Multi-brand new vehicles
AutoCanada (TSX: ACQ) sells a broad assortment of OEM brands across Canada and the United States to match diverse customer needs. The model mix spans economy, luxury, trucks and EVs, refreshed each model year through factory allocations and launches. Inventory depth and trim availability are curated using local demand signals and dealer-level merchandising to serve varied budgets and use cases.
Used & certified pre-owned
AutoCanada leverages a robust used inventory across over 100 dealership locations to deliver value, trade-up pathways, and affordability for buyers.
Certified pre-owned units receive multi-point inspections, reconditioning and limited warranties to reduce purchase risk and support higher gross margins.
Sourcing blends trade-ins, auction buys and network transfers while digital merchandising emphasizes vehicle history reports, high-resolution photos and transparent pricing.
Service, parts & maintenance
AutoCanada’s dealership service bays deliver OEM-certified maintenance and repairs across its network of over 100 franchised locations, reinforcing warranty compliance and resale values. Genuine parts, accessories and tires boost lifecycle revenue and retention, with fixed-ops commonly contributing 40–60% of dealership gross profit industrywide. Online booking, quick-service lanes and automated service reminders increase retention and throughput, while continual technician training and advanced diagnostics sustain quality and repair velocity.
Collision repair & reconditioning

Place
National dealership network
AutoCanada, headquartered in Edmonton and listed on the TSX as ACQ, operates a national dealership network across Canada and into select U.S. markets, providing broad physical access. Stores are tailored to local brand demand and demographic profiles, while corporate scale funds cross-store training, shared services and best-practice rollouts. This diverse footprint smooths performance through regional vehicle-market cycles.
Omnichannel sales journey
Shoppers begin by browsing AutoCanada inventory online, valuing trade-ins and initiating financing with integrated digital tools before visiting dealerships for test drives, appraisals and final delivery. Click-and-collect and home delivery options extend convenience and reduce time-to-purchase. Consistent pricing and synchronized customer and inventory data ensure seamless transitions across channels.
Inventory optimization & transfers
Centralized tools balance new and used stock by velocity and margins, enabling dynamic repricing and allocation across AutoCanada’s network. Inter-store transfers match high-margin units to regions with strongest demand, reducing lost-sales. Aged-inventory tactics such as targeted promotions and floor-plan optimization cut holding costs and improve turns. Data-driven forecasting aligns orders with OEM allocations to minimize overstock and stockouts.
After-sales convenience
AutoCanada leverages dedicated service lanes, shuttle/loaner programs and extended hours to boost retention, with over 80 dealerships in Canada and the U.S. (2024) enabling local convenience and routine touchpoints that anchor long-term relationships. Robust parts logistics support rapid repairs while appointment systems reduce wait times and raise bay utilization.
