I am very pleased with the service/professionalism of Ali and his team. Paul helped me secure my new RAM TRX and guided me along the whole time. Telling me where the dealership was ripping me off. They were able to get me about $2000 off the price of a vehicle that goes for 10k over msrp. Plus they helped me through selecting the correct warranty from the manufacturer which saved me another $2000. They must’ve answered my calls over a dozen times over the course of the last two months. Ali is incredibly friendly and genuinely wants to help navigate the process of securing the best deal for whichever vehicle you choose.

I had never used an Auto Broker before and with how fast, easy, and responsive Crystal and her team were I may never go back to dealing directly with car dealers. I set the team on a task to find me a particular truck knowing full well inventory was scarce and many orders were being placed before arrival. I wasn’t optimistic I was going to get the truck I wanted but low and behold MyHopscotch were able to get the exact truck I wanted 30 minutes away from my house. Fastest purchasing experience I ever had. This team not only increased my trade-in value but landed me an APR so low I thought it was a misprint. Definitely referring everyone I know here.

Just a fantastic job by Crystal and the team. I was looking for a Mustang with a particular set of options for a couple of weeks and no longer had the time to devote to it. I reached out to myHopscotch and spoke to Crystal the next day. And she had a car for me within 24 hours that had everything I was looking for! The buying process was very smooth, and they were even able to get my car delivered cross-state to me in a short timeframe. Thank you!

I was extremely happy with my experience with Paul at myHopscotch. He found the exact, rare car we were looking for.He saved us some money but more importantly he did everything possible to help us purchase our car. The dealership was across the country and he knew exactly how to deal with them. He helped get the car shipped quickly to the West Coast. We also had a problem with the licensing and he helped resolve that for us. I highly recommend getting help from this well run company!!

Crystal was a rock star. I was in the market for a new luxury sportscar that was very hard to find in my state. Crystal started the search and found me the nearest options for that car. Crystal and her team found my car out of state and helped me all the way through finding carrier transportation to get the car delivered to my front door. She followed up everyday during the process and proactively communicated what was happening in real time and what the next steps are to the car buying process. Thank you!

I had a great experience with myHopscotch. They made the entire buying process painless and simple. I have no doubt they got me the best deal available and then some! I recommend this company to anyone who wants to find the best deal and have a pain free shopping experience.

This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Took away all my stress of buying a car. Samantha, Paul and Crystal were all so great and professional. I will never buy a car a different way.

I highly recommend MyHopscotch as an auto broker service. I hesitated at first, but honestly, the money I invested was returned back in the saved time, price, convenience, and satisfaction I experienced throughout the entire process.Crystal and her team were responsive, quick to find the car I wanted, and worked with the dealers so that I wouldn’t have to. She and Paul got me the best deal and rate for a verrrry popular car, and even had it delivered to my door from the dealer at no extra charge. All I had to do was sign the paperwork!Any and all questions are promptly returned with friendly answers and informative updates. I didn’t have to stress about the process, but felt like I could entrust it all to the experts who have been doing this for decades. You feel like you have a “team” on your side, and they will do everything they can to get your car to you at the best possible price and timeline.So glad and thankful for their service!

Paul with my Hopscotch was wonderful to work with; Paul made the process very simple and was able to get the exact vehicle I wanted at the price I wanted. I will be recommending MyHopscotch and Paul to anyone I come across in the near future who is in the market to buy a vehicle!

