to another customer while I was in the process of completing the documents. I then reached out to Christian Roettgers and he was able to find the car I was looking for, and get everything completed in a few days. This is how the car purchasing process should go, and working with Christian was an absolute pleasure. read more

I wanted buying a car to be easy, and Cartelligent delivered! We knew what car we wanted, but it was difficult to find a dealer that had the right one (color, trim, options, etc) available. Plus my experience with a dealer has ranged from negative to terrible. I want to just click a button and buy a car. I emailed Chuck from Cartelligent what we wanted (must haves, nice-to-haves), and two days later he had two options. It arrived two weeks later, and we signed most of the paperwork electronically. Zero interactions with the dealer, which is exactly what we wanted. Plus, it was $2k under MSRP, with 0.9% APR. Perfect. I'll never go back to talking to a dealer, this was so much easier. read more

The lease on my Model 3 was coming to an end, but the car I truly wanted, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited was impossible to find. After being let down multiple times by a dealer who said they'd reach out to me, I discovered Cartelligent. I worked with Hilary who not only found the exact model, color, and trim I wanted, she even found a cheaper price on it after shipment of the first car was delayed. She kept me informed every step of the way and always had multiple options in her back pocket should my patience run out on the color I wanted. She quickly answered my questions, kept me updated on the progress of my new car's arrival, and how the process would go at pickup time. She was incredibly friendly and just as excited as I was when the day finally came. Jonathan greeted me at the pickup office with a giant red bow on the car. He helped me with all the paperwork, answered my questions, and went over all the equipment and details of the car. The whole paperwork process lasted 15 minutes and the rest was us just pushing buttons and admiring the car's craftsmanship and design. Overall, this was the best car buying experience I've ever had and was absolutely worth the modest price of the service. read more

Great experience working with Christian Roettgers at Cartelligent. Dealer wouldn't budge on price, but Christian was able to secure a substantial discount and handle it all without hassle. This is my fourth car purchase through these guys and won't go back to buying direct. read more

Worked with Casey to buy the car I wanted, my first car, in late 2021. He gave me honest assessments of different vehicles and payment methods; he never tried to sell me anything. He made a normally very difficult process very easy. He went above and beyond, and got me the car I wanted, and quickly. I always tell anyone I know who's buying a car to call them, and Casey in particular. As problems have arisen, I've reached out to him. He's been incredibly helpful and responsive, all this time later. It's comforting and remarkable. I'm grateful. read more

Used this service for almost 15yrs now and numerous vehicles. They make it so easy. Excellent customer service, great value proposition, can't imagine buying or leasing or trade-in a vehicle any other way once you discover them. Christian and team is awesome and my first call anytime for vehicle needs. read more

I worked with Stephen P. and I'm so glad I did. The process from start to finish was seamless. I was nervous because I didn't want to deal with hassle of leasing a car since I'd never done it before. I will be calling Stephen again I'm sure. Highly recommend him. read more

I've worked with Cartelligent a couple of times now and my experience has been very positive. I worked with Cassie Shikano who helped find the car with the exact specifications I wanted and also negotiated a good price with the dealership. She was quick to respond on phone and email and patiently answered all my questions. The car was an in transit vehicle at the dealership but Cassie ensured I was kept up to date with the progress and had some pre paperwork done ahead of time. The delivery was scheduled at a convenient time at their Menlo Park office where Jonathan Chan helped complete the paperwork and ensured a hassle free pickup experience. Post the car delivery, Cassie followed up to check if everything was going fine. I reached out to her for a post sales issue and she was promptly able to work with the dealership to resolve the problem within a day. I really appreciated this part where the quality of service was great post sale too. Overall, it was great working with Cassie and Cartelligent and would highly recommend to anyone looking for an hassle free car buying experience with excellent customer service. read more

