Before OnSite Dealer Solutions became a multi-state automotive operations partner, the foundation for the company was already being built.
In 2008, ODS founder and CEO Heath Mayor launched two separate business ventures focused on automotive labor, marketing, and commercial real estate. Those early businesses gave Heath firsthand experience inside the automotive industry and helped shape his understanding of the operational challenges dealerships face every day.
One relationship proved especially important. While running those businesses, Heath began working with a family-owned automotive group in Peoria, Illinois. That partnership helped establish many of the ideas that would later become the foundation of the OnSite Dealer Solutions business model.
By 2011, OnSite Dealer Solutions was officially formed with a clear purpose: help dealerships improve make-ready operations through dependable people, better processes, and greater operational accountability.
ODS initially focused on dealerships and dealer groups throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. Those early Midwest markets became the proving ground for the company, allowing ODS to refine its processes, improve its services, and better understand what dealerships needed from a long-term operational partner.
