Areas of operational Excellence

Why Mach10 Automotive?

Filling a critical void

Mach10 was established to fill a significant gap in the automotive industry, where dealers lacked a trusted partner to optimize their operations and rely on during challenging times as dealer principals. Our engagement with dealers focuses on enhancing operational efficiency, succession planning, and acquisition or divestiture.

A trusted partner

We have earned the trust of many dealer principals as strategic partners in the role of facilitating an acquisition or sale of automotive dealerships. That trust is invaluable to us, and it is a keystone to the relationships we continue to build with dealer principals of single-point dealerships and multi-brand groups.

Strategic Advisory

Mach10 prioritizes your needs, offering expert solutions that align with your vision to maximize both your automotive retail assets and wealth generation goals.

Client-first Solutions

Our solutions are customized to address the challenges that hinder growth. By assessing these barriers and developing strategies to overcome them, we create a roadmap and action plan designed to ensure the dealership operates at full capacity and maximizes profitability. We then partner with dealership management to support the implementation of the plan.

Beyond the transaction

Our team of subject matter industry experts provides on-site and remote support before the sale or after an acquisition. For sellers, optimizing performance before a transaction typically results in a higher sale price. For buyers, we help minimize the operational dip that often follows an acquisition, ensuring a smoother transition and sustained success.

Carsten Preisz

I have known Carsten for 25 years since I was the Dealer Principal/President of Mercedes Benz of Beverly Hills. Subsequently, when I was CEO of Market Scan, I was able to convince Carsten to join us. What Carsten did over a 5-year period is nothing short of extraordinary. Carsten’s leadership and world-class marketing and branding were instrumental in Market Scan being recognized, and, eventually, acquired by S&P Global.

I had the pleasure of working with Shasta Pellegrino, who quickly became an invaluable asset to our team. From the moment she stepped in, Shasta demonstrated exceptional organizational and leadership skills, efficiently managing our office operations, payroll, and coordination tasks with remarkable dedication and professionalism. Her ability to take charge and excel in every aspect of her role was instrumental in our office operating smoothly. Though we were sad to see her go after two years, we remain deeply grateful for her contributions.

George Pero

I have known George for more than 30 years since he cut his teeth selling cars at our flagship store in 1992. Fast forward to a couple of years ago, and our family entrusted George to successfully sell one of our dealerships for a number that exceeded our expectations.

Now, as we are all experiencing the challenges of “coming out of the COVID era,” we turned to George and the Mach10 Team as we were facing margin compression as well as other challenges in the store. George’s team did an incredible job, creating efficiencies in multiple departments, including an increase in service absorption in Fixed Ops from 83% to 104% in just 6 months.

If you want to elevate your dealership’s performance, I highly recommend partnering with Mach10.

Dealer Principal
