We are here to make sure everyone gets a fair deal without second-guessing. Our mission is simple: put the power in the car buyer's hands. We empower you as a consumer.
Car Deal Advocate is a free, consumer-first advocacy service.
We never charge you for your Certified Trade-In Truth Report or our Payment Finder.
Your information is never sold to third-party data brokers or advertisers.
We exist to level the playing field between car buyers and dealerships.
Car Deal Advocate ("CDA", "we", "us") is a consumer advocacy platform operating in the United States and Canada. We provide free tools — including the Certified Trade-In Truth Report and the Payment Finder — to help everyday car buyers and sellers make informed decisions without being taken advantage of.
We are not a dealership, lender, or financial institution. We do not buy or sell vehicles. We do not arrange financing. We are on your side.
All Car Deal Advocate tools are provided free of charge to consumers. There is no subscription, no hidden fee, and no catch. Our services include:
Car Deal Advocate is a consumer advocacy service — not a dealership, lender, or manufacturer affiliate. We work for you and only you.
After you receive your report or payment estimate, a member of the CDA team may follow up via phone, text, or email to help you understand your results, answer questions, or point you toward resources that support a fair deal. This is advocacy support — not a sales call.
You are never obligated to respond, and you can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any text message or contacting us at [email protected].
A note from Jack, our lead advocate: “We built this because car buyers deserve the same data the dealer has. If you ever have questions about your report or want help using your numbers at the dealership, just reach out. We’re on your side.”
When you use our services, you provide basic contact information (name, email, phone) and vehicle details. This information is used solely to:
We do not sell your personal information to third-party data brokers, advertisers, or any other party. We take your privacy seriously and handle your data in accordance with applicable privacy laws in the United States and Canada.
Our Certified Trade-In Truth Report is based on live market data and comparable vehicle listings in your area. It is designed to give you an accurate picture of what your vehicle is worth in the current market. However, final trade-in values are determined by the purchasing dealership and may vary based on physical inspection, local demand, and other factors.
Our Payment Finder estimates are planning guides only and are not guaranteed financing rates. Actual loan terms depend on your lender, full credit profile, vehicle details, and current market conditions. Car Deal Advocate is not a lender and does not arrange or guarantee financing.
Using any Car Deal Advocate service creates no obligation on your part. You are never required to respond to dealer outreach, accept any offer, or complete any transaction. Our goal is simply to make sure you have the information and support you need to make the best decision for yourself.
You may opt out of CDA team follow-up at any time by replying STOP to any text message, emailing us, or using the support form on our website. We will process your request promptly.
For questions, concerns, or opt-out requests, please visit our Support page.
We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. When we do, we will update the date below. Continued use of our services after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

Car Deal Advocate exists for one reason: to make sure you never walk away from a car deal feeling like you got taken advantage of. Every tool we build, every certified dealer we partner with, and every report we generate is in service of that mission.
