Pointe Automotive specializes in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory and real estate consulting services specifically for the automotive dealership and aftermarket sectors. Our firm supports the buying, selling, and investing in automotive dealerships, collision centers, service and tire centers, quick lube franchises, and car washes. We provide strategic guidance on acquisitions, dispositions, real estate transactions, and aftermarket growth opportunities, delivering tailored solutions that maximize value for our clients.

Our firm offers full-service M&A support to assist both buyers and sellers of automotive dealerships. For sellers, we handle valuation analysis, market positioning, buyer sourcing, deal structuring, and transaction management to maximize the business’s value and ensure a smooth sale. For buyers, we identify strategic acquisition targets, perform detailed due diligence, assist with financing strategies, and manage negotiations to help clients expand their portfolios efficiently and successfully.

We work discreetly to protect client confidentiality and ensure each transaction is structured to meet the client’s strategic and financial objectives.

In addition to traditional automotive dealerships, Pointe Automotive works extensively with clients in the broader automotive aftermarket sector. This includes:

• Collision centers

• Auto service and tire centers

• Franchise quick oil and lube locations

• Car washes

• Related aftermarket investment opportunities

Our team understands the operational and real estate considerations unique to these businesses and provides strategic advice tailored to each sector’s dynamics.

Real estate is often one of the most valuable components of an automotive investment or dealership transaction. Pointe Automotive offers real estate advisory services integrated into every transaction, including:

• Sale-leaseback structuring

• Property acquisition and disposition

• Build-to-suit advisory

• Lease restructuring and negotiation

• Real estate investment analysis

We help clients assess property value, negotiate favorable real estate terms, and structure transactions that support their long-term operational and financial success. By combining M&A and real estate expertise, we ensure that all aspects of the transaction are strategically aligned.

A sale-leaseback is a transaction where a dealership sells its real estate to an investor and simultaneously leases it back under a long-term agreement. This structure allows the dealer to unlock capital tied up in real estate while maintaining operational control of the property.

Benefits for dealers include:

• Immediate liquidity for reinvestment, expansion, or debt reduction

• Continued operational control through long-term lease agreements

• Improved financial flexibility and balance sheet optimization

For investors, sale-leasebacks offer stable, predictable income streams secured by long-term leases with strong operating businesses. Pointe Automotive structures sale-leaseback transactions that align with the financial goals of both sellers and investors.

Our clients include:

• Auto dealership owners looking to sell, expand, or optimize operations

• Automotive groups and franchise operators pursuing strategic growth

• Private equity firms and institutional investors seeking stable, income-producing automotive assets

• Independent investors interested in automotive real estate and aftermarket business opportunities

We work with clients of all sizes, from single-location owners to multi-rooftop dealership groups and national investment firms.

Pointe Automotive’s exclusive focus on the automotive dealership and aftermarket sectors sets us apart. We combine deep industry knowledge, financial expertise, and real estate investment strategies to offer comprehensive solutions. Our clients benefit from a specialized, hands-on approach where each transaction is customized to achieve the highest strategic value.

Unlike general business brokers or real estate firms, we understand the operational, financial, and real estate nuances unique to auto dealerships and aftermarket businesses, which allows us to deliver superior results.

Our approach begins with an in-depth consultation to understand each client’s unique needs, goals, and challenges. We provide candid advice, market intelligence, and customized strategies to help clients make informed decisions. Throughout every engagement, we maintain open communication, transparency, and confidentiality to build lasting relationships based on trust and results.

Whether working on a buy-side acquisition, a dealership sale, or a real estate transaction, we tailor our services to align with each client’s broader business and investment strategy.

Confidentiality is central to every transaction we handle. We utilize controlled marketing processes, confidentiality agreements, and discreet communications to protect sensitive client information. Whether representing a seller or a buyer, we ensure that business operations and market positions are preserved throughout the transaction process.
