With over 25 years of experience, our team has stood at the forefront of North America’s automotive business landscape, serving as a trusted partner to sellers, buyers and investors in the dealership world. With extensive experience navigating the ever-evolving automotive market, we provide strategic guidance, valuation expertise, and transactional excellence to ensure that each client achieves optimal results—whether acquiring a new store, divesting an existing operation, or expanding a dealership network. Our team’s reputation has been built on discretion, integrity, and measurable success across hundreds of completed transactions spanning every major automotive brand and market segment.
At its core, our organization functions as a full-service automotive dealership brokerage dedicated exclusively to the sale, purchase and merger of franchised dealerships throughout Canada and the United States. Over the years, we have represented every type of automotive business, from small family-owned stores in regional markets to large multi-rooftop groups operating across multiple provinces and states. Our approach combines the deep financial understanding of a corporate advisory firm with the practical, on-the-ground insight only decades of industry experience can provide.
Deep-rooted Expertise and Market Insight
Our leadership team comprises seasoned professionals who have worked within the automotive industry in roles ranging from dealership operators and finance specialists to corporate executives and manufacturer liaisons. This wealth of experience allows us to speak the language of the business and truly understand the complexities of dealership ownership, succession, and consolidation. We track industry data daily, keeping a close pulse on valuation trends, real estate dynamics, and OEM policies that affect buy-sell activity. This market intelligence positions us as advisors who can anticipate challenges, identify opportunities, and guide clients toward transactions that maximize long-term success.
Having been active through multiple economic cycles, we possess a unique historical perspective on what drives dealership value. From inventory surges and manufacturer incentives to shifting consumer preferences and macroeconomic trends, we have witnessed every turning point and know how to align strategies accordingly. Our clients benefit from this accumulated wisdom and from our ability to translate complex market conditions into actionable advice.
Relationships Built on Trust and Results
Our success is anchored in the relationships we have cultivated across the automotive ecosystem. Over the decades, we have developed a vast network of established dealership owners, potential buyers, lenders, manufacturers, and affiliated service providers. This network allows us to connect qualified sellers and buyers discreetly and efficiently, creating seamless opportunities that might otherwise never reach the open market. Our reputation for integrity ensures that clients know their interests will be represented ethically and confidentially at every stage of the process.
Manufacturers and dealer associations recognize our firm as a respected presence in the industry. Because of this credibility, we are often engaged early in strategic discussions regarding succession planning, regional consolidation, or mergers involving large-scale dealer groups. Our long-standing relationships with both domestic and import brand representatives also allow us to navigate approval processes with insight and efficiency, ensuring compliant, timely transactions.
Personalized Advisory Approach
Every dealership transaction is unique. Whether the client is a third-generation dealer preparing for retirement or a growing automotive group pursuing expansion, we tailor our services to meet specific goals. We believe successful outcomes are built on detailed preparation, clear communication, and disciplined negotiation. From initial valuation to post-sale transition, we provide full lifecycle support.
Our process typically begins with a confidential assessment to establish the dealership’s market value and identify potential strategic options. We examine all aspects of the business—from financial performance and real estate holdings to OEM relations and market demographics—to create a comprehensive profile that captures true enterprise value. For sellers, it ensures a professional presentation designed to attract qualified, motivated purchasers. For buyers, this approach offers clarity on investment potential and risk management;
Once objectives are defined, our team develops a customized strategy to either bring a dealership to market or locate acquisition opportunities that align with the client’s expansion goals. We manage every step, from marketing preparation and buyer screening to negotiation and due diligence. Our firm’s long history ensures that both sellers and buyers trust our involvement, knowing that transactions will be handled with professionalism and precision.
Discretion and Confidentiality
In the buy-sell environment, confidentiality is paramount. Our clients rely on us to safeguard sensitive financial data and maintain privacy throughout all stages of negotiation and closing. Over the years, we have perfected secure communication channels and information protocols that protect client interests while preserving the integrity of ongoing operations. Only verified, qualified parties are ever engaged, ensuring that discussions occur in a controlled and professional manner.
This emphasis on discretion has become one of our signature strengths. Many of our largest transactions have been completed off-market, with only essential stakeholders aware until closing. This approach protects dealership reputations, preserves staff morale, and sustains relationships with manufacturers and customers during the transition period.
Industry Recognition and Reputation
Our brokers and analysts have contributed expertise to national conferences, industry panels, and educational programs focused on dealership economics, ownership strategy, and consolidation planning.
Clients often choose us because of our long-standing record of success and our reputation for ethical, results-driven representation. This credibility has earned us a substantial base of repeat clients, as well as referrals from legal, accounting, and financial professionals who trust our ability to deliver under the most complex circumstances. We take pride in maintaining this reputation and continually strive to set the standard for excellence in dealership brokerage.
The Value of Experience
Experience is not just a measure of time—it is a measure of refined judgment. After decades immersed in automotive retail, we know the difference between a good offer and a great deal, and we understand how to align both sides of the table toward a win-win outcome. We have seen the rise of digital retailing, the evolution of dealership real estate models, and the increasing importance of multi-brand portfolios. Through all these shifts, our role has remained constant: to provide clarity, strategy, and confidence to clients navigating one of the most significant financial decisions of their careers.
Our clients often remark on how smoothly their transactions progress—a testament to the depth of our preparation and our proactive management of each stage. From financial modeling to manufacturer relations, from legal coordination to operational transition, we ensure that every aspect is anticipated and handled with precision.
Strategic Partnerships and Continued Growth
In recent years, we have expanded our advisory capabilities to include valuations for estate planning, partnership restructuring, and manufacturer compliance. Our expertise also extends into allied sectors such as commercial real estate and technology-driven mobility ventures that intersect with traditional dealership operations. These services allow us to support clients not only in the moment of transaction but throughout their broader business lifecycle.
By maintaining affiliates across North America, our brokerage offers both local market understanding and cross-border reach. Whether facilitating the sale of a single-point dealership in Western Canada or brokering a multi-state acquisition in the U.S., our structure ensures that clients receive the same level of service, insight, and professionalism.
A Tradition of Excellence
Our company’s legacy rests on three enduring principles: integrity, expertise, and service. We believe that trust must be earned through consistent performance and transparent communication. Every interaction with clients, manufacturers, and partners reflects our commitment to those values. The automotive industry continues to evolve, driven by new technologies, consumer behaviors, and corporate models. Yet the need for experienced, ethical, and strategic advisors remains as vital as ever—and that is the role we continue to fulfill with pride and precision.
As we look to the future, our mission remains clear: to empower dealership owners and investors with the knowledge, connections, and guidance necessary to succeed in a competitive and dynamic marketplace. Whether you are exploring the sale of your dealership(s), succession planning, expanding your automotive portfolio, or seeking to partner with one of the most trusted names in the industry, our brokerage stands ready to deliver results.
