Green Dealer Support was formed with the idea that we could provide help to dealers in their efforts to incorporate environmental friendly practices into their business model. The company was founded by a group of people passionate about auto retail and the environment. Green Dealer Support was built on the premise that the green/sustainability movement is complex and will continuously evolve. Therefore dealers will need help designing and implementing programs that add efficiency, customer satisfaction and customer retention along with a commitment to green initiative and environmental stewardship to their business model.
Many dealers have already taken a proactive approach to becoming a "Green Dealer". They have made it part of their operational approach to business and as part of their support for a sound stewardship program in their community.
You will find that our team is comprised of veteran industry experts from a number of different automotive backgrounds enabling us to provide you with both practical and marketable strategies as a Green Dealer. Please click to go to About Us.

Return on Investment (ROI)is always is a sound reason to consider becoming "greener". Many green actions have a very good ROI. The great thing about taking green actions with a reasonable ROI is that once the investment is paid for the results all go directly to the bottom line.

Assessment/Evaluations are conducted to determine where the dealership stands on a number of green or environmental issues. The assessors identify opportunities that exist as well as documenting green activities that are already in place.
At the conclusion of the Assessment/Evaluation a detailed report is presented that provides a road map of things to do to become greener.
With a road map of green opportunities the dealership is ready to proceed with working through a process to becoming greener.
A Green Dealer Support person becomes a part of the dealership team with the goal of guiding the dealership team and assisting with the research needed to implement identified opportunities.
Communicating your support for green, energy-saving initiatives to your employees, customers and your community is your first goal. Your Green program is an ongoing effort that requires training and marketing.
