Meet Dan Murad!

Dan is an automotive consultant with more than two decades of hands-on mechanical and technical experience spanning repair, performance builds, engineering leadership, and vehicle acquisition strategy.

His foundation in the automotive world began in 1997 when his family immigrated to the United States. Shortly after arriving, his father launched an independent repair business, where Dan worked from a young age. He developed practical expertise in diagnostics, mechanical repair, and platform-specific nuances across Honda, Toyota, Subaru, and domestic vehicles. This early immersion instilled a disciplined, systems-based approach to reliability, cost control, and long-term vehicle ownership.

Dan later formalized his technical training in systems engineering and web programming, building a professional career managing engineering teams and complex technical systems. This dual background—mechanical and systems engineering—uniquely positions him to evaluate vehicles not merely as machines, but as integrated systems involving performance, durability, economics, and risk.

In 2017, he expanded his performance expertise by building a 400-horsepower Subaru engine from the ground up, balancing power, reliability, and longevity. That same year, he joined the South Denver Subaru Club, which became both a technical resource and enthusiast community. Through this network, he remained current on emerging aftermarket technologies, tuning methodologies, and proven best practices within the performance and reliability space.

Dan’s consulting portfolio focuses on:

• Car buying strategy and due diligence – Pre-purchase evaluations, valuation analysis, negotiation positioning, and risk mitigation.

• Second opinions on mechanic work – Objective technical review to prevent unnecessary repairs or misdiagnosis.

• Reviving abandoned or non-running projects (domestic or import) – Structured execution plans to efficiently complete stalled builds.

• Longevity planning – Maintenance and upgrade strategies designed to maximize service life and minimize total cost of ownership.

• Defensive driving guidance – Practical techniques to improve situational awareness, vehicle control, and road safety.

His mission is to preserve the passion and integrity of car ownership. Vehicles should not be reduced to disposable appliances; they represent engineering, freedom, and personal investment. Whether a client is protecting capital, finishing a long-delayed project, or purchasing a dream car, Dan provides technically grounded, experience-backed guidance designed to create clarity and confidence.
