Robert and the team at DCG were once again a vital partner for the Ed Morse Automotive Group as we look to grow our platform. Having worked together on previous transactions, they were able to anticipate our needs, and support us in finding and closing on the first Kia store in our group. We appreciate their best in class process and service, and hands on support throughout the various deal steps and hurdles to create a smooth and timely closing.

I first met Jim when I inquired about the CFO Services offered by the Dave Cantin Group – Capital Division. After spending the time to sit with me and understand my family business, DCG assisted in reconciling my numerous unrelated expenses and addbacks. I have seen firsthand the downside of working with traditional brokers, and knew after the experience of working with DCG through that exercise, that they were the team to help me divest of my store. Without a doubt their process and hands on approach created a smooth transaction, and I could not be happier with my decision to hire them. Jim Duffy, Brian Traugott and the DCG team have been there with me each step of the way, and I highly recommend Dave Cantin Group for all automotive M&A business.
