Our Reviews

Feedback From Our Clients.

"I think they did a great job for us. As a matter of fact, I think they're good people and I think they do a good job. I would recommend them, absolutely, without any hesitation."

"Joe can navigate through the Buyer and let us know what that business culture is like. He can because he's worked in dealerships before, I think he can navigate that pretty well. He wouldn't even bring a Buyer to the table that would match up to our culture unless it was a fit."

"His long-term knowledge in the industry and being able to read Buyers and just having the knowledge of what the next step should be and what you expect."

“They play the long game. Which means he's not just interested in signing a dealership today. He'd like to be able to do business with you forever. And that means you have to have a trusting relationship. And that's the kind of relationship I have with Brian.”

“The many transactions we have done with Ozog Consulting Group have been smooth and professional. We look forward to future transactions.”

"Joe was deft & discreet in his ability to quietly leverage buyer interest in a way that I could never have done without his unique approach."

“Joe came highly recommended by a dealer who used Ozog Consulting to sell his stores to Lithia. Joe exceeded those very high expectations when he sold our store. I would recommend the firm to anyone who is considering selling their stores. He will not only evaluate your situation but he will be with you through the process.”

Comprehensive Automotive Dealership Valuation

Because historical earnings are just one part of the indication of future earnings, we steer away from simple multiple-based pricing in dealership valuations, unlike most other auto dealership brokers. Our focus and discussion are on sustainable earnings and respective return on investment based on the risk of earning. The multiple of earnings is the inverse of return on investment based on inherent risk.

We go beyond the formula to analyze the very unique characteristics of your specific business. At no cost to sellers, our proprietary process includes a complete analysis of your numbers to produce a precise value in the current market environment. We use this information to provide proper guidance to you and powerful knowledge to help you remain in control of the transaction.

Engage With Validated, Interested Buyers.

Through our stringent criteria, we engage fully vetted automotive dealership buyers that have the 3 C’s: Capital, Character, and Commitment.

We never bring to you unqualified buyers who cannot deliver on the date of closing. Your interested buyers will have the financial means to complete the deal and have a resume that should be backed by the manufacturer. Our buyers have the sophistication to understand the complexities of any transaction. You know your investment is in good hands. A Confidentiality Agreement is always executed prior to learning of your business, protecting sellers.

Over the last 25 years, we’ve managed over $5 billion in deals. We have strong connections throughout the industry, capable of providing our sellers with the ability to find the best buyers. Because we extensively vet our buyer network, you are more likely to get to the results in a prompt and professional fashion. Our legacy is to build long lasting, quality relationships where everyone wins.

How Complicated Is the Sale of My Dealership?

In short, very complicated — but we work with you to make the process understandable. Each department in a franchised dealership has its own nuances that need buy-sell attention, plus real estate, location, branding, and environmental condition are very material in the buy-sell process.

Our team is committed to and has a history of delivering the ideal results in a prompt and professional fashion. Here’s what you can expect from the entire process when working with our automotive business brokers:
