Sometimes it's surprising what kinds of vehicles are out there, like this blue 2018 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Van with seating for 7. It's also surprisingly affordable.

We specialize in knowing the market so you don't have to. You know what they say... "knowledge is power". We use our considerable experience with the vehicle market to come up with creative solutions to help our clients find what they need while staying in budget.

Proof that some cars never really retire. They just become furniture. 😄

I spotted this Cadillac table at Overdrive and had to stop for a picture. When you work with cars, you notice them
everywhere—even when they’re holding the drinks.

What do you think: brilliant piece of automotive art, or would this be a little much for your dining room?

Racing around a track at Overdrive? Fun!

Racing from dealership to dealership trying to compare cars, prices, incentives and financing? Not so much. 🏁

At RH Auto Brokers, we slow the decision down and simplify the process. We help you identify the right vehicle, research the options, locate it and handle the details.

Save the racing for the track. Let us do the car shopping.

RH Auto Brokers works best when you want us to take car shopping off your plate.

If you’re visiting dealerships, collecting quotes and negotiating on your own at the same time, we’re duplicating the work you’re already doing, and that doesn’t give you much value.

We aren’t another dealership competing to sell you a car. We act as your advisor, search across makes and models and manage the process on your behalf.

You tell us what matters. We do the work.

What does an auto broker actually do?

We help you determine which vehicles fit your needs, compare makes and models, search for the right vehicle, evaluate the numbers, arrange financing or leasing, handle the paperwork and coordinate delivery.

In other words, we do the car shopping so you don’t have to.

You don’t need to visit five dealerships, negotiate with five salespeople or become a car expert overnight. That’s our job.

A traditional dealership begins with the cars it has to sell.
At RH Auto Brokers, we begin with you.

We talk about how you drive, what you need, which features matter and what fits comfortably into your budget. Then we research the options, find the vehicle, negotiate the numbers and manage the process for you.

We’re not a car lot. We’re your advisors—and our job is to help you make a good decision.

Some people want heated seats.

Some want a panoramic sunroof.

And some want their car covered in bats. 🦇

The “right” vehicle looks different for everyone. At RH Auto Brokers, we aren’t tied to one manufacturer or dealership—we can search every make and model to find the features, style and customizations that matter to you.

Bat decals optional. 😉

The goal isn’t to identify the most exciting car or the vehicle with the longest list of features. It is to find the combination of vehicle, price and transaction that best fits the client.

A story:

After defining what she needed, our client still had to decide which vehicle and transaction made the most sense.

She chose to lease again because:
• Leasing kept her monthly payment lower
• She didn’t want to own an aging, potentially less reliable vehicle five years from now
• She drives only about 5,000 miles a year

She also realized that all-wheel drive was not one of her must-haves. Once she included front-wheel-drive EVs in the search, she had more affordable options to consider.

She eventually chose a Kia Niro EV.

Of the realistic options she compared, it had the lowest price and the safety equipment she valued most, including the greatest number of airbags. It met her actual transportation needs without requiring her to pay extra for capabilities she wouldn’t use.

That is what the RH Auto Brokers Vehicle Decision Process is designed to do.

This time, the client happened to be one of RH Auto Brokers’ own brokers using the same process we use with our clients. It's the same thing we do for ourselves.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Oh, I'll just drive to Denver and get that car!"

One of our brokers recently had to do that recently and she advises against it.

She had to drive to a dealership in Denver to pick up a new car.

She knows the salesperson personally, and he graciously went out of his way to make everything as easy as possible. Even so, the trip and delivery took most of the day. By the time she got home, she was exhausted.

It was a good reminder of how valuable the RH Auto Brokers delivery process really is.

Our clients simply come to the office, sign the documents, learn about the vehicle and are usually finished within an hour.

You'll have plenty of energy and time left for the rest of the day!

What happens when the auto broker becomes the client?

One of our brokers had been leasing a 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 for less than $200 a month, thanks to the EV incentives available when she got it. With her two-year lease ending, it was time to choose her next car.

So she followed the same process RH Auto Brokers uses with its clients.

First question: What did she need the vehicle to accomplish?
She needed to commute to the office and the exercise studio, plus drive around town for work. Her household has another vehicle, and she drives only about 5,000 miles a year. She didn’t need much cargo space, towing capacity or anything particularly elaborate.

That gave her a much better starting point than asking, “Which car do I want?”

When the process begins with what the vehicle needs to accomplish, it becomes much easier to avoid paying for things the client doesn’t actually need.
