Northeast Dealer Group
“It is with great pleasure that I recommend David Melton to you. Recently we decided that we needed to sell one of our dealerships that was a little too far away for us to operate in the manner we expect. We spoke to a half dozen brokers, and after talking to David on multiple occasions, we decided that he would be our best bet for selling the store quickly due to his personality and wide range of contacts and reach. We chose properly as David had our Jeep – Chrysler – Dodge – Ram dealership in front of a qualified buyer within days and within two and a half months – Sold and in the capable hands of the new dealer!”
“David Melton was there for us as well as the buyer throughout the process. He is very patient, knowledgeable, fair, and pleasant to work and speak with”… -
Ohio AutoGroup
“Mr. David Melton was fantastic throughout the entire process of our purchase of a dealership in Grove City, Pa. We had quite a few hurdles during the due diligence period. With all the laws and regulations that the manufacture, state, county, and township put in your way to conduct and purchase a business, Mr. Melton was an invaluable resource with his experience and knowledge. Having run dealerships, himself Mr. Melton is the perfect broker to provide realistic in-depth view of any store. He can break down a statement at a level that not many can. I would highly recommend Mr. Melton to anyone who is considering selling or buying a store. Being in our position running and owning a dealership it is difficult to find people to talk to about market conditions, real estate, and expectations etc. Mr. Melton was that person for me. I now call Mr. Melton a friend and look forward to working with him in the future!”

Pennsylvania Chevrolet Dealer
“This is my first dealership purchase utilizing a broker. I had concerns if this would make the deal too complex. But like anything else, if you do business with great people, the outcome is always great! David and his team were fantastic. Total and complete transparency. David answered his cell phone EVERY time I called and worked extremely hard for seller AND buyer to make a fair and simple transaction. David was there every step of the way and personally saw the closing through until the last document was signed. Very impressed with the company and most importantly, David. I made a deal and I made a friend. Many more to follow. Call me personally for a reference.”

Alabama Ford Dealer
“David Melton is fantastic. From the first day we met David through the closing, he was terrific to deal with and handheld us through the process. David worked tirelessly to find us the right buyer, and once we discovered that the buyer was constantly communicating with their owner to ensure a smooth purchase and transition. David set realistic expectations throughout the process and far exceeded those expectations, including the time to find the buyer. He could keep the listing discreet, which was our primary concern. David also helped us in every aspect, including ensuring we received our business's full value. We cannot thank David enough for his help and guidance throughout the process. He made this a very profitable and smooth sale.”

Southeast Automotive Group
“Dear David, thank you so much for finding me a qualified buyer so quickly. One of my major goals was to have a buyer that would continue what my family built over 59 years. The buyer is truly that person. From our first meeting to the sale of my dealership, everything went extremely well and all of us got along great! The pricing structure was right on target and your fee was very fair. Maybe even more than fair due to the short time from start to finish. You understood it was a big step for me and you were patient on my decision. You were very professional, excellent on communication, quick and very helpful. It was a real pleasure working with you.”

His calm demeanor helped reduce the sense of urgency and panic when things weren’t going well, precisely what your advisor wants! David also never misled or falsely advertised my dealership.
