It was a fairly long process between the initial mandate you were given and the closing of the transaction. Of course, the delays are strictly due to the manufacturer’s acceptance period and the famous Covid-19 pandemic.

We recognize the excellent work done by you and your company, for the preparation of the prospectus, the search for potential buyers and the support throughout the negotiation and transaction.

We will be happy to recommend your services, just as you were recommended to us, to anyone who needs such support.

The relationship between buyer and seller cannot be better than it currently is.

Thank you for your support. ”

L&H Motors Ltd

Our family had had numerous discussions with Lev prior to engaging DSMA to assist in the sale of our dealership. Lev had visited us on a number of occasions, and we grew to trust him and his expertise, his knowledge of Northern Ontario and who the real players where in the market.

At the point when our family decided it was time to sell our dealership, it wasn’t even an option of who we were going to work with. Lev and DSMA provided a clear outline of timelines and valuations as well as set forth a plan of action that made sense. Lev had met with the entire family at our house and really understood what our qualifications for sale were.

Lev not only walked us through the process, but put us in touch with industry professionals who assisted us in our transaction. My family can honestly say that Lev made the process simple, clear and seamless and without him I am not sure we could have done it.  The Langford family is very happy with the decision to work with Lev and DSMA and would recommend them to anyone looking to either buy or sell a dealership.

Lev truly understands the Northern landscape.

Bruce Langford, former owner of L&H Motors Ltd. 

This was my first experience buying a dealership through a brokerage, Lev Kowalsky was ‘the guy’ and did an excellent job aligning the needs of both the buyer and seller at various junctures, stalemates twists and turns in the road that present themselves in the sale of a family business. I enjoyed dealing with Lev and if presented the right opportunity would definitely do it again.

Adam Bourgeois, new owner of L&H Motors

Timmins Hyundai

“I had the pleasure of working with Lev Kowalsky and Dealer Solutions on the sale of Timmins Hyundai in Timmins On. I can honestly say that Lev and the team at Dealer Solutions were instrumental in the successful sale and transition to new ownership. As true industry professionals, their insight into the valuation as well as their guidance throughout the process where pivotal in the ease and transparency of the transaction. One of the more difficult challenges to selling a northern dealership is finding the right people to ensure the future success of the dealership. Lev managed marry both a purchaser as well as an operator leading to a quick and seamless close.

If you are looking to either purchase or sell your dealership, do not hesitate to contact Lev or any of the other associates at DSMA.

I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Dealer Solutions Mergers and Acquisitions.”

The tenacity of Manon was able to rally us to keep the focus on the transaction. The integrity of Manon during the negotiation favored a “win win” transaction. She referred us a lawyer specialized in this field and, last but not least, her almost instantaneous availability to answer my numerous questions and requests for advice.

I encourage dealership owners to hire Manon to sell their dealership. A transaction is complicated and can become complex because of the many steps involved. Manon, along with DSMA, will help make your sale a success. ”

In a world where major auto groups are acquiring stores at a rapid pace, these three were able to find us the right fit, size and price point for our entry into the market. Knowing exactly what we were looking for and what our parameters were, Arthur & Lev were able to find us the perfect fit in two separate locations. I should also mention that they were able to accomplish this in a matter of months, WOW !

The team at Dealer Solutions is extremely transparent with their operation and gave us all required information in an honest manner.

He was instrumental in getting us information we needed for analysis, helping to find common grounds with the seller on some contentious issues and helping to problem solve as roadblocks appeared. This is a welcome change from our experience with a competing service. We fully intend to use Dealer Solutions and Jeff Renaud’s services again – hopefully in the near future”.

After a long reflection and professional follow-up by DSNA (Manon et Maxime), we are very pleased to now be retired and will keep an excellent memory of this beautiful transaction.The evaluation of our company was carried out by DSNA in June 2017. We made the decision to sell our concession at the end of the year 2017. The transaction ended in August 2018.

The sales process (prospectus / potential buyers / intentions) as well as the entire process of the transaction until the final signature was explained in a remarkable way by Manon who followed the sales process with diligence until the end without pressure and with a clear understanding of the transaction. Everything was executed with our prior authorization. The confidentiality and integrity of the DSNA team is flawless. By your sincerity Manon, throughout the process, you have given us confidence until the closing of the transaction. In addition, you knew how to negotiate and discuss with us and the buyer so that everything was transparent and remained satisfactory for both parties.

