FAQ
Straight answers. No invented volume stats.
- What does a California auto broker actually do?
- We represent you, not a single store. Dealers negotiate every day; you buy every few years. You tell us the vehicle. We get real numbers, structure the lease or loan, and handle the back-and-forth so you save money and keep your time.
- Where are you licensed?
- California DMV autobroker license #72394. Desk at 6600 Jurupa Ave #127, Riverside, CA 92504. We work Southern California first: Riverside, the Inland Empire, Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego.
- How do I start?
- Text (714) 471-8775 or submit a vehicle request. Make, model, trim, new or used, lease or finance, ZIP, trade, credit tier, down payment. The vehicle request does not ask for SSN. The official credit application is a separate form.
- Will you store my Social Security number?
- On the vehicle request, no. The official credit application asks for it so a lender can review you. A lender pull may appear on your credit file. Details are on the Privacy page.
- Can you help with negative equity?
- Yes. Send the payoff and a realistic value. Rolling negative equity is math, not a pep talk. Sometimes the next car can carry it. Sometimes it should not.
- Do you do used, luxury, and exotic?
- Yes. New, used, luxury, exotic, plus trade-ins. If the unit exists at a dealer we can work, we will hunt it. If it does not, we will say so.
- Is there a fee?
- Broker compensation depends on the deal and is disclosed before you commit. We do not publish a fake 'we are free' line to hide the structure, and we do not post a public price list.
- Do you deliver the car?
- Usually you pick it up at the selling dealer. When that dealer will deliver, we prefer that. Greenlight does not transport cars.
- How fast is delivery?
- It depends on the car, the lender, and the dealer. Same-week happens. So does 'the truck is not here yet.' We will not invent a 48-hour promise on a page.
