Settling into life in Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas is a dream, but that dream often hits a speed bump when it comes time to purchase a vehicle. Navigating bureaucracy, language barriers, and the potential pitfalls of the used-car market can turn a simple transaction into a complex ordeal.
Enter Eric Flores and MexCar PV, a specialized automotive advisory firm dedicated to transforming the car-buying experience from a source of stress into a seamless transition.
Founded in 2021, MexCar PV was established to bridge the gap between foreign buyers and the local automotive market. According to Flores, the company’s mission is rooted in transparency, safety, and professional guidance.
“MexCar PV was born from a simple observation: many foreigners arriving in Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas needed a reliable way to buy a used car, but the local process was often confusing, risky, and filled with unnecessary obstacles,” Flores said. “Expats were facing complex registration rules, unclear legal requirements, language barriers, and in the worst cases, scams and vehicles with hidden defects that put their investment and safety at risk.”
Flores’ expertise is built on years of industry experience. His career began in 2016 at a Jeep dealership, followed by tenures with Toyota, Ford, and KIA Vallarta. It was during these years that Flores realized his true vocation wasn’t just about the machinery—it was about the customer.
“From day one, I realized that my passion wasn’t just about cars, it was about people, and about creating an exceptional purchase experience for every client who trusted me,” Flores said.
However, after years in the dealership world, Flores felt a pull to address the specific vulnerabilities faced by international residents. He noted that without proper representation, buyers often faced “hidden mechanical issues, unclear paperwork, inconsistent pricing, and even potential fraud.”
“That insight changed everything,” Flores said. “I made the decision to create my own path and develop a specialized service designed to offer clarity, transparency, and peace of mind throughout the entire buying or selling process.”
The “Personalized Vehicle Advisory”
MexCar PV operates as a comprehensive turnkey solution. Unlike a traditional dealership that pushes inventory, MexCar PV acts as a buyer’s agent. The firm manages the entire lifecycle of the purchase:
- Sourcing and Evaluation: Conducting full mechanical and legal inspections.
- Due Diligence: Handling negotiations to secure fair pricing and avoid scams.
- Bureaucracy: Managing registrations, transfers, and insurance paperwork.
- Delivery: Providing professional detailing and doorstep delivery.
“We guide our clients through every step of the purchase process… so they can enjoy the car they want with complete peace of mind,” Flores said. “Everything is done under contract, guaranteeing professional responsibility and clear expectations.”
While the business briefly expanded into car rentals, Flores noted that the company recently pivoted back to its roots to maximize value for clients.
“We realized that our greatest impact—and where we deliver the most value—is in our automotive advisory service,” Flores explained. “Today, our primary focus is consulting and brokerage for used-car purchases.”
The Concierge Program
Recognizing that the need for support doesn’t end when the keys are handed over, MexCar PV has launched the Auto Concierge Program. This annual membership acts as a safeguard for vehicle owners throughout the year.
The program handles the logistics of ownership, including insurance renewals, registration (refrendo), emissions testing, and digital document storage. It also offers practical perks like roadside assistance coordination, workshop pick-up and drop-off services, and discounts on maintenance.
“We want to become the one company to call in case they need,” Flores said regarding the new initiative. “It allows us to take full responsibility for your vehicle throughout the entire year, so you never have to worry about anything.”
For Flores, the ultimate goal is to ensure that for new residents, the car is simply a tool for enjoying their new life in Mexico, not a burden.
“At MexCar PV, we are more than advisors — we are your trusted partner in Mexico,” Flores said. “We make sure your car-buying journey is safe, efficient, and truly worry-free.”
