We take it personally
Our clients choose us because we offer a more intimate advisory service than mainstream accounting-based automotive consultants. Our clients remain with us because we cultivate personal friendships that transcend business.
Many have been with us since the beginning, and know they can pick up the phone and chat to us at any time. Whether the topic is a business performance issue, a sale or acquisition, or their 10-year-old’s triumph in the school play, we’re up for it.

Decades of experience
We’ve worked in and with automotive dealerships for more than 20 years, and we’re on the ground almost every day. That affords us a unique perspective, and gives our clients a powerful ally.
We identify opportunities to drive efficiencies, enhance performance and grow profits – and then craft strategic and tactical plans to help DP’s, FC’s, owners and investors bring them to fruition.

“John’s investment of time and dedication to our business success has been second to none.
Since engaging Citywide, we have not only seen our business grow but John has added an element of trust amongst my management team who now work with him on a one-on-one basis to strategise and improve their departments’ results.
John and his team has developed a great partnership with Kempsey Toyota and its management team. We appreciate his attention to detail and collaborative approach to bringing a new dynamic to our business.”
Michael Briscoe – DP, Kempsey Toyota
“Northstar Automotive Group has worked closely with Citywide consulting for a number of years, now.
I was introduced to John Mihelakis while going through a complex settlement. Very quickly, it was evident that John is industry-leading in not just buy/sell transactions, but dealership advisory.
Citywide has been a fundamental part of our success through benchmarked KPI’s, clear reporting/financial processes, strict risk management and franchise and company growth, and they’ve continued to deliver results.”
Blake Schloithe – MD/DP, Northstar Automotive Group
“It was tough going in those first few years. But I expanded into emerging markets and the dealership experienced significant growth as a result – to the point where we outgrew our accountant. I had known of Citywide’s expertise in the motor dealer industry and as soon as we met, I knew they were the right fit. They were young, energetic, and switched on… just like us!”
David – Dealer Principal, Hobart
“It has been a long relationship, and there’s loyalty on both sides. To have the varying degree of business skillset in the same place, well, it has been invaluable.”
Peter – Dealer Principal, Bairnsdale
“We know that we can contact Citywide Dealership Consultants with a problem or idea, or anything that might be on our minds, trusting completely that their intimate knowledge of our circumstances enables them to provide reliable advice and strategic solutions. The key for us is we have advisors we trust so we can focus on the business.”
