Traded in Other Exchanges
Address
200 SW 1st Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA, 33301
AutoNation is the second largest automotive dealer in the United States, with 2022 revenue of $27 billion and over 250 dealerships, plus 53 collision centers. The firm also has 16 AutoNation USA used-vehicle stores, a captive lender, four auction sites, and three parts distributors all across 20 states primarily in Sunbelt metropolitan areas. New-vehicle sales account for nearly half of revenue; the company also sells used vehicles, parts, and repair services as well as auto financing. The company (formerly Republic Industries) spun off its waste management unit (Republic Services) in 1999 and its car rental businesses (ANC Rental) in 2000. Wayne Huizenga founded the company in the 1990s to bring the rollup acquisition strategy to auto retailing, which has proved to be a smart move.
