Buying a new car should be exciting. Let’s keep it that way.

I’ve joked that I’d rather do my taxes at the post office while getting a root canal than spend another afternoon negotiating at a dealership.

You start out excited about a new car, but dreading what it might take to buy it. The invitations to “just come down.” Hours of back-and-forth over the numbers. Add-ons you never asked for, followed by another pitch for service contracts or extended warranties. Before you know it, your entire day is gone.

As a father of five, I’ve bought more than a few cars recently. I know how hard it can be to find time for that process, and how much you’d rather spend that time doing something else.

I also bring more than 20 years of experience in finance, where asking questions, understanding the numbers, and negotiating terms come with the territory.

That’s why I started Tag Team Auto: to put that experience to work for other buyers. I help you locate a new vehicle, negotiate the price, and push back on unwanted dealer add-ons. I work exclusively for you, with no broker fees or kickbacks from the dealer.

Every engagement is handled on a best-efforts basis. State laws, availability, and market conditions affect what’s possible, so discounts and removal of dealer add-ons cannot be guaranteed. What you can expect is care, persistence, and respect for your time.
