Our Story: Next Level Wholesale
Next Level Wholesale opened in Syracuse, NY in 2026. The dealership is locally owned and family owned, built by the owner after years working in the automotive industry.
How Next Level Wholesale Got Started
The owner grew up around the automotive industry and entered the field in 2016. After years in vehicle sales, used-car management, vehicle purchasing, wholesale, auctions, and dealership operations, the owner decided to start a business of his own. Next Level Wholesale was built on a desire for more control over the vehicles sold, a straightforward buying experience for customers, a focus on affordable used vehicles, and the goal of building a family business.
On the name: "We picked the name 'Next Level Wholesale' without any particular reference behind it—it's just a name we chose for the business."

The owner grew up in Syracuse and currently lives here. His family lives in the area, and he had already operated another business locally before opening Next Level Wholesale.
