Approach

Operators, not consultants.

State Line Solutions was founded on the principle that the best guidance comes from those who have built and led. We embed with partners to provide hands-on advisement that connects foundational auto principles with cutting-edge digital strategy.

We skip the abstract theory and deliver executable playbooks — drawn from managing multi-billion-dollar P&Ls and building teams of hundreds from the ground up — that create real-world value, drive revenue, and build market-defining companies.

State Line Solutions pairs Scott Wood with a standing bench of veteran operators who work alongside him as core members of every engagement, bringing deep, hands-on experience across wholesale, remarketing, and digital retailing.

Scott has spent over 30 years in the automotive industry — from owning and operating multi-line franchised dealerships to architecting the technology and operations behind some of the industry's largest digital wholesale platforms.

At Carvana, he built and scaled the wholesale remarketing operation from 2,000 to nearly 200,000 units annually, generating $5.14B in gross sales. Earlier roles at TRUECar, KAR Auction Services (OPENLANE, CarBuyCo), and as a franchised dealer owner give him a rare, full-lifecycle view — from the showroom floor to the digital auction block.
