He's Sat in Every Seat in the Store

Most dealership consultants have studied the car business. Steve has owned it, desked it, financed it, and taught it — at volume stores and luxury stores, in boom markets and in 2008.

Every engagement is Steve personally, on your floor. No junior associates. No boilerplate reports.

How It Works

Assessment. Execution. Partnership.

Every engagement starts small and earns the next step — flat fees, agreed in writing before work begins.

Step One

The Dealership Assessment

1–2 days on-site · Flat fee
  • Full walk-through: sales floor, used-car line, F&I office
  • Written findings, ranked by profit impact
  • An action plan you keep — either way

Fee credited if you continue to a Sprint.

Step Two

The 90-Day Sprint

90 days · Project fee
  • Implementation of the top priorities
  • Monthly on-site visits, remote cadence between
  • Manager coaching against agreed KPIs

Scoped to the departments with the most upside.

Ongoing

The Principal's Advisor

Monthly retainer · On-site + on-call
  • Monthly store visit and performance review
  • Direct line for principals and GMs
  • Hiring, comp, and strategy counsel

Limited seats — a small number of retained stores at a time.

Pricing: quoted flat after a short call about your store — no hourly meters, no surprise invoices, no long-term contract to get started.
