What Car Dogs does, what it costs you, and how our rescue partners benefit.
Car Dogs is a free Inland Empire and High Desert service that connects drivers with vetted local partners for buying, selling, service, insurance and detailing.
You tell us what you need, we hand it to a partner who actually handles that work in your area, and we stay available if something goes sideways. Our slogan is simple: your best friends in Car Everything.
No — Car Dogs is free for drivers. Partner businesses pay us only when a referral converts.
That means we have no reason to push you toward a more expensive car or a service you do not need. If a partner is not a fit, tell us and we will route you somewhere else.
We serve the Inland Empire and High Desert, including Fontana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside, San Bernardino, Rialto, Colton, Moreno Valley, Victorville, Hesperia and Apple Valley.
Coverage depends on which partner handles your service and how far they travel. Enter your ZIP code on any form and we will tell you who covers your area.
A portion of what Car Dogs earns supports local dog rescues, and we help rescues get visibility to local drivers.
We feature adoptable dogs from partner rescues and route interested adopters to them directly. Rescues can apply to partner with us at no cost.
We work with local shops, dealers, agents and detailers we'd send a friend to, and we drop partners who don't treat drivers well.
We don't rank partners by who pays us the most — a bad experience costs us the relationship with that driver, so it isn't worth it. If you have a bad experience with a partner, tell us directly.
Yes — many drivers use us for buying and insurance together, or selling and detailing together, in one conversation.
Tell us everything going on with your vehicle situation up front and we'll route each piece to the right partner instead of making you start over for each service.
