COAST TO COAST DEAL SAVER! I had been putting off leasing a new car because of the pressure and confusion of going through the process. BAC made it a simple and pleasurable experience. Who can say that they had fun going through the car leasing process???! Anyone that has BAC on their side.....I do not regret using their services and am so thankful I reached out to them. First I was asked my price range and what kind of car I was interested in. I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted so they first helped me come up with a list of cars to check out from the type I wanted. The only other thing I had to do after that was go and rest drive them. Ari did the research on the cars and gave me the pros and cons on each, he did the research on what sales people to speak to and deal with and also which dealerships would give me the best deal. It was great!!! People don't want to walk into dealerships because of the salesman that start haggling the moment you walk in. All I did was ask to drive the car and then basically told them to not waste their time talking to me, "give me your card and my guy will get in touch with you". It was great!!! I gave him my price range and BAC did what he does to get me allll the features I wanted plus more and the best deal possible. Actually, my deal wasn't even possible and somehow he got it. Ari was so creative with different ways to get deals and lower deals. BAC is one the most responsive and reliable companies I've ever worked with, They work on your deal at all hours. Did I mention this deal was made in the WEST COAST!!? BAC was right there to make calls and answer calls with dealers working different hours then them. This company made my car leasing experience actually fun. I love telling people about it. They don't know how much of a favor I am doing them until they experience it themselves. Some people I know are already working with him or can't wait until there lease is closer to an end to do so! Thank you BAC for such a stress free car leasing experience. You took all the weight off my shoulders and put it onto yours. For that and everything else you did, I am truly grateful. read more

We work with Ari because he's excellent at finding exactly what we want, and highly knowledgeable about all facets of car buying - but also because he is an old-school businessman who cares deeply about deliveiring value, and gets why we struggle with going directly to the dealership. We have a busy family and crazy work schedules and Ari helps us avoid the constant hassle of dealerships. Recently, we worked with Ari to find a new vehicle and, as usual, he found exactly what we wanted for a good price. But when we got to the dealership, the salesman who greeted us didn't know we had expected to pick the car up that day. We'd secured a babysitter for a Saturday morning as, with our work schedules, we had no ability to take time off during the week to go to the dealership for hours on end. But, the car wasn't ready to go and they told us we would have to come back (not part of the deal we'd expected). After an hour or so they agreed to deliver it Monday morning. Monday morning came and there were issues with registration, with sending the correct insurance forms, and suddenly we were back into the hassle. We had to move meetings around, wait for timing, etc. It was stressful due to the schedule issues. Ari took on a tough situation and was constantly in touch with me and the dealership to ensure we'd get the car, that it would fit within my meeting schedules, etc. He could have easily absolved himself at this point and told us to work with the dealer, but he saw it all the way through - even texting me to check if the salesman was on his way before an important afternoon meeting. This was likely not a great use of Ari's time, but he stuck with it and turned an unfortunate experience with the dealer into another example of his committment to his customers. read more

Ari at BAC provided the easiest, and most hassle-free car leasing experience I've ever had. This being my 4th lease in a row, I know the amount of hours it takes to search each dealership one by one then go in to the one that you think has the car you want only to be hassled by sales people trying to get you into a car that makes them the most money or whatever's available at the moment, never mind not actually knowing what the lowest price they would potentially go down to is. However, since I was in desperate need of a last minute car to get into after my car was totaled in an accident I decided to use this service. From the moment I contacted Ari I didn't have to lift a finger doing anything else. I simply told him what I was looking for and all the specifications I wanted and not only did he build out the car for me and negotiated the lowest price the dealer would come down to, He then found me the same car I was looking for, with even more add-ons in it and got the dealership to give me that car for the same deal so that I could drive away in it within that week instead of waiting for the car to be built. The entire process was seamless, hassle-free, simple and easy. I wasted zero time dealing with salesmen and dealerships going back and forth. I simply showed up to the dealership the day of, signed the paperwork, and drove off in my car within a week. I would recommend BAC to anyone, even those knowledgeable in cars because with a background in the industry, Ari knows to what extent he can push each dealership and how low they'll possibly go! read more

