Bill Dodge Auto Group

What Bill Dodge Auto Group does

Bill Dodge Auto Group, Inc. is a family-owned, multi-brand automotive dealership group founded in 1970 and headquartered at 2 Saunders Way, Westbrook, Maine. The group operates authorized franchises for eight OEMs — BMW, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Hyundai, INFINITI, Kia, and Nissan — across showrooms in Westbrook, Saco, and Brunswick, serving individual retail consumers in Southern Maine, with a smaller fleet and commercial sales channel. Headcount is reported in the 251–500 range, and the group markets itself as a one-stop multi-brand retailer serving Westbrook, Portland, Scarborough, Saco, and Windham.

The business generates revenue across six streams: new vehicle sales, pre-owned and wholesale vehicle sales, automotive financing (including subprime/special financing), service and parts, a dedicated collision center, and ancillary F&I income. Unit pricing on vehicles is supplemented by financing interest and dealer kickbacks, labor and parts margin in the service department, and a wholesale direct channel. The group has deployed a Bill Dodge Digital Retailing platform that supports online vehicle search, KBB Instant Cash Offer trade-in valuation, financing applications, and remote purchase, alongside physical showrooms, a Carfax 2025 Top-Rated LIFETIME Dealer designation, an exclusive Maine Celtics partnership, a Bill Dodge Rewards loyalty program on the YourAutoAwards platform, a growing EV/hybrid inventory (Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia EV6/EV9), and specialty sub-brands (Wholesale Direct, Sticker Select, lifted GMC trucks, budget sub-$20K/$25K filters). The annual Hot Rods & Heroes Car Show, co-organized with Portland Media Group, 101.9 POR, and NewsRadio WGAN and benefiting Veterans Forward Maine, functions as a flagship community engagement event.

Broad incumbents

• Penske Automotive Group: Internationally diversified franchised dealer group with premium/luxury concentration (BMW, Cadillac). Comparable franchised retail model, including service and F&I operations.
• CarMax: Largest U.S. used-vehicle retailer with a national footprint, integrated financing, and a strong digital buying experience. Direct competitor in Bill Dodge's used-vehicle, F&I, and trade-in lanes.

• AutoNation: Largest U.S. auto retailer with hundreds of franchised stores and multi-brand exposure across most major OEMs. Directly comparable business model (franchised new, used, F&I, service/parts) but operating at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Asbury Automotive Group: Large U.S. franchised dealer group with broad OEM mix including luxury and mass-market. Closely comparable in business model and revenue diversification across new, used, F&I, parts/service, and collision.