Hey ya’ll. Let me say this right away, in case you don’t like to read: This will feel too good to be true, but it is true. This was the BEST car buying experience I have ever had. I did the whole dealership thing once and was hugely taken advantage of for not knowing any better and trusting the dealership to have my best interests in mind. Then I tried buying private party and spent a year going back and forth with different sellers who just wanted to get rid of their car. MyHopscoth has literally saved my day! Hear my conviction when I say, I will never buy a car any other way now. This is how car buying should be!For those who want a little more:I had been searching for a car for a little over a year now.Due to COVID, my desire for freedom was through the roof so my need for a car was non-negotiable. It sucks to have such a strong need and have to go up against a world like the car buying business. It’s stressful and tedious and at times hopeless. I really did not want to end up with another lemon car and disappearing salespeople because I was desperate for wheels. I found myHopscotch when giving in to possibly having to go to a dealership to find a reliable, low mileage car with all the fixings I needed. Personal car shopper that will do all the negotiating for me and all I have to do is hire them? Deal!It took me a minute to call because I didn’t know exactly what car I wanted. I left a message asking if they could help me decide but I didn’t expect they would. I kicked into gear and decided on a Subaru so I could move forward when they called. Then, impressively, Samantha called me the next morning with options! She was excited for me that I had done some research myself and we moved forward with the model I had in mind. After that, I had the chance to speak with Paul, who I felt like family with right away. It was kind of strange but also really rather lovely to speak to someone who was so authentic and kind. I could tell this wasn’t just about business with him. I felt even more special when he took notice of my youth and suggested a more attractive model - which he absolutely nailed I would like! A few hours later, Dante sent me my first option but didn’t pressure me to buy. In fact, he encouraged me to look it over and let him know what I didn’t like so they could optimize my choices.At this point, I am completely relaxed and even excited about the process. I felt taken care of in the team’s hands. I was looking forward to the next option I could dissect on Monday and was blown away by the stellar deal the team found me. I couldn’t believe it. They had found me this beautiful 2019 Subaru with all the fixings and incredibly low mileage in the colors I wanted and nearly brand newness that I needed! I was so blown away that I did a happy dance that night, and then had a terrible freakout in the morning. I messaged Paul with my concerns and I felt so well reassured by him. I don’t think any other car dealer would have suggested we slow down and think this through logically, even pause efforts if we needed to. That alone comforted me. When I learned Paul and the team would be there should I decide to sell or need any other help, all my fears went away. I no longer felt alone in my decision, like I had before.After that hiccup, we continued smooth sailing. I did not once have to leave my house, hence the sweatpants and socks in my pictures. The team took care of the searching and negotiations and paperwork for me - all I needed was to sign the papers when the dealership brought ME the car! I am still swirling from this high of excitement and satisfaction. I am so impressed by the communication, professionalism, skill, and care of the team and feel truly blessed to have found them. I highly, highly recommend hiring myHopscotch for all your car buying needs!

The entire process was seamless and professional. Paul was patient and accommodating throughout and kept me well informed the entire time. He also was available at any time whenever I had a question. This was my second experience buying a car through Hopscotch and would do it again without any hesitation.

My Hopscotch story starts with a friend referral from Chad Heschong, who had an amazing experience working with Paul over a 5 month period in finding his perfect car. Chad got me in touch with Paul via email and I also inquired about the services via the myhopscotch website. Paul called me right away and I told him I had gone to a dealership for a new car and I wanted to see if the numbers from the dealer were good or if he was able to beat them. I wasnt happy with the amount that they had offered me for my trade in and he said already I know I can beat that! And from that point I was in and hired myHopscotch. Paul gave me a list of things to do to help with the process and I was able to do them relatively fast. He called me within 2 hours and said I found your car! I was totally surprised and amazed that he had found a car that quick and was trying to secure it right away. On a Thursday, Paul said when do you want to pick up your car and I said tomorrow? He said absolutely! Everything happened so fast, and at one point, I was like holy hell, Im buying a new car! Paul was amazingly helpful and made it very easy to say yes to buying a car, the process was painless for me. I basically said to myself that any time I needed to buy a car or if anyone I know wants to buy a car that I would 100% recommend using myhopscotch!

I worked with Paul for the second time. As a busy professional, I don’t have the time or energy to deal with car dealers and I’m also certain I would not be in the cars I wanted with the deals he was able to put together for me. He’s respectful and breaks down priorities if I need to make trade offs to get what I want within my budget, which is still more car than I could probably negotiate on my own. And the best part—no sleazy experiences at the dealer along the way, which I am unfortunately all too familiar with before finding myHopscotch.

This is the second car Ive bought with Paul and myHopscotch. He found the exact car I wanted at a dealer in Kansas (Im in Los Angeles) and arranged for my trade-in, transport the old car there, get the new car back, all in the span of a couple weeks. I saved about $8,000 on the MSRP even with transport costs factored in. This is a great service, and Ill never buy another car directly from the dealer again.

Paul provided one of the easiest new car acquisition experiences we have had. He saved us time and effort in locating a number of vehicles within our desired parameters and negotiated the deal to exceed expectations and ultimately save us more money and get a better deal than what we would have seen had we negotiated ourselves.

