Our Online Buying Standards

The MonsterAuto Standard

A clearer, more transparent way to shop and buy vehicles online from participating dealers.

Three Pillars of the MonsterAuto Standard

MonsterAuto.ca helps organize the online purchase process between buyers and participating dealers — keeping everything clear and in one place.

Clear Vehicle Information

Participating dealers are responsible for providing vehicle details, pricing, photos, history details when available, and required disclosures.

What to expect:

  • Accurate vehicle details & pricing
  • Photos provided by the selling dealer
  • History report details when available
  • Required disclosures from the dealer
Transparent Online Process

MonsterAuto.ca keeps key purchase details organized, including messages, pricing, fees, trade-in details, deposit status, delivery or pickup choice, and final terms.

Organized for you:

  • Pricing, fees & tax breakdown
  • Dealer & buyer messages in one place
  • Trade-in details & deposit status
  • Final terms documentation
Dealer-Backed Fulfillment

The selling dealer remains the dealer of record and is responsible for the vehicle sale, disclosures, licensing, warranty obligations, delivery or pickup arrangements, and post-sale support.

Dealer responsibilities:

  • Vehicle disclosures & licensing
  • Warranty obligations (where applicable)
  • Delivery or pickup arrangements
  • Post-sale customer support

Vehicle Condition & Inspection Information

Vehicle inspection standards may vary by dealer, vehicle, province, and program. When inspection reports, safety certificates, reconditioning notes, Carfax/history reports, or protection plan details are available, MonsterAuto.ca helps organize and display that information so buyers can review it before moving forward.
