PREMIER SPONSORS
NAWBO South Florida is proud to have Chris Humes of Car Man Chris Auto Consulting as a Premier Sponsor.
Chris Humes previously worked in Financial Services in various leadership roles. However, his passion and true love has always been centered on cars and helping others. As a result, Chris has assisted many new car shoppers to buy or lease cars for many years...hence the name "Car-Man-Chris". Chris graduated from Barry University in Miami, Florida where he majored in Business Administration. He also earned an MBA from Nova Southeastern University (Wayne Huizenga School of Business) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Chris is now the Owner and President of Carmanchris Auto Consulting, a firm based in South Florida serving car shoppers all over the United States, parts of Europe and the Caribbean.
Chris is a seasoned automotive professional, with a vast knowledge of the automotive industry and how to purchase cars for less. He has helped numerous clients to buy or lease the car of their dreams while saving hundreds if not thousands of dollars at the same time. Understanding the needs of his clients, Chris provides consumers with his expert automotive knowledge and successfully helps them to purchase cars smartly. The company assists clients to save both time and money when leasing or purchasing both new and pre-owned cars, as well as advise clients on the best way to sell their current cars. Chris has great interpersonal skills, and easily connects with people. As such, he is able to build lasting relationships with both clients and car dealership staff, that are mutually beneficial to all parties.
