A Vision of Legacy Creation
The Dave Cantin Group is a holding company whose subsidiaries form a holistic resource for acquisitions, growth, and insight in the automotive industry. Our value begins with founder Dave Cantin and his 20+ years of auto industry experience. It extends across the experience of every team member—in DCG Acquisitions, DCG Capital, and DCG Media—with backgrounds in all aspects of the automotive industry, as well as financial and professional fields. All three companies within the Dave Cantin Group maintain an impeccable reputation and a long track record of successful outcomes.
We are more than just an automotive mergers & acquisitions firm. We leverage deep expertise, industry-wide relationships, and extensive resources to facilitate efficient and profitable sales. Being full-service means going beyond the sale, beyond the financing, and deeper in our insights. It means the team at any Dave Cantin Group company will walk with you each step of the way in facilitating the sale or purchase of your dealership or group, attaining capital, building succession plans, and propelling you toward a secure, lasting legacy.
Our Founder
Dave Cantin used his two plus decades of industry experience to negotiate the sale of the second-largest automotive buy/sell acquisition in U.S. history. By maximizing Dave’s extensive and deep industry relationships, this transaction received 100% manufacturer approval within six months. Since the closing of this historic transaction, Dave formally established his team of acquisition and growth specialists that continue to follow Dave’s outcome-focused processes and procedures to this day.
