  • For dealers seeking expansion, acquisitions remain one of the fastest ways to scale market presence and build long-term enterprise value. Pointe Automotive acts as your strategic partner to identify opportunities, evaluate financial and real estate risks, and negotiate favorable terms.

    Our Buy-Side Services Include:

    • Target identification and screening

    • Financial and real estate due diligence

    • Valuation support and deal modeling

    • Negotiation of purchase agreements

    • Integration planning for post-closing success

    Whether you’re acquiring a single rooftop or building a regional platform, our team provides the experience and industry relationships needed to execute successfully.

  • When you’re ready to transition out of ownership, our focus is on protecting your legacy while maximizing enterprise value.

    Our Sell-Side Services Include:

    • Valuation and market positioning

    • Confidential marketing to qualified buyers

    • Negotiation of deal terms and structures

    • Coordination with CPAs, attorneys, and lenders

    • Guidance through due diligence and closing

    By combining our operational expertise with deep real estate knowledge, we ensure that both the business and the property are optimized as part of the transaction.

  • At Pointe Automotive, we know that selling or acquiring a business is one of the most important decisions a dealer will ever face. Beyond the operational challenges of running a business, an M&A transaction represents the culmination of years — often decades — of hard work and legacy building. That’s why choosing the right advisor is critical.

    With more than 40 years of operational and transaction experience, Pointe Automotive delivers a discreet, strategic, and results-driven approach to M&A advisory services. We support dealers nationwide with buy-sell activity, succession planning, and market positioning — ensuring that every deal strengthens both your business and your long-term wealth.

  • Not every dealer is ready to sell today — but many are planning for the future. We work with owners years in advance to align operations, financials, and real estate strategy so that when the time comes, the business is positioned for a premium valuation.

    Our advisory process includes reviewing existing ownership structures, planning for family transitions, and designing tax-efficient strategies that protect wealth. By preparing early, you maintain control and confidence over your exit timeline.

  • An M&A transaction isn’t just about closing a deal — it’s about setting the stage for the next chapter. Whether that means securing your retirement, transitioning to the next generation, or reinvesting in new opportunities, Pointe Automotive ensures every decision aligns with your bigger picture.

    We don’t see ourselves as brokers. We are Automotive Capital Advisors committed to guiding clients through the most important financial events of their careers.

  • Most M&A firms focus solely on buy-sell transactions. At Pointe Automotive, we deliver more. Because we also specialize in Sale-Leasebacks and 1031 Exchanges, we understand how to integrate real estate strategy into the overall transaction — a key differentiator that often adds millions in value.

    Our Advantages Include:

    • Operational Expertise: As former dealership executives, we understand franchise demands, manufacturer requirements, and day-to-day dealership challenges.

    • Real Estate Integration: We structure transactions to maximize real estate value, whether through sale-leaseback, portfolio realignment, or 1031 reinvestment.

    • Confidential Process: Every engagement is handled with strict confidentiality to protect your reputation and business operations.

    • Nationwide Reach: Licensed in all 50 states, we support dealers across diverse markets and brand portfolios.
