Buying a car should be exciting—not a headache. But if you’ve ever walked into a Phoenix dealership, you know that’s not always the case. Between aggressive sales tactics, hidden fees, and hours of exhausting negotiations, many drivers leave feeling frustrated and drained. 

Fortunately, there’s a better way to buy a car. 

Why Traditional Dealerships in Phoenix Are Frustrating Buyers 

When you listen to folks shopping for a new car, it’s clear that the traditional dealership approach is far from enjoyable. The experience often leaves drivers with regret from committing to the wrong car and frustration from having to deal with pushy dealership tactics. 

If you shop at a traditional dealership, expect to experience one or more of the following: 

• Pushy Sales Tactics: Many buyers felt ambushed by aggressive salespeople who wouldn’t take no for an answer. High-pressure upselling at places like Camelback Toyota and Right Toyota left drivers feeling like they were being cornered instead of helped. 

• Hidden Fees & Overpriced Add-Ons: From warranty upsells to inflated financing rates, buyers reported being hit with extra costs they didn’t anticipate. Some even advised securing a loan elsewhere to avoid dealership markups. 

• Lack of Transparency: A recurring theme was dishonesty about pricing, misleading advertisements, and dealerships sneaking in extra charges. Buyers often left feeling tricked rather than valued. 

• Wasted Time & Stress: The entire process—from negotiations to financing—was described as exhausting, with multiple hand-offs between salespeople and managers, all designed to wear down the customer. 

• Finance Office Hassles: Dealership finance offices often add unnecessary delays and pressure you into overpriced add-ons you don’t need. You may also face hidden interest rate negotiations that are not in your best interest. 

The good news? Phoenix drivers don’t have to put up with this. 

Why Phoenix Drivers Are Choosing Auto Brokers Instead 

At Centennial Leasing & Sales, we believe buying a car should be straightforward, transparent, and enjoyable. Our auto brokers work for you—not the dealership—ensuring a smooth and hassle-free buying experience from start to finish. Here’s how CLS is different: 

• Access to Nearly Any Make & Model: Instead of being limited to one brand, we help you find exactly what you want without visiting multiple dealerships. 

• Upfront Pricing with No Surprises: The price you see is the price you pay. No misleading ads, no last-minute fees. 

• A Stress-Free Experience: You’ll work with one dedicated expert who handles everything for you—no pushy sales tactics, no unnecessary add-ons. 

• Financing That Works for You: Because we work with multiple lenders, we can secure financing rates that are often lower than what dealerships offer. This means better loan terms and lower monthly payments without the pressure to buy unnecessary add-ons. 

• No Finance Office Hassles: We eliminate the frustrating finance office experience, saving you time and money. You won’t be pressured into buying overpriced add-ons or dealing with hidden interest rate negotiations.

What About Broker Fees? 

Some buyers worry that using a broker means paying extra fees, but in reality, our transparent pricing model ensures you know exactly what you’re paying. In most cases, the savings we negotiate on your behalf far outweigh any fees, making it a smarter financial decision than dealing with a traditional dealership.
