Melton Advisors is a senior-led firm consulting and advising automotive dealer principals exclusively on M&A, capital, and real estate strategy.
With more than 40 years of firsthand dealership experience, Melton Advisors consults and advises automotive dealer principals nationwide — typically long before a transaction or growth decision is on the table. We work across M&A, capital structure, real estate, and facility strategy — including sale-leasebacks and build-to-suit — so dealers understand exactly how each decision affects performance and enterprise value. The goal is never urgency — it is clarity, preparation, and leverage.
