The dealer has a team. Now you have one too.
Tavo requests real out-the-door pricing, reviews the fees, add-ons, trade, and financing behind the payment, and explains why a deal is recommended. You approve every negotiation or dealer message before it is sent.
Recommendations are based on buyer value, not dealer compensation.
Car buying isn't hard. It's lopsided.
Buying a car is one of the largest purchases most people make, and it's the only one where the other side has more information and negotiates for a living.
They know the numbers. You don't.
The dealership knows the incentives, the lender buy rate, and the margin on every add-on. You get a monthly payment and a pen.
The price you see isn't the price you pay.
Doc fees, dealer packages, required add-ons, market adjustments. The advertised number is a starting point, not a total.
The pressure is the product.
Hours in a chair, one manager at a time, a deal that expires today. Fatigue is a negotiating tactic and it works.
Tavo evens the table before you ever walk in.
One side of the table. Yours.
Most car-buying tools are built around dealer relationships. Tavo is built around the buyer's outcome, and every recommendation comes with the reasoning behind it.
- Your contact details are passed to dealerships as a sales lead
- Quotes arrive as monthly payments instead of itemized totals
- Add-ons and fees surface late, close to signing
- Nobody reviews the paperwork on your behalf
- No one explains why one offer is better than another
- Tavo works for the buyer
- Recommendations are based on buyer value, not dealer compensation
- Every quote is broken into price, fees, taxes, add-ons, trade, and financing
- Required add-ons are flagged and questioned in writing
- We explain why a deal is recommended, in plain language
You stay in control. Tavo does the work.
Five steps. You approve all of them.
- Step 1
Tell Tavo what you need
Share your vehicle preferences, budget, location, trade-in information, financing goals, must-have features, and deal breakers.
- Step 2
Tavo searches the market
Tavo identifies matching vehicles and filters out poor matches, unclear pricing, excessive fees, and listings that do not fit your goals.
- Step 3
Tavo gets real out-the-door pricing
Tavo requests the selling price, dealer fees, taxes, registration, required add-ons, dealer packages, and total out-the-door amount.
- Step 4
You review and approve
Tavo explains the strongest options, red flags, and proposed negotiation strategy. Nothing is sent without the buyer's approval.
- Step 5
Tavo helps finalize the best option
Tavo helps confirm the numbers, coordinate the appointment, and prepare the buyer for the dealership visit.
Not a mysterious AI number. Separate categories you can read.
Deal Score™ is the analysis result of a Deal Check. Instead of one unexplained rating, the review is broken into categories so you can see exactly which part of the deal is working and which part is not.

Sample dealer quote · Phoenix, AZ
How the selling price compares with similar vehicles listed and sold nearby.
Doc fees, dealer packages, and market adjustments compared with what is typical in your state.
Products bundled into the deal that you did not request, and whether they can usually be removed.
Rate, term, monthly payment, and total amount financed compared with the payment you were aiming for.
Trade allowance and payoff, and the resulting equity or negative equity rolled into the deal.
Whether the dealership gave a full itemized out-the-door total or left figures unanswered.
A summary view of the categories above, so you can see the whole deal in one place.
Automatic, repeatable scoring is an upcoming enhancement. Today a Deal Check reviews your deal across these categories using the information you submit.
