The Auto-Bio concept – providing a sales tool for pre-owned sales that is simple, easy to use, and beneficial to both consumer and dealership – was an evolutionary idea developed by the founder of Auto-Bio. With over 30 years of varied experience in the automotive industry, David is knowledgeable in all aspects of the industry. He remains active in all aspects of Auto-Bio - from marketing to technology to production - to ensure a level of quality in services and products that exceeds customers’ expectations. He understands the dynamics of dealership operations and the needs of the sales staff. And, most importantly he understands the importance of the pre-owned profit center to dealerships’ longevity and fiscal health.
