About Auto Buyer Advocates
Professional vehicle acquisition consulting built on decades of automotive industry experience — and a commitment to putting consumers first.
Founded to help consumers navigate one of the largest financial decisions they make outside of purchasing a home.
Vehicle transactions can be complex. Pricing structures, lease terms, trade-in valuations, financing arrangements, and purchase documents all require knowledge that most consumers simply don't have — and don't need to have — until the moment they're sitting across from a dealership.
Most consumers purchase a vehicle only once every several years. Dealerships negotiate and structure transactions every day. Auto Buyer Advocates was created to help level that playing field — providing professional guidance, transparency, and industry insight that helps clients make informed decisions with confidence.
Our mission is to simplify the vehicle buying process and ensure that every client has the information and professional support they need to move forward with clarity — not pressure.
Experience That Comes From Inside the Industry
Our team has spent decades working inside automotive retail operations — not as observers, but as practitioners. That experience gives us a perspective that no outside consultant can replicate.
- 28+ years of automotive operations experience
- Leadership experience in automotive retail operations
- Thousands of vehicle transactions evaluated
- Experience across new vehicle sales, pre-owned acquisitions, leasing, and fleet
- Deep knowledge of dealership processes, pricing structures, and negotiation tactics
- Consumer-focused consulting practice built on transparency and professional guidance
What Makes Auto Buyer Advocates Different?
Most vehicle buyers enter a transaction with limited information. Dealerships, lenders, and automotive professionals participate in vehicle transactions every day.
Auto Buyer Advocates was built to provide consumers and businesses with access to professional automotive insight before making a purchase decision.
We believe informed buyers make better decisions, negotiate from a stronger position, and avoid costly mistakes.
Our role is not to sell a vehicle. Our role is to help clients understand their options and move forward with confidence.
