I start with the question
What you need and what you want are rarely the same. We sort that out before we look at a single car.
Independent Automotive Advisory
30+ years. One career. One passion — cars and people.
I grew up in the family business. I know how dealerships work, how deals are made, and where the real value lies. Now I work exclusively for you, giving you the experience, insight and relationships that used to work for the dealership.
01 / The family business
Two generations in the trade
Almost half a century ago, my father opened his own car business, with my mother by his side. I grew up in that business, learning the industry the old-fashioned way — from the ground up.
I was taught to listen. To understand what people really need, solve the problem and, if the car wasn’t right, have the honesty to say so.
I worked my way through almost every role, eventually becoming a Dealer Principal. Along the way I learned one thing that has never changed: customers are the lifeline of any business.
Today I put more than three decades of experience, knowledge and relationships to work for you — helping you buy with confidence and avoid costly mistakes. Not here to sell you a car. Here to help you find the right one.
02 / Why use me
What do you need? What do you want? What makes sense for your lifestyle and your budget?
I listen, I understand, and I find the vehicle that fits.
What you need and what you want are rarely the same. We sort that out before we look at a single car.
Three decades on the other side of the desk. I’ve sat where the deal gets done.
Sourcing, negotiating, inspection, your trade-in. You make one decision, at the end.
This isn’t a transaction that ends at handover. Most of what I do is for people I expect to see again.
03 / How my service works
Needs, preferences, budget and timing.
The options genuinely worth your attention.
Experienced representation through the deal.
Quality and safety, before you commit.
Managed from first conversation to handover.
04 / What I source
New or used vehicles. Passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, utes, vans, luxury, prestige or performance — I source the right vehicle to suit your needs and budget.
Whether it’s your first car, family vehicle, daily driver, workhorse or something special, your needs set the brief.
Having industry experience and trusted relationships, I source, negotiate and manage the process on your behalf — helping you buy with confidence and save money.
Trading your current vehicle? I can arrange a valuation and manage the trade as part of the deal.
Need finance? I can help arrange finance options to suit your circumstances.
One trusted advisor. From sourcing to delivery — I handle it for you.
05 / The first conversation
A firm brief or a vague idea—either is a fine place to start.
