This process is in place to help members avoid dealerships that rip them off or claim they are part of the Costco Auto Program in order to make a sale. </p> <p>Costco members looking to use the program should visit <a href="http://CostcoAuto.com" rel="nofollow">CostcoAuto.com</a> or call 800-755-2519 to receive a direct referral to the closest participating dealership. By calling or submitting a referral online, we ensure members follow the established process and meet with the trained Dealer Contact at the participating dealership to receive their prearranged price. Without contacting us first, we cannot ensure a member is at a participating dealership and that they are receiving the Costco price. </p> <p>Members that contact our program are always followed up with by our Member Advocacy Group. These dedicated professionals inquire about the member’s experience and are available to answer questions or conduct a price verification.</p> <p>Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we take every member experience seriously. We are available 7 days a week at 800-404-5623 if you would like to speak personally about the program and your experience. </p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Member Advocate Group<br>Costco Auto Program</p>JenniferTue, 23 Mar 2010 16:24:24 -0000
