AutoTrust helps dealers grow profit margins, build equity, and improve customer loyalty—strengthening enterprise value for future succession or sale.

Beyond Margin—A Bigger Opportunity for Dealers

Margins matter. But for today’s smartest dealers, the real game isn’t just about protecting this month’s backend—it’s about building lasting enterprise value and customer loyalty that grows over time.

Why Dealer-Owned Alliances Deliver More Than Just Margin

Yes, keeping more profit is critical. But AutoTrust goes further. By joining a dealer-owned alliance, you unlock two key advantages beyond cost savings:

1. Customer Experience

With wholesale pricing and dealer-first control, you can offer more competitive F&I products at better terms. That means customers see more value, trust the process, and come back when it’s time for their next vehicle.

2. Enterprise Value

Your membership in AutoTrust isn’t just a contract. It’s equity. As the alliance grows, so does the value of your ownership stake. On top of keeping more margin per rooftop, you receive annual profit distributions—building wealth in your dealership that extends well beyond the day-to-day.

From Transactional to Transformational

Our competitors treat F&I as a transaction. They set the pricing, they keep the upside, and you take the risk. AutoTrust flips that dynamic.

Every deal you write doesn’t just generate today’s margin—it builds tomorrow’s balance sheet and strengthens your customer relationships.

Why AutoTrust Membership Matters When You Exit or Sell

Whether you’re planning succession, retirement, or preparing to sell, enterprise value is what future buyers are really measuring. They want to see:

  • Recurring income streams
  • Diversified revenue beyond vehicle sales
  • Strong customer loyalty and retention

AutoTrust helps you deliver on all three. By aligning profit, customer satisfaction, and equity, membership strengthening your P&L and your valuation.

It’s not just about today’s profits. It’s about tomorrow’s enterprise value.

Let’s talk—see how AutoTrust Dealer Alliance can strengthen your profit, customer loyalty, and long-term enterprise value.
