About Us

Welcome to Pittsburgh Automotives—where car talk meets real life.

We’re not here to tell you what you should be driving. We’re here to help you figure out what fits—your life, your needs, your budget, and your next big move.

Whether you’re buying your first car, selling your third, reading up on this year’s newest releases, or just curious about what’s shaping the auto industry today, we’ve got you covered. Pittsburgh Automotives is built for people who want to feel confident, not confused, when it comes to anything on four wheels.

We don’t assume you’re an expert. We don’t throw around specs without context. We break it down, keep it real, and help you make decisions you can stand behind—whether you’re looking for something practical, powerful, or somewhere in between.

This is Pittsburgh Automotives. Built for real drivers, curious shoppers, and the occasional car dreamer.

Who We Are

We’re a small team with a big goal: to make automotive content more useful, more honest, and more human.

Pittsburgh Automotives started because we saw a gap—between dealership marketing and real-world car ownership. Between glossy reviews and the gritty reality of buying, maintaining, or reselling a vehicle. Between specs on paper and what it’s actually like to drive something through Pittsburgh potholes or an unexpected snowstorm.

Some of us grew up wrenching in garages. Others came from the journalism world. Some are car nerds who can identify a make from one headlight. Others are just people who’ve been burned by a bad deal and decided to make sure it doesn’t happen to you.

Together, we’ve been on both sides—buyer and seller, enthusiast and learner, cautious commuter and road trip warrior.

We’re not here to sell you a car. We’re here to help you understand one. And that difference matters.

What We Cover

Buying & Selling

Let’s be honest: buying or selling a car can feel like a maze.

There’s pressure. There’s fine print. There are trade-in values that somehow drop by the minute. Whether you’re selling your car privately, trading it in, or walking into a dealership for the first time—we’ve been there.

At Pittsburgh Automotives, we guide you through every step of the process:

  • How to evaluate a car’s real value

  • What paperwork you actually need

  • How to avoid dealership pressure tactics

  • When to negotiate (and when to walk away)

  • What to ask before signing anything

  • How to prep your car for a resale that actually gets attention

We help you understand car listings, spot red flags, decode VIN reports, and navigate financing without that “did I just get played?” feeling.

No shame. No assumptions. Just the kind of help you’d want from a friend who knows what they’re doing.

Reviews & Features

Not every car review needs a drone shot and a race track.

At Pittsburgh Automotives, our reviews are written with everyday drivers in mind. We don’t just talk torque—we talk trunk space. We don’t just test on open roads—we take note of traffic, comfort, road noise, and real-world fuel economy.

We cover:

  • In-depth reviews of new and used models

  • Side-by-side comparisons across segments and brands

  • First-look features of upcoming launches

  • Honest pros and cons (no sugarcoating)

  • Long-term ownership impressions—what changes after the new car smell fades?

We also spotlight underappreciated models, unique trims, or discontinued legends that deserve more attention.

Every review is focused on one thing: helping you decide if this car is right for your life—not just your wishlist.

Industry Trends

Cars aren’t just machines anymore—they’re reflections of tech, economy, sustainability, and culture. So when the auto industry shifts, it matters—even if you’re not planning to buy tomorrow.

That’s why we cover:

  • EV adoption (and what it actually means for Pittsburgh drivers)

  • The rise and fall of car subscription services

  • Inflation, interest rates, and how they affect buying power

  • Tech trends like driver assist systems and in-dash infotainment

  • Changing regulations and what they mean for your emissions, inspection, or registration

  • The weird and wonderful future of mobility (yes, we see the flying car prototypes too)

We don’t just report—we explain. In plain English. With context that makes it personal. Because if it affects the way you drive, spend, or plan, it’s worth knowing.

Our Approach

We believe automotive content doesn’t have to be complicated, condescending, or overproduced to be credible.

So here’s what you’ll get from us:

  • Clarity: No confusing terms, no filler—just what you need to know

  • Balance: Every car has strengths and flaws—we’ll tell you both

  • Perspective: Not everyone’s looking for the fastest engine or fanciest tech. We get that.

  • Respect: We don’t assume your budget or your lifestyle—we meet you where you are

  • Honesty: If we review it, we drove it. If we recommend it, we mean it.

We don’t do flashy for the sake of clicks. We don’t rank cars by sponsorship dollars. And we never write a review without driving the car ourselves (or someone we trust did).

You’re not just a consumer. You’re a driver, a buyer, a thinker. And we treat you like one.
