Shawn Yates
Founder of Link Auto Buyers · 20+ years inside the dealership · Now works only for the buyer
Hi, I'm Shawn. I spent more than 20 years inside dealerships — sales, finance, and management — watching buyers try to navigate a process that was never really designed with them in mind.
I started Link Auto Buyers to switch sides. I use everything I learned on the dealer floor to help buyers get honest deals, avoid unnecessary add-ons, and reclaim the 8 to 14 hours the average car purchase takes.
My work is simple: I represent you. I don't take commissions from dealers, I don't get paid by lenders, and I don't sell add-ons on the back end. You pay a flat fee, and I do the work.
