WHY US
✓ Practical Advice.
✓ Dealer Focused Support.
✓ Better Business Decisions.
We are paid to make deals happen.
But we are also paid to advise our clients when we think it would be smart to walk away — even if it would cost us a fee.
Why Choose Advising Dealers?
At Advising Dealers, we understand that every dealership has its own challenges, goals, and opportunities. Our approach is focused on understanding your business, identifying areas for improvement, and providing practical advice that supports your dealership’s long-term success.
We work alongside dealers with a clear understanding of the demands of the industry, helping turn challenges into opportunities and ideas into practical actions.
Dealer-Focused Approach
Our advice is designed specifically around the needs of dealers. We take the time to understand your business, your challenges, and your objectives before recommending practical solutions.
Industry Understanding
The dealership environment can be complex and constantly changing. Our knowledge and experience help us provide relevant guidance based on real-world dealership challenges and opportunities.
Tailored Solutions
No two dealerships are exactly alike. We avoid a one-size-fits-all approach and provide recommendations that reflect your individual circumstances, priorities, and business goals.
Clear & Straightforward Communication
Good advice starts with clear communication. We explain our recommendations in a straightforward way, helping you understand the issues, available options, and next steps.
Practical, Actionable Advice
We focus on advice that can be put into practice. Rather than simply identifying problems, we help you understand your options and develop clear steps for moving forward.
Focus on Long-Term Improvement
Our goal is not simply to address today's challenge. We aim to help dealers develop stronger processes, make better-informed decisions, and build a foundation for sustainable improvement.
Hank Torian had two dealerships when he first became John’s client and, together, they grew him to one of the top twenty dealer groups in the nation.
I have known John Pico since 1990.
I was a young General Manager and eventually a partner with Hank Torian at his Lexus dealership on Stevens Creek Boulevard in San Jose, California, from 1990 to 2001.
John handled Hank Torian’s dealership purchases and sales for years, continuing until Hank passed away in May 2021.
I watched John work his magic with Hank Torian for 20 years, and we became close business and personal friends.
