Know what’s fair before you sign.

Snap your dealer quote. Carcenzus reads every line, marks what’s required, what’s negotiable and what’s an add-on, and shows what other buyers paid for the same car.

A dealer quote is written by the dealer.

It lists the price, the fees, the add-ons and the payment, all in one column, and nothing tells you which lines you can question.

45% of AMVIC’s inspections of Alberta dealers found cars sold above the advertised all-in price.

6 of 35 new-car buyers we surveyed compared written quotes from two dealers.

Sources: AMVIC, Alberta’s motor vehicle industry regulator; Uauto’s survey of 65 Canadian car buyers, October 2026.

A second opinion on your quote, in the showroom.

  1. Snap or type the quote

    Take a photo of the written quote the dealer gave you, or type the lines in. Before you sign anything.

  2. Every line, read and marked

    Each charge is marked from Alberta’s fee rules, written and dated by someone who managed dealerships for seven years.

    Required
    Part of every deal, like GST.
    Negotiable
    The dealer sets it, so you can ask.
    Add-on
    Optional. You can say no.

  3. Know your number

    Your all-in total, your monthly payment rebuilt from the price, rate and term, and what other buyers paid for the same trim.

Your check is private. Only you see your quote and its marks. Nothing is posted unless you choose to share what you paid.

And everything around the deal.

What people really paid

Home is a feed of prices paid near you, newest first, from bills of sale. Post yours in five steps from a photo, and a reviewer checks it against the paper.

  • Posted without your name or the dealer’s.
  • Others see the city and the month, never the day.
  • The photo goes to reviewers only. It is never published.
Sample

Owners rate their cars

Each car’s page has its trims, the median price paid, specs and comments. Owners rate six things from 1 to 5, once a reviewer has matched their papers to the model.

The people who ran the dealership, on your side.

Carcenzus is made by Uauto, a small Canadian team. For ten years Uauto’s car media has helped Chinese-speaking Canadians buy cars, and more than 200,000 people follow it.

The same questions kept coming: is this fee real, can I say no to this, did I pay too much? So we wrote down what a dealership manager knows, line by line, and built an app that reads your quote against it.

We start in Alberta, because its fee rules are the ones we have written and dated. More provinces follow as their rules are written.

John Wang

CEO

Managed car dealerships for seven years. He writes the fee rules each mark comes from, with the date each one took effect.

Kelvin Cheung

CFO

Builds the data and the AI that reads a quote, so every number on screen can show where it came from.

  • Dealers never pay us

    Not to change a mark, a price, or where a car shows up.

  • Every number shows its work

    Where it came from, and how many prices it rests on.

  • No ads, no trackers

    No third-party trackers, and we never sell your information.

  • Built in Canada

    Canadian prices, provincial taxes, and servers in Canada.