Review №18

I love negotiating for a good price on a car at a dealership. But, I had 3 major things happening concurrently.1) moving coast to coast on short notice2j work-related challenges before and after the move3) COVIDFinding a new car on the west coast with no pre-existing dealer relationship was fast falling off my priority list. Try google search for car buying recommendation. Along comes MYHopScotch. What a crazy name for a car buying service. It stirred my curiosity. So, I did a little more digging. It looked more interesting. But, I learned as a IT security professional that you can’t always trust the internet.So, I called MYHopScotch; Paul Windquist answered the phone with his Boston accent. I was confused. Nice guy. But, he was adamant about not being a Linquist. Yes, paul has a Nordic last name that actually begins with a “W”.Google Search: WindquistWhat did your Windquist ancestors do for a living?In 1940, Farmer and Seamstress were the top reported jobs for men and women in the US named Windquist. 23% of Winquist men worked as a Farmer and 13% of Winquist women worked as a Seamstress. Some less common occupations for Americans named Windquist were Carpenter and Bookkeeper- Census data for WindquistPERFECT!!! I gonna have a farmer or a seamstress doing my car shopping for me.All kidding aside, Paul is a consummate professional and fully qualified to represent anyone in negotiating a great deal on a car. We became fast friends. My address book has proudly contains Paul “The Fixer” Windquist honorably stored under “W”, not “L”.I wanted to know how he made his money. He was honest and straight forward. I thought about it. Then, called him back; I never looked back. He did a fantastic job representing me.Paul negotiated a special order new 2021 BMW X5 plug-in hybrid with all our desired bells and whistles. For an initial refundable deposit of under $200, he secured a deal that shocked me. Then, he negotiated an especially great deal on the aftermarket products: Warranty, pre-paid maintenance and tire/rim coverage at near 50% off finance departments list price. I then paid MYHopScotch an additional fee after securing a great deal.Paul politely addressed all my questions in a timely manner. I’m “Fixed” and happy.Thank you Paul.

We were referred to myhopscotch by a friend and we were apprehensive about the whole car buying process, but as the whole car buying process started, myhopscotchs value was totally justified.Paul was assigned to us and throughout the period, he was very knowledgeable and honest with the advice that he gave us. We were able to save a substantial amount of money and time because of them (they did negotiations with the dealer, insurance agent and since I did not have a car prior, arranged for the dealer to pick me up as well!).I would truly recommend availing their services if you are completely new to the car buying process, short on time or want to have a knowledgeable presence with you. Once they come into picture, you just sit back and watch their expertise at work

(DETROIT, MI)I was in a very bad situation with auto loan. my jeep had over 143k miles on it & I still had 2 years of payments left & I owed more than it was worth. I spent thousands to repair it and there were more repairs needed. after listening to the Myhopscotch ad, I called and talked Paul.I was skeptical about the fees at at first but, the fees were well worth it. Paul negotiated everything and somehow he got more on the trade in value than I owed. AND he got me the exact vehicle I wanted.Thank you Paul, I look forward to doing business with you in the future.John F.

Why would you buy a car any other way? This is my second time getting to work with them. Their expertise, knowledge, and just general advice and hand holding made getting a new lease pretty much painless.I dont understand points and lease terms, and Paul patiently explained them to me, steered me towards a car that would drive the way I wanted and SAVED ME A TON OF MONEY. Cant recommend highly enough. If you LIKE hassling, haggling, fighting tooth and nail to pin down a car contract, this isnt for you. If you want to sit back, and let a professional figure it out and make a solid recommendation based on years of car experience, look no further. Based on time spent, alone, I would do this every time. You wont be sorry.

Im a little late posting a review since me and my wife have been using there services for the past six years. I believe this would be a great experienced kind of review of there services since we have been with them for so long.Would we love about the whole process is that we dont have to deal with those salesman, negotiating, fear of over paying, those hidden fees, wasting my whole day there and feeling pushed into a vehicle I dont really want.Thankfully, we dont have to deal with any of that nonsense anymore. Basically how we do it is, we write a quick email and start to discuss the car or truck we would like, what options in the vehicles are important to us, how much we wanna spend and thats basically it. They handle everything else and we just sit back and wait till they they get back to us with the best deals and maybe any other options we might want to consider.To me its great because they break down the entire deal structure so you see that you are saving money and that you are getting the best possible deal and not just taking the dealerships word for it because we all know you never trust a car salesman. They are just trying to suck you dry and take advantage of you any way they can.Next its just us going to test the vehicles and seeing if we like it. No pressure at all and then we just leave. Once thats done we go home and discuss how we felt about the test drive. Super easy.Lastly and this is MY FAVORITE part of the whole process. They take care of all the paperwork details for us!Literally, from the time you get to the dealership, its just walking to the office to sign your paperwork, take care of any details or questions and then the dealer hands over the keys and your out of there. When I purchased my last dodge ram it literally took me 15 to 20 minutes before I was driving away in it. I was very impressed lol.Totally worth it if your thinking about saving time, no stress and your saving money on your vehicle too.Pretty easy choice. Highly recommend them.

