Driven Brands/Jump Start Strategic Marketing Agreement
Recently we here at AutoStar National Dealer Network had the pleasure of announcing that we had reached a strategic marketing agreement with Driven Brands/Jump Start. What that means to our dealers, driven brand dealers and potential dealers throughout the United States and Canada is that we can now combine the AutoStar Superstore brand with Meineke Car Repair Centers and Maaco Auto Paint and Body Shops. By doing so dealers and dealership locations become a powerful front and back end solution for any dealership, especially those stores that have lost their new car franchise or maybe have a weaker new car brand that can be dueled with AutoStar.
CB Richard Ellis Strategic Marketing Agreement
This week we have more great news! AutoStar National Dealer Network has signed a marketing agreement with CB Richard Ellis, the world’s largest commercial real estate firm, to negotiate real estate deals with dealers and general managers. The plan is to reopen over 100 empty dealership locations across North America as AutoStar Superstores with Meineke Car Centers and Maaco Body Shops where there is no conflict with existing franchises. CBRE has great locations in many strong markets listed on behalf of General Motors, Chrysler, Key Bank and many others. Many of these locations are located in heavily concentrated dealership business centers or car rows.
Own Your Own Dealership
It’s a perfect opportunity for dealers wanting additional dealerships or general managers looking to own their own dealership. Working capital requirements vary from market to market but are very reasonable and affordable and AutoStar can provide the rest of the infrastructure for the store including floor plan, vehicle inventory, parts, dealer computer management systems and all the rest a dealer needs to open an AutoStar Superstore very quickly. There are some great opportunities to secure real estate at prices that make the real estate deal worth it in itself.
