About Alex Mercer

I'm Alex Mercer, and I'm probably a little too obsessed with car accessories.

It started with a fender bender and a dash cam. Three years ago, I got rear-ended at a stoplight. No witnesses, no proof, insurance was a nightmare. I bought a dash cam the next day. Then a better phone mount. Then a car vacuum. Then a trunk organizer. Then... well, you get the idea.

What started as one purchase turned into a full-blown obsession with car accessories. I've now tested and researched hundreds of products — dash cams, phone mounts, car vacuums, seat organizers, cleaning kits, safety gear, and every gadget in between.

What is DashPicked?

DashPicked is where all that research lives. Every recommendation is backed by real Amazon buyer data, spec comparisons, and my honest opinion about what's actually worth your money.

I analyze thousands of Amazon reviews, compare specs side by side, and tell you what's actually worth your money. No sponsored posts, no paid placements — just research-backed picks from someone who genuinely cares about this stuff.

AI-Powered Research

DashPicked is AI-powered: I use artificial intelligence to process more buyer data and product comparisons than any single human could. But every recommendation reflects a clear methodology, and I'm transparent about how I arrive at my picks.

The AI helps me analyze review patterns, identify common complaints across products, and spot trends in what real buyers care about. The result: more thorough research, more consistent analysis, and picks you can actually trust.

How I Make Money

DashPicked is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you buy something through my links, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is what keeps the site running.

Importantly: affiliate commissions never influence my recommendations. I recommend the same products whether the commission is 1% or 10%. My reputation depends on giving you honest advice — that's worth more than any single commission.
