What it does, and what it does not

It explains the document

Each line in the dealer’s own words: what that kind of charge usually is, and a question you can ask about it. It keeps three numbers apart that are easy to mix up: the out-the-door price, the amount financed, and the total of your scheduled payments.

It checks the arithmetic

We rebuild the totals from the quote’s own lines, using the taxes printed on the quote. Any gap is shown with the calculation. Figures we calculate are always labelled as calculated. A figure you could not confirm stays unknown, never zero.

It does not judge the deal

It does not value the car or judge its quality, say whether a price or fee is fair, give legal or tax advice, promise savings, or tell you which deal to take. A gap in the arithmetic can be an honest mistake; it is a question to ask, not an accusation.

Your documents stay yours

Cover your name, address, phone and account numbers before you upload. Your photo or PDF is read once and not stored. We keep only the figures and the reports, visible to your account alone, for 30 days or until you delete them. Privacy details

Free preview: upload a quote, confirm the figures and see what we found before you pay. Included with the 30-day pass ($12.99): one dealer-quote review per pass, either one quote explained or two quotes compared. Adding a second quote to the same review, fixing figures afterwards and drafting replies are free. Failed uploads and retries never use it up.
