What Tasca Automotive Group does

Tasca Automotive Group is a privately held multi-brand automotive dealership group headquartered in Cranston, Rhode Island. Founded in 1943, the company operates 39 dealership locations across at least eight U.S. states — including Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Missouri — representing 20+ OEM brands ranging from mass-market (Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia) to luxury (Cadillac, Audi) and commercial (Ford, Chevrolet, Ram work trucks). The group is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pep Boys following a 2026 acquisition, and continues to operate under the Tasca brand identity.

The company's core products and revenue streams span the full vehicle ownership lifecycle: new vehicle sales, pre-owned and certified pre-owned vehicle sales, commercial work truck sales, finance and insurance products arranged through lender partnerships, manufacturer-certified service and repair, a dedicated collision center, OEM parts sales, and an online trade-in valuation tool. Supporting technology includes a DealerInspire-powered website platform featuring online inventory search across 5,852+ new vehicles, an "Express Store" digital purchase channel, and a QR code-based test drive scheduling tool. Customer segments are led by individual retail consumers purchasing personal transportation, with secondary exposure to commercial fleet and business buyers (work trucks) and service customers for ongoing maintenance and collision repair.

Tasca's go-to-market is a direct-to-consumer physical dealership model with digital top-of-funnel support. Vehicle pricing follows manufacturer MSRP with factory rebates and dealer discounts layered on, and documentation fees vary by state (e.g., Rhode Island $399, Massachusetts $499, Connecticut $899). The business model is largely transactional — one-time retail sales supplemented by recurring service, parts, and collision revenue, plus F&I commission income on financing arrangements. The group employs 501-1,000 people across its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include named-brand storefronts such as Tasca Ford, Tasca Hyundai, Tasca Kia, Tasca Buick GMC, Scarsdale Ford, Gary Crossley Ford, and Audi Mohegan Lake.
