REAL PEOPLE. REAL CONVERSATIONS.
Her reaction might
sound familiar.
You want the right car and a better deal, without making car shopping your second job. Hear what happened when we put that idea to someone looking for her next car.
A REAL CONVERSATION
Would you use a car-buying advocate?
A woman joins the conversation as we explain the idea. Hear her reaction in her own words.
Dealer experience. Buyer-side purpose.
Shane brings dealership experience and local relationships to your side of the table. When you hire Auto Advocates, we work for you and disclose any relevant dealer relationship or referral compensation.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
She came looking for a Honda.
She left with a newer BMW.
After the conversation you see above, Shane helped her buy a newer BMW for the same budget she had planned for an older Honda. We helped as a favor and charged no advocacy fee.
The conversation above is where her search with us began. Every buyer’s needs, budget and options are different.
KEEP THE PART YOU ENJOY.
You choose the car.
You take the test drive.
We handle the back-and-forth.
Want the car without making the buying process a second job? That’s what we’re here for.

Our aim is a better deal and less hassle. Compare the potential savings, time saved and support against our clearly stated fee before deciding whether the service makes sense for you.

PEOPLE BEHIND THE PROCESS
A person in your corner.
A process you can follow.
Shane (“Sapper”) / Managing Partner
U.S. Army combat veteran. 12 years of finance and insurance experience, applied to vehicle selection, dealer conversations and understanding the deal.
Don (“the Don”) / Managing Director
Process and turnaround expertise, negotiation strategy and the technology that keeps your buying process organized. Our behind-the-scenes “negotiation sniper” focuses on the details so you can focus on the decision.
A BIG VISION. A SIMPLE EXPERIENCE.
Buying a vehicle
should feel good.
We believe vehicle buying can become as intuitive as booking a ride: clear next steps, useful technology and experienced people when you need them.
We’re building toward a broader network of automotive and F&I professionals, with systems that keep the process moving as demand grows. We confirm scope, capacity and your start date before you pay.
Strong advocacy. Fair dealing. We negotiate for the buyer while respecting the dealership’s time and the economics of a fair deal. Clear requests and quick yes/no responses help both sides avoid wasted effort.
Cars, motorcycles and powersports: tell us what you’re looking for. We confirm the right expertise and scope first. Boat support is not currently offered; we welcome introductions to experienced marine professionals.
PURPOSE BEYOND THE PURCHASE
A better deal.
A bigger reason.
Shane’s service as a U.S. Army combat veteran and Don’s work in recovery make this personal. Veterans, recovery and mental health are causes we care deeply about.
VeteransRecoveryMental health
Car buying should test-drive the car, not your patience. We can make the process less stressful while taking the bigger challenges people face seriously.
Our aim is to improve people’s lives, build an industry people can trust, and make charitable giving part of the business as it grows.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Before you start.
Do I need to know which car I want?
No. Start with your budget, passengers, driving needs and must-haves. We can help define a realistic brief.
Can you help with less-than-perfect credit?
Credit-Smart is designed to explore realistic paths. Dealers and lenders decide approval and terms. An inquiry here does not pull your credit.
Can I buy outside Utah or shop used cars?
Tell us your state and whether you want new or used. We confirm coverage and the appropriate scope before accepting work. The local introduction service starts in Utah.
Do you guarantee savings?
No blanket savings or lowest-price promise applies. The Utah referral offer includes a documented qualifying dealer discount under the agreed terms; a $150 discount offsets a $150 service fee. Your service agreement defines the deliverable and remedy.
How are you paid?
Fees are shown above. The Utah referral service may also involve dealer compensation, disclosed in the applicable service terms. Concierge is priced for the agreed work, not as a percentage of the vehicle price.
How soon can we start?
Know your start date before you pay. Submit your brief and we will confirm capacity and timing. Your workspace shows the next action once your case is accepted. No payment is collected by this website.
Are your tools live dealer pricing?
The comparison and payment tools calculate from the figures you enter. Market research and dealer offers are supplied separately and show their source or conditions; live inventory and invoice pricing are not included.
