Your local car connection in the 805.

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.

How I can help

Three ways to work with me.

Start wherever you want. Most folks go with the Ride-Along โ€” that's the sweet spot.

Who I am

Not a dealer. Just a car guy.

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.

Why work with me

Local, independent, honest.

1
I'm on your side.

No dealer kickbacks. No commission hidden in a markup. You pay me a flat fee and I work for you.

2
I'm actually local.

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.

3
I'll tell you the truth.

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.

How it works

Simple as a text message.

Step 1
DM me.

Shoot me a message on Instagram @805carguy with what you're hunting โ€” budget, must-haves, deal-breakers.

Step 2
We lock it in.

Quick call or a few texts to pick the service, confirm the plan, and schedule. I'll send you a secure link to pay.

Step 3
I show up.

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.

Quick answers

Common questions.

Do you work with new cars, not just used?

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.

I'm not ready to buy yet. Can you still help?

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.

How does payment work?

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.

Do you cover my area?

I cover SLO County and surrounding areas โ€” San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, Atascadero, Santa Maria, Arroyo Grande, Pismo, Morro Bay, Nipomo, Templeton, and Los Osos. DM me your zip if you're not sure.
