DCG ACQUISITIONS, A DAVE CANTIN GROUP (DCG) COMPANY, COMPLETES MAJOR ACQUISITION, UNITING TWO AUTOMOTIVE GROUP DYNASTIES

New York, New York – January 20, 2022 – DCG Acquisitions, a Dave Cantin Group (DCG) company, today announced the successful completion of an acquisition uniting two automotive group juggernauts.

DCG represented both parties, whereby the Gee Automotive Companies—among the top three largest family-owned and operated automotive groups in the Pacific Northwest, acquired Dick’s Auto Group—one of the oldest family-owned and operated automotive groups in western Portland.

“Our relationship with DCG Acquisitions has truly exceeded our expectations for a Mergers & Acquisitions firm,” said Ryan Gee CEO Gee Automotive Companies. “This is our first closed deal with DCG Acquisitions but I am confident that there will be many more over years to come. We look forward to working with George Pero and his team at DCG on future deals as we continue to grow and expand.”

Our relationship with DCG Acquisitions has truly exceeded our expectations for a Mergers & Acquisitions firm. George Pero was instrumental in every aspect of the transaction to get this deal across the finish line. We always felt George was in our corner accurately communicating our deal points with the highest level of integrity and tenacity that was necessary to make a deal this of this nature happen. In addition, Joe Beaver never let up with his tireless efforts to maintain consistent communications with all parties that also contributed to a successful transaction.

This is our first closed deal with DCG Acquisitions but I am confident that there will be many more over years to come. They worked closely with several members of our executive team on every step of the process from beginning to middle to end, everything! We look forward to working with George Pero and his team at DCG on future deals as we continue to grow and expand our brand in additional markets consistent with our investment strategy!

This is our second closed deal with DCG Acquisitions in less than 12 months. Our first deal was the purchase of a Chevrolet store in our local community. We tried to buy this store several times for almost 15 years with no success. We engaged Joe Beaver of DCG to represent us and things started to happen. Just a few short months later, we were at the closing table and our dream of adding this store to our family became a reality because of DCG.

Fast forward to today and here we are again with yet another successful transaction because of our relationship with DCG. This time, we asked Joe to find us a suitable buyer and that is exactly what he did. In addition, George Pero spent countless hours providing our family guidance and counsel to a level I never dreamed of. His constant reassurance and professionalism instilled a tremendous amount of comfort that not only we were making the right decision, but more importantly this was absolutely the best deal we could have gotten for the business climate as dealerships continue to enjoy extraordinary results. I always felt DCG was with us every step of the way!
