How to Say “Dealership” in Spanish

concesionario
/konθesjoˈnaɾjo/masculine
The English word 'dealership' is translated into Spanish as concesionario.
A concesionario is a place that sells items, most frequently referring specifically to an automobile dealership. You can specify the type of vehicle by adding the item after the preposition 'de', such as concesionario de autos (car dealership) or concesionario de motocicletas (motorcycle dealership).
Meaning: a place that sells items, especially cars (noun)

Which one should you use?

While concesionario is a standard term, you may also see distribuidor used to mean dealership, such as in distribuidor de camiones (truck dealership) or distribuidor de vehículos eléctricos (electric vehicle dealership).

Is it said differently in some regions?

In some Spanish-speaking countries, the word agencia is used to denote a dealership, such as agencia de automóviles (car dealership) or agencia de motos (motorcycle dealership). In Mexico, specifically, you can use agencia de carros or agencia de autos to mean car dealership.

How does it change in a sentence?

The standard masculine noun for the establishment itself is concesionario, and its plural form is concesionarios. Although the noun is masculine, you may encounter the feminine form concesionaria if it is being used as an adjective to describe a feminine noun.

How do you pronounce it?