Ari was a superb broker who saved us much more than his services cost, and also saved us a lot of time and anxious bargaining. He was also an honest, great person whom we could completely trust. He is a kind person and a good communicator. We started with a fairly clear idea of the make, model, etc. that we wanted, and soon after contacting him, we separately heard back from a dealership with a very low quote. He checked it out, figured out what absurd added charges they were sticking on after that initial price, and bargained away most of them, after which we were left with a price that was still well below the consumer reports estimates for our area, and even a bit below the range of price decrease that Ari's website promised at the outset. He also presented us with two other options, a bit more expensive (though still a serious discount) and providing more amenities. We ended up going with the lowest price. He was willing to come with us to the dealership for the paperwork, which turned out to be a good thing-- the dealership was a bit disorganized, with our car in a fairly distant lot and the employees in imperfect communication with each other. He made sure everything was done in accordance with the previous agreement, and nothing was tacked on at the last minute. Finally, the following day, going far above and beyond, he drove out to the dealership to drop off our cashier's check (we had sealed the deal on Sunday so couldn't get the check until Monday). A great experience through and through, I would totally recommend him to anyone. read more

I discovered Ari and Boston Automotive Consulting on YouTube while doing reserch on buying vs leasing. I was intrigued by Ari's insight and knowledge and decided to request a call with him. As soon as we got on the phone I was immediately impressed and comfortable with Ari. I sent Ari my specs and he immediately went to work, providing me regular updates as he negotiated with several different dealerships silmutaneously. I was custom ordering my vehicle so we were working to find out which dealers would provide the best bottomline pricing. Ari spent nearly two weeks negotiating on my behalf and never once did I have to speak with a dealer or spend any of my personal time on the process. (This piece alone would've been worth twice what I paid for Ari's services. I can't emphasize this enough. If you value your personal time and your own peace of mind, then Ari and BAC are a perfect fit for you.) Soon Ari had negotiated a great deal and we placed the order. Fast forward to when my new, custom-built car arrived and everything was perfect. The numbers were on point and the vehicle was exactly as promised. I will use Ari for every future vehicle purchase I make. In fact, Ari and BAC are my favorite "discovery" of 2018 because everyone I know has to buy a car, but almost no one likes dealing with the process. I've been telling everyone I know. If you are even curious about Ari and his services, please check him out. You will love what you find and you'll be telling all your friends too. read more

Ari does what I would want/need for a car broker: car I want at cheapest price, don't get "taken" for "extras" by dealers (I'd probably be prone to). I got a BMW X1 for almost 14% MSRP, rebates and such included, but he also warned me off a maintenance package I would've probably be suckered out of an extra $1K for, and saved me God knows how many thousands total vs me doing it myself. Was it worth the flat $295 fee? Um, rhetorical question much? And he was ALWAYS accessible and promptly responsive when possible--for legit, stupid, late-night questions/texts/emails. After the car was in my hands (ie when he had no further obligation to do so), he was more helpful for technical questions than people at the dealership could help me with (once he directed me to the assistance line, which solved my issue in minutes vs 5 days it would take per the dealership (notified them thursday, friday they told me it would be "no later than Monday") this would be fixed, call at Ari's advice, problem (connecting/registering the VIN to the BMW connected website) was done in about 10-15 mins. What you waiting for if you know the car you want? Call Ari NOW! read more

Let's face it, buying a car is an ordeal. I just figure I'm about to be scammed. But just as you should not go to court without a lawyer at your side, I recommend not going to a car dealership without Ari of Boston Automotive Consulting on your team. This man made buying our new RAV4 stress-free. He was at all times (as other reviewers have commented) Professional . . . with a capital P, and made the entire process seamless. Because he was calm, so were we. And he kept his word: He showed us the price range he would get the car for (at approximately 14-15% savings) and told us if he couldn't get that price, he would not charge us his fee. Not only did he get his price on the specific model and package Toyota we wanted, he also (inadvertently) saved us $400 on the extended warranty, which we were told by the manager of the dealership was absolutely non-negotiable. This guy is good. He cuts through the B.S. and tells you straight out what he can realistically save you. And then he delivers. If buying a new car is or has been a source of unnecessary anxiety for you as it has always been for me, do yourself a favor, give Ari a call. read more

