Heidi is indeed amazing, and it was fantastic working with her. I bought two cars with her help, within two weeks of meeting with her and would whole heartedly recommend here. Not only is she knowledgeable, efficient, well-connected and informed, she is also a wonderful person. She is a great friend of the family now, and I would not hesitate to reach out to her for any of my auto needs in the future. I moved back to the USA after 15 years and was dreading having to deal with dealers and all of the hassles of negotiating - yet I needed to buy a couple of cars soon for me and the family (and we have two dogs too). In fact, I had a hard time already with a couple of dealers who would not allow me to test drive their cars as I did not have an insurance yet (and I couldn't get one without first owning a car). A close friend connected me with Heidi - and it was just an amazing experience. I bought a Subaru Forrester and a Lexus RX 350 in a matter of days - way before I could buy stuff like furniture and other essentials - LOL! I had heard that Heidi just needs to know the type of car you want as the starting point. However, in my case she was very helpful in even guiding me to what might work for me. And to get out of my predicament of not being allowed to test drive at the dealership, she even let me drive her Subaru and suggested that I let dogs there too - that was just so nice of her (and I realize she can't possibly be doing this for all - but I write this to just highlight what a wonderful person she is). Once I finalized the Subaru model/color I wanted, she located the car in no time and there I was with a brand new 2015 Subaru Forester and what a great feeling it was. Buying the next one was even easier. I just told her what I wanted, and next day she had located the car - this time in Spokane and in a few more days i had that one too - it truly was an amazing experience (In fact, I reflected that any major buying needs this experience and I asked Heidi - hey, do you know of any "Amazing Furniture Women?" ;-). Heidi provided great advice on extras and service warranties to consider or not to consider. She explained the pros and cons and that was so helpful. I simply followed her advice and feel very comfortable with the options I got and the prices for them. Heidi is also very meticulous in following through on all of the details - she caught an inadvertent charge that was included and worked with the dealer to back that out - I wouldn't have noticed it myself. I found that the dealers have great regards for Heidi and she seems to have more experience and knowledge on deals and prices than they did! Just seeing this was a great comfort feeling to have. The day after the Lexus was delivered, Heidi left to attend a family emergency. Even when she was out, she reached out to me checking on my experience and whether the extra options were delivered up on or not. I was sorry to read that Ankit did not have a good experience - not sure what happened there, but perhaps he just had to meet her once. My experience with her before, during, and after buying the car has been way above and beyond anything I would have expected. I think I am set on the auto front for a few years, but I know that I and my family will be in touch with her as friends - she is such a pleasant and genuine person too. All the best to the "Amazing Autowoman" read more

First let me say that I wish there was a way to give Heidi 10 stars, I really do. My husband and I live in a small, mountain community. The terrain here is tough: most automobiles find they have met their match when confronted with the deep snow, rough roads and numerous animals common to our rural environment. For safety's sake we knew we needed to upgrade our '94 4Runner and had spent the good part of a year researching vehicles and saving for our purchase. We were happy to find what we considered the perfect car for us - a true on/off road hybrid from a brand we trusted and in a color we loved - a 2015 Toyota TRD Pro 4Runner in Inferno Red. The hard part was over, right? We had saved enough to buy in cash and AGREED on the vehicle we wanted... all we had to do now was buy it... Oh, no. How innocent we were. Apparently we had landed upon one of the most popular 2015 models. To boot, Toyota had only built 1000 in Inferno Red and were doling them out piece by piece. When calling dealers to see when they might be receiving inventory, we discovered most had pre-sold every single 2015 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro the manufacturer had allotted them for the entire year. When we were able to find a dealer that was willing to negotiate, the experience was one of the worst we had ever had, so bad that we decided to walk out in the middle of it. We thought we were going to have to reevaluate our plan and look for a different option. A friend suggested we contact Heidi before we gave up. We had never used a private auto dealer before and thought only "city folk" used services like that. Boy, were we glad we gave Heidi a call, she is a professional miracle worker! Heidi is: HONEST: She told us the truth about everything - from the vehicle cost to the fact that she might not be able to help us. PROFESSIONAL: From day one we knew when Heidi said she would call us with info, she would call us. She kept us up to date with everything going on in the negotiations. CONNECTED: Without Heidi's connections, we would not own the vehicle we had so carefully chosen and saved for. CARING: Not only did Heidi take care of us, but she made sure that the manufacturer dealer she was working with was cared for as well. She was careful to make sure that the entire deal was a win for both parties. TRUSTWORTHY: See above. Furthermore, close friends sang her praises. We soon joined in the chorus. FLEXIBLE: We live far away from the Seattle area. Additionally, the manufacturer dealer we purchased from was also quite far from Seattle. Heidi made sure that the transaction was easy for both of us. COST EFFECTIVE: In our case, working with Heidi was less costly than working with the previous dealer (the bad experience noted above) would have been. CALMING: You call Heidi, she gets you the car. Simple. No Excedrin necessary! AMAZING!!: We now own a car that - until working with Heidi - was impossible for us to get. We will never, never negotiate on our own again. Heidi, you have customers for life in us and we will do our best to spread the word! Thank you for helping our family get our hands on a safe, highly visible vehicle that will easily take us through (or over) anything nature throws in our path! read more

