About Simplified Auto LLC
Automotive guidance built from operating experience.
Simplified Auto was founded by Shawn to help people and businesses select, source, negotiate, customize, and take delivery of the right vehicles.
Experience on both sides of the vehicle decision.
Across nearly nine years in automotive retail, Shawn has held leadership roles under both privately held and publicly traded ownership, including experience with a Fortune 500 company. His background includes serving as a General Manager and General Sales Manager, appraising vehicles, overseeing reconditioning and vehicle transportation, and working across sales, service, parts, office operations, and vehicle disposition to retail and wholesale buyers.
That background shapes a straightforward approach: explain what matters, separate the moving parts, and connect the transaction to the way the vehicle will actually be used.
- Planned personal vehicle brokerage and guidance
- Independent deal and proposal review

- Upfit, equipment, vendor, and delivery coordination
- Business vehicle and acquisition education
From one work vehicle to a coordinated multi-vehicle project.
Simplified Auto currently provides automotive education and Deal Review guidance where permitted while preparing personal brokerage and commercial acquisition services for launch after licensing approval.
The commercial service is being designed around the complete acquisition project: define the job, select the vehicle, source and negotiate it, coordinate qualified upfit and transport vendors, review the transaction, and organize delivery.
Simplified Auto focuses on vehicle acquisition and upfitting projects. Ongoing post-delivery operations remain the customer's responsibility.
Simplified Auto Advisory is the company's educational YouTube channel. Videos are coming soon.
