UGI Dealer Solutions guides independent entrepreneurs through every step of becoming a licensed auto dealer — the paperwork, the bond, the location, the compliance — so you can start buying and selling cars with confidence.
We eliminate the guesswork of setting up your LLC or corporation to the state application process for your dealer license — we help you through every step!
You'll meet with a dealer specialist to go over your goals, your options, the requirements, and the costs involved — and get every question answered.
We identify everyone who'll be part of your dealership and collect driver's licenses for anyone driving on dealer plates. Our insurance specialist reviews each person's motor vehicle record to confirm they're insurable.
We form your LLC or corporation and obtain your federal Employer Identification Number, so your dealership is ready for licensing and banking.
Your dealership needs a business address — in most states, your home won't qualify. UGI sets up a state-compliant office that's maintained for as long as you hold your license.
We prepare your dealer license application and walk you through every piece of information the state requires.
Our insurance specialists secure the best rates on your dealer bond and liability insurance, and make the whole process easy.
We review your final application, submit it to the state, and act as your point of contact — responding to any state requests and keeping you updated throughout.
Once your application is approved for inspection, we schedule your location inspection. After it's completed and your license is approved, you'll receive your license and dealer plate application by email.
We pick up your license certificate and dealer plates from the DMV and forward them directly to you.
We register your company for auction access — Manheim, ADESA, ACV, OPENLANE, CarMax, EDGEPIPLINE, IAA, Copart, and hundreds of regional wholesale auctions. You're ready to start buying and selling.
Stop wasting time watching every video on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Most influencers who claim to make a ton of money "flipping cars" are really making their money by you watching and supporting their videos. A few creators share valid information on how to get your dealer's license — but most don't give you the real, legitimate picture of the car dealer industry.
Tell us about your state and your goals. We'll walk you through exactly what your dealer license will require and what it costs — no obligation.
