Truly top tier car buyer advocate app
After driving around searching car lots near our city, we were annoyed that it was difficult to really find models that fit our desired feature set. Within ten minutes of downloading copilot I was set up with hundreds of matches within a days drive, and I was able to quickly and very accurately filter that list down based on the wanted features and budget. Whittled the huge list down to two vehicles that matched our wants and budget, and made plans to go test drive! We ended up buying the first match because it test drove really well.
Copilot has the best filters for vehicle options of all the car buying apps I have tried!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are so glad CoPilot has positively impacted your car buying journey.
Not user friendly
Convoluted and buggy UI... I thought I just needed to use it a few times to understand it. I’m looking for a specific year and trim which you would think would be a quick filter/search parameter. But after playing 20 questions on options that were not particularly important to me, and looking at a few cars, it was still difficult for me to run a simple filtered search for Year and Trim? Why I chose to write the review however is the amount of spam type emails I’ve received since signing up. I’ve received at least 8 emails in the couple days after signing up and I’ve unsubscribed multiple times. The ‘Steal of the Day’ emails I keep getting is for the same car and when I tried to view the car I’d get a message stating “Sorry to Miss the Mark”. I think they sums up this app in a nutshell.

Helped me find that needle in a haystack
I’ve been using the CoPilot app for the last 6 months looking for that rarely found low priced SUV that was well maintained and fully loaded. Having the luxury of time, I was able to look at tons of vehicles near my price range and look for quality. The assessments, photos, CarFax, and breakdown of options and features allowed me to easily one stop shop these vehicles through the app, and only going to the dealer website once I was confident this vehicle was worth taking a closer look. In the end, I found the perfect mint condition vehicle listed $2000 under market value that I was able to negotiate another $1000 off of the price with the help of the analysis that this app provided. Additionally, the vehicle ended up being an hour and a half away, so frankly without CoPilot, I would have never discovered it.
I will be using CoPilot again the next time I am in the market for purchasing a car. It truly helped me find a hidden gem at an amazing price.

CoPilot app
Even though searching for a car can be super frustrating CoPilot helps so much with the process by telling you the history of the car and the dealers motivation to sell. I really like the feature how they tell you if the car has been a rental or in a corporate fleet. Great app!
Fantastic and works!!
Used it for first time EVER buying/leasing. Incredibly useful and easy to understand and navigate. And, scored a great deal that I wouldn’t of without it.
Downside: app doesn’t seem to work without an internet connection, ie. on a mobile LTE network. Wondering if this is only me or designed same way?

Not really for enthusiasts
This is an easy to use and helpful car buying app, particularly for people who aren’t really that into cars. From the get go it doesn’t let you filter for things like transmission type or trim level. You can refine that in later iterations of your search, but those are things that are front and center for many enthusiasts and I personally was not really satisfied with the way the platform prioritizes features like whether a car has a reverse camera but not what trim level, engine type, or transmission type you may prefer.

Could be great but ends up being annoying
I’ve been car shopping for a while, using all the most popular services separately, which can be tedious. I was hoping this app would help consolidate all that searching into one app. Unfortunately my experience was more frustrating than helpful.
It has some good analysis tools to help you decide if something is a good buy, and those appear to work well. It also does a good job of searching multiple places. What it doesn’t do well is user interface.
In an effort to make the interface more guided and conversational, they’ve limited your choices too much. They ask some very broad questions but don’t allow you to put in important details like trim levels, mileage or model year ranges, during the initial questionnaire stage. You can enter those criteria later, but doing so is clunky and at times difficult to find.
It also restricts some things so you can’t change them. For example, I’m searching for a very specific model year range due to significant mechanical, equipment and appearance changes between years. After answering the initial questions, it returned results that spanned two very different model years, and would not allow me to eliminate the years I was not interested in. I’d try to move the slider and it would move right back.
Overall this app has potential, but I found it too restrictive for the kind of searching I like to do, where I have more detailed and precise control over search parameters.

Best Used Car Search Engine Ever
My wife and I were looking for a very specific trim level and year Subaru Outback and copilot is the only app that let us narrow down our options so precisely and got us the BEST deal on a used car.
We were able to search within a 500 mile radius and found the perfect car only 5 hours drive away. We flew in purchased the car and drove it back. This saved us over $7000 and the car we bought was 1) the year we wanted 2) the trim level we wanted plus more 3) only had 2000 miles 4) was certified pre-owned!
I would highly highly recommend copilot to anyone looking for a car!

So helpful!!
I didn’t know where to start in my car search when I found Copilot. It has made the whole process so much less stressful!! I love how I could find cars from so many different dealerships and got an unbiased review on what made it a great purchase and what to think about. I felt very confident knowing that I got a safe used car that was in great shape and was a great deal. This app has so much helpful information and helped me SO much! Thank you Copilot!!