We just purchased a new 2016 Honda Pilot through Heidi. What a great experience! Prior to contacting Heidi, we tried for several months to purchase this vehicle from two different Honda dealers (Marysville and Everett). The dealers seemed to have little interest in returning calls, providing consistent information or frankly in making a sale. After multiple bizarre interactions with Honda salespeople we were ready to give up and buy a Toyota Highlander (our second choice). Then a friend told us about Heidi. I'll admit I was a bit suspicious about the whole process as it seemed too easy. But I did some background checking and Heidi is legit. She has a great online and personal reputation. Heidi acts as a buyer's agent and it's nice to have someone on your side. No dealing with slimy dealers. Here's how it works: For our transaction, I simply told Heidi the exact car I wanted (model trim, options and color). She hunted around with her dealer contacts and gave me the best price she could find. If you agree on the price, she begins the paperwork and sets up a date for delivery of the vehicle to you. No contract to sign and you don't pay any money to anyone until she shows up to your home/work with the car you requested. You look over the car, make sure everything is correct and then sign the paperwork. You then write a check to Heidi for her fee and a second check to the dealer for the car. Done. Absolutely painless. Heidi does not work on commission and charges a very reasonable flat rate for her services. She has no incentive to entice you to buy "more". The car price was exactly in line with what I expected based on research. She was able to get us 20% off of the options when compared to the prices discussed with dealers. This savings alone more than paid for her fee. Heidi also helped us reduce some of the purchase costs. We originally requested a dealer towing package. Heidi did some research and suggested the dealers charge too much for this option and we should instead purchase the car and then have an aftermarket towing package for $400 less. Same quality. Finally, Heidi helped us with trading in our current vehicle as part of the transaction. I did my research and she definitely obtained a good price for the trade-in. This was all wrapped seamlessly into the paperwork and again it was painless and quick. It was enormously refreshing to have someone watching out for my interests in this process. We have been telling all of our friends about Heidi and it's funny how no one can believe that buying a car is that simple. The question should really be why have dealers made it so difficult to buy a car? Heidi is personable and professional. She communicates well by phone and email. She got us the car we wanted at a great price. I will definitely use her services again. read more

Heidi made the car buying experience so simple and fast! Five years ago, I had a terrible experience at a local dealership and when it came to going through the process again this year, I knew I wanted the best help possible for it. Enter: Heidi! She was super informative, communicative and transparent with the process from start to finish. She makes it very clear if she is able to assist you with your purchase. In my case, I gave her my budget range and type of car, and within a couple days, she shared her leads. From there, she helped arrange financing through the dealership to get a rate way better than my local credit union, arranged the purchase paperwork and graciously answered my questions along the way. I never felt pressured, coerced or put into a position that was disadvantageous. Heidi truly wants the best for her clients and will take care of you like family. I highly highly recommend Heidi and her services, especially women. Ladies, do yourself a favor and pull Heidi into your corner for your next auto purchase/lease. Even though it's 2018, it still is not a fully equitable environment at the car dealership. This is where having an expert like Heidi who knows the games and tricks dealers will pull and does everything possible to keep you as the buyer out of that. She truly is the amazing autowoman and you will be happy to use her! I refer anyone that I know is dealing with a car purchase to her. Sincerely- a happy and extremely satisfied customer. read more

