Christian at Cartelligent made leasing my new vehicle a really easy experience. The process was fast, smooth, and stress-free. I feel like I got a great deal, and he made sure I felt taken care of the whole way through. read more

Another great experience! We've worked with the outstanding team at Cartelligent to lease cars over the last 10 years, and will keep going back. They negotiate good deals, save the time and soul-sucking drag of going to the dealership, and bring the car and paperwork right to our home. Our regular broker, Chuck, pays close attention to what we want, is patient and fun to work with, is skilled at finding even scarce vehicles, communicates fast and thoroughly, and is determined to make sure we're happy with the result. Ricardo has delivered several cars -- he makes the paperwork fast and easy, and is great about orienting us to how the car's features work. Cartelligent is reliable and professional, and is well worth the fee. read more

I want to give a shout out to Ethan Sparrow and the team at CarTelligent for my recent car lease experience. I have wanted to make the jump to EV but was daunted by the process, and Ethan patiently guided me through every step. From car recommendations, to sourcing a great deal for the model I chose, to walking through every detail of the lease -- he and the CarTelligent team were top notch to work with. Highly recommended these folks! read more

Cartelligent is incredible, I cannot believe I ever went directly to dealers. They were fast and efficient, both in selecting the car and in receiving it in person (under an hour, compared to the 3-4 hours it takes at a dealer!). It only took a few days to find a car that everyone told me would take months. I got a great price and saved a huge amount of time. I'll never buy a car the old way again! read more

Christian R patiently helped me by giving all the information I needed to choose between gas or electric which is a major decision. He answered questions about buying the car on credit or cash. And he answered the over 100 questions I had about the differences between the car model I liked. I definitely recommend Christian at Cartelligent for a stress free and easy car shopping experience. read more

Smooth process-have used them for years & would highly recommend! Great IT service as well as overall "start to finish"Paperwork! Thanks Ethan & Dillon! Vicki read more

I used Cartelligent when I bought a new Camry in the Silicon Valley Area. I had a very good experience. However, this time it was not a match. I think Cartelligent is a good company , and it is better than dealing with the majority of pushy car dealers. Although, I am not a fan of Elon Musk or Tesla, I do love their direct to consumer sales, without the "Dealer". Sadly many dealers, and manufacturers profited excessively during Covid and the last few years, making excessive profits at the expense of the consumer. I ended up buying a 2022 Toyota Corolla LE for a great price at Enterprise Car Sales. read more

I've used Cartelligent for 4 cars now, and each time the experience is simply put...great. It's such a smooth process. I worked with a guy named Mark for the first 3 and I don't believe he's there now, so on this latest purchase, a new Kia Telluride, I worked with Christian. What I love about Cartelligent is they just know the car business in and out. They're informed on whether or not it's a good idea to lease or buy, they track the best deals (for example we were able to get a screaming deal on our BMW iX 50 last year due a summer lease special BMW was running). Also, the Cartelligent team has generally recommended leasing on EVs since the technology is changing so fast. Anyway, regardless of what you want to do, they'll find the right car for you and find it fast. They help you turn in your last lease as well, in fact during that infamous car shortage, they were able to help us turn in our VW eGolf 4 months early! Anyway, Christian is great, the service and the entire team is fantastic. If you live in Marin county, I highly recommend just picking up your car at their office in Sausalito, but they'll also get it delivered. read more

This is my first time working with Cartelligent. Laurent Martin, a friend of my family, advised me to contact Michael Carbone to have him help me find a new car (my first since 2007). On 1/20/26, I explained what I was looking for in a Honda Civic. Within three days, I had choices and good prices. I was very grateful for Michael's quick responses. I picked a beautiful 2026 Solar Silver Metallic Honda Civic Sedan LX. Michael then connected me with Jonathan Chan who coordinated the delivery logistics. My car arrived in Menlo Park from Santa Rosa on 1/27/26. I received an email confirmation and scheduled the pick up for 9:30 a.m. on 1/28/26. I met with Ricardo Rodriguez, who was very helpful with the document signing. He was familiar with where I have lived for many years in San Jose. It was as if I was talking with a friendly neighbor. Lastly, he showed me the car, and went over all the new "bells and whistles". I'm still learning new things each day. I definitely will recommend Cartelligent to anyone! Norma B. read more

