Leadership
David Alesso
General Manager
David is the General Manager at Vantage Auto Group. He’s the person making sure every deal moves smoothly behind the scenes—paperwork, timing, dealer coordination, and quality control—so customers get a simple, stress-free experience from “yes” to delivery. David has been in the auto world since the early 90s and learned firsthand what customers hate about the traditional process: confusion, runaround, and surprises at the finish line. At Vantage, his job is to remove all of that. If something needs fixing, David fixes it fast and fairly—because the easiest car deal is the one that’s done right the first time.

What Our Customers Say
People come for the number. They stay for how easy we make it.
I just got my 3rd car through Vantage Auto. The process has always been seamless. I've mostly worked with Sarah and she's always very responsive. She finds out what we want and our approximate budget and is quick to tell me what my options are - including some out of the box ideas. She's able to find good deals on cars we may not have previously considers. Sarah coordinates everything including test drives, picking up your old car, and delivering the new car. I've been very happy with the service I've received from Vantage and highly recommend them for your car shopping needs.

We purchased a 2026 Volvo through the Vantage Group. From the first contact with David every interaction was done with the utmost professionalism. David kept us up to date during our search which involved several changes. I thoroughly recommend this group and will tell my friends to take advantage of David and his group.

“Easy and pain free.” Say that about anything and it’s positively notable. Say that about car shopping and it’s pleasantly surprising. Thanks to David, Sebastian and team for their soup to nuts support.

Sean and Brandon were fantastic! I cannot stress how much easier the car buying process was with Sean’s guidance and network. Brandon was a consummate professional when it came to the delivery of our new car! It was clean and cared for after the long drive down. I cannot stress how much better it was working with them as opposed to going to a dealer. We will be buying all our future cars through Sean at Vantage!
