DCG Closes Murray’s Ford Lincoln, Murray’s Honda, Now Part of Spitzer Autoworld in Pennsylvania

Automotive Industry Leader Continues to Set the Pace in Securing Legacies

DCG has closed on the acquisition Murray’s Ford Lincoln and Murray’s Honda, purchased by Spitzer Autoworld in Pennsylvania. The closing is DCG’s latest this year, continuing the company’s 2021 record-setting pace of fostering automotive acquisitions.

George G. Spitzer founded Spitzer Auto in 1904 in Grafton, Ohio. Legendary automaker Henry Ford was so impressed by Spitzer’s reputation for reliability that he chose the company to sell his new Model T. Ford. Today, Alison and Andrew Spitzer are the fourth generation to lead the auto group.

Founder Harv Murray of the Murray’s Family of Dealerships established his company in 1968 in the Rockton, Ohio area when he purchased the Ford store, then McAninch Motors, with an investment of just $1,500. In 1981, the Honda store was added to the family business and in 1995, Freightliner/Western Star were acquired.

“DCG is pleased to have worked with two renowned automotive companies to facilitate a smooth closing that benefits everyone,” said Dave Cantin, founder and CEO. “I commend the knowledge and sophistication of our team of professionals. They are tireless workers with a wide range of skillsets that employ ingenuity and a dedication to both buyer and seller, making for seamless transactions that leave all parties happy.”

Recent DCG transactions include the acquisition by Tarbox Toyota Hyundai, now Nucar Toyota and Nucar Hyundai, representing DCD Automotive’s first acquisition in Rhode Island; Ron Carter Cadillac and Ron Carter Hyundai, now Big Star Cadillac and Big Star Hyundai purchased by Ken Garff Automotive Group, located in Texas; the sale of Lithia Motors’ Carbone Nissan to the Steet Ponte Auto Group, now Steet Ponte Nissan operating in Central New York. DCG also represented the sale of two Lexus dealerships in California; Lexus of Oxnard and Lexus of Santa Barbara, purchased by Ken Garff Automotive Group from Lithia Motors. In addition, DCG is represented four exemplary Las Vegas dealerships acquired by Lithia Motors, one of the most sought-after automotive markets in the industry. DCG is the authority in analyzing valuations of a dealership’s worth and specializes in representing platform acquisitions, overseeing multiple dealerships within an individual acquisition.
