Mike's Introduction
Personal Consultant & Consumer Advocate
Car Buying Consultant & Consumer Advocate
Not a Broker
After 21 years in law enforcement, Mike Ashton built a career on one principle: protect people. Now he brings that same commitment to one of the most stressful financial decisions most people ever make — buying a car.
Mike founded Ashton Auto Consultants LLC to give everyday buyers the same advantage that insiders have. He investigates real market pricing, exposes unauthorized dealer add-ons, and negotiates the best out-the-door price — so you never walk into a dealership alone or unprepared.
Ashton Auto Consultants LLC provides independent vehicle research and consulting services. Mike researches vehicles, compares pricing, and contacts multiple dealerships to identify the most competitive Out-the-Door price — including all disclosed dealer charges, taxes, registration fees, and applicable costs. He works exclusively in the client's interest, not the dealership's, so you spend less time at the dealership and more time on what matters most. The buyer always makes the final decision regarding the vehicle, dealership, financing, purchase price, and whether to complete the transaction. Ashton Auto Consultants LLC does not purchase or sell vehicles on behalf of clients and does not guarantee the absolute lowest price. Vehicle availability, pricing, incentives, financing terms, taxes, fees, and dealership offers are subject to change. Ashton Auto Consultants LLC — Car Buyer Consultant & Consumer Advocate
