Strategic Growth Partners for Auto Dealership Owners
Carsia Holdings seeks to build a leading auto dealership platform with the vision of delivering value to customers, communities, and employees through obsessive customer service.
Carsia is backed by Access Holdings, a private investment firm focused on building and buying leading companies focused on essential services.
What We Do
We partner with market-leading car dealerships and work hand-in-hand to integrate them into a best-in-class platform. Our platform values operators, honors legacy, and empowers growth. If you're a dealer who’s built something great, we want to help you grow it, preserve it, or thoughtfully transition it – on terms that work for you.
What We Believe
Dealers Are Entrepreneurs First
We believe car dealers are among America’s most resilient and entrepreneurial operators. Most built their businesses from the ground up or took the baton from prior generations. What makes their stores successful is culture, leadership, and deep community ties.
Change is Creating Opportunity for the Best Operators
Sales margins are normalizing. Digital retail is reshaping the model. The best operators are adapting by modernizing fixed ops, leaning into customer experience, and finding ways to grow. We believe this is a moment of opportunity for those who are ready to evolve.
Consolidation Doesn’t Have to Mean Conformity
The industry is consolidating, but we believe growth can happen without losing identity. That means keeping your store’s brand, voice, and leadership while adding the capital, tools, and tech infrastructure to win long-term.
People, Fixed Ops, and F&I Drive Long-Term Value
We believe the long game in retail auto is customer retention, not just acquisition. That’s why we focus on the parts of your business that compound over time: fixed absorption, F&I, employee training and development, and customer lifetime value.
We’re Long-Term Partners and Here to Build With You
We take a long-term view. We’re here to build with operators who want to stay in the game, or exit thoughtfully on their terms. Whether you’re planning for succession, looking to scale, or just ready to take some chips off the table, we’re committed to shared success over the long-term.
