Thank you for visiting the Dowling’s Automotive Buyers Advocacy Services

DABAS is a family owned and operated client-focused niche business, assisting customers during the car selection and buying process. We act as a solely independent advocate on your behalf to help you during your car-buying selection through to subsequent purchase, saving you both time and money.

Dabas is open and transparent of the fees charged for our services – please click here to read about them.

DABAS operates with an ABN and is also a GST-registered business.

Depending on what DABAS service you have selected or desire we are able to create a ‘buffer zone’ third party between you and the LMCT car-yard staff, ensuring you do not have to feel pressured or stressed by the car-yard’s initial sales process or by the LMCT’s commissioned staff that are sometimes ‘eager’ to meet monthly KPIs.

DABAS charges a fee for its service stages in your car-buying journey

We can structure a package in stages to suit your personal needs and car-buying budget. DABAS sources and assists in buying cars on behalf of the client, strictly according to the client’s instruction brief and their personal budgetary limits. DABAS acts only with your best interests in mind, helping you to find a brand-new or low-kilometre used car that bests suits your needs. The choice of a consultative meeting at or near a LMCT yard/s multi-brand franchise hub as your stage 2 represents the best value option for most clients by expediting your car-buying journey stages, thus saving you money in fees. With this option you also could have the chance to see touch and feel, maybe even drive? – the potentially selected vehicle/s: rather than just hear about them as consultative advice in another place or setting.

DABAS only sources cars from licensed motor car dealers (LMCTs)

DABAS to protect your car-buying security does not source any cars or refer you to any cars from private sales listings or sellers – Why ? you may ask- for your peace of mind and security.

Our goal at DABAS is to save you the many long hours of time it can take to find and select a suitable car and if required – provide a “third-party buffer zone” to most of the car buying process.

DABAS’s  fees  are most times mainly absorbed in the savings obtained for you both in time and money we have stages to suit your brand-new car – or used-car buying  requirements. For more about the DABAS “car auction-buddy” services as a car-buying alternative please click here.
