Orange County · Los Angeles · Inland Empire · Southern CaliforniaA better use of your time
Buying the car is exciting. Buying the car usually isn’t.
Inventory searches, callbacks, quotes presented five different ways, lease comparisons, trade discussions, add-ons and dealership coordination can turn one decision into an entire weekend.
Simplified Auto takes on much of that workload, while you stay in control of the vehicle and the final decision.

Common questions
Know what the service does — and what it doesn’t.
What does an auto broker do?
An auto broker works on the buyer’s behalf to help select and source vehicles, communicate with dealerships, compare opportunities, negotiate and coordinate transaction details. The selling dealership remains the vehicle seller.
How much does Simplified Auto cost?
The standard full-service car buying service starts at $549. Specialty and unusually complex searches are custom quoted before work begins.
Can you help with a lease or used vehicle?
Yes. Simplified Auto can assist with new purchases, leases and used vehicles, including transaction structure and proposal review.
Do you finance, sell or deliver vehicles?
No. The dealer sells the vehicle and a lender provides financing when applicable. Simplified Auto can review numbers and coordinate dealer or third-party delivery arrangements, but never drives or transports customer vehicles.
What areas do you serve?
Simplified Auto primarily serves Orange County, Los Angeles, the Inland Empire and customers throughout Southern California.