Review №23

Just got home to Hartland, Michigan with my new Ram 1500 truck. Sill cant believe the deal that Myhopscotch.com was able to get me. Over the past two months I have been to 4 dealerships trying to workout a deal to trade in my 2 year old truck and purchase a new one. None of them offered me what I owed on my current vehicle and, if I wanted the discounts from the manufacturer I had to finance it through Chrysler whose interest rate was several points higher than a Credit Union. The dealerships were also very reluctant to come down very far from the sticker price. I also spent quite a bit of time online trying to find out the average price people pay for these trucks. I tried three different companies who boast that they help you find the lowest price on a vehicle and a dealer to buy it from. Each one of these services simply funnel your information to several dealerships who try to sell you a vehicle at the highest price they can. Out of total frustration I contacted Myhopscotch. What they promised almost seemed too good to be true but I gave it a shot. Paul, their representative was able to get me this unbelievable deal...A trade in of $2,500 more than what I owed on my current truck, several discounts bringing the cost of the truck down $10,000, a lower interest rate than what I currently had and having to pay zero down. This is the first time in my life that Ive ever walked away with a lower payment when purchasing a new vehicle. Full disclosure, I had to drive an hour and a half to get the vehicle and of course you have to pay myhopscotch a fee.I was happy to do this given the fact that I saved over $10,000 on the vehicle and came away with a lower payment than I currently had. Keep in mind, there was no negotiating on my part, the dealership was friendly and they were happy to make a sale, all I had to do was sign the paperwork. I realize it sounds too good to be true but these guys know the inside business of how dealerships operate and sell vehicles. Most of which we consumers are not privy to and there is a lot of stuff we dont know. I will never buy another vehicle the conventional way. MyHopscotch is how I will purchase or lease any vehicle from now on. By the way, Paul is a very nice guy and makes the buying process

Review №24

Thinking of hiring these guys? Do it. Hopscotch comes highly recommended, and I found out this was for good reason when I hired them myself. I worked with Paul at My Hopscotch to buy a new Honda Accord. Hopscotch was able to quickly identify a deal on the car I wanted at a big discount not just to MSRP, but the discounted price I might expect to get through many mass market auto buying services. The price was substantially better than what I could get, for example, through Truecar. Hopscotch then arranged all aspects of the deal with the dealer, and walked me through what to expect before I went, so all I had to do is show up, test drive the car, listen to a brief, half-hearted pitch from the finance guy for the usual add ons -- that he knew in advance I would almost certainly not go for -- and drive away. Throughout, Hopscotch was at the ready to step in, via phone, if there were any last moment hitches or additional details to negotiate. Bottom line: financially, Hopscotch delivered value that can be measured in dollars that more than covered their fee. Hiring Hopscotch, for me, was simply a good financial decision. Beyond that, though, Hopscotch ensured this was the least stressful, smoothest car buying experience Ive ever had, saving me time and stress.

MyHopscotch made my car buying experience perfect. They did all the heavy lifting, I just told them what I wanted. Paul was great at bringing me along with updates every step of the way, with full transparency and guidance. I was dreading buying a new car, but myHopscotch made it painless and actually enjoyable. I have already recommended their service to ally my friends and will definitely be using them again for my car needs.

