How it works

At Driveline, we’re transforming the car-buying experience into something seamless and stress-free. Unlike traditional car dealerships, our mission is to find and deliver the perfect car for you without the hassle of driving to car lots, waiting for banks, or fending off pushy salespeople.

STEP ONE

Start a Consultation

After you fill out a contact form, we’ll reach out to have a quick chat with you. Our call usually takes about 10-15 minutes. On the call, we’ll take note of your unique situation and what your goals are for your next car. Then, we’ll gather a bit more information so we can determine the best routes to take for your approval.

What makes Driveline different from a dealership?

We don’t push specific inventory because our business doesn’t dependent on it. Instead, our lenders pay us a small commission to process loans. This way, we’re always focused on securing the best deal for you.

We use our extended network of reputable dealerships, wholesalers, and various other sources to locate the exact car for you, and your approval.

Thanks to our use of advanced AI technology, we scan car prices across Canada to ensure the cars we find are a great value by all standards.

Every car we find comes with our six-month standard warranty, a new MVI, a full tank of fuel, and a fresh detail cleaning. Vehicles from some of our wholesale suppliers include a one-year warranty.

Most dealership sales staff are paid to sell cars – not deal with lenders. Our financing specialists won’t waste your time. We understand exactly which cars will work for your approval, and which won’t.

Our primary goal is to help you achieve credit freedom by improving your credit score over time. When you’re ready, we’ll be here to refinance your loan or lower your payments so you can reach your financial goals.
