Nick Garulay

A self-made success story, Nick Garulay maintains Ambassador Auto Sales, Inc., as a dominant presence in the exotic car industry. From its headquarters in Naples, Florida, Nick Garulay's firm offers its extensive network of dealers and customers meticulously maintained exotic vehicles. Over the past 12 years, the company has successfully expanded to encompass 2,000 members and $16 million in annual revenue, with the firm notably achieving $22 million in sales in 2009.

Passionate about cars, Mr. Garulay built an entrepreneurial career that encompasses roles as diverse as reality TV show owner and software engineer. In addition to managing Ambassador Auto Sales, he led Ecar Express in handling the full range of transportation and logistics involved in getting high-quality vehicles to customers and dealers across the country.

Nick Garulay takes pride in the condition of the vehicles his Internet auto dealership offers. Many were owned by people in Florida and were carefully serviced and maintained by a single owner. His firm ties together its extensive network through RiteDrive.com, a website that exclusively connects dealers and consumers of exotic vehicles and maximizes the exposure of its retail and wholesale inventory. In addition, Mr. Garulay and his team redesigned the Ambassador Auto Sales website in late 2011, focusing on making the search experience for niche-market vehicles as easy and stress free as possible.

In February 2012, Nick Garulay notably partnered with Airport Kia in Naples, Florida, in establishing a new temporary showroom for his pre-owned vehicles. Nick Garulay's exotic cars will be featured side-by-side with a wide range of Kia models until the firm's new facility is completed.
