True Confessions of a Car Guy
Buckle up. This is the car business like you've never heard it before.
Hosted by John Gavin and co-hosted by Richard Luciano — two veterans with a combined 80+ years in the industry — True Confessions of a Car Guy pulls back the curtain on the wild, unfiltered world of automotive sales. The highs, the lows, the stories they don't put in the brochure.
John brings 40+ years of old-school wisdom. Richard brings 42 years of experience, East Coast roots, and a family background you don't ask too many questions about.
Alongside producer Bagi, they deliver the perfect mix of real stories, real laughs, and real guests who've lived it — whether you're a seasoned pro or just love everything cars, this show is for you.

Some deals come together quick… and then there’s this one. In this episode of True Confessions of a Car Guy, we tell the tale of a customer who “just had a few questions” and somehow stayed until closing time—three days in a row. It’s the kind of deal that drains your coffee pot, burns your lunch break, and makes you question your career choices—until they finally say “Let’s do it.” If you’ve ever needed a nap after a close, you’re gonna feel this one.
