ITService is reducing trade-in prices Service is reducing trade-in prices. It used to be that consumers trusted KBB to help them determine the fair trade or resale value of a car. Now, what KBB does is provide obscenely low cash offers AND broadcast those obscenely low offers to every dealership in your local area. As a result, you not only get spammed by every dealership, you also lose out on fair offers for your car because ALL of these dealers know that KBB sent you with an obscenely undervalued offer, so they can offer you one or two thousand above that - or even less than the KBB offer - and appear "generous" when, in fact the trade-in value of your car was much higher. Reported this to the FTC. In my case, every other "Book Value" service valued my car at several thousand dollars more than KBB. I also checked around on the used car prices and private seller sales prices of the same model car - again several thousand higher than KBB.

GBKBB Vehicle Valuation Request -- DON'T BOTHER! On August 8th, I began helping a friend who needed to buy a new car and sell her old one (mechanic said he wouldn't advise fixing it anymore). We completed a request for Kelly Blue Book to value the current car so she could get an idea, for budgeting purposes, of what to expect in terms of sale price/trade in value. Just received the KBB response today -- September 10th -- after my friend's been driving her new car for over a week! If it takes 32 days for KBB to provide a valuation, why bother? In today's car market, you have to move quickly or new car options are snapped up and you must then wait weeks for another shipment to arrive, often from overseas. KBB was a major disappointment.

GBCan I give Zero stars??? Big hassle, no reality in the online offer Can I give Zero stars? What a complete waste of time. Was immediately contacted by 2 dealers who expressed interest in my car at a higher than instant offer price. Wasted my saturday visiting both and being scammed and lowballed by over 20%, even after being told "the vehicle was better than my description, but they could not sell it at a profit at auction!" What a time waster. Never again

GBKBB customers are the most uneducated… KBB customers are the most uneducated people ever. Stop complaining about the calls that you are getting from dealers when YOU provided the phone number. Excuses like "I did not know that they will send my information to multiple dealers" are plain stupid especially when there are multiple places on the KBB offer that states that you WILL be contacted by dealers, including in the Terms and conditions at the end that KBB REQUIRES to click on to make sure that you read them! Also DO NOT mark your car as perfect when it is not! 99% of the complaining customers here misrepresented their cars drastically and love to complain when the dealers find out their lies and shenanigans. Play stupid games win stupid prices....

GBComplete scam Complete scam. Went to 4 different dealers who started contacting me after completing a KBB ICO. Each dealer printed me off a sheet FROM KBB with different numbers for my car in "good" condition and each sheet added an arbitrary amount for the options and mileage adjustment. This whole thing is a big joke. Go to CarMax where at least they don't lie to you.
