What We Do

Special Events

As an old saying goes, ‘You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” For the automotive industry this rings true every single day. NAVS has consistently presented our clients with turn-key programs in locations that would be difficult to find on any map. From planning and execution through wrap-up and reconciliation we have managed some of the most complex, informative and entertaining (did we mention complex?) media launches utilizing the most diverse and experienced team of specialists in the industry.

In the ultra-competitive business of getting your message across loud and clear, NAVS has demonstrated value time and time again by helping to create an atmosphere where our PR clients can focus on their guests while we tackle the logistics.

Vehicle Loans

NAVS roots run deep. All of our offices enjoy long-standing relationships with the local auto writers and the regional media groups.

Our clients trust that when we place a vehicle with a journalist, influencer or other media outlet that the car or truck will be completely detailed, inspected and examined for any damage, defect or drivability issue and then delivered on time as promised with a full tank of gas. Additionally, NAVS staff will brief the borrower and new vehicle features, options and operation as well as provide pricing information and loan (authorization) agreements.
