Our Credentials
Who we are and what qualifies us to guide your car ownership
Who's Behind Carbook?
Carbook wasn't created by marketing people trying to sell cars. It was created by automotive professionals, financial experts, and experienced car owners who've collectively spent decades in the industry and as car owners.
Our Team's Expertise
Automotive Professionals
Our team includes certified mechanics with 20+ years of combined experience working on everything from family sedans to performance vehicles. They understand what really breaks down, how to spot problems early, and the true cost of maintenance and repairs.
Financial Advisors
Carbook's financial sections were reviewed and contributed to by financial advisors and accountants who understand car ownership from a comprehensive financial perspective - depreciation, financing, tax implications, and budgeting.
Experienced Car Owners
We've collectively owned over 100 vehicles across dozens of makes and models. We've bought new and used, experienced mechanical issues, negotiated with dealerships, and sold cars both well and poorly. We learn from that real-world experience.
Industry Research
Carbook's recommendations are backed by extensive industry research, manufacturer data, reliability studies, and statistical analysis of real vehicle ownership costs. Claims are sourced and verifiable.
