Russell Stokes, founder of Capital Car Advisors, has been a car enthusiast for as long as he can remember. Before this became a business, it was a passion—researching cars, comparing models, spotting good deals, and helping the people around him make smarter decisions. For over 15 years, friends and family across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area have called him whenever they were ready to buy something new. He became the person who could find the right car, the right dealership, and the right deal—without the stress or pressure that usually comes with the process.

That passion ultimately inspired him to create Capital Car Advisors—a service designed for everyday buyers who want guidance, confidence, and clarity when purchasing a new vehicle.

What He Helps With

Russell’s role is to make the car-buying experience easier, smarter, and more transparent. He helps clients with:

• Researching and identifying new vehicles that match their needs
• Finding available cars at dealerships across DC, MD, and VA
• Scheduling test drives and appointments
• Strategies for negotiating pricing and avoiding unnecessary fees
• Trade-in guidance to understand fair market value
• Loan and financing direction (not financial advice, but clarity on available options)
• Insight into extended warranties, dealer add-ons, and what is actually worth considering

No pressure. No confusing jargon. No dealership tactics—just honest guidance from someone who genuinely enjoys the process.

Who He’s Helped

Russell has personally owned and helped others purchase a wide variety of vehicles—from luxury sports cars to SUVs and everyday commuters. He does not limit himself to a niche or a single type of buyer. Whether someone is searching for their first new car or upgrading to something more special, his goal is to help them move forward with clarity and confidence.

His Philosophy

Buying a new car shouldn’t feel like a battle. It should feel exciting, informed, and in control.

The belief that drives Capital Car Advisors is simple:

“Knowledge beats pressure every time.”

When buyers understand the process, they make better decisions—and dealerships know it.