This is the second time that we have used Cartelligent, and could not be happier. Ethan made the process so easy and pleasant with consistent, helpful communication, accurate information and efficient service. I highly recommend Ethan and Cartelligent. Marcos also provided an excellent tutorial for all the features of the car. read more

We decided to buy a new car. After researching our options, we decided to use the services of Christian Roettgers, Account Executive at Cartelligent. Best decision we could have made. We got the exact car we wanted, in a timely manner. That is saying something in today's tariff market. The customer service and technical assistance that we received from Christian Roettgers were of such high quality, displaying a high level of technical competence. knowledge of the required procedures, and problem-solving creativity. Two pleased customers. read more

Very smooth , easy transaction.. If you want to save time and avoid the headache of buying a car , you call these guys ..

Cartelligent takes the hassle out of car buying. I recently acquired a new Audi through them. After test driving a number of vehicles, Christian Roettgers found a great match for me and the deal was completed within a short time. Why would anyone torture themselves by negotiating directly with a dealer? I will use them again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone shopping for a vehicle. read more

Coming back to share another great experience with Christian at Cartelligent! My last lease was up and I was able to work with Christian to find my next lease. This is my third transaction with Christian! Christian stayed in contact throughout my last lease to ensure everything was going well and then about 6 months out from my lease end we worked to find the next car together. Christian always is quick to reply and answers all of my questions. I am excited for my new lease and always feel so much better getting to work with Christian rather than having to deal with the unpleasant experience of buying a car at a dealership! read more

I found out about Cartelligent just 2 weeks before making my purchase. I worked with Ethan who was very helpful and patient with me throughout the process. I had a lot of reservations about the whole process of buying and he explained everything clearly and thoroughly. This is the fastest and smoothest vehicle purchase I have ever done, and I couldn't thank Ethan enough. Very happy with everything and loving the new car. Saved me the stress of hours at the dealership and I even had the car get delivered to me since I could not do the pick-up myself. Will definitely tell all my friends and family all about this program. read more

I was in the market looking for a new car after my last car was a total loss. I knew exactly the car I wanted, but was having a hard time getting the price negotatiated at the local dealerships due to very low inventory. I was recommended Cartelligent by a friend. Christian reached out to me within the hour of me sending a request and was very pro-active in explaining how the process worked and what my expectations were as far as price was concerned. He even helped find the car at a great price the next day and got it shipped. The process was extremely quick and I had the car within a week. Christian was a pleasure to work with and I am impressed with the turn around time. Picking up the car was a very simple process and Jonathan spent an hour explaining and going through the car features and setting up things for me. The whole process was so much more easier than the stress of spending hours at the dealership negotiating the price and the features. Everything was done on the phone which made it so much more simpler. Thanks Christian and Jonathan for your help! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Cassie Shikano on getting my new car and I am so glad I chose Cartelligent! Without any car purchasing experience, I spent a whole year researching the "perfect" car that I wanted online, and it left me exhausted by the end of it. Choice paralysis is real especially if you don't know what's good or bad out there and every car expert has 50 different opinions on the same thing! With Cassie however, from the time we first spoke on the phone to closing the deal and picking up the car, it took about max 2-3 weeks. That was how fast it went, and I've never been so sure about buying anything expensive as I was with Cartelligent. What made the process so smooth for me was their ability to cater to your needs- so just make sure you have at least a rough idea of what you're looking for and they can help you find the car. I am no car expert, but Cassie is, and she was able to get me the inventory of what was available down to the trim size, color, year, financing vs leasing price etc. I dreaded checking out cars at 10-15 different car dealership in the Bay Area until I would finally find one, and I'm glad I didn't even have to do that. I live in Berkeley, and was given the option to pick up the car either in Walnut Creek or Sausalito- depending on how fast I want the arrival to be. Both are close to me and about a 30 min drive and Cassie took care of everything from the financial paperwork, car registration, to the final delivery. Another great thing about Cassie- because of a sick pet and some work related stuff, I was under a lot of stress during the weeks I was in contact with Cassie due to an ever changing schedule in my calendar. There were so many times I had to suddenly end our conversation because of a pet or work emergency, but Cassie was always so flexible with our call schedule and we made it work despite my crazy calendar- I can only imagine how tricky it must've been for Cassie to keep up with my schedules!! Once i arrived at Cartelligent to pick up my car, the final paperwork only took less than 10 minutes, and then I got shown to my car by Dylan and the features explained! Dylan is an amazing auto specialist!! I've avoided actually committing to purchasing a car on my own for a whole year because I was afraid of being stressed out by the process, and I think I would have, had I not gone with Cartelligent. Cassie and her team truly delivered on all levels and the car was not only what I expected, but more! I highly recommend Cartelligent, and lucky you if you get teamed up with Cassie! Thank you Cassie! I love my car!!! read more

