About BZ Auto Advisory
BZ Auto Advisory is an independent automotive consulting service helping clients purchase new and used vehicles through expert market research, clear recommendations, and transparent pricing analysis.
Founded by Ben Zwick, the business was built on a simple premise: car buyers deserve objective, data-backed guidance, not a sales pitch. We are not affiliated with any dealership. We work exclusively for you.
We stand behind the thoroughness of our research. Every recommendation is built on consumer data, reliability records, market pricing trends, and ongoing monitoring of the vehicle market.
Meet Ben
Ben Zwick is a student at the University of Vermont, where he studies finance, marketing, and entrepreneurship. His love of cars started young, and since turning 18 he has raced at Lime Rock Park and Watkins Glen International, developing a firsthand understanding of performance, engineering, and what makes a vehicle worth its price.
That experience led him to found BZ Auto Advisory. Ben saw how overwhelming and unclear the car buying process could be for most people, and wanted to offer the kind of informed, unbiased advice he relied on himself. His studies in finance and marketing give him a practical understanding of pricing trends, depreciation, and market timing, while his background in entrepreneurship shapes how he runs each client engagement.
Ben has been helping friends and family find the right car since he was a teenager. BZ Auto Advisory extends that same hands on approach to every client, combining market knowledge with a genuine appreciation for cars.

How It Works
A structured introductory call to understand your needs, timeline, and true out-the-door budget. We walk through our fee structure with full transparency and clarify how the purchase will be handled, so there are no surprises later.
We build a data-driven comparison of 20-30 models rated on safety, reliability, depreciation, and resale value, narrowed down to your top 3-5. From there, we source specific vehicles currently for sale, each reviewed for seller reputation and vehicle history.
We help finalize the transaction, make sure your paperwork is in order, and connect you with a trusted detailer at a discounted rate. Our work isn't done until you're driving away happy. Fees are only charged to completed deals.
Advisory Packages
Full 3-phase advisory process for clients who know what they want and need an expert to find it.
Complete search plus negotiation strategy support and dealer call preparation. Our most comprehensive offering.
For higher-end vehicle searches, complex spec comparisons, and clients who want extra hands-on support.
Sell Your Vehicle
BZ Auto Advisory also represents clients on the selling side. Listing, pricing, and negotiating a private sale takes time, and it exposes sellers to lowball offers, no shows, and unreliable buyers.
We price your vehicle using the same market data and reliability research we use for buyers, manage the listing and inquiries, vet every prospective buyer, and negotiate the sale on your behalf. You approve the final price and paperwork. We handle the rest.
We research comparable sales and current market demand to set a competitive asking price, then prepare and post the listing with professional photos and an accurate description.
Every inquiry is screened before a showing is scheduled. We coordinate test drives and answer buyer questions so you do not have to.
We negotiate on your behalf, verify the buyer payment, and send them your way.
