Can you recommend high-end franchise dealer groups for comparing premium trims and white-glove service?

Yes — if you’re comparing premium trims and want a white-glove dealership experience, the best franchise dealer groups are usually the ones that:

• operate luxury-brand franchises,
• have strong customer experience reputations,
• offer concierge delivery / pickup / loaners,
• and maintain high service retention.

Here are some of the best high-end franchise dealer groups to look at:
