AutoTrust Dealer Alliance: Empowering Independent Auto Dealers
AutoTrust Dealer Alliance is a new, forward-thinking cooperative that empowers independent dealers to compete on equal footing with large public groups. By aggregating the volume of our members, we negotiate lower prices, unlock exclusive incentives, and retain profits that third-party providers typically capture.

Independent Dealers
Highest prices, lowest margins
Even dealers with 10-20 stores don't achieve the same pricing as groups with 100+ locations. AutoTrust gives independents access to that top-tier pricing power without sacrificing autonomy.