I recently hired Ari to negotiate a new lease deal for me. He had received great reviews online, so i decided to go with him to get the job done. Let me tell you that if they could give 10 stars, Ari would get them. He is very professional, courteous, knowledgable, flexible, reasonable and just wonderful to work with. As a single woman, I always feel like I have to work twice as hard to negotiate the car deal I want. With Ari in my corner, I didn't have to shop around, deal with the sales people, waste all sorts of time. I just told Ari what vehicle I wanted and he tried to find me the best deal from Manchester NH down to Cranston RI. Once he found the best deal, he went in to make sure all the details were taken care of. I just had to go in, sign papers, then have the car available a few days later. He also is assisting me with my end of lease for my other car. I will never be getting another car on my own again. ARi gets the lowest price possible and does all the heavy lifting. I highly recommend hiring Ari for anyone needing to buy, lease or sell a car. He is a magician and deserves all the accolades everyone has written about him. read more

BAC just helped me and my daughter buy a 2018 Rav4, and we got a far better deal than we could have gotten on our own. Our family has three leases that take time and energy to negotiate. Despite hours in the dealership, we never feel like we get a "great" deal. I thought I'd give BAC a chance. It was 100% worth it! BAC helped us get an excellent deal with minimal money down. It was really many thousands lower than I was able to get for myself on my last lease. The communication from BAC was outstanding. Ari responded to my inquiry right away and kept in touch with us throughout the process. I told him what I was looking for and the kind of deal I hoped to get, and I got everything I asked for. One thing I was wondering is if the fee was really going to be what BAC states on the website. It was. All we had to do was go to the dealership and sign the deal. My daughter is driving a beautiful new Rav. It's only too bad we didn't have Ari when we worked on our prior leases, and we've already recommended him to our family and friends. We are looking forward to working with BAC in the future on the other two leases. read more

Ever see a hot knife cut through butter? Well, Ari Janessian is the knife slicing through the butter of car negotiating. Trust me, you want Ari to represent you at the dealership. Other then test driving vehicles you don't have to deal with sales people. Ari does it all. He gets together with you to discuss what you are looking for, finds out what kind of a deposit & payment you would like - then he goes out on a search to get you exactly what you want. There are all sorts of dealer and manufacturer discounts he digs up (found a corporate one we used that saved us a ton) and he works the deal. He presents you with options or in our case, got us what we wanted (specific model, trim & color). When we showed up at the dealership everything was as agreed on. Signed and drove away in our new car. Ari was with us by text through the whole process to answer any questions or concerns, plus to make sure it all went smooth. And it did. Ari does new cars purchases and leases. Once our lease has ended on this one, we are definitely using him again. Totally happy with Boston Automotive Consulting. read more

I got a great deal on a 2017 VW GLI lease through BAC! I worked directly with Ari (the owner/CEO) and he took care of everything from A to Z when it came to negotiating with the dealership. He was always on my side, kept me in the loop at all times and definitely made sure that I was comfortable with where I stood during the entire process. Great communication and patience! BAC really takes the stress out of the situation and you're not going it alone. Ari made sure to answer all my questions throughout the process. Additionally, I could tell that BAC has the right contacts in the industry and the knowhow to find you the car you want at the best price! My recommendation is not to go it alone and use BAC! It just makes sense to utilize BAC's experience in leasing/purchasing vehicles work in your favor... I'm certainly glad I did (and so is my wallet)! Since leasing my car, I've spoken to a few others that used BAC and they were also happy with the the results. Thank you Ari and BAC! read more

I always negotiate my own car purchases, and usually have great success but I don't love the process. Due to some life events which had me very stressed out, I decided my birthday gift to myself was to hand off the car negotiation on my latest purchase to Ari and let him deal with the whole process. I had watched his YouTube videos and knew he had my same mindset and could get the job done. His price was very fair and worth every penny. I don't live in Boston (or even in MA), but I was confident even across state lines that he could handle it all over the phone. From the moment I contacted him, he was on it. Ari was the middle man I dreamed of so I didn't have to do all the back and forth games that dealers love to play. Ari constantly kept me in the loop on the negotiations, and was able to get the deal I wanted in record time. I may just have to hand off every future car purchase to Ari to negotiate. I bought a new car with zero headaches which is unheard of in my book. I highly recommend Ari. read more

Let me start off by saying I will never negotiate another deal on a car without BAC. It was about a week before the start of the new year when I reached out to Ari about closing a deal before yearend. I knew exactly what I wanted, but the price I wanted it for would be aggressive. BAC made it happen. Ari had done all the legwork and research prior to us stepping foot in the dealership. This was on Dec 31st, just a few hours before close. The entire process from walking into the dealership to leaving with a new car took no longer than 2 hours. That's unheard of. Ari's passion for cars, along with his knowledge of the car sales process, makes him the ultimate resource for buying or leasing a vehicle. Not to mention, he actually cares about his client's happiness. You're not just another number. Don't think twice, go with BAC. Three of my family members have used them for four different cars. You just can't go wrong. I'll be calling BAC as soon as my lease is up to start working on the next one. read more

