Meet Josh Howerton

I spent over seven years in car sales, across multiple brands and multiple dealerships, after starting out doing door to door sales for about a year. So I know this business from the inside, not from the outside looking in.

I left the industry in 2019 to trade full time. But my old customers kept calling. "Hey Josh, I'm in the market, where you at?" I wasn't in the business anymore, but they didn't feel comfortable buying from anyone else. So I started helping them on the side, brokering deals, evaluating trade-ins, handling the whole process for them, remotely, across the country. Ten, fifteen times, easy. Friends, family, past clients. Every time, the goal was the same: get them the best deal and make it painless.

That's when it hit me. There's a real problem in this industry, and I'm a builder, so I wanted to build the fix.

Every other industry changed. Car buying didn't.

Think about the last 25 years. Almost everything you buy got easier. Car buying didn't. You're still spending 15 to 20 hours doing research, driving to three or four dealerships, going through the same back and forth, the same tactics, walking out not even sure if you got a fair deal. Even when regulators try to force more transparency, dealerships find the loopholes.

I know because I lived it from the other side of the desk. I'd have a manager tell me to go ask a customer for another hundred dollars a month in profit, when we could've already made the deal work. That's someone on a fixed income. It never sat right with me. It messed with me every time I had to do it.

So I built Driv3Away

That's Driv3Away. I handle the entire process, start to finish, so you don't have to. You show up, sign your paperwork, grab your keys, and drive away in under an hour, knowing you got the best deal instead of wondering if you did.

One flat fee, no commissions, no dealer kickbacks. I earn the same whether your car costs $25,000 or $500,000, which means the only thing I'm working toward is your number.
