We have been a buying group for new car dealers since 1979. Currently operating out of 3 warehouses in Woodbridge, Ontario (Head Office), Edmonton, Alberta and Ottawa, Ontario. In 2013, we created a collision repair network, CCS, to help our body shop members grow their business. Annual sales exceed $170 million. 80 employees in total. 100% dealer owned and operated.

Our Mission

Providing new car dealers with a market-leading, low-cost, innovative, single-source solution for products and services they require.

Financially, Consolidated Dealers has consistently displayed robust performance, with annual sales crossing the $170 million mark. Despite being a cooperative, it competes with the vigour and drive of any profit-oriented business and, in many ways, outperforms them. The key lies in the unique business structure: the organization is 100% dealer-owned and operated, which means the people in charge of steering its growth are directly interested in its success.

At its core, Consolidated Dealers’ mission revolves around offering new car dealers a market-leading, low-cost, innovative single-source solution for the products and services they require. The cooperative’s work ethic is firmly rooted in this mission. It ensures that the latest and most innovative solutions are constantly explored, adapted, and implemented to help the members stay ahead in the fiercely competitive auto dealership market.

The collaborative nature of Consolidated Dealers’ business model enables the organization to use its combined buying power to negotiate better deals, be it with suppliers or service providers. This capacity to leverage shared interests empowers the cooperative to provide its member dealerships with low-cost yet high-quality solutions and products.

Adaptability and innovation are vital for survival and growth in an ever-evolving automotive industry. Consolidated Dealers has proven its mettle by keeping pace with industry trends and setting them. In addition, it is continually coming up with innovative, low-cost, and practical strategies to ensure its member dealerships have all the tools they need to thrive in a challenging market.

Consolidated Dealers is a shining example of how a cooperative model can drive collective growth and profitability.
