Our Story
Founded by those who have lived every side of the automotive business.
Who We Are
Upshift Dealer Solutions was founded by automotive veterans who have decades of industry experience on all sides of the business. From the showroom floor and the F&I office to the agent and administrator world — we’ve seen it all, sold it all, and supported it all.
We know what it feels like to sit across from a customer and the importance of presenting products you believe in. We know what it means to a dealers bottom line when F&I is performing. And we know what dealers need from an agency partner, because we’ve been in that seat too.
That experience is the foundation of everything we do. We’re not a financial services company that wandered into the auto industry. We are car people — and we built Upshift for car people.
“For Car People. By Car People.”
Our team has worked the finance desk, managed F&I departments, and trained finance managers. We understand the retail environment because we came from it.
We’ve operated on the agent and administrator side of the business, giving us a complete understanding of the entire F&I ecosystem.
We’re never limited to one solution. Our multi-provider portfolio means we can tailor the right product mix for any dealer, any market, any situation.
We don’t sign dealers and disappear. We train, we support, and we stay engaged — because your F&I performance is our performance.
From coast to coast, Upshift Dealer Solutions supports dealer partners across the country with the same Motor City work ethic wherever you are.
Founded and headquartered in the Motor City — the birthplace of the American automobile. Detroit didn’t just build cars, it built an industry. That same grit, pride, and relentless work ethic is in our DNA and drives everything we do at Upshift Dealer Solutions.
