AutoSherpa

Hi, I'm Jacob, and welcome to AutoSherpa.

Like many people, I used to walk into a dealership hoping the salesperson was looking out for me. I trusted the process because I didn't know any better. Looking back, I realized I paid for products and add-ons that offered little value while costing me thousands of dollars over the years.

That experience stuck with me.

Over time, I became fascinated with how the automotive industry works. I spent countless hours researching both the new and used vehicle markets, learning how dealerships price vehicles, negotiate deals, and where they actually make their money. One thing surprised me: dealerships often earn more from financing, warranties, service, and maintenance than they do from selling the vehicle itself.

My background also includes military service, where I worked as a mechanic on military vehicles. That experience taught me to approach mechanical problems methodically and gave me a strong appreciation for how vehicles are built and maintained.

Later, I spent time around wholesale vehicle auctions, seeing firsthand what used vehicles actually sold for before reaching dealership lots. It gave me a different perspective on vehicle values and dealer pricing.

That's why I created AutoSherpa.

My goal isn't to sell you a car. It's to be on your side of the table.

Whether you're buying new or used, I'll help research the vehicle you're looking for, negotiate on your behalf, explain the numbers, and help you avoid paying for things you don't need.

If I can save someone money, reduce the stress of buying a vehicle, and help them feel confident signing the paperwork, then AutoSherpa has done exactly what I set out to accomplish.

If you're ready to start your next vehicle journey, I'd be honored to help.
