AI Negotiator vs Concierge
Dealer outreach & negotiation
Contacts dealers on your behalf
We reach out first; your phone number never reaches the dealer.
Negotiates OTD target pricing
Out-the-door price including fees and taxes, not just sticker.
Strips junk fees & add-ons
Pushes back on $2K+ in doc fees, paint protection, and nitrogen-fill games.
Parallel-negotiates multiple dealers
Multiple stores compete for your deal at the same time.
Counters & follow-ups
Pushes back on lowball offers and works dealers against each other until they sharpen their pencils.
Human expertise
Dedicated human expert on your deal
A named 20-year pro who owns the deal end to end.
Handles dealer phone calls
AI works over messages. Concierge picks up the phone when it matters.
Direct Q&A with your expert
Ask CarEdge handles general questions for AI deals. Concierge gets you a human on demand.
Test-drive coordination
AI books the appointment via email. Concierge calls the store and confirms with you.
Paperwork review
AI flags junk fees and odd line items. Concierge reads every page before you sign.
Delivery & pickup logistics
AI coordinates over email. Concierge books delivery, shipping, or dealer pickup end-to-end.
Speed & availability
Time to first update
AI pings dealers instantly. Concierge contacts dealers after a brief intake call.
Nights & weekends
AI runs 24/7. Concierge negotiates when dealers are actually at the desk.
Autopilot mode
AI can run the deal without approvals until you're ready.
You approve each offer
Concierge never commits without a green light.

Why CarEdge
Built by people who came from the industry. Run by consumer advocates who've spent decades on the dealer's side of the desk and now want to even the score for buyers.
You pay us up front. No commissions, no kickbacks, no money tied to your specific deal. Your fee is the only number on the line.
Buying or leasing, new or used, any make or model. Our AI and our concierges handle them all, even trade-ins, fleet orders, and out-of-state purchases.
Actual invoice pricing, target discounts, market days supply, and OTD estimates on every listing. Not a made-up “deal score”: the same data the dealer is already pricing against you with.
Approve every offer, pause anytime, change direction. We move fast but never commit without your green light.
We use an email alias and a dedicated phone number. Dealers never see yours. The calls and texts stop the moment you sign up.
200+ years of dealership experience on our team, six years in business, and over 100,000 completed negotiations.
Meet the team
20+ years in the business, on average. Every CarEdge concierge spent decades inside dealerships. They know every line on the OTD sheet. Now they use that knowledge for you.

“43 years inside dealerships. Now on your side of the desk.”

“Delivering dreams to driveways for decades.”

“Let me negotiate your next car — because landing a great deal is what I do.”

“Turning empathy into action — advocating for you every step of the way.”

“Life is too short to drive boring cars.”

“Let us get you rolling down the streets of SUCCESS.”

“Real talk. No pressure. Just smart car buying.”

“You are never alone in this process — we walk with you every step of the way.”

“Expert guidance. Honest advice. A better car buying experience.”

“Insider Knowledge. Expert Guidance. Better Deals. I've Spent 17 Years in the Car Business--Now I Work For You!”

“I'll handle the hard part so you can handle the fun part.”

Built by Ray & Zach Shefska
Ray spent 40 years on a dealership floor: salesperson, finance manager, sales manager, all the way up to general manager. Zach grew up in it. Six years ago, we started CarEdge and a YouTube channel to teach buyers what dealers won't. Over a billion views later, across every major platform, we kept hearing the same thing: “I just wish someone I trusted could do this for me.”
That's CarEdge. The expert friend on the inside, backed by data, AI, and a team of humans who've seen every trick.
