About Us

33 years inside the industry. Now putting it to work for you.

Auto Dealership Consulting, Inc. was founded on a simple premise: the dealership model that got us here will not get us to the next decade. Structural change is required — and that starts with an honest conversation.

The founder

The founder

From the floor to the C-suite and back to help you get there

Amardeep S. Kumar founded Auto Dealership Consulting, Inc. after more than three decades of hands-on work across every role in automotive retail from Salesperson through Dealer Principal. His career spans domestic, import, and luxury/specialty franchises, giving him a perspective that is both broad and operationally grounded.

Based in Ponte Vedra, Florida, Amardeep works with dealerships across the United States and Canada, helping ownership groups and general managers understand why the traditional model is underperforming, and what structural changes are required to build something more sustainable.

“Dealers who succeed in the next decade will be those who made structural decisions today — not those who bolted technology onto a broken model.”

His consulting thesis is direct: negotiation free selling must come first. It is the prerequisite to omnichannel retailing, not an optional upgrade. Once price is fixed and transparent, the SPOC staffing model becomes viable, the online-to-in-store handoff becomes seamless, and technology can finally deliver on its promise.

Amardeep’s framework replaces the traditional five-silo dealership structure with a four-department model organized around the customer journey: Customer Acquisition, Customer Experience, Asset & Inventory Management, and Office Operations & HR.

How we Work

How we Work

The principles behind every engagement

Candor over comfort

We tell you what we see not what’s easy to hear. An honest assessment of where you are is the only foundation for a plan that works.

Structure before technology

Digital retail tools cannot fix a broken organizational model. We address the structural issues first, so technology can actually deliver on its promise.

The customer as the organizing principle

Every recommendation starts with how the customer actually experiences your dealership not how your org chart is drawn.

Sustained performance

We build accountability into the engagement from day one, so gains don’t disappear after we leave.

Negotiation-free as the foundation

We believe transparent, price-posted retailing is not optional for dealers who want to compete omnichannel.

Data-driven clarity

Every engagement includes benchmarking, trend reporting, and an opportunity worksheet so you know exactly where you stand.
