Dave Goldberg’s car story begins like many young children’s, with a collection of Matchbox and Hot Wheels vehicles. As a teenager, he learned automobile maintenance, starting with doing tune-ups on a slant-six Dodge Coronet.
After college, Dave’s car experience was again transformed by purchasing his first new vehicle, a Ford Mustang. Over the years, his career has taken varied paths, including selling new cars, a true learning encounter that continues to provide insights for Dave’s consumer-focused articles.
Today, he writes for numerous outlets, including HotCars, a top enthusiast website, and CBT News, a leading resource for automotive retailers. Further, although not a mechanic, Dave’s experience under the hood gives him a thorough understanding of how cars work.
It’s a background he relies on to produce owner-friendly stories about vehicle troubleshooting and related topics. When he’s not writing about cars, Dave can often be found providing consumers with car-buying advice. He’s regularly contacted by readers looking for support in a volatile market.
Dave holds two degrees from The George Washington University: a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and a Master of Public Administration.