I learned there actually is an excellent way to purchase a new vehicle. A very good friend was looking to purchase a new car. She was really stressed out after visiting several dealerships and a rental car agency. Fortunately, she called my wife before purchasing a used car from the rental agency. Unfortunately, that is when my wife decided I should become involved. Considering the time involved in dealing with car sales people and my friend's anxiety, I thought this had the making of a "are you kidding me " experience. After checking out several brands and dealerships, getting the mystery man in the backroom treatment and low ball offers on the trade in, I remembered all the fantastic things my wife had told me about the Amazing Auto Woman's service. I called Heidi and discovered she was great to work with and had a genuine desire to help us. Heidi cares about your time, getting a fair price for your trade in and the best price available on a new car. Our friend ended up with a new car, I had my sanity and there were no unpleasant surprises. Telling friends and family to utilize The Amazing Auto Woman's professional service is like doing them a big favor. Heidi takes the pain, frustration and stress out of purchasing a car. When my wife and I decided to purchase a new vehicle, we went to Heidi. She provided the same high quality service, making that a second success story. read more

Heidi is a gem. I was in the market for a 2015 Prius. I'd completed a test drive, and done all my research for what price I wanted to pay and how much I wanted for my trade in. All I wanted to do was to walk into a dealer and say "this is what I want, this is what I'll pay" but I knew it wouldn't go down like that. The thought of spending hours negotiating with a dealer with zero transparency made me not want to buy the car at all. A friend at work told me about "The Amazing Auto Woman" and how simple the process was for he and his wife. I connected with Heidi on a Monday. She found the exact car I wanted (there were only 4 on the west coast), and arranged a price better then what was considered a GREAT price in my exhaustive online research. She also managed my trade in and handled all the paperwork for a loan to cover the remaining balance. In 8 days I was behind the wheel and everything was buttoned up. No problems. No surprises. Not a hitch. It's clear when you talk to Heidi that she knows every trick of the trade and has fostered some very good relationships in the auto industry. Negotiations were very 'cut to the chase' and the results were absolutely, without a doubt much better than I could have achieved. Unless you enjoy the thrill of blind haggling and dealer games, she is definitely the way to go. I'll never buy a car on my own again. read more

I received the recommendation from a friend that had a really good experience working with Heidi, i took a look on all the reviews she had and they all look really great. When i finally got in touch with her which she did; Everything from that point to end started to work as smooth and easy as possible, i was really doubtful in getting a car because i did not know or had any idea on the process, flash news Heidi does, all that my friends told me about her is true and even more, i have all the info i needed to know, by the moment i said yes, i want this car, i had no doubts, everything was clear on my mind on the moment i sign the purchase. Very very impressive thing, i said yes i want this car at 11am in the morning on a tuesday, i got my car keys on Thursday evening, i am not saying it would go this way for everyone but hey you got put it out there. And one other thing i was able to do all the process online, and for me as an IT engineer someone who works in an office and spend more than 10 hours a day in front of a computer well that is just awesome. Thanks so Much for all the help Heidi, and all of you guys, stop having difficulties and dealing with "dealers" Heidi will have your backs. read more

I got my new 2014 forester today, and Heidi made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I remember buying my previous car. I did everything wrong and was thoroughly taken advantage of. It was a very stressful and intimidating experience. This time around I was NOT looking forward to going through the same ordeal. I did my research and found exactly the car I wanted. I heard about people who can haggle for you and take care of all the tedious back-and-forth conversations with dealers, so I did a yelp search and found out about Heidi (the Amazing Autowoman). I contacted her via email and she got back to me promptly. The specific model and color I wanted (the forester xt premium in blue) is a hard car to find right now, and Subaru isn't taking build orders anymore. But Heidi kept looking around and found the exact car I wanted, with all the options I wanted, and got me a really good price. Heidi and I then met for the first time this morning, at the dealership. She pretty much did all the heavy lifting. I just smiled and signed papers. It was actually a pleasant experience. With Heidi taking control of the daunting stuff I was able to be relaxed during the whole thing :) Thank you Heidi!! read more

