How our car buying service works.
Steer Me Right is a car buying and negotiation service in Austin that works with buyers nationwide. You pick a plan and tell us the car. We search and negotiate, and you decide whether to buy. See what a car buying service can handle.
- 01
Pick your plan.
Choose Steer Me Right if you know the car you want, or Steer Me Right Pro if you’re torn between up to three models. Pay securely with Stripe.
- 02
Tell us the car.
Right after checkout, tell us the kind of car you need, your car-price budget and where you are. No exact model required. Mason replies within one business day to confirm the search and when it starts.
- 03
We do the legwork. You decide.
We search, contact dealers, compare offers and negotiate. You review the car, the deal and the paperwork, and the decision to buy is yours.
Two plans.
$395 or $695.

You know the car you want. One advisor finds it, works the dealers and handles the haggling.

How to evaluate the fee
Think about what you want off your plate: finding the car, comparing quotes, or arguing with dealers about price and fees. The $395 Steer Me Right plan covers one model; $695 Steer Me Right Pro covers up to three. Either way, you still choose the car and arrange the inspection, financing, insurance and signing.
We work remotely, so there’s no office to visit. Which dealers respond, what’s in stock and how the car gets to you all vary, and your advisor will confirm them for your search.
Steer Me Right does not promise a specific discount, time saving, vehicle outcome, loan approval, interest rate, or return on the fee. Ask us what you’ll get, what happens if your search changes, and which costs stay with you.
Compensation and independence disclosure
Steer Me Right does not take commissions, kickbacks, or other payments from dealers or sellers. You pay the service fee, and you decide whether to buy.
