Sale-Leasebacks
At Pointe Automotive, our Sale-Leaseback Advisory Team helps automotive dealerships and aftermarket businesses unlock frozen equity capital tied up in their real estate, providing the financial flexibility needed for growth and expansion. By selling the property and leasing it back under strategic, long-term terms, business owners can convert their real estate holdings into immediate capital without disrupting daily operations. This influx of liquidity can be used to acquire additional locations, expand service offerings, upgrade facilities, invest in new technology, or optimize inventory levels—all without taking on new debt or diluting ownership equity.
Our sale-leaseback solutions are designed to align with each business’s long-term objectives, ensuring that lease agreements support operational stability and cash flow optimization. By maintaining control of the business while freeing up trapped capital, owners can seize market opportunities, strengthen their competitive position, and drive sustainable growth. Whether you’re a dealership group, tire retailer, quick lube operator, or collision repair business, Pointe Automotive’s expertise in sale-leasebacks provides a proven financial strategy to fuel expansion while preserving operational independence.
M&A Support
At Pointe Automotive, our role as trusted Automotive Capital Advisors is to provide strategic M&A Support for automotive retail and aftermarket business owners looking to maximize the value of their portfolio through a buy/sell transaction. Whether you're selling a high-performing dealership, acquiring additional service centers, or restructuring your holdings for growth, our team delivers tailored solutions to align with your financial goals. We manage every step of the process—from accurate business and real estate valuations to targeted buyer or seller outreach—ensuring a smooth, confidential, and value-driven transaction that unlocks the full potential of your assets.
Our expertise spans the full spectrum of the automotive sector, including new car dealerships, tire stores, quick lubes, collision repair shops, and service centers. We implement advanced transaction strategies such as bifurcation—separating operations from real estate—and sale-leasebacks to attract more buyers and maximize proceeds. For buyers, we identify exclusive, often off-market opportunities that align with their investment criteria. For sellers, we position businesses to achieve peak valuation and strong buyer demand. With a deep understanding of both operations and real estate, Pointe Automotive delivers the insight and execution needed to help owners optimize their portfolios and achieve long-term financial success.
Real Estate/Disposition
At Pointe Automotive, our team of experienced Automotive Capital Advisors works nationwide with dealership and aftermarket business owners to strategically dispose of or reposition their real estate assets for maximum financial return. Whether you’re exiting a location, consolidating operations, or seeking to unlock equity from underutilized properties, we provide a comprehensive plan tailored to your objectives. Our advisors assess market conditions, evaluate property performance, and recommend disposition or repositioning strategies that enhance marketability and drive investor interest. From single-site dealerships to multi-location service operations, we position each asset to attract competitive offers and deliver strong ROI.
In cases where disposition isn't optimal, Pointe Automotive helps owners reposition their properties for higher-value use, such as sale-leasebacks, redevelopment, or conversion to alternative automotive uses. We work closely with investors, developers, and tenant operators to structure deals that balance operational needs with long-term financial goals. With deep industry knowledge and a nationwide network of real estate buyers and users, our team ensures that every decision made is aligned with maximizing property value and supporting the owner’s broader business strategy. Whether disposing of an asset or repurposing it for long-term gain, Pointe Automotive delivers results that protect your investment and unlock new potential.
