They put in zero effort in finding my car. I realize it is a tough market right now and I had specific things I wanted and was not in a rush, but, how did I end up finding the car before they did if they were working on it? Not impressed. Would not recommend.

Misleading claims & M.I.A. personnel
I signed up with them only to be disappointed. Multiple times they simply disappeared from communication for WEEKS, then MONTHS at a time. Needless to say they stopped sending options and weren’t negotiating. When I called once to ask for a refund, the woman who answered the phone was confused who I was (even after giving my name and though she was my account manager). Really disappointing experience. Had to write for a refund 3 times over the course of months to get it. And completely unapologetic. Seeing all the positive reviews had me interested initially, so balancing this out with my first-hand experience for anyone else reading the reviews.

I normally don't write reviews but I…
I normally don't write reviews but I had such a positive experience I felt that other needed to know. I was looking for a new car and started the process on my own doing it all on line thinking I would avoid the hassles. I knew exactly what I wanted and the range that this car would cost so how hard could it be. Well needless to say it was awful. Beyond the normal back and forth and never getting a fair price there were unethical things taking place that I could not believe a dealership was going to try to get over on me. That is when I reach out to Myhopscotch. I was skeptical at first but after a few Min with Crystal on the phone I was feeling a whole lot more confident. Crystal was perfect in finding me the exact car that I wanted at a fair price. I did not have to do anything accept what she had found. I also have to admit that I knew what I wanted and she was patient in finding the exact car that I wanted. I would highly recommend this buy service. Gary

Terribly Frustrating Experience
Terribly, terribly disappointed.
I was looking for a very specific 2019 BMW and was having trouble finding one with the specs I wanted. I called them and felt confident with their 100% satisfaction guarantee.
I quickly heard back from Paul, who told me my search was impossible and that the car does not exist. I told him I'd actually found two of them in Portland, but the one with my preferred spec was $5.5K over Blue Book. I'm in the SF Area, but he said he had the perfect person to bring it here.
We hung up and he called the dealership and got $500 off and gave me a long story about the impossibility of the used car market. I felt bad that they didn't do better or find other options, but they made me promise on our first call not to bargain with the dealer directly once I signed on with MyHopscotch, and I respected that. I said yes to the car.
Then he told me it would be weeks to get it delivered, so I decided to fly up to get it myself, as my previous car had been totaled and I needed a replacement.
Paul had me text him my drivers license and insurance info for the dealership and put me in contact with them. But he left me to arrange the details. And I had to re-text the dealer the DL and insurance photos, since Paul had taken a picture of his phone screen with someone else's phone, and it was unreadable.
Yes, that personal info got onto someone else's phone.
I figured that MyHopscotch was working on paperwork and dealing with the dealer as promised, but when I got there two days later nothing was done and it was three hours of paperwork.
So...
1. Hopscotch did not find the car - I did.
2. Hopscotch did not negotiate a deal. $500 on a $49K vehicle, even in a rough market, is pretty sad.
3. Hopscotch did not help me with my paperwork.
So for about 10 minutes on the phone they charged $700 AND failed to deliver what they promised.
After I drove 625 miles back home and thought about it, I told Paul my disappointment. I recounted that I did most of the work and was dissatisfied. I signed them on trusting that they would make a difference, but they did not.
In fact, if they had NOT been involved, I would have taken more control and probably have asked about doing more of the paperwork remotely.
So I told him I wasn't going to ask for a full refund, but rather that we split the fee, recognizing that the person who took the time to set me up before I spoke with him, and his (little) time was worth something. It ultimately didn't work out, but I didn't want to "stiff" them.
He was indignant and said he'd call me back. He did a few minutes later and said no.
I spoke with the initial contact person about my dissatisfaction and the fact that I trusted her initial statement about the money-back guarantee. She emailed me a statement (obviously pasted into her email, and probably written by Paul), saying "this matter has been discussed at all levels of our company and there is complete alignment among all about this matter" and refusing my reasonable suggestion.
Looking at many reviews, it seems that everyone worked with Paul. I don't think this is a network of operatives as they sort of imply, but rather one or two guys doing the same web searches we all do. And in my case, not as well.
The few hundred dollars I wasted is not the big deal - it's that they didn't deliver and refuse to be fair and decent about admitting it.
Buyer Beware!

Thank you, Erick, for your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that your experience with our service has fallen short of your expectations. You hired us out of frustration because you could not even get anyone to return your call at the dealership, let alone negotiate with you. You desired a very specific car (only a couple available in the whole country) and you needed it immediately and did not want to lose that car. After we made contact, negotiated the entire deal, and presented it to you, you expressed nothing but satisfaction. When we made the out-of-state delivery arrangements for you, you chose to fly in and drive it home because you wanted it “now”. You expressed nothing but satisfaction and praise during every step before moving on to the next. We are extremely disappointed to know otherwise. We feel terrible for declining your request for a discount when you contacted us weeks after you had your car. Regardless of how many thousands of clients we have served with total satisfaction, your feedback has forced us to look at our concern resolution processes. We are continuously seeking out ways to improve, and we are grateful to you for your feedback. We wish you all the best that life has to offer.

I do not usually right to many reviews…
I do not usually right to many reviews but feel writing a positive review for MyHopScotch is the least I can do. I have had the pleasure of working with Paul at MyHopScotch twice, first 2.5 years ago and then this week. In 2018 he had helped me to get a remarkable lease deal on a Jeep Compass Trailhawk that met all of my specification and within a very tight window of time. This time in 2021 we touched base with 6 months remaining on my lease and he was able to get me credit for the equity as a trade in towards a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. This is my dream jeep, he found in the specific color I had been looking and he negotiated a great deal all within a 48-hour time period. There honestly is no other way I would be driving this vehicle at the budget I had set without Paul’s work. I also should mention that I am in the Cleveland area while Paul is on the west coast. He was still able to research several vehicles and dealerships all in my surrounding area, ultimately finding the best deal within 30 minutes of my home. I highly recommend the service.
