Dylan Smith

Dylan is a Kiwi living in Japan, a former chef and bartender who somehow traded champagne, cocktails, and kitchens for cars and customers. After years of working with people from every walk of life, he’s now known for straight talk, good humor, and helping military members overseas lock in the right vehicle without the stress. He keeps it simple: be genuine, be helpful, and make sure nobody ends up driving something they can’t stand – or can’t afford.

Trent Thurston

I have a PhD in Psychology with research grounded in behavioral decision-making, giving me unique insight into how people navigate high-stakes choices. I also draw on 15+ years as a private chef and mixologist, global travel from my Navy career, and a passion for creative projects. From writing my cookbook “Around the World on 80 Recipes” to building tabletop campaigns. That blend of discipline, empathy, and creativity shapes the support I provide to both agents and customers throughout the Far East.
