A leading M&A advisory firm for privately-held automotive businesses

Pointe Automotive is a specialized M&A, Advisory, and Business Brokerage firm focused exclusively on the automotive aftermarket sector.

Automotive Business M&A Advisors

Pointe Automotive is a boutique Automotive Aftermarket M&A Advisory and Business Brokerage firm focused exclusively on the automotive aftermarket sector. We advise owners and multi-location operators across the collision repair, tire and wheel, quick lube, auto service, and car wash industries on ownership transitions, acquisitions, recapitalizations, and strategic exits.

Our practice is intentionally selective. Businesses with strong operations, reliable financial reporting, and compelling market positions allow us to deliver more accurate valuations, attract qualified buyers, and achieve greater transaction certainty throughout the sale process.

We provide confidential sell-side representation—aligning business performance, valuation, buyer positioning, and transaction strategy into a disciplined advisory process. Every engagement is hands-on and tailored to the owner's objectives, helping protect enterprise value while maximizing outcomes and preserving confidentiality.

Pointe Automotive works with automotive aftermarket businesses that are positioned for successful transactions. That focus allows us to move efficiently, communicate effectively with sophisticated buyers, and deliver results with professionalism, clarity, and precision.

Founder and Principal


“I help automotive aftermarket owners maximize enterprise value and real estate outcomes during acquisitions and business sales.”

As Founder and Principal of Pointe Automotive, I serve as an M&A and real estate advisor to owners of automotive aftermarket businesses across the United States, including collision repair, tire and wheel, and quick lube service platforms. My work focuses on aligning transaction strategy and real estate decisions to support growth, liquidity, and successful ownership transitions.

With more than 40 years of experience across automotive operations, mergers and acquisitions, and automotive real estate, I advise owners on how real estate ownership, lease structure, and facility positioning influence valuation, buyer demand, and deal certainty in M&A transactions.

My advisory work includes:

  • Sell-side and select buy-side M&A advisory for automotive aftermarket businesses

  • Real estate valuation and asset separation in business sales

  • Transaction structuring where real estate materially impacts enterprise value

  • Advisory coordination with CPAs, attorneys, and deal teams to support clean, executable transactions

I work exclusively within the automotive aftermarket, advising founder-led businesses, family groups, and multi-location operators navigating acquisitions, recapitalizations, or full exits.

If you’re considering a sale, acquisition, or strategic transition, I welcome a confidential conversation about how Pointe Automotive can help you position your business and real estate for a successful outcome.