Review №26

I dont normally feel compelled to write a review, but I feel like the people need to know about Paul Winquist. First of all, I just want to say I have always been wary of purchasing vehicles because I feel like somehow or someway Im getting taken advantage of.. from personal buyers/ from dealers, etc. Buying cars stress me out because I dont trust the people to have my best interest in mind.Anyway, my car got totaled a couple months ago... the day before Thanksgiving. The car rental coverage was coming to an end sooner than I thought and I was stressing about finding a car. My friend told me about Paul and to just send him a text with what you need. I was given his direct cell number and sent a general text about my situation. He said tell me what youre looking for and your budget. I told him exactly what I was looking for and the amount of money I could spend. I explained I needed a car within the next two days preferably. Within the same hour I get 6 emails of listings to review from Paul. I tell him which one Im interested in. He says I can come by that evening at anytime to check it out.Not only was the car PERFECT for me, I love my car... BUT Paul got me an even better deal than the one I had with my car that got totaled. Check this out, I got a car that was ONE YEAR NEWER than my previous car, AT A LOWER COST with LOWER MILES. I kid you not I thought to myself this is too good to be true. this is too easy. Im telling you I AM OVERLY CAUTIOUS ABOUT THIS TYPE OF STUFF ... So this isnt even the end of how Paul went above and beyond for me.... Ok so not only am I driving my dream car that is newer and at a better rate than my last car.... but as were leaving he says to me hey dont forget to cancel your warranty on your other vehicle. And I had no idea that I could even do that. And he says Ya a lot of people dont know that they can do that. So I take his advice.... I call up my prior dealership... and I say (as if I know what Im talking about) HI Im calling to cancel my warranty, my car got totaled effective this date. And ONE MONTH LATER I GET A CHECK FOR $1726.00!!!!!! SO NOW Im taking myself to New York for a week on vacation in June.Paul answered every neurotic paranoid question I had. He got me a newer car for a cheaper price. He informed me of something I had no clue I was even able to do, and I got a refund check that I NEVER WOULD HAVE RECEIVED HAD I GONE TO SOMEONE ELSE. AND NOW IM GOING ON VACATION FOR A WEEK PAID TO MY FAVORITE CITY.PAUL KNOWS HIS SH*T. I WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE TO BUY A CAR. Too many people are untrustworthy and just want your money. I dont feel that way when Im sitting across the desk from Paul.I just sent him one text. Got the car of my dreams THAT NIGHT. I have told everyone about him. I know this review is long.. but I just cant say enough. Ive gone through probably 5 cars in my life so far.... and I tell you what... I dont ever have to feel stressed or that Im being taken advantage of again. I know Paul is that man.Thanks again Paul, truly, thank you so much for your help. I never would have thought that getting my car totaled the day before the holidays was going to turn into such a blessing with your help.

MyHopscotch was the perfect solution for my car search. I had no time to look for a car, not even weekends. My schedule is always packed.So my wife and I gave them a try. We told them about our budget limits and the kinds of cars we liked. Within three or four days they emailed us pictures, to give them an idea of which cars to pursue so that they could begin negotiating for us. 3 days later, after some dialogue with Hopscotch professionals, especially Paul, we were driving to a dealership to test drive a car. It was the perfect car for us and exactly within our budget! No hassles, no bargaining and negotiating, just as we were told. myHopscotch saved us about $3000, plus we were most impressed by their service, even direct conversations with Paul ( from the YouTube video!) Plus we were spared the drudgery of car shopping. The next time I buy a car, I will go through myHopscotch again!

In my 10 years in the auto industry Ive been a Salesman, Internet Sales Manager, Finance Manager and most-recently a Sales Manager for the Audi brand. In that time I cant remember a more pleasant, professional, clear and concise approach - not only from an auto-broker, but from ANY client Ive ever had. Working with Paul at myHopscotch was not only a pleasure, but it was quite refreshing; zero games and zero hassle. You can be confident that he will help you get the best deal possible and have your best interests in mind when it comes to the deal, all the while maintaining his professionalism with the dealers he works with from start to finish. From one professional to another, thank you Paul for what you do! Keep up the good fight. I look forward to working with you again!

Review №29

I dont think I can express how much I appreciated myHopscotch and Pauls expertise during my car-buying process, yet I will try. I was a huge skeptic when I found myHopscotch through my employers benefits program. I saved thousands of dollars and countless hours by using this service. Even without the employer discount, I would use myHopscotch again and highly recommend to my friends. Pauls care and commitment to securing a great deal for me very often exceeded my own commitment and expectations during this process. I kept waiting for him to ask for more money, but it never happened. I changed my mind about the car I was originally looking to buy, and it was not an issue at all. This service is an incredible value and with a money-back guarantee, I felt I had nothing to lose.
