Let me tell you how I became an automotive industry expert of sorts: I was kicked out of high school. The first day of 10th grade, I would not “conform”. Not the typical success story, right? But that's exactly the point.

At 16, I got my first job in a factory, not exactly my cup of tea. Working odd jobs until I was 22, I met a man, Charlie Happy, who put me in business, a move that taught me my first lesson in business: people will pay for transformation. By 27, I'd built and sold multiple businesses, including a jewelry store and a gift and record store. I was an accidental entrepreneur learning what most people never figure out: how to turn obstacles into opportunities. At 29, I worked hard to get my GED

Then a friend mentioned the car business, and everything clicked.

Auto Brokering car Flipping

This book is not about me—it's about you and what you can achieve.

With 40 years in dealership management and training, plus nine years of auto brokering and car flipping, I've distilled everything I've learned into this workbook so you can make money the right way—without the costly mistakes I made along the journey.

Over the years, I invested thousands of dollars in seminars, books, tapes, and CDs. Now, I'm passing that knowledge directly to you.

Auto brokering and car flipping can generate higher returns with less investment and time than traditional dealership work. Someone once told me, "You trade your life for something—trade it for what you want." That advice changed everything for me.

What Our Clients Say About!

— Jan F.

I recently purchased a 2023 Honda Accord through an auto broker of America, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the very beginning, the process was seamless — my broker, Matt, handled all the back-and-forth negotiations with the dealership, saving me hours of stress and frustration. I walked in knowing exactly what I was getting and at a price that had already been locked in on my behalf. The results spoke for themselves: I drove away paying $1,700 below the dealership's own sale price. I had done my research and thought I knew how to negotiate, but having a professional in my corner made all the difference. The Matt knew the right levers to pull, the right questions to ask, and — most importantly — when to push. That kind of insider knowledge is simply hard to replicate on your own. If you're in the market for a new vehicle, do yourself a favor and work with an auto broker before you ever set foot on a lot. I was skeptical at first, thinking it would add complexity or cost to the process, but it did the opposite. The savings more than covered the cost of the service, and the peace of mind was priceless. I will never buy a car without an auto broker again — and neither should you.

I had a very specific mission: find a 1968 Mustang Fastback — my wife's dream car — rust-free and in pristine condition, then ship it to her in Kansas as an anniversary surprise. That's no small order, and I knew I needed expert help. Car Brokers of America took my wish list and got to work. They tracked down a beautiful, rust-free Arizona car that checked every box, then handled the negotiation and shipping logistics from start to finish. What could have been months of stressful searching became a smooth, confident process. Getting the right car was the whole ballgame — the money I saved was a wonderful bonus on top of that. When that Mustang arrived, my wife was speechless. Car Brokers of America saved me time, money, and a mountain of hassle — but best of all, they made my wife's dream a reality. If you're searching for a specific vehicle, especially a classic, these are the people you want in your corner.

When Car Brokers of America went to work on my 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander SE, I was blown away. It wasn't just the price they knocked down — they negotiated a better interest rate, a stronger service contract, and got me more for my trade-in than I originally paid for it three years ago. I couldn't believe it. Watching a professional broker work on my behalf was a real eye-opener. They knew exactly where the dealership had room to move and pushed on every front simultaneously — something most of us simply don't know how to do walking in alone. If you think the sticker price and the dealer's first offer are as good as it gets, think again. Car Brokers of America proved that nearly every piece of a car deal is negotiable. I walked away feeling like I won on every level.

— Susan H

As a first-time buyer, the thought of walking into a dealership alone made me sick to my stomach. A friend referred me to Auto Brokers of America, and it changed everything. He checked all the car's records, test-drove it, inspected the mechanical condition, negotiated the price and terms, and even secured a service contract for almost half what the dealership was asking. I didn't have to fight, guess, or worry — I just had to say yes to a great deal. I am now the proud owner of a 2021 Honda Civic, and I love it. If you're a first-time buyer or simply dread the dealership experience, do yourself a favor and use an auto broker. I will never buy another car without one.

— Melvin H

I needed a new Ram 2500 — base model, nothing fancy, just a reliable truck without a lot of extra things to break. Simple enough, but between working 60 to 70 hours a week, I had absolutely no desire to spend my limited free time walking dealership lots and haggling over prices. So I hired Car Brokers of America, and they took the entire burden off my hands — found the truck, negotiated the deal, and drove it away. I didn't have to do a thing. The whole experience made me wonder why everyone doesn't use an auto broker. The time they saved me alone was worth every penny, and the deal they put together was better than anything I would have managed on my own. I wish I had known about this years ago.

As an emergency room nurse, I spend my days making split-second decisions and putting everyone else's needs before my own. The last thing I have the time or energy for after a grueling twelve-hour shift is walking into a dealership and sparring with a salesperson over a car. Buying a car can be one of the most time-consuming and frustrating experiences imaginable — but Kathie made the entire process seamless, and I mean that as someone who knows a thing or two about high-stress situations. She handled absolutely everything. She tracked down the best deal, managed all the shopping, and even took my trade-in to get it appraised. By the time I walked into the dealership on one of my rare days off, all I had to do was sign the papers. I was in and out in about an hour. For a nurse who sometimes can't find time to eat lunch, that kind of efficiency is nothing short of a miracle. I save lives for a living, but Kathie saved me from one of the most dreaded experiences in human history. I am thrilled with my new car and so grateful this service exists. If you are busy, overwhelmed, or simply dread the car-buying process — and especially if you are a fellow healthcare worker running on fumes — Kathie is exactly who you need in your corner. Do not wait. Call her.