AN AMAZINGLY EASY EXPERIENCE!! I had heard of Heidi through an Evening Magazine story some time ago, and now that I was in the market to trade my current vehicle and acquire another one, I searched and found Heidi. Within 2 hours of an initial email, Heidi had responded to me and that day we had a quick phone conversation about what I wanted to accomplish - simply to trade in my current vehicle and find a used, lower mileage vehicle. I had done some research online, so I kind of knew what I was looking for. Within a day, Heidi found an ideal vehicle that matched what I was looking for, and it was certified pre-owned on top of that -so even better. She facilitated appraising and purchasing my current vehicle seamlessly with delivering my new vehicle.... all one stop. The entire transaction took less than 2 days to bring together and then was a simple matter of scheduling delivery! Heidi's level of service and prompt responsiveness during the transaction are UNMATCHED! Since I travel so much and just don't have time to invest in a conventional purchase arrangement, Heidi's service was more than ideal for me and the results exceeded my expectations !!!! Thanks Heidi! read more

I contacted Heidi when I needed to replace my son's car on short notice with a used, inexpensive car. She responded within a couple of hours to let me know that she didn't have the particular car I was looking for, at my stated price range,in her network. I did not respond, figured I'd look elsewhere, but the next day she emailed again to let me know she was still looking; I was surprised and pleased that she was still working on it. When I said I was willing to go for a newer car, she got back in touch that evening (well after business hours), then emailed a great option at 7:45 the next morning. Heidi knows how to get results, and fast, and if she can't she is very straightforward about it, and about the whole process. While we ultimately did not end up buying a car through Heidi for unrelated reasons, I would definitely go to her again, and highly recommend her service. You only deal with her, she does all the legwork on your behalf for an extremely modest fee, and your car is, apparently, delivered to your door. She makes a tedious, stressful process superfast and easy. It was a total pleasure to work with her. read more

I have dealt with dealers several times as my husband and I bought cars and it was never pleasant, was always time consuming and nerve wracking as the dealers team rotated in and out of the office. There were always more of "them" and they had a lot more stamina than we did. Dealing with Heidi was the complete opposite. From our first email contact to signing the paperwork a month later--I wanted to wait a week for a specific color--Heidi was always cordial, responsive and pleasant to deal with. I asked for what I wanted, posted a price I felt was fair and an interest rate I could afford and she accommodated each aspect. In the middle of our dealings she had to be out of town and introduced me to a broker with a dealership who was equally easy to work with. It was seamless and actually pleasant. For a long time, I kept waiting for a glitch to turn up and it never did. When we met face to face to do paperwork, Heidi was professional, direct and easy to talk with. I am one happy customer and recommend Heidi the Amazing Autowoman highly. read more

My husband was very happy about purchasing a new vehicle with Heidi 10 years ago and he suggested I have her help me with the new vehicle I wanted. I decided to do this as I did not have the time or energy to haggle prices and travel back and forth from dealer to dealer. She worked very quickly and in no time had tracked down the vehicle I desired (in another city) with all the features I asked for. She then had my local dealer install some of the optional features. She did all of this so smoothly and in only a few days. She also was able to get me a very good price that was below the invoice price. It was so much easier and cheaper to buy the car with Heidi than to do all the work myself. The fee she asks for her services was small in comparison with the savings she obtained for us. My husband hopes to purchase his next vehicle with her. She takes all the hassle and headache out of car buying. read more

Heidi more than lived up to her considerable billing! She made sure I had the vehicle I wanted, and I was pleased with the price for both the vehicle and for my trade-in. Heidi made the process pain-free and was incredibly efficient. In fact, I kept telling her that she didn't need to respond to questions within moments but she kept doing so anyway; it's just her nature. I'm not one who usually pays someone to do something that (in theory) I can do for myself, so I set the expectations bar high and Heidi exceeded it. The combination of time saved, hassles (and upselling) averted and a successful outcome (the vehicle I wanted at a fair price) was well worth Heidi's well-earned fee. So, if you value your time and want to avoid some aggravation, do yourself a favor and call Heidi. You'll enjoy working with her (or, more accurately, having her work for you). read more

