About Our Founder
Meet Andy Dabbs
Founder & CEO, Clunker Busters
His full story (and the name some readers know him by, Antone Hempstock) is told in his memoir, From Turmoil to Triumph (coming soon).
A Mission Born from Experience
Buying a used car should feel exciting, not stressful. But for too long, buyers have been left in the dark, crossing their fingers and hoping the car they’re about to buy is everything the seller claims it is.
Andy Dabbs knows that feeling well. With over 30 years in the automotive inspection industry, including founding Lemon Squad Auto Inspections, he’s seen firsthand what happens when buyers skip an inspection, and why a careful one can change the deal. That experience is exactly why he built Clunker Busters.
Built on Trust, Backed by Experience
Andy didn’t just enter this industry. He helped shape it. Three decades of hands-on work taught him one thing above everything else: customers deserve honest, thorough information before they hand over their hard-earned money. Clunker Busters exists to make sure they get it.
