DealerRater® Launches PrivateBuy™ in Association with CarWoo!
Waltham, Mass. – DealerRater®, the nation’s premier car dealer review website, today announced the launch of DealerRater PrivateBuy™ in association with CarWoo!, the exclusive online marketplace for car buyers and sellers where buyers remain anonymous. PrivateBuy will help DealerRater consumer members find the best market prices online while avoiding dealers that do not value quality customer service. Car buyers visiting the DealerRater site and reviewing dealer ratings, will be presented the opportunity to use CarWoo! through DealerRater PrivateBuy.
“Purchasing a car is a complex process, said Tommy McClung, CEO of CarWoo! “By teaming with DealerRater on PrivateBuy and including its dealer reviews into our dealer ratings and our unique car buying process, car buyers will enjoy a superb car buying experience that is predicated on total transparency and great customer service.”
Through DealerRater PrivateBuy, dealers participating in the CarWoo! MarketPlace will be notified on behalf of the consumer and will present multiple offers for the consumer to evaluate and compare, while the auto consumer remains anonymous throughout the entire negotiation process. In addition, DealerRater’s 460,000 dealer reviews will be incorporated into the car buying experience to supplement the reviews generated by CarWoo! customers, enabling consumers to evaluate and select dealers as part of the process.
“We are thrilled to partner with CarWoo! to provide the DealerRater user base with the comprehensive tools they need for a quality, well-informed online car buying experience,” said Chip Grueter, president of DealerRater. “Car buyers deserve a great experience when working with dealerships, and by integrating DealerRater reviews into this unique online car buying process, auto consumers can rely on PrivateBuy to find the best car deal online and determine, in advance, what dealerships are committed to quality customer service.”

I stopped dealing with Car Woo. They send customers from far away. You give them a price and they take it to the local dealer and ask them to match it.
I can’t do everyone elses job for free.
