Where do you start when looking for a car? Where can you get good, sound advice? Better still wouldn’t it be great if all the work was done for you?
Rick at Carfind has four decades experience in the vehicle industry since he was 16, subsequently owning his own Melbourne Smash Repair business from the age of 20.
CarFind started seven years ago when he kindly helped elderly residents purchase a car after they were confused by online car sales.
“A friend suggested I ought to start a business to help others, since my mother in-law Judith Ford kept referring friends to me and of course then the word spread,” Rick smiled.
His expert focus is specialising, sourcing, buying and checking new and used cars for Phillip Island and San Remo residents completely taking the stress out of buying a car.
“There are many aspects to consider with used cars, mechanically, safety, the body work, even checking the history of the vehicle as it could have possibly been stolen.”
Rick locates and makes sure the vehicle is up to high standards, including its history.
Buying a car is a a big investment and the last thing anyone wants is the risk of “being taken advantage of”.
CarFind continues to expand finding vehicles for first-time drivers, time-poor tradies, busy mothers, businesses, and vehicle enthusiasts (such as a Porsche convertible for an 80-year-old in Cowes).
“Predominantly all car sales are online. Many car yards don’t require frontage anymore. In addition, Covid created challenges locating the right car. However through us these tasks were overcome
To consider buying a car through CarFind, Rick invites you to discuss what your requirements are. “Quite often clients are pleasantly surprised there are many better options available to them.
“I also make sure there’s no bad damage or repairs.”
Most of the time customers know exactly what they want, but occasionally they come to him asking the best make and model.
“And occasionally someone will say they want one type of car and I’ll advise them against it and recommend others, just based on things like quality engines.
“I’ve been repairing cars all my life and I know a bad car when I see one.”
Once the type of vehicle, model, make and budget have been specified, books and paperwork thoroughly checked, on completion the car is delivered to the customer.
Best of all Rick’s service is free.
“If the advertised market price is $25,000 then that’s what the customer will pay. I negotiate the buying price and if I can get it for $24,000-$24,500 then the difference is my payment.”
