Why Hire an Auto Consultant? WheelsCR is a car broker in Costa Rica Personal Vehicle Purchase Advisor
The first benefit of using an auto consultant is that you speed up the process immensely.
Secondly, you know you are eliminating common mistakes, this frees you from stress during the entire process.
Thirdly, having a personal advisor regarding the payment process is crucial for completing the transaction securely.
By getting a car broker, you will avoid all of these issues:
- Getting Around — You’ll have a driver to navigate San Jose
- Language Barriers — Even at big dealerships, you might find that there is no one on duty who speaks English.
- Purchase Paperwork — You might have difficulty understanding the transfer process and also figuring out when you can pick up your car, since it must go through a delayed registration process if it is being nationalized by an importer.
- Paying — If you find a car you like, then you may have trouble paying for it! Cash can be problematic for many sellers due to banking regulations and if you don’t have an account here you won’t have a good way to pay the seller.
- Don’t Buy Wierd — Avoid buying models that are difficult to repair or find parts for.

How to Choose the Right Car Broker
Tips to help you choose a consultant wisely
Nowadays there are people all over social media offering similar car broker services, how would you know who is the best?
Plus, some car dealers present themselves as consultants, mechanics provide a service of inspecting vehicles and other service providers will dabble in vehicle purchases.
Here are some criteria you can use to choose:
- Questions? Or answers. – Are they concerned with your budget, needs and area that you will live? Or are they just offering what they have to sell.
- Communication and Guidance – Can they provide information about all aspects of the process, and beyond? Insurance, title transfer or vehicle registration, payment processing are all important things a car broker will know and provide consultation on.
- Experience – having an experienced expert at your side when it comes time to decide is a vital advantage. Experience makes the preparation and execution of the purchase go quickly and easily.
- Area of Coverage – Most of our clients don’t live in the Central Valley, they want to avoid it at all costs. But our repeat customers don’t want to buy a car where they live, they know that the climate and road conditions in rural and coastal areas are brutal. Buying a vehicle that has “lived” in San Jose is definitely the way to go, while providers based in Guanacaste for example will have vehicles from that area available to them.
