Autodeal
The Auto-Deal chain, the largest trade-in
company in Israel for the sale of first-
hand and privately owned cars, was es-
tablished in 1997, and is one of the largest and
most dependable previously-owned car sales
companies in Israel.
The chain has the exclusive rights to perform
trade-in transactions for the Champion Motors
group and its brands Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda
and Seat, for the MCA Group and its brands Fiat,
Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Abarth. In 2014 the com-
pany obtained exclusive franchise for trade-in
deals in Israel of the super premium British car
brand Aston Martin. The Auto-Deal chain, which
ended 2015 with sales of over 8,500 cars, has
about 70 employees in four main branches: Bnei
Brak, Jerusalem, Haifa and a new branch estab-
lished in Maayan Sorek compound in Rishon
Lezion. The Auto-Deal chain has the largest inven-
tory in Israel of private-owner used cars, totaling
more than 1,000 cars, at any given time. Since
its establishment, Auto-Deal has sold more than
100,000 cars. In 2015 the chain had a turnover of
approx. NIS 680million, being an evidence to the
sweeping confidence of the public in the sales
and working methods of Auto-Deal.
The company management includes Joint CEO’s,
Tomer Dotan and Meir Ohayon, and CFO, Dror
Polus. In June 2005 the Allied Group, Champion
Motors’ parent company, acquired 49% of Auto-
Deal, leaving Dotan and Ohayon with 51% in the
company. The company was founded by Dotan
and Ohayon, who have over 20 years of experi-
ence in the auto sales field, and starting 2015
own the franchise to import the super premium
British car brand Aston Martin. Auto-Deal was
initially located in Talpiot, Jerusalem, before mov-
ing to Bnei Brak. The new HQ of the company,
since 2010 is the Silo Compound in Bnei Brak.
which was acquired by the real estate branch
of the company. Over NIS 50 m. were invested
in the process of building and converting the
premises into the company’s main sales cen-
ter. The compound, extending over 4.5 acres,
includes a showroom, sales offices, purchasing
departments, a state-of-the-art delivery center,
management offices and back office.
In December 2014 the company inaugurated its
new sales and service center in Rishon Lezion,
on a compound extending over 4.5 acres in Pal-
mahim area, at an investment of NIS 35 million.
The compound, which is considered cutting edge
in its field, meets the needs of the customers in
the Southern area and is characterized by the
company’s CI and One Stop Shop attitude, ap-
plied in all the company’s premises.
One Stop Shop
Auto-Deal’s uniqueness lies first and foremost
in the fact that it provides a single large center
that answers all of the customer’s needs, reduc-
ing the time required to replace an old car with
a new one. The company was the first in Israel
to offer the first-hand car sales according to the
American method and introducing the trade-in
culture into Israel.
Like in the US, the Auto-Deal chain has a used car
sales center with regular contact with the manu-
facturer/importer. Thus the available inventory is
constantly renewed, and includes an extensive
range of cars from private owners.
Auto-Deal offers this wide range of cars since
it is the official representative of a long list of
brands. The huge range is further enhanced by
the numerous private customers who make use
of the company’s services, trading in their own
cars which often belong to other brands.
Moreover, purchasing through Auto-Deal pro-
vides the customer many other advantages. The
chain maintains a policy of dependability and
responsibility towards its customers, and accord-
ingly all of its cars undergo comprehensive tests
at an authorized workshop, thorough servicing,
cleaning and preparation, and are delivered to
the customer in an excellent mechanical condi-
tion. In addition, the customer receives the Auto-
Deal warranty, covering a period of up to one year
from the date of purchase.
Auto-Deal also enables the customer to buy back
the car after a year and provides unique solutions
for financing and assistance to the private cus-
tomer. The chain was the first and only company
in Israel’s used-car field to works with the leading
banks on a regular basis, offering its customers a
variety of unique loan arrangements and prices.
Auto-Deal provides its customers the possibility
to purchase a car and receive up to 100% of its
value in credit. Customers can avail themselves
of several customized financing options, con-
ducted by a finance company and via the largest
banks in Israel, among themBankHapoalim and
Bank Leumi. These advantages make it easy for
the customer to deal with the whole process of
selling his car, and allow him to purchase a car
reliably and quickly, in effect simply by exchang-
ing keys.
A Huge Range of Cars
The Auto-Deal chain has the largest andmost var-
ied prestige car department in Israel, with top-tier
prestige and luxury cars from the world’s leading
brands, as well as exotic and unique sports cars,
executive cars, exclusive jeeps and others.
Auto-Deal has a dedicated department deal-
ing with commercial vehicles, mini-buses and
vans.
Future Activities
In the coming years the Auto-Deal chain intends
to expand its activities to other areas in Israel
and open additional branches.
The company is currently building a Power Center,
which will eventually replace the Haifa branch.
This new branch will serve the entire northern re-
gion and will supply the company’s uniqueness,
innovation and standards to all the residents of
the north.
In the future the company plans to build an addi-
tional power center in Beer Sheva and to upgrade
the existing branch in Jerusalem. The goal of the
Auto-Deal chain is to provide customers with the
confidence to purchase cars from regulated car
centers. The chain aims to turn the market into
a varied and regulated market, and to change
the buying habits of the Israeli consumer in all
matters related to used cars.
