A loyal client had thrown down the gauntlet; their new Rolls-Royce had to arrive in Colorado within 48 hours – federally mandated drive breaks, weather, speed limits, and unforeseen circumstances be dammed. Failure wasn’t an option.
This wasn’t quite what Steve Yariv had in mind when he founded Dealer’s Choice Auto Transport nearly two decades ago. Shortly after opening a South Florida office for his New York based firm in 2000, a chance encounter inspired Steve to leave his institutional trading career and apply his business and financial savvy to the automotive transportation niche. Now, here he was – with 20 employees, bicoastal offices, and more than 300 licensed operators serving over 3,000 national dealerships-staring down his toughest job yet.
However, Steve didn’t get into this game to lose. Directing three drivers to work in tandem and stop only for fuel, Steve delivered the urgently requested Rolls-Royce to the Centennial State with seven hours to spare.
What most would consider a Herculean triumph, Steve credits to his single-minded business philosophy; do right by the client no matter what. It’s one that has driven his immense success and is the reason nearly all of his business comes by way of client referrals.
It’s also a doctrine that is echoed by Braman Motorcars-Steve’s first client. However, this was no serendipitous occurrence; Steve readily admits to emulating Braman Motorcars’ customer-centric business model-always going the extra mile, figuratively and literally. This commitment to nurturing relationships through actions rather than words quickly established Dealer’s Choice as the preeminent transport solution for the most expensive and exclusive luxury and exotic vehicles in the world, as well as their demanding clientele.
Speaking of having such a strong professional partnership with Braman Motorcars has paid dividends for a car guy like Steve. Growing up his family was never in a position to afford the kinds of cars Steve is now surrounded by on a daily basis. His personal chariot of choice though is nothing less than the Ultimate Driving Machine. Not even his wife’s newly-purchased Porsche 911 Targa offers the same feel and performance as the Bavarian bruisers Steve has procured through Braman BMW West Palm Beach over the years.
Like his clients, Steve knows exactly what he wants and the standard he expects. No matter how far his business takes him, either in terms of the miles covered by his trucks, or professional success, He’ll never waver from the ideology inspired by his first client. The next time the impossible is demanded, Steve will rise to the occasion and deliver for his clients.
For both Dealer’s Choice and Braman Motorcars, along with many other exotic and luxury car dealers there simply isn’t any other option.
