Purchasing a vehicle can be thrilling but it can also be a frazzling time as you search for something that fits both your tastes and your pocketbook.
With the motto, 'Save Your Time. Save Your Money. That's what we do', Expert Auto Shopper, a newly-launched business in Jasper, does the legwork for you.
"It's a complimentary service for the consumer," said Jason Stockfish, owner/operator of the new company. "I've seen the struggle people go through trying to get a vehicle.鈥�
Trying to find the right vehicle is one thing.
And then trying to negotiate a price and interest rate you are happy with, after hopefully finding a vehicle you like, it can spoil what should be an enjoyable experience.
That鈥檚 where Expert Auto Shopper fits in, saving the consumer their time and their money.
And arranging for the delivery or pickup of the vehicle makes the experience even easier.
Stockfish emphasized, "I'm not there to persuade people about what they should be buying. I'm not a salesman."
Expert Auto Shopper is there to help people purchase the vehicle they want.
His remuneration comes from the dealership a vehicle is purchased from.
Stockfish brings more than seven years of expertise as a financial services manager in auto sales to the new service he offers.
"My job (as a finance sales manager) primarily involved me dealing with banks and negotiating the terms of auto loans for customers,鈥� he said.
鈥淚 am looking forward to using my expertise to help people make their next vehicle the easiest they鈥檝e ever purchased, while saving them precious time and hard earned money.鈥�
Stockfish said he has helped thousands of people get auto loans.
"People are generally exhausted by the time it's done and don't always get the price they wanted," he said. "It's nice to have somebody with experience do the legwork."
The first step Expert Auto Shopper takes is to locate a new or used vehicle that suits their clients' needs.
"After we find a vehicle for them, we come back to them, make sure it's the right vehicle," he said.
"Then our experts reach out to the dealership and negotiate an amazing price and rate on the client's behalf."
The third step is connecting the client with the vehicle they've chosen.
"We arrange for the delivery of the vehicle to the customer," Stockfish said. "Or, if they'd prefer to pick it up themselves, we make sure all the paperwork is in order, the vehicle is cleaned, prepared to the client鈥檚 specifications and ready for a smooth and easy pickup.鈥�
Then, Stockfish said, "It's a matter of picking up the key and driving your new vehicle out."
Expert Auto Shopper, "is a community-based business meant to build and benefit the community鈥�.
And for each vehicle that Expert Auto Shopper assists in the purchase of, $50 will be donated to a local cause of the client鈥檚 choosing.聽