Wow....she really is AMAZING!!!! This was my first time using a car broker, I must thank "Yelp" for that because I was looking for dealerships & Heidi came up. I absolutely loath buying a car...it should be fun, but it rarely is... it's definitely not like buying an outfit you love. Seriously, buying a new vehicle or leasing one takes time... Heidi changed that whole experience for me and for that alone ..I'm truly grateful. Both my sister & I immediately felt at ease when we had our first meeting with her! She makes everything super easy to understand, she's incredibly resourceful, Wonder Woman FAST, and if you need to go to a dealership to test drive a possible contender...she makes it a great experience! As everyone is my witness...I will ALWAYS GET A CAR THROUGH HEIDI hands down! It was a pleasure working with you read more

I was given Heidi's name by a friend and I am so VERY grateful!! I have heard it said that 5-star service is anticipating a customer's needs before they even know they have them. That is the Amazing Heidi to a 'T'!! She went above and beyond from the moment I first called her! She took an overwhelming and often confusing process and made it clear and exciting! She is extremely knowledgeable, quick, responsive and communicative - not to mention so friendly and wonderful to work with! AND let's not forget - she saved me money! Who walks away from a car deal and says that!? Heidi's clients, that's who! I have already recommended her to many friends and will continue to let anyone who is looking for a car know to do themselves a huge favor and give her a call! THANK YOU, HEIDI!! read more

This is my first time buying a car in the US, and I was quite nervous about the whole deal. After spending some time at the dealership I new what I wanted to buy, but was certain that the dealer was trying to over-sell the car. I heard from co-workers and friends about Heidi and decided to give it a go. Boy, was I in for a treat! After a few back and forth emails Heidi told me she found exactly what I was looking for, at exceptional price. I easily saved a few hundreds dollars on the car, not to mention the entire process was done under a week (from my first email until I got the keys) and the actual hand-off took a few minutes (!) I would definitely recommend anyone in the great Seattle area thinking of buying a new car, to give Heidi a call/email. You've got NOTHING to lose! read more

Sometimes you have to return to your roots. When we first arrived in Seattle from the UK in 2006, Heidi sourced a Honda Odyssey for my family, we were new, didn't have a clue how things worked here and of course, no credit history. We got a great car, great price. Fast forward 10 years, a few more cars and some, shall we say, interesting experiences at car dealerships, and I thought "let's go back to Heidi". Needless to say, a decade later the service was still spot on, we got the spec car we were looking for, in the color we wanted at the right price without setting foot outside the house. The finding fee was more than covered by the dealer discount, but would have been worth it in a heartbeat to avoid the hassle. Thanks again Heidi, see you in 10 years (or maybe less!) read more

Had heard about Heidi over the years when I was at Microsoft, always thought I'd give her a try. Overall, I have to say her website represents the service she offers very accurately: she'll make it easy to get a car at a great price, without having to deal with the dealer. That said (as she makes clear), the service she offers is focused on ease and simplicity, not getting the absolutely lowest price. Thanks to my previous research, I landed a price about $500 lower than Heidi's -- but, that was with a lot of personal effort over a few months. Having seen Heidi's comparisons, I'd be very comfortable buying through her in the future and know I was in the right ballpark. Short form, if you hate dealing with dealers, and want a hassle-free experience, I'd give her a call! read more

Amazing Autowoman is an understatement! I found Heidi 20 years ago through an old job and she never never never fails to deliver. Not only has she sold cars for us, but she has always found us THE perfect vehicle. The process is so simple. We send her the details, she sends us the options, pricing and details. We agree on a car and then--this is the best part--the car delivery is done in less than 30 minutes. Seriously! I cut her a check and we're done. Car is ours. Magic! The only reason to go to a dealership is to test drive the cars. She makes it so easy there is absolutely no reason to ever have to be tortured again. Heidi is the consummate professional and a wonderful human being. If there were a 10 star rating....well, you get the drift. Highly recommended. read more
