Skip the Dealerships Sets 2026 Mission: Building a Cleaner, Fairer Car-Buying System Canada — 2026
Fully Transparent Car Buying for the Next Generation
January 04 2026, CEO
Skip the Dealerships today announced its 2026 mission, outlining a customer-first approach to modernizing how vehicles are bought, sold, and financed across Canada.
Built as a transparent, fraud-free marketplace, Skip the Dealerships connects buyers, private sellers, dealerships, and banks directly—without the high-pressure sales environments, hidden fees, or inflated aftermarket markups that have long defined traditional car buying.
The platform is designed to prioritize clarity and protection at every step of the transaction. Every buyer, seller, and vehicle is verified, creating a controlled marketplace focused on trust, safety, and long-term consumer confidence.
A key pillar of the 2026 mission is direct bank financing. Skip the Dealerships enables peer-to-peer and dealer-to-person transactions to be financed directly by banks, removing the need for consumers to navigate dealership pressure or bundled add-ons. Warranty and GAP products remain available, but only as transparent, optional choices—not forced upsells.
By removing unnecessary intermediaries and outdated sales practices, customers using Skip the Dealerships save an average of $2,500 or more on vehicle purchases and a minimum of $6,500 on trade-in values. Pricing, financing terms, and transaction details are fully visible, with no last-minute surprises.
The company emphasizes that its goal is not disruption for disruption’s sake, but long-term reform. The 2026 mission reflects a commitment to building durable infrastructure—technology designed to scale responsibly, protect consumers, and restore trust in automotive commerce.
Skip the Dealerships positions itself not as anti-dealer, but anti-deception—working with ethical partners who share a belief in transparent pricing, responsible lending, and customer control.
