Got a revised offer โ€” they came down to $42,800. Want to counter or lock it in?
Let's counter at $41,500. See if they'll include the floor mats too.

Saved me thousands and countless hours of stress. The Car Caddie knew exactly what a fair deal looked like and didn't stop until we got there. I'll never buy a car without them again.

As a single woman, I always dreaded going to dealerships. Having an advocate in my corner changed everything. They handled every detail and I felt completely protected through the whole process.

The Garage portal is a game changer. I could track everything in real time and message my advisor whenever I had questions. Professional, transparent, and genuinely on my side.

Your personal caddie
for the car market.

"My mission is simple: make the process simple, transparent, and enjoyable for every client."

The Car Caddie was founded in 2025 by Nick, whose lifelong passion for automobiles and helping people understand the vehicle market inspired him to offer a better way to navigate dealership operations. Drawing on his love of golf, "Caddie" reflects the role of a trusted guide โ€” helping clients navigate the course with confidence.

His love for cars started early. Before he could walk, he was pushing Matchbox cars across the floor, and by the time he was riding in the backseat, he had a unique talent for identifying every make and model by their headlights at night. He spent his high school and college years as the General Manager of a high-volume car wash and maintenance shop, guiding customers in their purchase decisions and building lasting relationships built on transparency.

After college, Nick spent more than a decade in commercial sales with a Fortune 500 OEM, managing a multi-million dollar retail portfolio. He later transitioned into finance, driving strategic transformation for a captive lender. Across every role, he built a reputation of trust, integrity, and customer-first service.

Today, The Car Caddie combines Nick's lifelong automotive, sales, and finance expertise with his commitment to guide others โ€” whether you're choosing the right vehicle, negotiating a deal, navigating service needs, or overcoming denied warranty claims.
