Hey everyone,

Wanted to share something I’ve been working toward for a long time. AutoUnite is officially live!

I’ve spent nearly 20 years in the car business, and I’m excited to finally introduce what we’ve been building.

AutoUnite is an automotive operating system designed to bring the entire vehicle experience together in one place.

Shoppers can research vehicles, compare models and trims, explore features and pricing, calculate estimated payments, and search local inventory. Instead of bouncing between different websites, they can work through more of the car-buying process in one connected experience.

For dealerships, we’re building AutoUnite to work alongside the systems stores already use, connecting the shopping experience with the dealership experience. The goal is to help dealers connect with better-prepared customers and make the process more valuable for everyone involved.

And we’re thinking well beyond the initial sale. Our vision is to bring the entire vehicle lifecycle together, from researching and buying a vehicle to ownership and eventually the next one.

We’re also accepting applications for our $0, 120-day dealer beta, available to franchise and independent dealerships. No credit card required and no automatic paid conversion.

It’s been a long road getting to this point, and I’m proud of what our team has built. I’m looking forward to seeing AutoUnite grow and hearing what people in the industry think.

Take a look when you get a chance. I’d appreciate your feedback.

AutoUnite, a new automotive operating system, has officially launched after nearly 20 years of industry experience from its founder. The platform aims to consolidate the car-buying journey — research, comparisons, pricing, payments, and local inventory — into a single connected experience for shoppers, while integrating with existing dealership systems. The announcement post appears to be cut off before fully detailing the dealer-side value proposition.
