HORNE FORD OF NOGALES, LLC

What HORNE FORD OF NOGALES, LLC does

HORNE FORD OF NOGALES, LLC is a single-location, family-owned Ford franchise dealership operating in Nogales, Arizona, continuously under the same ownership since 1991. The dealership retails new Ford vehicles, pre-owned inventory, parts, and accessories, and operates a service and repair department including EV-certified maintenance. It also generates revenue through Ford Motor Company's finance and insurance (F&I) products on retail deliveries. Its operating footprint explicitly covers Nogales, Rio Rico, Sierra Vista, Green Valley, Sahuarita, Tucson, Sonoita, and Elgin in Southern Arizona, positioning it as the Ford retail and service point for the Santa Cruz County corridor and adjacent markets.

The business model is the standard franchise dealer model: gross profit on new and used vehicle unit sales, F&I income per unit retailed, and recurring service-and-parts revenue from warranty work and post-warranty maintenance. Recent commercial extensions include a Price Match Guarantee on new vehicles, custom factory orders configured directly with Ford, and offsite delivery to extend the effective service area beyond the physical dealership. EV-certified service is offered to capture maintenance revenue on Ford's electrified vehicle lineup.

The dealership is structured as a limited liability company and remains privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no second rooftop, and no documented M&A activity. Operational scale is small relative to metro-market Ford dealers, with limited disclosed headcount and no publicly reported financials. The customer base is retail-skewed, geographically distributed across Southern Arizona, and includes border-region buyers sensitive to U.S.-Mexico peso dynamics.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Group 1 Automotive: Major publicly-traded automotive retailer with 200+ dealerships including Ford franchises across the US and UK. Comparable franchise-dealer economics, F&I structure, and manufacturer relationships; relevant as potential strategic acquirer of independent Ford stores.
• AutoNation: Largest publicly-traded automotive retailer in the US, operating hundreds of franchised dealerships across multiple brands including Ford. Highly relevant as a benchmark for franchise-dealer economics, scale advantages, and Ford franchise operations, though vastly larger than Horne Ford.
• Holman Automotive: Large privately-held automotive group with franchised dealerships, fleet services, and parts distribution. Comparable as a multi-generational family-owned dealer group, making it a relevant benchmark for long-horizon franchise value creation.
• Penske Automotive Group: Diversified automotive and commercial truck retailer with global Ford and other franchise operations. Comparable franchise economics and service-department model, though focused more on premium and commercial segments.
• Asbury Automotive Group: Large US automotive retailer with extensive Ford franchise representation after acquiring Larry H. Miller Dealerships. Highly comparable as a Ford franchise consolidator and operator of single-brand stores in regional markets.
• Sonic Automotive: Publicly-traded automotive retailer with significant Ford franchise exposure alongside luxury import brands. Comparable as a multi-brand franchise operator with similar revenue mix of new, used, F&I, and service; meaningful acquirer of independent Ford dealerships.
• Lithia Motors: One of the largest US auto dealer groups with extensive Ford franchise representation and aggressive acquisition strategy. Comparable as a Ford franchise operator and acquirer of independent dealerships like Horne Ford, though operating at dramatically greater scale.

Emerging players

• CarMax: Largest US used-vehicle retailer with national footprint, no-haggle pricing model, and certified inventory. Competes directly for the dealership's pre-owned vehicle demand and offers an alternative purchase experience to consumers in Southern Arizona.
• Driveway: Online car-shopping platform affiliated with dealer inventory that facilitates online purchase and home delivery of new and used vehicles. Adjacent competitor targeting the same convenience-oriented customer segment that Horne Ford's offsite delivery service addresses.
• Carvana: Online used-vehicle retailer with home delivery model and vending-machine purchasing experience. Represents a structural competitive threat to traditional dealers' used-car business, particularly relevant given Horne Ford's investment in offsite delivery.
