Contact David Melton

David Melton works directly with dealer principals on the decisions that shape their businesses, investments, and long-term enterprise value. With more than 40 years of dealership operating, ownership, and transaction experience, David brings an owner’s perspective to growth and acquisitions, exit and succession, capital strategy, and automotive real estate.

Whether evaluating an acquisition, preparing for succession or an eventual sale, refinancing dealership real estate, deploying capital, or considering a major strategic decision, David’s approach is straightforward: understand the dealer’s objectives, evaluate the alternatives, challenge assumptions when necessary, and develop a strategy that creates long-term value.
