Eloquent's push() saves the model and its relationships, but first you have to tell what you want to be involved in the relationsship.

Since your user-model/table holds the id of the dealership, I assume that a user can belong to only one dealership, so the relationship should look like this:

User Model:

public function dealership()
{
  return $this->belongsTo('Dealership');
}

Dealership Model:

public function users()
{
  return $this->hasMany('User');
}

To save a User from the Dealership perspective, you do this:

$dealership->users()->save($user);

To associate a dealership with a user, you do this:

$user->dealership()->associate($dealership);
$user->save();
