Sell-Side Advisory Services for Automotive Business Owners

At Pointe Automotive, our business brokers understand that every business sale is unique. Our process begins with a confidential valuation and assessment of your business to determine its market potential. From there, we prepare professional offering materials and market your business to a targeted pool of qualified buyers. We manage buyer screening, coordinate meetings, and handle the deal negotiations with discretion and precision.

If you own a tire shop in Lenoir City, a quick lube in Powell, or a performance parts store in Halls Crossroads, our Knoxville-based team will tailor the process to your operational strengths, market position, and timing goals. With our extensive industry knowledge, we can highlight the key drivers that make your business attractive to regional operators and national investors alike.

M&A Advisory for Multi-Location Operators

For owners of larger automotive operations, Pointe Automotive offers M&A advisory services designed for more complex transactions. Our M&A team works with companies generating $1 million to $50 million+ in annual revenue, helping business owners sell to private equity firms, corporate buyers, or strategic consolidators seeking to expand their footprint in the Southeast.

From the Knoxville metro area to nearby towns such as Clinton, Jefferson City, and Loudon, we help owners structure transactions that account for both current earnings and future growth potential. We guide you through every step of the M&A process—including preparing confidential information memoranda (CIMs), managing due diligence, and negotiating deal terms—to ensure that your transaction delivers the right financial and strategic outcome.

Real Estate Services to Support Business Value

Many automotive business owners also own their real estate, and Pointe Automotive provides advisory services to evaluate how best to structure the property side of your sale. Whether you’re planning to include the real estate in the transaction or structure a sale-leaseback, we offer commercial real estate expertise that adds value to your exit.

We work with clients across Knoxville and surrounding towns like Karns, Strawberry Plains, and Rockford to determine the best use of their property assets in conjunction with the business sale. Our real estate strategies help maximize total proceeds and provide flexible options for sellers, including those who wish to retain ownership and lease the property to a new operator.

Knoxville’s strong economy and strategic location make it a prime target for automotive sector investors. From Alcoa Highway to the growing corridors of East Knoxville and Hardin Valley, we know the market and how to present your business in a way that captures buyer interest.
