The Biggest Opportunity in Car Dealership Acquisitions Nobody's Talking About | Alan Haig, President/Founder of Haig Partners
20/08/2026 | 45 minAlan Haig is the President and founder of Haig Partners, the leading merger and acquisition advisory firm for auto dealerships, where he has guided some of the industry's largest deals.
He tracks buy-sell trends and franchise values across every major brand, and he's watched Infiniti collapse further than any other name in the business while Toyota and Lexus keep climbing.
He speaks candidly about which franchises are worth buying today, which ones aren't, and what a wave of new competition from China could do to dealership values.

11:15 Ford And Chevy Are Half Price.

Everything else ➤ dealershipguy.comThe Chick-fil-A Strategy Behind This Dealer's Explosive Growth to $1B | Leo Portaluppi, Owner/CEO at P4 Automotive
18/08/2026 | 38 minLeo Portaluppi says the accountability gap holding back growing dealer groups is one owners create themselves.

02:10 Fixed Needs Variable, Vice Versa.
04:10 "If You Want Reliable, Don't Buy This."
08:25 Oil-Change Dad Built An Empire.
