How Drive Smart works

Drive Smart is an independent automotive education and media brand. I look at what a purchase costs, where it can help, what the trade-offs are, and when keeping your money makes more sense.

I work at Inver Grove Ford. The dealership has no ownership or sponsorship role in Drive Smart. I may earn ordinary compensation through my dealership job. Drive Smart accepts no dealership referral or bird-dog fees.

Drive Smart never sends subscriber details, inquiries, or contact information to any dealership, even if someone requests an introduction. When relevant, I can point you to a dealership’s public contact information so you can reach out yourself.
