Where Dream Cars Live On: The Story Behind Garage Dream Advisors

Why we started Garage Dream Advisors (GDA)?

GDA was founded by entrepreneur and car lover Maury Gentile with the vision of creating a family-owned digital auto sales platform. After 40+ years of hunting the rarest and most unique collector-cars, from a Nissan Scarab to a BMW M1, Maury found one constant variable, online car sales platforms lacked a personable experience. At GDA we pride ourselves on the boutique family-owned experience we provide our clients.

What differentiates GDA from other sales platforms?

We consider ourselves the “Boutique” of the online car sales platforms industry. An online car sales platform platform that digs more profound than just selling cars and dealing in mass volume. We’re all about building positive relationships and creating an experience both sellers and buyers can enjoy. That’s why our team at GDA are true enthusiasts and experts in their field.

GDA’s corporate office is located in Southern California and provides a wide selection of vehicles including classic cars, resto-mods, exotics, and other types from across the United States and North America.

Maury Gentile — Founder:

Maury has had a passion for cars since he was a little kid and grew up reading Motor Trend, Road and Track, and other car magazines while dreaming of one day owning a Porsche 930 Turbo, Ferrari 328, and a long list of other cars. Cut to current day, Maury has bought and sold 100+ cars through all different venues (with some experiences better than others). After multiple negative experiences with digital auction sites and other automotive resale platforms, Maury decided to launch his own car sales website: Garage Dream Advisors. Maury had a vision to provide the best possible experience to car sellers and buyers with a family-owned aura surrounding the company. This vision is maintained through our friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Chris Gentile — Manager of Special Operations:

Chris Gentile was born and raised in Southern California, the son of Maury Gentile; car enthusiasm was in his blood. To give context of Chris and his family’s passion, Chris first learned how to drive when 16 in a 1993 BMW M5 with a race clutch, which to this day Chris will tell you “felt like stepping on a brick.” With a background in sales and online advertising, Chris was brought on to the team in early 2022.
