Testimonials

Using the side-by-side comparisons in the From Car To Finish web site made the comparisons concise and easy to do a real head to head amongst manufacturers.  When I had narrowed down my choices to 2 vehicles the From Car to Finish team went to bat for me and literally saved me hundreds of dollars off of the purchase price. Also directing me to the sales manager avoided a lot of the hassles of negotiating price in the showroom. The deal went through quite smoothly with no difficulties at all. This is definitely a worthwhile service and I would never buy another car without it again….

As far as the service that you provide is concerned, I cannot praise it enough. I found that the deal that you worked out for me was not only fantastic but it was done in such a way that allowed me to choose the car that I wanted without having to renegotiate a price for every variation that I might wanted to look at or any of  the cars that were available at the dealer. The price was negotiated relative to the invoice pricing published on the From Car To Finish website, so was very easy to calculate my cost regardless of the options that I chose or the cars available to the dealer.

Working with From Car to Finish is the best way I’ve found to buy a car.  They are professionals.  With the quotes they got for me, it was easy to figure out my bottom line. And because I knew my discount from the final invoice, whatever that turned out to be, I could shop for any options I wanted without worrying about price games.  Basically, having From Car to Finish on my side kept the dealers honest and put me in charge of the negotiations.  I saved the cost of their service several times over.

Having never bought a new car, I was fairly nervous and uninformed about the whole process.  The From Car to Finish staff was extremely knowledgeable.  They broke down the process in a way that a person without much car experience, such as myself, could understand.  They were there every step of the way, from comparing prices and features on their website to negotiating the final price and options. The website had an immense amount of information and the comparison features helped me decide which car had the options I wanted as well as a good price.  In the end, From Car to Finish saved me several thousand dollars.  I don’t think I could have gone though the car buying process without them!

Contacting From Car to Finish was the best choice I could make in order to get my new car with little fuss at a great price.  From Car to Finish truly made what is normally a difficult time consuming task a pleasure.  I made one trip to the car dealership after I decided the make and model to fill out the paperwork, with a total savings of well over $1,000 from what I could get on my own.  Thanks, and I will be sure to use your services for my next car purchase.

From Car to Finish made my car shopping process so much simpler!  I went to several dealers to test drive and decide on the car and features that I wanted, and of course secured price quotes.  When I decided on what I wanted, I provided the information to them: a Honda CR-V EX with a dealer installed roof rack.  They came back to me within a day or two and gave me the contact information for a dealer convenient to me, with my car in stock, who would sell it for several thousand dollars less than I had been able to negotiate on my own.  All I had to do was write a check and go pick it up.  It removed all the hassles from car-buying, and saved me the time of having to comparison shop for price and inventory myself.

From Car to Finish found the exact car I wanted at $1,400 bucks less than I was able to get. Can’t beat that deal! No hours of calls and showroom visits and weeks of back and forth with salesman.  The Ford Expedition that From Car to Finish negotiated for me is not just a new car, but the tow vehicle for a very special charitable venture we’ve begun to help those living with chronic illness. Not only did From Car to Finish get a great deal on the car, but they even helped make sure the transaction went smoothly after I received their report, and I was able to get the perfect color to match the silver of our Airstream trailer.  From Car to Finish negotiated the official touring vehicle of www.rv4thecure.com

I was very nervous about buying a new car as I wasn't planning on it and hadn't done much of my homework (needed a new car due to mine being totaled in an accident). From Car to Finish was very helpful in going over each detail of what I needed to go and was a great negotiator. I don't believe I would have gotten a better deal if I had not used their services.

From Car to Finish saved me two precious resources: time and money.  Car buyers who are not sure how much they can save on their next car would be well advised to do business with From Car to Finish.  Their staff's inside knowledge of the industry is quite extensive and helps beyond the price negotiation aspect of the service.  In-depth guidance on options and other needs and wants make for a customized experience.  In a nutshell, From Car to Finish acts as your advocate and takes the sting out of the buying process.  I highly recommend it for folks who have no time to waste and/or don’t enjoy bargaining.

Working with From Car to Finish made purchasing a car so easy.  They did all the work - we told them what make, model, and style we wanted and they explained everything, did the negotiations with several dealers and came back to us with the best deal.  We were able to go to the dealer with a firm price in hand.  We would recommend From Car to Finish in a heartbeat.  Thank you guys for everything.

