With thousands of M&A transactions closed in the auto-related industry since 2021, consolidation is driving change and opportunity. Despite any challenges facing the industry, agency and dealership consolidation appears to be here to stay. Join National Auto Care CEO Tony Wanderon, whose own company has completed more than a dozen acquisitions, to discuss trends in automotive industry mergers and acquisitions and what we can expect in the future.
"In a time when things seem to change every day, knowing how to navigate the M&A marketplace is more important than ever before," said Wanderon. "It’s not just agencies that are consolidating, but dealers, administrators, carriers, and everyone in between that are consolidating and changing the landscape of our industry."
