Did you ever wish you had an uncle who was a car mechanic that would take the time to tell you…read moreexactly what's wrong with your car and fix it for you no matter what it took and whatever may by wrong with it? Add honesty and "good guy" to that list of characteristics, and Bob at Sun Auto is that man who can fix your car. Well, let me clarify: if you have an old or exotic car, Sun Auto is your place. They specialize in Jaguars which they seem to work on at least about 50% of their time. Other times, you'll see old Triumphs, old BMW's, other odd English cars, and maybe you'll see my orange 914 there as well. If you have a more recent car from the past 2 decades, this may not be your place, unless it's a Jaguar or exotic. There are a ton of Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy repair shops out there that have probably encountered the problem you're having, so find that mechanic and take it there instead. I've known Bob for about 9 years now, and have been taking my old Porsche 914 to him for exactly that long. He's always patient and always finds a way to fix my car, even though he may have to invest a few extra hours (on his own dime) to scratch his head and solve the problem. I'm no car mechanic, but I'm still a car guy. I do all the regular maintenance on my 3 cars, do body work, and even fix smaller problems that i can diagnose. Sometimes i'll just pay Sun Auto to diagnose my problem for me, and i'll fix it myself if i think i can. But most of the time, if it's at the shop, it means it's something i can't fix. I always know that I will never get screwed with Sun Auto. I keep mentioning Bob, but Chris, the other younger mechanic there is also top notch and over the past few years, he's been working on my car almost as much as Bob. They both know cars in and out, and if you have an exotic or old car, this is DEFINITELY the place to go. Bob (and now Chris) have built Sun Automotive on trust and repeat business, knowing that car guys (and gals) will always have old cars that will need repair. I'm a fan of those guys.

The initial research only put an additional layer of confusion on the process. I remembered Cartelligent as an option to purchase a car and the process began. Zach was on it!

I had a somewhat negative experience working with an advisor at this location, and the experience…read moremade me wary of Cartelligent overall. It seems like it can be good in the right circumstance, but it's worth being a bit careful about it. A friend highly recommended the advisor, saying that they'd saved her a lot of money on her car lease and made the process easy for her. I called and talked for over an hour to the advisor. They were knowledgable and friendly - great customer service. I figured that I may be able to save a little money by looking for a deal myself, but that I wanted to save the time and hassle, so the cost would be worth it. Also, I liked the idea that Cartelligent had access to better deals than I would by purchasing at volume from fleet managers. My plan was to lightly get offer prices myself, compare them to the price Cartelligent got, and then hopefully having validated that they were beating my price sufficiently, I could use them forever and rest assured that it was a worthwhile deal. I reached out to a few dealerships and got opening offers. I was shocked when my Cartelligent advisor came back with an initial price that was worse than three of the five dealerships I'd reached out to, and that was before their $600 fee. When I explained this, they responded a little defensively and asked for proof I had better deals. When I provided it, they came back the next day with an offer $50 a month cheaper than the one they first sent me - a cost difference of $1,800 over the course of the lease! Thank goodness I'd looked on my own and not taken their word for it. The experience shook my faith a bit, so I decided to negotiate with the other dealerships myself and compare. Once I got a bit further into the process, I gave Cartelligent the ability to win my business if they could get to a specific number by dropping their quote a little further. They were unable to do so, so I kept negotiations up elsewhere. Specifically, when I asked if they could get to that number, the whole email they wrote back was "That's awesome. That's a great deal" and that was the last I ever heard from them. With a little bit of work, I ultimately was able to secure a lower price than Cartelligent had before taking their $600 fee into account. Using Cartelligent would have cost me many hundreds of dollars more than negotiating on my own over the course of my lease. At the same time, I was trying to sell my car through them. I did their thorough online process, taking pictures and filling out the form. After it was clear I was going to negotiate a bit and not just take their first price, I stopped hearing about the sale process from the advisor. After the "That's awesome" email, I never heard back from them again, even after asking for updates on the sales process over email. They ultimately never gave me a quote on my car. I think they got mad at me and ghosted me, which I found surprising and unprofessional. It's possible I was able to get an unusually good deal because the EV market is weak right now. The second quote - the one $50 lower - was reasonable, and it did take me a little work to beat it. However, it was clear to me that you should always do your own due diligence and get quotes to check the ones they give you. If you do that, ultimately, you aren't really saving yourself that much work, so I'm not sure the $600 fee is worth it. Edit: David reached out, and we talked about my experience. He sounded as surprised as I was by my experience, and he's looking into it. I was impressed that he would follow up!
