How happy you'll be with your next car largely depends on two things: whether it was designed to do what you want it to do and the money the company allocated to its creation.

My belief is that the magazines and websites we see as trustworthy spend too much time rewriting press releases and racing around test tracks, too little looking at what matters to the average person once the new car smell - and the marketing push - has faded. They pick a favorite car for their preferences, leaving consumers to fend for themselves during the most difficult part of the process: selecting options and negotiating a price.

This is where car counsel begins. I'm available by phone at any time to simplify things, saving you time and money and making sure you never get 'taken for a ride'. There is no risk: if I can't help you are not charged.

Think of me as your automotive investment advisor - I'll help you get the most for each dollar you have to invest.
