👑 Why Ashley

Meet Ashley — The Auto Advocate

For the first part of my career, I worked inside dealerships. Twenty-five-plus years in sales, finance, and management — and eventually as a finance manager and subprime finance director. That last role mattered most. Subprime is the highest-pressure corner of the F&I office, where buyers with credit challenges, negative equity, or limited options often get the rawest deals in the industry. I structured those deals. I sat across from those buyers. I learned exactly how the system works — including the parts most people never see.

Then I stepped away to be a stay-at-home mom for a few years.

That chapter mattered too. Stepping out of the industry gave me distance from it — a chance to see car buying the way regular families see it, instead of the way it looks from the inside.

When my son Chevy got older, I had the itch to come back to work — but not to the dealership floor. I came across a remote role helping buyers navigate the car-buying process from the consumer's side instead of the dealer's, and I took it. I joined a national auto-advocacy company and spent nearly three years on their remote team helping buyers across the country structure smarter deals, audit their numbers, and walk into dealerships with the upper hand.

I loved that work. So did my customers — many of whom I'm still in touch with today.

When the company restructured that part of their business, my role there ended. What I didn't expect was what happened next: buyers I'd helped before started reaching out directly. Friends started referring people to me. Then their friends did. The phone didn't really stop ringing.

Friends and family pushed me to make it official.

That's how Ashley the Auto Advocate was born — not from a business plan, but from buyers who already knew the work and wanted me to keep doing it.

Today, I run two service lines:

• Ashley the Auto Advocate — my direct concierge and consulting practice. The $85 Deal Review & Strategy Call and $999 No-Hassle Concierge service are run by me personally, from the first call to the final paperwork.
• AutoCompanion — a No-Hassle, full-service concierge I deliver through my partnership with AutoCompanion. We source the vehicle, vet the dealer, negotiate the deal, and arrange delivery — start to finish, no dealership visit required.

Different price points, different levels of involvement, same standard: real numbers, in writing, before you ever pay a fee.

It's just me on the other end of the call. Twenty-five-plus years inside the industry. A few years away from it. Now I'm on your side of the desk.

I know exactly how deals are structured. I know where the money is hidden. I know which questions to ask — because I used to be the one answering them.

Now I work for you.

No guessing. No games. Just real numbers and real strategy.
