Learn What it Takes to Become an AMSOIL Dealer:

The automotive aftermarket is full of good products.  SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) has an annual event to showcase the new products coming out from many manufacturers. If you’ve ever attended the show, you know it’s a dizzying event with more than you can probably see in three days.

Inside the show, you’ll find many lubricant companies showcasing their best synthetic oils and products, including AMSOIL.  After stopping at the booth, you might grab a flyer or some information on becoming an AMSOIL dealer.  Or, perhaps you’ve seen an AMSOIL sticker on race team apparel, on TV or the internet.  You may have just seen an ad in a magazine.

Have you ever thought about becoming an AMSOIL dealer?  Or, have you wondered if becoming a dealer is really worth it?  The simple answer is ‘yes’.  Here’s why you should take the next step to become a dealer:

AMSOIL is constantly driving the lubrication market forward with their unique products and award-winning packaging.  Their goal is to make your vehicle run smoother, run longer, and be easier to maintain.  That also goes for your potential customers that you’ll have when you become a dealer.  Are you tired of being “just another customer” at a local store?  Do you want to take your experience with AMSOIL products to the next level?  Becoming a dealer is a perfect opportunity for that.

Should You Become a Dealer or a Retailer?

If you’re a fan of AMSOIL and want to offer products as a business, you’ll be either a retailer or a dealer.   The first question is whether you have a current retail location to sell them through.  If you don’t have a retail location, becoming a standard dealer is your best option.

AMSOIL began the dealership program in 1973. Many current dealers use their dealership as an opportunity to fund their passions through part-time work.  Some enjoy racing. Some are passionate about restoration.  Others just enjoy driving and riding while traveling to faraway places.

For them an AMSOIL dealership is just something extra, but for others it’s become a full-time business and a lifestyle.  The best part of becoming an AMSOIL dealer is that YOU get to choose what your dealership is.  You can decide if it will be something for yourself, a part-time passion, or your new lifestyle choice.
