We all know autocompanion isn't a scam - they get their $ via broker fee and they push a lot more cars than the local guy. They also negotiates with dealers on your behalf (pre set rate for everyone) and then dealer doesn't have to pay local sales guy to sit with you for hours on end for you to not make a decision. Dealer also gets a small cut (1~2% profit) from the sale and they push more inventory leading to higher volume leading to benefits for dealer (sales / revenue $, more allocation (i think), etc.)
One the flip side, local guy's commission is based off of how much higher he can get you to pay and doesn't get that 800 broker fee separately. Has all the more reason to say that autocompanion is a scam.
