Who This Is For
GT Consulting is for dealers who are tired of guessing. If the store looks busy but the bank account keeps shrinking, something is broken.
Independent dealers opening their first lot
Dealers fighting cash flow problems
BHPH and LHPH operators
Stores using floor plans
Dealers with aging inventory
Owners who are selling cars but still feel broke
Operators who need a second set of eyes before making a costly move
Practical Credibility
Eric Gibby built Gibby's Auto Pros in Sevierville, Tennessee as a family business. That dealership chapter is now closed, and GT Consulting is the current business. The consulting work is built from the same independent dealer lessons: buying cars, protecting cash, handling floor plan pressure, keeping deal files cleaner and making the next move when the store is tight.
In 2023, the Tennessee Independent Automobile Dealers Association named Eric Tennessee Quality Dealer of the Year. The award matters, but the point of GT Consulting is practical: help dealers see the numbers, fix the leak and do the boring work before the bill shows up.
The Auto Dealer's Playbook grew out of that same plain dealer language.
What GT Consulting Helps With
