New or used, I help Central Coast folks find the right car and show up at the dealership to walk the lot, kick the tires, and negotiate in person. No kickbacks. No nonsense.
Start wherever you want. Most folks go with the Ride-Along โ that's the sweet spot.
You send me a listing. I go look at the car, send you an honest video walkaround and a verdict.
I meet you at the dealership. We inspect the car together and I help you negotiate โ in person, in real time.
Hand me the keys to the search. I find it, vet it, show up with you, and help close the deal.
I've been a car guy since childhood and working in the automotive industry since 2000. Over a dozen dealerships, with experience ranging from Honda to VW to Porsche. I know the dealership world inside and out โ every trick of the trade: how cars get priced, how deals get structured, where the margin hides, and when a "good deal" isn't.
I've worked with buyers from every walk of life โ humble working-class families and A-list celebrities alike. Same honest deal for each of them.
I've called the Central Coast home for 12 years. When you DM, you're not getting a call center or a form โ you're getting me. Flat fee, no kickbacks, no hidden incentive to push you toward one car over another.
No dealer kickbacks. No commission hidden in a markup. You pay me a flat fee and I work for you.
San Luis Obispo County is home. I know the lots from Paso to Pismo, which ones are a drive worth making, and which ones to skip.
If the car's a lemon, I'll say so. If you can get a better deal down the road, I'll tell you. Honest beats polite.
Shoot me a message on Instagram @805carguy with what you're hunting โ budget, must-haves, deal-breakers.
Quick call or a few texts to pick the service, confirm the plan, and schedule. I'll send you a secure link to pay.
I meet you at the lot (or head there solo for a Drive-By). We walk the car, I talk you through what I see, and we decide together.
Yes โ new, used, certified pre-owned, private sellers. If there's a car and a deal to be made, I can help you navigate it.
Absolutely. DM me with what you're thinking โ even vague is fine. I can help you figure out what you actually need before you're ready to pull the trigger.
After we agree on a service, I send you a secure payment link. Once that's squared away, we make a plan and get to work. No hidden fees, no surprises.
