ANCOVE vs AECOVI: two proposals for the vehicle dealership professional

ANCOVE and AECOVI share a basic idea: the vehicle buying and selling professional needs specific support. The way they offer it, however, is different.

ANCOVE is a national association with a track record since 1989 and a consolidated service portfolio. AECOVI was born as a private and free community, powered by Dealcar, with a very specific focus on the independent dealer.

What is ANCOVE

ANCOVE is defined as the National Association of Vehicle Dealers and represents professionals who sell cars, motorbikes, trucks, tractors and other vehicles, both new and used.

Its website publishes a fee of 34.86 euros per month. Benefits include legal advice, regulatory information, statistics, agreements with suppliers and business cooperation.

It also offers tools such as contracts, new and used vehicle statistics, multi-publishing, insurance, spare parts and credit simulation.

What is AECOVI

AECOVI is planned as the Spanish Association of Independent Vehicle Dealers. Its starting point is a free and verified professional community.

It does not seek to compete service-by-service from day one. Its priority is to create an active network where dealers can exchange experiences and where the content answers real business questions.

ANCOVE has more services; AECOVI reduces friction

ANCOVE has an obvious advantage: existing infrastructure and a professional catalogue developed over years.

AECOVI tries to solve another problem: many small and medium-sized dealers do not want to start by paying a fee or joining a complex platform. They want practical information, to talk to colleagues and to resolve specific queries.

That is why entry to AECOVI is free and the main channel is WhatsApp.

A meeting point can also generate tools

The community allows pattern detection. If dozens of professionals ask about the same change in warranties, REBU (special scheme for second-hand goods) or portals, AECOVI can turn those questions into a guide, webinar or comparison.

For multi-publishing issues, for example, Dealcar already has a stock management and portal publishing solution and practical guides on its blog. AECOVI can act as a community and discovery layer, while Dealcar delves into operational execution.

Which one makes more sense for you?

ANCOVE may fit if you are looking for specific services, advice and consolidated associative tools and you are willing to pay a fee.

AECOVI fits if you want to start with a free community of independent dealers, access content and participate with no financial commitment.

Both proposals can coexist. The important thing is for the professional to understand what they get from each and not to confuse community with legal or institutional services that require specific structures.
