Hoover's coverage by Alexandra Biesada

Overview

AutoNation wants to instill patriotic fervor in the fickle car-buying public. The brainchild of entrepreneur and ex-chairman Wayne Huizenga (Waste Management, Blockbuster), AutoNation is the #1 car dealer in the US (ahead of Penske Automotive Group and Group 1 Automotive). The firm owns more than 240 new-vehicle franchises (down from 300 in 2008) in 15 states, and it conducts online sales through AutoNation.com and individual dealer websites. AutoNation operates under about 15 different brands in local markets (including Mike Shad in Jacksonville, Florida, and Go in Colorado). In addition to auto sales, AutoNation provides maintenance and repair services, sells auto parts, and finances and insures vehicles.
