How does Motrix work?

You tell Motrix the car you want. We contact multiple dealers for you, strip every junk fee, and negotiate your out-the-door price in writing. You approve the final number and sign. You never sit across from a salesperson.

What does Motrix cost, and when do I pay?

Deal and Pro are $0 upfront. You only pay when Motrix lands you a deal you actually sign — $499 for the Deal tier (done-for-you; $399 for the first 100 paying buyers) or $799 for Pro (a dedicated human on your deal). If it does not close a deal you sign, you pay nothing. Founder-led Concierge is $1,499, paid to start.

Do I have to talk to the dealer at all?

Never. Motrix handles all communication. The only thing you sign is the final contract.

How long does it take?

It is dealer-paced. Across Motrix deals to date the median first written quote arrives in about three days, and deals have closed anywhere from six days to four weeks after the brief. Outreach starts right after your brief is filed and every dealer is worked in parallel.

Does this work for used cars too?

Yes. Motrix works for new, used, and CPO vehicles. Used car negotiations use different tactics — we focus on vehicle history, condition-based pricing, and market comparables rather than MSRP.

What if I have a trade-in?

Enter your license plate number in the brief. We automatically pull your vehicle's value from KBB, Carvana, and CarMax. We negotiate your new car price first, then your trade separately.

Is Motrix a car broker?

No. Motrix is a negotiation facilitation service. We're not a licensed dealer or broker — we're a negotiation service that works on your behalf. You make every final decision.

What does Motrix actually do?

Motrix is a negotiation system that contacts car dealers on your behalf and negotiates the entire deal, with a person on our team backing every deal. You submit a brief about the vehicle you want, and Motrix handles every dealer interaction — fee disputes, price counter-offers, the whole negotiation — until it surfaces a final deal for you to review and sign. You never have to talk to a dealer.

Is Motrix a car broker or dealer?

No. Motrix is a negotiation facilitation service. We're not a licensed dealer or broker. We act on the buyer's behalf, representing the buyer's interests. The buyer makes every final decision and signs the contract directly with the dealer.

How does $0 until you sign actually work?

On Deal ($499, or $399 for the first 100 paying buyers) and Pro ($799), you pay nothing upfront. The fee is charged only when you confirm a deal you chose, and if the dealer backs out of that number you get it back automatically. If we can't find a deal that works, you pay nothing. Concierge ($1,499) is the one tier paid to start.

Can I use Motrix for used cars?

Yes. Motrix handles new, used, certified pre-owned, and lease deals. The fee structures and negotiation tactics adapt to the vehicle type — the brief flow asks which condition you want.

What's in the Concierge tier?

Concierge is founder-led negotiation. Founder Jimmy Sturdivent personally handles every step from your first inquiry to your signed contract, with the Motrix negotiation system working alongside. Includes trade-in coordination, financing review, insurance shopping, and delivery logistics. Priority response on every touchpoint. Concierge is $1,499 and is the one tier paid to start, because the founder personally runs it.

Meet the founder

Built by one person.

The dealership wasn’t hostile. It was designed, very carefully, to take margin from people who don’t do this for a living.
I built Motrix so no other version of me walks out of that store.

Questions

The honest answers.

Do I really never go to the dealership?

That’s the whole point. We handle the back-and-forth, land the out-the-door price, and hand you a deal to approve. You show up only to sign and pick up the car — if you even want to do that in person.

What does it cost, and when do I pay?

The Deal ($499) and Pro ($799) are pay-on-close — $0 upfront, you only pay when we land you a deal you actually sign. The first 100 buyers get $100 off any tier: Deal $399, Pro $699, Concierge $1,399. Concierge ($1,499) is paid to start, because the founder personally runs it and it starts with a live consult.

Are you a broker?

No. You stay the buyer and transact directly with the dealer — we’re your advocate working the deal on your behalf. You’re always in control and approve the final number.
