AutoNation, Inc. operates through four primary business segments: Domestic, Import, Premium Luxury, and AutoNation Finance. The company's dealership network spans major metropolitan markets, particularly in the Sunbelt region, representing brands such as Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW. In addition to vehicle sales, AutoNation generates significant, higher-margin revenue from after-sales services, including parts distribution, collision repair, and routine maintenance. The company also operates AutoNation USA used vehicle stores and AutoNation-branded automotive auction operations. Originally incorporated in 1980 and later rebranded from Republic Industries, it has grown through strategic acquisitions to become one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States.
