We’re flexible on the type of purchase (Share/Asset). We do prefer a Share Purchase since it’s a tax advantage to you, the seller, and makes for a smoother, more stable transition for your team members.
For sellers that own the building and property, we are flexible on a purchase or long-term lease of the building and property. This allows you as the seller to have flexibility in your retirement planning.
AutoCanada wants to continue your legacy by maintaining your brand. You have built a successful business and reputation in your community, and we want to continue that success!
We provide industry leading valuations for strong operations that have invested in OEM Certifications.
We can execute on the purchase – As a public company, we have the financing to close the acquisition quickly.
AutoCanada’s footprint includes both Canada and the United States. AutoCanada manages 82 dealerships and 25 OEM brands that includes a car park of approximately 60,000+ cars in each of the past 4 years. This equates to almost $130 million in collision repairs annually. The combination of referrals, a dedicated AutoCanada collision support team, high quality estimates and repairs that are in line with OEM procedures will lead to above average gross profit margins. This winning combination will be more profitable, lead to greater opportunities for all team members and builds greater loyalty with our customers, resulting in repeat vehicle purchases. The cycle continues!
AutoCanada provides its collision centres with OEM certification sponsorships. This collaboration helps build trust among consumers and access to OEM repair procedures, training, proprietary equipment and tooling.
Our centralized services include:
Due to a large employee base, number of repairs completed annually, support services, and operational expertise, AutoCanada will assist you in achieving economies of scale both internally and externally.
