Our History
Dave Lenehan (Lenny), with a background in the financial services sector, began selling cars in the retail sector at one of Australia's largest automobile companies.
After becoming frustrated with the heavy sales pitch environment associated with new car sales, Dave saw an opportunity in the industry to start up his own car buying service business for one of Australia's largest finance platforms. This resulted in starting his business, Platinum Fleet, which Dave acted as director for 11 years, growing both the customer base and dealer network dramatically.
Assisting hundreds of clients every year traverse the car buying process, at Platinum Fleet each dealer was vetted to ensure quality customer service and communication to relieve previous frustrations encountered by the public in the past. In 2018 Dave left the platform network and in 2019 My Car Guy was born with the name reflective of his reputation and experience.
About Dave
Dave loves what he does, and is fortunate to drive many different vehicles daily and have an extensive database of clients & referral partners.
Part of getting to drive so many different cars kindly provided by his network of dealers allows him to grow his knowledge of new vehicles to market and research what will work for his client's needs, be that for their family or work purposes.
- A car enthusiast himself, Dave has a penchant for old cars and has a 8 seat 76 VW Kombi, which he uses daily as his family car to travel with his 3 kids. He is also currently restoring a 71 VW Beetle.
- Dave is always available on the phone and by email and does not conform to normal working hours! The AirPods are always in his ear!
- Dave also has a VW Amarok as a mobile office as he spends a fair amount of time on the road during business hours.