We've bought, traded in and now leased a car through Cartelligent. They are so patient, easy to work with and knowledgeable. Totally worth the fee! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Cartelligent. I contacted them at the recommendation of my parents, who purchased their new car through the company and worked with Aaron in December last year. Their process was so smooth, despite challenges with car supply at the time. Aaron came recommended to us by a family friend, who worked with Aaron at the recommendation of his son who also worked with Aaron and Cartelligent. So you can see there's a record of success here! Aaron made the process as painless as possible (which is really saying something, as car buying, in my experience, especially as a woman, can be challenging) and did a fantastic job getting me the car that I wanted at a price that worked for me. It's also the first time I'm leasing a car (rather than buying), so Aaron explained the leasing process to me and answered a lot of questions with patience and humor (which I so appreciated). Jonathan worked with me to pick up my car and was a delight. He showed me around my new car and helped me connect to and start using the company's app on my phone. He was quick and efficient while also being patient and kind as we worked through all the buttons and technology. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Cartelligent, Aaron Braverman, and Jonathan Chan. These are the people you want to work with during a process that can be frustrating and difficult. They make it easy and pleasurable and completely bypass the challenges of car buying/leasing. 10/10, no notes! read more

Zach made our car buying experience a pleasure. He found the exact vehicle we wanted at a great price. The entire crew at Carteligent are very professional. I would not hesitate to buy another vehicle from them. read more

My husband and I had a great experience working with Ethan Sparrow. When we first initially reached out it was around the holiday season so it was difficult finding time to car shop. Months later and after shopping at several dealerships we reached back out to Ethan directly and he helped us out without hesitation. He scheduled a phone appointment within a few days and during that call he listened to all that we were looking for in a new car including our budget. He was very communicative and gave us options. With his help we found a new car within a month. He made the process so easy and painless. He even followed up after we picked up our new car to make sure we were happy and satisfied with the car. I'd recommend this company especially agent Ethan to anyone looking for a car in the future. read more

Christian negotiated a competitive price for the purchase of new car. I recommend using Christian @ Cartelligent. read more

Cassie and Dylan lovely people! We got a great deal on a car very smooth and fast process, stress free! Highly recommended read more

I've used Cartelligent for the last three cars I've leased, and the entire process from start to finish couldn't have been easier and stress-free. I've gotten great car deals without the hassle of dealing with the dealership. Highly recommended! read more

Cartelligent made car buying easy and efficient. Christian was so wonderful to work with especially when we hadn't made up our minds what vehicle we would purchase next. His suggestions led us to find the perfect car. Christian is patient, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He found us our car with all the features we were looking for and we couldn't be happier. And to top it off, our new car was delivered to our home by Jonathan who provided a thorough tutorial on the car features and had us sign the documents in under 30 minutes. He even took our previously leased car to deliver it back to the dealership. I can't imagine the experience being any more seamless. If you are in the market for a new car, I highly recommend Christian and the team at Cartelligent! It will save you time, money and worry. read more

Ethan made our experience at Cartelligent easy and fun! We were in the market for a new EV and were newbies to the EV market. Ethan is a great, patient teacher who genuinely loves helping people. We're now happy EV6 (Wind) drivers thanks to Ethan showing us how to get the most bang for our buck. I definitely recommend Ethan and Cartelligent if you're looking for a new car. Thanks guys! read more

This was my first (and will be my last) buying experience thru Cartelligent. I had heard the they delivered the car you want, at the best price, with high touch service. That was not at all what I got. It was the car, but I am not sure it was the best deal, but the reason for this rating was the poor service I received at every step along the process. Once my car was located, I was passed off to the dealership to do the paperwork with someone I had never met. It was so impersonal and so transactional. I had no direct contact with the Cartelligent salesperson (Aaron) for the deal or instructions on the close. I was pressure sold a service package by a salesman with a dealership I will never see. I sent an electronic downpayment and that was it. No appreciation at all. What a letdown of a luxury car purchase. Then there was the delivery experience. It was awful. The car was a day late and the guy who delivered it knew less than nothing about the car. I got no orientation, no help with the tech (that still doesn't work), no help at all, and absolutely no thank you for leasing a car. So unprofessional. Another big let down. I reached out the the Cartelligent sales person about getting the tech fixed. He then passed me off again the the dealership where an assistant called me to try and help but just made it all worse. It was a series of really poor customer service experiences. I never heard from the dealership again. They just took my money and left me very dissappointed. Bottom line, I hold Cartelligent responsible for my terrible experience. I really wish I had gone directly to my local dealership and leased the car directly with the people I will now go to for service. Cartelligent did not deliver any added value for me, just the opposite. The worst car lease expereince I have ever had. I cannot recommend Cartelligent at all. read more
