About Shawn Ghomi
Over ten years inside dealerships,
working for you.

Over ten years running dealership operations
The operating perspective
A car deal connects more departments than the customer should have to decode.
Sales, the finance office, service, parts, and the business office each touch your deal. To the buyer they look like separate moments. Inside the dealership, they're one connected transaction.
Financing and insurance (F&I)
APR, term, payment, lender programs, protection products, and contracts.
Business office
Funding, paperwork flow, transaction accuracy, and accounting outcomes.
Fixed operations
Service, parts, ownership considerations, and the experience after delivery.
Customer experience
How dealership processes feel from the customer’s side—and where confusion starts.
Leadership
Former Dealership General Manager with operating responsibility for Fortune 500 and private-equity-backed companies.
Why Simplified Auto exists
You deserve more than disconnected answers.
Vehicle choice affects financing. Financing affects the total cost and available incentives. A trade-in can change the cash picture. Add-ons and contract terms can materially change what you're agreeing to. Simplified Auto exists to help you see those connections before you decide.

Never the seller
We do not sell you a vehicle, never take ownership of it, and are never the seller in your transaction.
Clear boundaries
You stay in control of the transaction.
We do not sell you a vehicle, never take ownership of it, and are never the seller in your transaction. Launch reviews use the documents you provide. Deal Analysis includes no dealer contact or negotiation. Optional Service Advisor Support covers advisor conversations for your service visit. You approve all repairs and charges.
Simplified Auto does not guarantee pricing, rates, approvals, savings, availability, or any particular outcome, and it does not provide legal, tax, lending, or investment advice.
