When it comes time to sell auto dealership properties, one of the biggest challenges owners face is finding the right buyer — and structuring a deal that protects the value they’ve built over years of hard work. Whether you’re retiring, transitioning to a new business venture, or simply exploring your options, having an experienced broker on your side can make all the difference.
At Ben Hicks & Associates, we specialize in helping dealership owners sell auto dealership businesses efficiently, confidentially, and for the best possible return.
Why Selling an Auto Dealership Requires Expertise
Selling an auto dealership is not the same as selling a typical business. These transactions are highly specialized and often involve manufacturer approvals, complex financial evaluations, real estate considerations, and sensitive employee and franchise relationships.
Because of this, many owners struggle to find qualified buyers or end up leaving money on the table when trying to navigate the process alone. Our team understands every aspect of dealership sales — from valuation and buyer vetting to final negotiations — ensuring you get the full value your dealership deserves.