I was lucky enough to find out about Ari's services through a talk with a coworker. I purchased his Concierge & Negotiation package, and *oh my goodness* was it worth the investment! I was looking for a great deal on a 2019 Audi A6. Currently this is a highly sought-after car, so I wasn't expecting much in terms of a deal. However, Ari came through in a BIG way. Not only did he negotiate a screaming deal for me on EXACTLY the color, trim, and add-on packages that I wanted, he made the process easy and stress-free - literally all I had to do was show up and sign the paperwork. When I had questions, Ari carefully explained the numbers to me and helped me understand how he was going about the negotiation process. I highly recommend Ari and Boston Automotive Consulting to anyone who loves cars, but hates acquiring them. Thanks Ari! P.S. - Marina K., sweetheart, I think you have the wrong Yelp page dear... read more

Where do I start?!? Ari is an absolute professional!! I reached out to him within the month that my lease was up from Audi. He immediately must have stopped whatever it was he was doing, because I got a text back within the minute! I went over everything our frowning family needed and he came up with options for my husband and I to check out. Not only was he listening to what we needed, but he was able to lock down a rate that was LOWER than what we budgeted for. Ari worked dilengently with me (and I'm not an easy person to deal with!) but he was able to put me at ease as I was worried if we would be able to have this car in time before returning the other one. He was able to get us the car in a week!! i have not worked with someone so honest, patient and knowledgeable in the car business !! Thank you so much Ari for your kindness, attentiveness and promptness in getting us our new car!!! read more

I couldn't ask for better services than what Ari supplies. He is the most professional kindest and helpful person around (and his price is ridiculous). I just couldn't cracked the dealership business without him - I know the prices, I know vehicles very well and nevertheless these dealers try to sell me the less good cars for twice the price. I argue and they go down a bit. reading dealers reviews (2-2.5 stars...) Ari's perfect 5 stars comes to my eyes, and since then all is immediately resolved. More important, even if things come during the process - he solved them. The only reason I give Ari 5 stars is that 10 is not available, indeed all I write is understatement. I could not pray for a better person or better help. Well, one needs an Ari for so many other things in life... To put it shortly - there is no better way to get a car in the Boston area. read more

I highly recommend working with Ari. Not only will he save you hours of time at the dealership but he will also save you the stress, confusion and frustration of the negotiating process. Ari has worked as a car salesman in the past and uses his experience of the process and his network of contacts to secure the best deal for you. However he will never attempt to push you in one direction or the other. His goal is to find the best car and the best deal for you. He does this by listening to you, asking questions about your preferences and explaining as many details of the process as you care to know. It takes someone like Ari who has had a longstanding passion with cars and truly enjoys interacting with people to make his service a success. I'll be contacting Ari again when my lease ends and in the meantime will enthusiastically send friends his way. read more

Working with Ari was a dream come true! I never thought that the process of leasing a car could be fun, but Ari proved me wrong. Within 20 minutes of initially reaching out, Ari was already on the phone with me getting a sense of what I was looking for. Ari is super responsive and clearly knows the business inside and out. I was really impressed by the professionalism throughout the experience. Ari is patient and more than willing to walk you through everything he's doing and manages expectations very clearly. He genuinely wants to get the best deal for his clients and takes care of everything for you, up to literally signing the paperwork. The entire process took less than a week and Ari was able to put me in a higher trim than I had originally planned for. I'm beyond thrilled with the deal and will for sure consult with Ari again. read more

I can't say enough good things about Ari Janessian. I decided on a Saturday, 2 weeks before Christmas, which car I wanted to purchase and contacted Ari the same day. Ari was very responsive in finding me a vehicle and keeping me informed through the whole process while patiently answering all my questions. By Thursday of the same week all I had to do was go into the dealership to sign the papers and I picked up the car 2 days later. Ari easily saved me thousands of dollars over any deal I could have negotiated, but more importantly he saved me the time and stress of dealing with the predatory sales representatives, their managers, and the financial office. For the first time in 40 years I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of purchasing a new car, which is the best holiday present I could have wished for. read more
