Smart Choices, Smart Moves...
More than a personal car shopper, I listen, I hear, and then give you the best, most objective advice available.  With more than 28 years' experience in the car business, I use my "insider" knowledge to help you get the most for the least.  The advice is priceless.  The service is invaluable.

About Me

What I do: Quite simply, I make the car-buying process simple and hassle-free. Once you give me the direction, I provide you with the information you need to make decisions with confidence.  Then I do everything necessary to bring you and your next vehicle together with a minimum of "fuss," all while helping you look out for your bottom line.

How I do it: Once I learn what you want, I begin the search. For new vehicles, I consult with my usual (new car dealership) sources – sometimes one, sometimes a few – to find the exact model you seek, and at the best possible price.  For used vehicles, I first search my many local, trusted sources before checking with dealers outside the Columbia area.

There's no obligation or up-front cost, so tell me what you want and I'll start looking right away!


Frank Price
I am a Columbia native, and have been in the car business for over 27 years.  I started selling cars in 1982, working at one dealership (through several owners) for over 12 years, before spending the next couple of years in management positions (at other dealerships).  I found that I didn't much care for management "politics" and I missed spending time with customers.

So, in 1997, I set out to become a personal car shopper, bringing my “insider” knowledge directly to my many devoted clients.  No longer limited to a single dealership or brand, I was then able to help my clients with any make or model they desired, a practice that continues today.

Service Benefits

No Stress.  Skip anxious trips to dealerships.  Never feel intimidated or “out-gunned.”  Sit back and relax.  Take your time.  Consider your options.  Enjoy the confidence of knowing that I'm on your team.

Save Money.  I save you money before, during and after the “sale.”  If you’re trading, I’ll help make sure you trade wisely.  When you’re buying, I’ll make sure you get a great deal on a great car.  While you’re driving, I can help you keep your operating costs low.

Save Time.  A few phone calls, a few emails, a fax or two and one paperwork signing session are all you have to do.  Spend time doing what you want, or what you have to do, instead of venturing out into unfamiliar, usually scary "territory" and count on me handle all of the "dirty work" for you. 

Effortless.  You barely have to lift a finger. I do almost everything for you.  Tell me what you want.  I find it, negotiate on your behalf, and then arrange delivery.  Yes, you do have to pay for it, and sign a small stack of papers, but I do just about everything else!

No Worries.  Know that everything’s being handled and covered.  I’ll tell you everything you need to know to make informed decisions about your next purchase, every step of the way.  You’ll enjoy confidence and great peace-of-mind.

Great Advice.  Objective, unbiased advice is the hallmark of my service.  I advise you, as needed, according to your own personal needs and budget.  With over 27 years’ experience in the business, I know everything you need to know.

Impressive.  One conversation with me, and you’ll know you’re in good hands.  You certainly won’t feel like you’re talking to a car salesman!  After one “transaction," you’ll never “go it alone” again!

Flexibility.  I'm not limited to any single brand.  I can help you with any make or model sold in the United States.  I also do everything I can to accommodate your schedule.  Most of what I do is arranged for you at times (and places) convenient for you.

No Pressure.  There’s no “sales” pressure of any kind.  I work for you, not the dealer.  Consider me your “concierge,” or your “agent.”  I help you buy what you want, when you want to buy it, how you want to buy it.

Financing Guidance.  If needed, I can also help you determine the best source for financing (with a lender who has the lowest rate and/or is most compatible with you).

Reliable Resources.  In addition to getting my clients into vehicles they love, I also enjoy being able to refer them to reliable, trustworthy and reasonably-priced repair services – for both mechanical and cosmetic issues.

Simple Agenda.  Your complete satisfaction is my goal, with every aspect of the process.  I want you to feel great about the deal.  I want you to love your car.  And I want you to call me again when you’re ready for another.
