I’m André Carvalho, an automotive professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience in body repair, painting, collision repair, and buying and rebuilding vehicles.

I created Garage Truth to share the real-world knowledge I’ve learned working on cars — without the hype or “get rich quick” promises.

My goal is simple: help regular people understand cars, make better decisions, avoid expensive mistakes, and learn skills they can actually use.

The Copart Auction Buying Blueprint is built from that real-world experience, showing you how I approach auction cars, repair costs, market value, parts, and the numbers before making a purchase.

Learn the process. Calculate the numbers. Make smarter decisions.
