O'Donnell Auto Consult MISSION STATEMENT:

After spending 25 years in the auto industry, I decided to use my experience and knowledge to provide a more personalized service to help educate and assist automotive consumers in getting the most value for their money.

My love for cars has not diminished. This created a desire to take my 25 years' experience in sales, financing, leasing and used car wholesaling to create a business which helps consumers have a better car buying experience.

Unless one is in the industry, they don't know if they're getting a good deal.

O'Donnell Auto Consult takes away the unknowns and delivers a time-saving, hassle-free, money-saving experience.

Saving money on the car is only part of what we save our clients. We appreciate and understand our clients' time is valuable and always ask this question: How much is your time worth?

The average number of hours to buy a car is 20+ (serious thought + research financing options, vehicle selection, viewing, test driving, negotiating, reviewing contracts, signing and delivery).
