Read the market before you act on it.
Analysis on succession planning, OEM approvals, consolidation and what is actually moving buy-sell activity — plus the Automotive Market Intelligence Report, compiled from the data behind thousands of DSMA valuations.
Market Intelligence Report
What the transactions are telling us.
DSMA advises on hundreds of dealership transactions and completes thousands of valuations. That work produces something most operators never get to see: a view of what stores are actually trading for, by region and by brand, as conditions change.
The Automotive Market Intelligence Report distils it — transaction trends, multiples and regional movement. It is the same underlying data that informs every valuation we produce.

03
