Working with Dave Cantin and the Dave Cantin Group was an incredible experience. Their team handled every detail with professionalism and made the entire process seamless. This acquisition is a huge step for Crabtree Motors, letting us diversify with our first Chevrolet/domestic franchise and adding the highly coveted Lexus brand to our Toyota holdings. What really stood out was how well they KNOW this market—better than anyone else. Their relationships across the industry, including with OEMs, were hugely valuable in making this deal happen. Their strategic insight and market intelligence were unmatched, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support in making this vision a reality.

Having worked with the Dave Cantin Group before, I knew I could count on them again for this strategic divestiture. Their team provided incredible guidance in selling my New Haven Lexus and Chevrolet stores. What sets them apart is how well they know the market and the true value of a dealership—better than anyone in the business. They also knew exactly the right buyer who would be a great fit for the community and the brands. Selling a dealership is never an easy decision, but Dave Cantin and his team made the process smooth and straightforward with their insight, professionalism, and commitment. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
