LeadCar Chevrolet Yorkville Divests to Mastrovito Auto Group
Yorkville, NY – February 23, 2026 – Dave Cantin Group (DCG) is proud to announce the successful strategic divestiture of LeadCar Chevrolet Yorkville to Mastrovito Auto Group, led by Frank Mastrovito, owner of Mastrovito Hyundai in Yorkville, New York. This marks Mastrovito’s second dealership acquisition in the Yorkville market.
DCG represented LeadCar in the transaction. Tony Karabon, EVP & Head of Acquisition Management at Dave Cantin Group, led the engagement on behalf of the seller. With deep experience advising dealers across New York and a strong understanding of the Yorkville market, DCG was honored to guide this significant transition.
This transaction serves as a reminder of the importance of long-term planning and trusted advisory support. Nearly 50% of dealers still do not have a formal succession plan in place. Strategic transitions like this highlight the value of engaging an advisor early to ensure long-term continuity, value preservation, and optionality for what comes next.
The sale of LeadCar Chevrolet Yorkville reflects a strategic refinement of our regional footprint in central New York, allowing us to focus our time, energy, and capital on the long-term growth of our remaining LeadCar Honda Yorkville and LeadCar GMC Utica locations in that market area. LeadCar Chevrolet Yorkville has been an important part of our dealership family, and we are grateful for the customers and team members who have been part of its story. We remain deeply committed to the greater Utica area and look forward to enhancing our service offerings while continuing our legacy of excellence for years to come.
The LeadCar team extends its appreciation to Tony Karabon, EVP & Head of Acquisition Management at Dave Cantin Group, for his role in achieving a successful outcome.
