Regency Auto

What Regency Auto does

Regency Auto is a family-owned automotive dealership group headquartered at 401 Kingsway in Vancouver, British Columbia, operating four retail locations across Metro Vancouver under two flagship franchises — Regency Toyota and Regency Lexus (including the Burnaby Lexus Studio) — alongside an authorized FCA Canada (Stellantis) franchise for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, and Ram vehicles. The company sells new, certified pre-owned, and multi-brand used vehicles, with current pre-owned inventory of approximately 106 vehicles (51 certified pre-owned), and supports sales with a full aftersales platform: factory-trained service technicians, OEM parts, a body shop, a tire centre, detailing services, and vehicle financing including second-chance financing for credit-challenged buyers. The business model combines transactional vehicle sales with recurring service and parts revenue across two OEM franchise systems and a diversified used-vehicle inventory spanning brands such as Porsche, BMW, Volvo, Honda, Hyundai, and Subaru.

The group is privately held by the Ahamed family and led by Founder Amir Ahamed, Managing Director Izzam Ahamed, Director of Operations Frank Stokovac, General Manager of Regency Toyota Susan Sydor, and Head of Marketing Evan Chang. Since 2021 the company has operated the #ReggieFromRegency philanthropy campaign, donating per vehicle sale to local BC charities and having raised over $300,000 toward a $1,000,000 goal. Customers are individual consumers and families in Metro Vancouver and surrounding regions, with thousands of buyers served historically. Marketing runs through regencyauto.com (built by 360.Agency / Solutions Medias 360) and organic social channels on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. There are no disclosed funding rounds, external investors, AI/ML capabilities, or proprietary technology products; the technology footprint consists of standard dealership website functionality with Carfax vehicle history integration.
