Zag Car Buying Service


Not ready to buy? Need more help? See our Car Buying Resources for information on buying a vehicle. The GEICO Car Buying Service lets you enjoy the same kind of great discounts that you already receive with cheap car insurance from GEICO.

Between 1/1/19 and 12/31/19, the average savings off MSRP experienced by consumers who connected with a TrueCar Certified Dealer through the GEICO Auto Buying Program and who were identified as buying a new vehicle from that Certified Dealer was $3,166. Your actual savings may vary based on multiple factors, including the vehicle you select, region, dealer, and applicable vehicle-specific manufacturer incentives, which are subject to change. The MSRP is determined by the manufacturer and may not reflect the price at which vehicles are generally sold in the dealer's trade area, as many vehicles are sold below MSRP. Each dealer sets its own pricing.

"Our Online Auto Loan and Car-Buying Service really is a leap into the next generation for consumers," said David Bohne, President of USAA Federal Savings Bank. "While in the past, dealerships and other auto sellers have provided some of these services individually, we are able to provide the full complement of services entirely online with the same level of service our members have come to expect from USAA."

USAA has chosen to work with Zag.com to provide an online car-buying engine and to establish a premier network of participating dealerships in more than 70 cities across 28 states in the United States.

Of course, members have the option at any time during the process to visit the dealership to test-drive their potential purchase and examine it in person. But the new online auto services option was created with member convenience in mind.

USAA received an overwhelmingly positive response from its membership during a test of the Online Auto Loan eSign capability and Car-Buying Service. In fact, more than 70,000 members have used the Online Auto Loan eSign capability and more than 93,000 members have used the Car-Buying Service to research a vehicle to date. Some have had so much faith in the service that they have purchased one-way train tickets across the country to go pick up their new cars.

USAA, a diversified financial services company, is the leading provider of financial planning, insurance, investments, and banking products to members of the U.S. military and their families. Named by BusinessWeek as Customer Service Champion in 2007 and 2008, USAA provides convenient and accessible financial products to its 6.4 million members.

TrueCar, Inc. is an automotive pricing and information website for new and used car buyers. The service allows users to see what others paid for any new or used vehicle in their local area and receive upfront prices from a network of over 15,000 TrueCar Certified Dealers. TrueCar is paid by dealerships so they can be introduced to and communicate with potential new and used car buyers. TrueCar reports its users purchase approximately 1 million cars from dealers in its network each year. The company is headquartered in Santa Monica, California,[2] with a sales office Austin, TX.[3][4][5]

TrueCar was originally incorporated under the name "Zag.com Inc." in Delaware in February 2005. Scott Painter and Tom Taira, along with other co-founders, started the business to provide white-label auto-buying programs to affinity groups. The company's initial partner was Capital One in order for its customers to arrange financing, access upfront pricing, and locate inventory online.[6] Other TrueCar co-founders include Jim Nguyen, Oded Noy, and Bernie Brenner.[7][8]

In late 2011, TrueCar launched a television advertising campaign with commercials promoting its services.[16] Shortly thereafter, TrueCar faced backlash from the automotive industry,[17] when several state agencies and regulators notified TrueCar that its practices were noncompliant with some state laws.[18][19] In response to those notices, TrueCar overhauled its pricing structure,[16] and moved from a pay-per-sale model to a performance-adjusted subscription model for dealers in some states.[20]

Buying a car can be complicated and expensive. With so many different vehicles available from the various manufacturers, it can be difficult to narrow down a make and model, select your trim level, choose a color, and finally pick out your car. And all of that needs to happen before you start getting quotes! Then you need to look at whether or not you should pay cash or finance, consider trade-in values, and shop among the different dealership in your area. And last, but certainly not least, you need to consider the convoluted car buying negotiation process.

The USAA Car Buying Service is run through TrueCar, which is a car buying service that gives buyers a fixed, no-hassle quote from participating dealerships. This makes it easy to shop and compare car prices, print out a certificate, visit the dealership, and buy the car for the quoted price.

The USAA auto program makes it easy to search for car prices, select a dealership, and set up a new or used car purchase right from your phone or tablet. In fact, you can do just about everything through the app, from finding your car, locking in a price, securing financing (if needed), and even buying a new car insurance policy.

I think it can. As I mentioned in a section above, I think using the USAA Car Buying Service as a starting point can save you a lot of time and money in the car buying and negotiating process. At minimum it should help you avoid a nightmare car buying experience.

To become a referred dealer, the dealer must pay ZAG $299 for a new vehicle lead or $399 for a used vehicle lead. Before USAA charged for referrals, Jenkins & Wynne was always referred by USAA as a reputable dealer. We feel that it is wrong that any dealer can be referred merely by paying a fee that must ultimately be passed on to the customer in the vehicle sale price. USAA now refers Ford/Lincoln customers 70+ miles away. It is inconvenient for anyone to have to travel 70+ miles for sales and service.

*We will meet or beat any documented price on any new Ford vehicle and back it with local service. If you purchase a vehicle from Jenkins and Wynne and your vehicle is in our shop overnight for warranty work, we will offer a complimentary furnished loaner vehicle.