Cartelligent - Car Dealers Near Me - Sausalito, California

Christian did a fantastic job of finding my new car and selling my old car all while I was out if the country! His communications with me via email and text were timely and detailed and gave me the confidence to buy and sell both cars. In addition, the car was ready to go when I was back in town. I would not hesitate to use Cartelligent again. read more

cartelligent was recommended to me by a close friend who purchased a BMW in 2021. Vincent Denis was the broker that I worked with throughout the process of over 100 emails negotiating all of the important aspects of what I was looking for and moving the process along quickly. Vincent was extremely patient knowledgeable and followed my instructions to the letter. The process of picking up the car was also incredibly easy and with the expert walking me through all of the bells and whistles. This service got me a very good deal and their fee was, if anything, below what I expected for everything they did. read more

I worked with Christian Roettgers and he was amazing!. I contacted him on a Friday and provided him with the features we were looking for on a Mercedes Benz GLE450e. By Saturday morning he had located a suitable car at a great price. He guided us through the paperwork and was available either immediately or within 5 minutes returned all calls. We picked the car up on the following Friday. It took about an hour to finish up the paperwork and be thorough training on how to operate my new vehicle. The whole process was very professional and easy. I would highly recommend Christian and Cartelligent. read more

Outstanding Car Buying Experience with Christian at Cartelligent! I had an amazing experience working with Christian at Cartelligent! This was my 3rd transaction with Christian. From start to finish, he made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and found the perfect car at a great price. I'm never going to a dealer again. What a convenience-he dropped off the new car, and took the old car away, and negotiated the trade in and end of lease paperwork and returned the leased car! Christian was professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive to my questions. He handled all the details, so I didn't have to deal with the usual headaches of car shopping. The convenience and peace of mind that Cartelligent provides are unmatched. If you're looking for a hassle-free way to buy a car, I highly recommend Cartelligent--especially working with Christian. I'll definitely be using their services again in the future. read more

Loved working with Cassie Shikano at the Sausalito location of Cartelligent. She made the process of buying a car so, so easy. Great communication, friendly, organized, helpful. My highest recommendation. read more

George did a great job of finding the EV for me and getting all the discounts that were part of the promotion in September (2025); Ricardo generously delivered the car to my home. That was amazing. And he spent time getting me ready to drive as there is a definite learning curve since this is my first EV. Thank you! read more

I was in Europe when I saw the Ioniq 5 lease deal available through Marin Ride & Drive Clean discount program partnering with Cartelligent. The process couldn't have been easier. I filled out the Ride & Drive Clean form specifying an Ioniq 5 RWD SE with the 84kWh battery and Ethan Sparrow contacted me the next day. He found 2 candidate cars and we had a call to confirm which one. A day or 2 later Ethan called me with 2 lease options (2y/3y) and 1 pay in full. The lease was less expensive so I went with the 3y and had the car waiting for me in Sausalito when I flew home. I picked up the car in Sausalito after completing the paperwork (took 35 minutes) and Dylan took over to introduce me to the car features which was a big help. Very pleased. I will definitely use Cartelligent again when I buy another car. read more

What an easy and professional experience! Within 24 hours Cartelligent found the exact car I wanted and within another 48 it was in my driveway. They even got a better deal than the price I was seeking. I will be using them again for sure. An easy five star rating. read more

