Paul Timoteo has always been a big-time car guy, and he's well on his way to becoming Canada's ultimate car guide.
The former car salesman and president of CarCostCanada.com is positively driven to find consumers the best deal possible when they're shopping for that sweet new ride, and to help steer clients through this confusing auto market.
Timoteo basically takes the guesswork out of dealing with dealerships, supplying members with dealer cost invoices for $39.95, or $30 for CAA members, through his handy consumer website.
His crack team of researchers gathers new car pricing data and sells the information directly to new vehicle buyers. So far, Car Cost Canada has helped more than 100,000 Canadians get discounts ?in many cases substantial discounts ?on the cars they covet.
And his 10-year-old business is on the verge of reaching its target of 10 per cent of prospective new car buyers across the country

Armada Data Corp. is a bright spot in the auto industry. With car sales down 15% to 20% in the past three months and GM and Chrysler continuing their downward slide, Mississauga, Ont.-based Armada Data is enjoying a 40% to 50% jump in sales and a doubling of market share, and it has plans to expand through acquisition.
In its 10th year, the company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange in Vancouver, gathers new car pricing data and sells the information directly to new car buyers via Car Cost Canada.
"We help consumers save money by giving them the information they need to negotiate a better price," says Paul Timoteo, president of Armada Data. "In these times, people are shopping around more. The more research they do, the more they see the value in our service. We've seen a huge spike in sales in the past six months."