There are two ways to buy a new car: Random selection or by using From Car To Finish.  With the former, you just take your chances, roll the dice, and hoping the price you're offered "sounds about right."  With the latter, you get about as many facts as you can handle, including extensive details about the vehicle you're looking for, accessories, and details on how to go about evaluating prospective vehicles.  Most importantly, and for a very modest cost, they provide you with pricing offers from numerous dealers in your greater metro area.   It is in this area that From Car to Finish excels....(more)

Before using From Car to Finish, car buying was always a challenge and something that I never looked forward to doing.  With From Car to Finish, all my worries were put to rest.  They do all the work haggle free and definitely get you the best possible deal.  I know there really is a savings because before I started using the service, one salesman gave me a price that was 15 to 20 percent higher than what I ultimately paid through From Car to Finish.  Their website was also a great research tool in helping me decide the car to purchase.  There was a fantastic car comparison application that allowed me to choose the car that best suited my needs.  Making a decision to buy a car will always be somewhat stressful but thanks to From Car to Finish, I know I’ll always get the best deal.

I recently used the services of From Car to Finish to purchase a new Toyota Highlander after totaling my other car in an accident.  I am recently divorced and had no one on my side with knowledge of how to negotiate the best deal in buying a car.  I was referred to Mike by a friend and having him help me gave me the confidence I needed to confidently close the best deal on the car!  It was like having a husband in the car business who knew how to get the best price in town for the vehicle I wanted.  I must have spoken to him 4 times a day for several days with questions about navigating all the information he sent to me about the dealerships.  He was patient beyond words, understanding and happy to help me each time I called.  I highly recommend his services.  You will save his reasonable fee many times over in the prices he negotiates on your behalf.

I hired From Car to Finish to do the legwork of car haggling for me! I needed to purchase a new car, knew what I wanted and he provided alot of information about the in's and out's of pricing in the new car purchasing field. He spoke to 7 dealerships and got me the best price possible at a dealership in Montgomery County. It saved me time, money and alot of hassles because we all know that car salesmen are good at what they do. Being a woman I didn't want to go through that. Mike helped me navigate the system and I got a great deal at Sheehy Ford in Gaithersburg. It was definitely worth it! I will call upon him again the next time I need to buy a new car. Thanks Mike!

It had been about 10 years since I had bought a car and I was dreading going through all the hassle. From car to finish not only helped me figure out what car would work best for me but also helped remove all the excess "drama" of getting a new car. I was able to test drive cars without too much pressure from the dealers as I was only testing the cars. Once I decided what car I wanted From car to finish gave me a full report that helped me assure I got the best deal available. Buying the car was easy and there were really no negotiations hassles. I totally trust Mike and the advice he gave not only regarding cars but also car repairs and how to successfully negotiate the car buying process. I left with my new car and feeling good about my decision and the way I was treated.
Thank you Mike

Mike helped me shop for a Toyota Matrix to my specs with pricing at the forefront. I was in a time crunch to get a car, as my old one had just died. Mike found me a new Matrix within 2 weeks under budget, with all the specs I needed and from a local dealer, which was also important to me. It was also great having someone with car knowledge to talk to and discuss various issues, as it's a big decision and Mike gave me expert advice and was fun to talk to. I would highly recommend him to anyone in  the same situation and will use him again the next time I need another car.

I was ready to close the deal on a new car when they showed me the dealer invoice price and offered it at that level.  My wife, who saw your car buying seminar at a networking meeting, insisted we give you a call.  The call alone brought the price down more than another $1000 but using the From Car to Finish service and waiting just two days ultimately yielded a price of $2000 under invoice, or $6500 below MSRP.  Amazing, and so helpful.  I always worry that I am not getting a good price but this took the worry out of it.  The small fee for the From Car to Finish service produced a return of over 1000% in two days.  It's hard to find that kind of a deal anywhere.  Thanks again.

What a wonderful way to buy a car. I test drove other cars and decided that I wanted a Camry. After submitting the information to From Car to Finish, I received my report with several dealers listed near me. I used the worksheet to figure out which one was the best for me and my numbers agreed with the dealer ranking page included in the report.  I made an appointment with the manager they specified and the experience at the dealership was the best.  No negotiating!!  No haggling!!  No "I need to speak to my manager" - 5 or 6 times!!!  No time wasted!!!  And I saved quite a bit of money!!!  You made this experience painless.  I have already recommended you to several friends and will continue to do so.  Thank you very much.

Mike offers a new car negotiating service, From Car to Finish, that every woman who is single and not interested in learning about cars should purchase. Mike contacts the dealership manager and gets him or her to negotiate a reasonable price for a new vehicle. Mike walks his client through the purchasing process and is there for you each and every step of the way.

In 2012 my wife needed a new car and we were exploring our options. I have known Mike Rabkin for several years and decided using his program would benefit us. Mike provided a concise and through description of the car, the pricing and dealer contacts. Armed with this information we leveraged a great deal for my wife on a new car that she is VERY happy with. If you are going to buy a new car, contact Mike and take full advantage of his program.