Honestly, such an easy experience. Worked with Ethan who got me a great deal on an EV. I reached out on a Thursday and had a brand new car in my garage by the following Tuesday. Communication was really good, process was super painless with zero surprises throughout. Team at East Bay Cartelligent at pickup were great. I was in and out in probably less than 25 minutes after signing some paperwork and getting a quick rundown of the car features. Compared to my last experience at a dealership, even with a pre-negotiated deal and simple financing, it took hours. When this lease is up, I'm headed right back :) read more

Thanks Cartelligent. I now drive my dream car. I strongly recommend if you're looking for a car. You know what you want, they'll find it for you. Fast and easy. read more

This was our first experience with Cartelligent and will not be our last. The convenience and hassle-free experience buying a highly-in-demand new hybrid was well worth the broker fees. We did our research and test drives and then took our picky preferences to Cartelligent in Sausalito to take it from there. Ask for Ethan who is professional, responsive, thorough and a reliable (and frequent) communicator. read more

We just got our X5 through Cartelligent. Chris Miller & Ricardo Rodriguez were both great to work with. From understanding what we were looking for to sourcing and securing our vehicle of choice and, finally, the pickup, the entire process was streamlined, efficient, and easy. I highly recommend Cartelligent if you are shopping for a new vehicle. read more

I hate car shopping to begin with but also I happened to have a very specific request and I felt it put me at a disadvantage both for finding what I wanted and being able to negotiate. Handing the whole thing over to Christian at Cartelligent was a fantastic decision. He is a great listener, totally responsive, and several times gave me good advice which I happily followed. The cost of the service was minimal compared to the peace of mind and convenience it bought me. Totally happy customer. read more

Absolutely loved working with Radi, Chuck and the rest of the Cartelligant team. I could have spent months doing the research they do in days, and still only done half as well as them to find a great deal. I am confident they saved me hundreds of dollars a month in lease payments. I will work with them again. read more

Great car buying experience with Cartelligent. After chatting on the phone and through email, Hilary and the team found us the car we wanted, locked in a competitive price and secured the vehicle for us (it was in transit from the manufacturing plant) and delivered it right to our door. We never had to negotiate or speak with any car salesmen or waste our time searching for what we wanted. We were under a deadline to get it before a big road trip and the team stayed on top of it for us so we got it on time. Sooo much better and totally worth the fee to purchase this way. We'll never go back to the old way of being jerked around by a car dealer again. Highly recommend. read more

Just picked up my new 2025 RAV 4 Hybrid. Sensational car. The best part was working with Cartelligent. No dealers or hassles. Got exactly what I wanted in just a few days. The service I was given was superb, especially my personal account executive, Vincent Denis. Vincent made it a wonderful experience. Easy and smooth - VERY PROFESSIONAL! The drive home was exhilarating. read more

I met with Christian Roettgers at Cartelligent in order to purchase a new electric BMW. Christian was super responsive, definitely procured the best price and delivered a car to my exact specifications. I had been delaying buying due to the hassle of negotiating directly with a dealer. Christian took the pain factor out of the process. Cartelligent "trained" me on the car's functions and willingly scheduled a follow up tutorial. Highly recommend them and the experience.

First car I got ended up being a lemon (obviously no fault of Cartelligent). Casey made sure I knew exactly how to document everything to make the return process with the manufacturer smooth and then helped me get a new car (different model...) within a week. Still the only way I'll buy/lease a car from now on read more

We worked with Zach and Jonathan at Cartillegent to help us track down a new model that is currently in high demand, and they were able to quickly find just the one we wanted at a great deal, saving us a bunch of time and money. They're great ... I highly recommend working with them, this is what the car buying experience should be. read more

