How does Motrix work?

You tell Motrix the car you want. We contact multiple dealers for you — by email, voicemail and web form — 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?

$0 upfront. You only pay when Motrix lands you a deal you actually sign — $399 for the Deal tier (done-for-you), $799 for Pro (a dedicated human on your deal), or $1,499 for founder-led Concierge. If it does not close a deal you sign, you pay nothing.

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 close over the following one to four weeks. 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 an AI agent that negotiates on your behalf. You make every final decision.

What does Motrix actually do?

Motrix is an autonomous AI agent that contacts car dealers on your behalf and negotiates the entire deal. You submit a brief about the vehicle you want, and the agent handles every dealer interaction — emails, SMS, fee disputes, price counter-offers — 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 as an AI agent 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 every paid tier (Deal $399, Pro $799, Concierge $1,499), you pay nothing upfront. The fee only applies if you choose to sign the contract Motrix brings back. If we can't find a deal that works, you pay nothing. 30-minute money-back window after purchase for any reason.

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 AI agents working alongside. Includes trade-in coordination, financing review, insurance shopping, and delivery logistics. 24-hour SLA on every touchpoint. Concierge is $1,499 and is the one tier paid to start, because the founder personally runs it.

Motrix vs CarWhere: coached or handled?

These are two different answers to the same problem. CarWhere hands you data and drafts so you negotiate. Motrix negotiates for you and charges nothing unless it closes.

The three real differences

1. Who does the negotiating

CarWhere is explicit that PRO does not negotiate with the dealer for you — it coaches you and writes the counteroffer you send. Motrix’s agents do the outreach and the counters; a human reviews the deal before it goes to a dealer; you approve the final number.

2. Subscription vs result

CarWhere bills monthly whether or not you buy. Motrix has no subscription: $0 today, $499 on close ($399 for the first 100 buyers), and nothing owed if no deal closes.

3. Past the inbox

Email is easy for a busy desk to ignore. Motrix opens each dealer with a voicemail drop to the sales desk and the dealer’s own web form, then moves to email once they reply — every shortlisted store at the same time.

When CarWhere is the better pick

Honestly: if you enjoy the negotiation, want to keep full control of every message, and want it for under $15 a month, CarWhere PRO is a good tool. Motrix is the pick when you would rather not deal with a dealership at all until the number is right.

Common questions

What is the difference between Motrix and CarWhere?+

They are different categories. CarWhere PRO ($12.99/mo) is a coaching tool: it flags fees in quotes you collect and drafts counteroffers you send yourself — per CarWhere, it does not negotiate with the dealer for you. CarWhere’s AI agent tier ($34.99/mo) emails dealers with you approving each message. Motrix is done-for-you: AI agents work multiple dealers in parallel by voicemail drop, web form and email, a human backs the deal, and you pay $0 until a deal you accept closes.

Does CarWhere negotiate with dealers for me?+

CarWhere’s own PRO page answers this: “No — and that’s the point.” PRO coaches you and generates counteroffers you send. Its higher AI agent tier emails dealers, with every message approved by you first. Motrix handles the outreach and the counters, and you only approve the final number.

Is CarWhere cheaper than Motrix?+

On sticker, yes: CarWhere is $12.99 or $34.99 per month, billed whether or not you buy. Motrix is $0 today and $499 on close ($399 for the first 100 buyers), owed only if a deal you accept actually closes. One is a subscription to tools; the other is a fee for a result.

Which is better for a first-time car buyer?+

If you want to learn to negotiate and are comfortable emailing dealers yourself, CarWhere PRO is an inexpensive way to do it with data. If you would rather not talk to a dealership until the price is settled, Motrix does that part for you and costs nothing unless it works.

What is a good CarWhere alternative?+

Motrix, if you want the deal handled rather than coached: parallel outreach to every shortlisted dealer, every add-on contested in writing, a human reviewing before anything is sent, and $0 upfront with the fee only on close.