• I don't use the word "awesome" lightly, but Kathie has truly earned it. From the very first conversation, she brought a level of knowledge, professionalism, and warmth that instantly put us at ease. She is the kind of person who does exactly what she says she is going to do — no runaround, no surprises, no BS. In a world where buying a car can feel like navigating a minefield, she was a breath of fresh air. • We needed a car but couldn't get to it ourselves, so Kathie drove out to check one out on Facebook Marketplace on our behalf — a car that was near her but nowhere close to us. She vetted it thoroughly, reported back honestly, and guided us through the entire process with confidence and care. We ended up with a car we feel genuinely great about, and we didn't have to burn a single drop of our own time or energy to get there. • What really set Kathie apart, though, was that she somehow made the whole experience fun. Car buying has never once felt fun to me — until now. If you are even remotely considering using an auto broker, do not hesitate for a single second. Call Kathie. You will wonder how you ever bought a car without her.

• The best transaction ever — and I mean that with every ounce of sincerity I have. I filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy on a Friday. By the following week, Matt had me driving away in a nice car. Let that sink in for a moment. In one of the most stressful financial seasons of my life, Matt turned what could have been an embarrassing, exhausting ordeal into the smoothest, most stress-free car-buying experience I have ever had. You simply cannot put a price on that kind of relief. Matt wasn't just going through the motions — he was actively in my corner, hunting down the best car and the best deal with a level of energy and dedication that honestly blew me away. He was on it from the very start. And when it came time to sign? He had all the paperwork ready and waiting for me on my lunch break. I met him at the dealership, signed, and was back to my day in twenty minutes flat. Twenty minutes. After everything I had just been through, Matt gave me back my dignity, my mobility, and my peace of mind — all before my lunch break was over. I will absolutely do business with him again, and I will send everyone I know his way. Matt, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how much this meant.

— Phil C

• From the very first conversation, Matt made me feel like I was the only person that mattered. He asked me the right questions — what I wanted, what I didn't want, and what was truly important to me. I knew I no longer needed a large SUV. I didn't care much about a sunroof. But I love the color red. Matt listened to every word, sat down at the computer, and before I knew it, he had found me my car — a beautiful blue with a tan leather interior. Sometimes you don't get exactly what you think you want; you get something even better. • What sets Matt and this company apart, though, goes far beyond finding the right car. These are people who operate with genuine morals and integrity. They do business on a handshake — and if you can't do business that way, you have no business being in business. That kind of character is rare, and when you find it, you hold onto it. Every person Matt has referred me to has operated with that same standard of excellence. The integrity runs deep here, and it shows at every turn. • I am so glad I found you, Matt. You didn't just find me a car — you restored my faith in what an honest, straightforward business transaction can look like. I won't just recommend you; I will shout it from the rooftops. This is how business should always be done.

Are you tired of dealing with Used Car Salesman types? Wanna just get your deal done and not have to go back and forth on a price because you just KNOW a car has been marked up way above its value? Do you want to be treated like a human being, not just a sale/commission? We were able to get a reliable car for our teenage son at just the right price. It didn't need any mechanical work, and when we took it to get new tires, it was confirmed that the suspension and brakes were both in great shape (hard to check those otherwise). Bonus: The picture of the car online matched what it looked like in person. When I followed up on the sole issue with the car, I received a prompt response, including confirmation that the title and plate had been sent, and a request for me to let him know we had received them. That's not something you'll EVER get from a big-name dealership. I will absolutely come back to Matt and his team should I ever be in the market for another car. Our experience at Auto Brokers of America was better than any car-buying experience we've ever had. We were offered a cold bottle of water upon arrival. The car we had seen on Facebook was just being washed. It was exactly as depicted on Facebook. There were no slimy sales techniques. Everything Matt did was professional. He knew a lot about the car, showed us the Car Fax report, and was completely transparent about everything. We were shopping on a Saturday night, and he delivered the car to us on Sunday with a full tank of gas. We will go back to Matt for future used cars. Matt is a class act, and my son is thrilled with his Wrangler! My credit? My income? Ok, yeah. My experience buying cars? Non-existent. You can imagine I never thought I'd be driving off the lot in 2 hours after arriving at Auto Brokers of America. I'm serious. I'm not being paid for this review or anything - I just have to let you guys know how thrilled I am. I told Matt I was interested in the Wrangler on the phone on Friday, and on Saturday, that baby was all mine.

• Working with Matt was the best car-buying decision I've ever made. He took all the hassle out of the process and made it easy. He guided me through every step of buying my Honda Accord, from checking out cars and pricing to negotiating the deal, and made sure I got exactly what I needed. His knowledge of the Phoenix auto market is impressive, but what stood out most was his honesty and attention to detail. He genuinely looks out for his clients' best interests. I drove away feeling thrilled with my new car. If you're looking to buy a car, Auto Brokers of America is the way to go. Highly recommend!