In a Nutshell: I received exceptional service beyond expectations. You can use this service with confidence & be sure to ask for Casey Gleason. The long story: I recently had the pleasure of interacting with Cartelligent for my car-buying needs, and I must say, their service was nothing short of outstanding. Oh my gosh, I have been driving the same car for 16 years and the thought of navigating the modern car market was overwhelming in the extreme, especially in a post-pandemic world. Everything has changed from how they sell the cars, to what models are even available. I was out of my depth at every level. This is where Cartelligent, and particularly Casey, came into the picture. From the very first call, I was immediately impressed by the warmth and promptness of his response. Casey was more than just a car advisor; he was a true ally and expert, with a clear passion for his work. He was on my side in the ME vs. DEALERSHIP fight. He took the time to really delve deep into my needs, wants, and concerns, answering what felt like a million questions with patience and expertise - not just about the cars I was considering, but about the service that Cartelligent provides as well. His approach was far from the typical sales pressure, in fact there was zero pressure at any time. Instead, he was 100% focused on my comfort and satisfaction. He was methodical, efficient and very responsive. Within 24 hours of my initial call, Cartelligent presented me with exactly what I was looking for. They offered a choice of a few different cards from 3 different brands, each fitting my specifications and budget perfectly as we discussed. I was thrilled with the cars and prices they were able to come up with - this far exceeded anything I'd be able to do on my own. This level of personalized service and exquisite attention to detail was truly impressive. But the real testament to their exceptional service came when a completely unexpected unicorn deal for the EXACT car with all the features I wanted and very few miles fell into my lap. Because, even after investing his and his teams' considerable time and effort, Casey was truly genuinely happy for me and he understood completely when the unicorn deal was just too good to pass up. His response was not just professional but truly heartfelt, reflecting a deep-rooted commitment to customer service. That right there told me everything I needed to know. Casey's dedication to his clients goes beyond just making a sale. It's about building relationships and making sure clients are satisfied -- even if it means the business comes second. Also, his willingness to help at any time further cements my belief in their service. Though I didn't end up buying a car through Cartelligent this time, their service has won me over. I know that for any future car purchases, Cartelligent will be my go-to. The convenience, the elimination of hassle, and the sheer quality of their service make it a no-brainer. I want to say congratulations to Cartelligent on having an Account Manager like Casey who truly understands the meaning of 'customer service.' He and his team have set a high bar for others in the industry. Thank you for making my car search a remarkably pleasant experience, despite not concluding with a purchase. You can be sure I'll be returning for my future car needs and recommending Cartelligent to everyone I know. read more

I have always purchased my vehicles cash and at the dealerships. One of my friends always goes through Casey Grissom, Account Executive with Cartelligent, Sausalito who researches and locates the vehicle requested. Casey does all the paperwork and makes delivery arrangements. I asked for my Toyota Crown Signia to be delivered to my home and a date/time was given and a total price. Ricardo from Cartelligent arrived with my beautiful car. He spent time introducing me to all the basic accessories and dash board. taking time for every question. The sale contract and paper work took 45 minutes. In the future I have decided never to buy through a dealership again. Casey even gave me a local contact Chris who could help to install handle and door protectors. It turned out Chris was a mile from me and offerred to come to my house and do the work. Chris even put on a screen protector and tinted my windows. What an amazing team!!! I don't know how to do pictures, but she a beauty!!! read more

This is the third time I've bought a car through Cartelligent. Always easy. Always efficient. Always honest. Always less than what the local dealers want for the identical car. We worked with Radi and his team in Sausalito. We first wanted a 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid but discovered that the dealers loaded them up with a few extras we didn't want, so we changed our focus to a 2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid that came with the BSM (Blind Side Monitoring) standard. Radi found a dark blue one in Santa Rosa that we considered, but when we opted for a lighter blue, he just wanted us to be happy and found the perfect car in Anaheim that could be driven up here. We said that we could drive to Southern California in a rental car, drop it off at Santa Ana Airport, then Uber to Irvine to get the car. He coordinated it with Alan at that office and we drove away last Monday with our new car. Thanks again to Radi in Sausalito, Alan in Irvine, and the entire Cartelligent team for a seamless transaction. We'll be back in a few years to upgrade our other car. read more

Where has this service been all my life? I just bought a car with the assistance of Hilary at Cartelligent and I can't see myself buying a car any other way again. I have always hated car dealerships simply because of the way they treat me. As a female, they talk down to me and disrespect me. I don't want anyone that treats me that way to get my business. Hilary was such a breathe of fresh of air! She's professional, knowledgeable, transparent, and truly wants you to get the best deal even if it means getting the car on your own. Not only did she make sure I got a fair price on the car, she made sure I got a fair price on my gap insurance as well. I learned so much from her and would recommend her to anyone. Picking up the car is such a breeze! No being held hostage in a finance office for hours. Alan walked me through all my paperwork and made sure I knew how to use my new car. He was a complete professional. Thank you for making a typically painful experience to be painless and easy. read more
