What Our Clients have to say...

I have had the pleasure of working with Ian Wright and APD for over a year. During this time, Ian has been instrumental in helping my company achieve extraordinary results.

Ian’s knowledge of the used automobile industry is truly unmatched. His deep understanding of market trends, vehicle valuation, and customer preferences has provided us with significant insights that have positively impacted our business. His industry expertise has been a game-changer.

Solutions are always on point, and Ian’s collaborative, approachable style makes working with him an absolute pleasure.

Through Ian’s efforts, our company has experienced measurable improvements in units sold, presentation of our products and customer follow up.

I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Ricardo La Guardia CEO - Panama Car Rental

We have had the great pleasure to work with Ian as a consultant for our Toyota & Lexus used car business and for our network sales process training needs since 2012.

Ian has a wealth of knowledge and experience at manufacturer and distributor strategic levels and has the added advantage of practical retail experience which he has accumulated during his successful career over several decades in the industry.

Dickran Ouzounian Toyota - Cyprus Office

Working with Ian Wright was a great pleasure for me personally and for all our team members. He put himself in our shoes, fully understood our problems and gave us insightful recommendations and a specific implementation plan that was very useful for us.

Since we implemented Ian's recommendation, we have improved out conversation rate in our showroom and we incorporated a few ideas to improve financing and services penetration. We would definitely recommend Ian to any company interested in assessing and improving its car dealership operations overall.