We sincerely recommend anyone to use the services offered by Manon and the team DSNA / Groupe Conseil AutoCap. It is an excellent choice not to confuse the emotions and the pragmatism of the financial reality of the whole transaction so to ensure a good follow-up to the end.

If in the future we have another sale or purchase process we can assure you that we will go directly to DNSA and Manon.

We would like to thank DNSA for the support you have given us and the wise advice and knowing of this laborious operation.”

If you are thinking of buying or selling, I highly recommend Dealer Solutions North America and their team of professionals there.”

Chris Semple, Past Dealer Principal, Big Rock Dodge

Robert Fraser, Dealer Principal, Fraser Auto Group

A&B Ford

“Arthur and the Dealer Solutions team helped us sell our rural Ford stores. Although we were a smaller market the deal was a complicated one because there were two roof-tops and a body shop. They took the time to not only profile our business’ but to also profile the market and come up with a list of potential buyers. After our first deal did not come together , they were very quick to put a deal back together with a different buyer and in the end they made sure our deal got across the finish line. I would highly recommend Dealer Solutions, they know how to package and sell the hard deals.”

Brad Hasler, Past Dealer Principal, A&B Ford

Guelph Hyundai

“Having been involved with numerous retail dealership buy/sells in the past, both from a corporate and a public perspective, I found Dealer Solutions and Paul Stern particularly to be efficient, effective and a pleasure to do business with. For our Guelph Hyundai acquisition, we were presented a very comprehensive and well-defined prospectus and as we required more detail it was easy to obtain in a very timely fashion. Dealer Solutions played a key role in making this a very smooth transaction.”

Steve Landry, CEO, AutoCanada Inc

Owen Sound Volkswagen

“On behalf of my brothers and myself, I wanted to thank you, Arthur, and the entire team at Dealer Solutions for the assistance you provided our family with the sale of Owen Sound Volkswagen. Selling any dealership can be challenging enough, but having to meet specific criteria for four brothers is unique to say the least. Thanks to your efforts, brother John is happily moving into retirement; brother Jeff is purchasing his own company; and Barry and I will continue as junior investors in the business. Barry is excited to continue on as the General Manager and will be joined by his new partners, Patti and Peter Rossbaum. It has been a privilege to have owned a Volkswagen Dealership for the past 13 years; and your help in transitioning the business to the Rossbaum family was a perfect “Dealer Solution” for both families”.

We had multiple solid offers in short order and found the perfect buyer. They specialize in all aspects of the process including the detailed due diligence.

Listowel City Ford

“Arthur and Farid helped me sell my Ford store in 2016. I was located in a smaller community and knew it would be hard to sell and keep it confidential at the same time. They went out of the way to find a buyer from a different market that would get approved and close. The whole way thru the process they were professional and worked hard to make sure there were no bumps in the road. I would highly recommend Dealer Solutions to anyone thinking about buying or selling a dealership”.

Casey Bast, Past Dealer Principal, Listowel City Ford

“I have had the pleasure of completing three acquisitions through Dealer Solutions over the past three years. As the President f a growing dealer group time is of the essence.

Kelowna Toyota

“During the autumn of 2015, we contacted Dealer Solutions and was guided to Arthur, we had a tall order. We needed to get our business evaluated within a very limited time frame. Their team provided us with a very efficient evaluation package completing step one. Arthur kindly made the trip to Kelowna to assist us personally with the selection process of buyers, however the last steps were left to us. Since we lacked this type of experience we found Arthur to be most helpful, always available for each step. In May 2016, we completed our sale. We would recommend Dealer Solutions to any purchaser or seller in any part of a dealership acquisition”.

Jack Kofoed, Past Dealer Principal, Kelowna Toyota

LaPointe Auto Group

“I recently sold my family businesses which included six dealerships that I had owned for 20 years. Dealer Solutions Canada helped me through the entire process. Farid and Arthur were great.

I highly recommend the Dealer Solutions team if you are considering selling your dealership(s). You won’t regret it.”

Rendez-vous Hyundai

“Daniel had approached me to sell his store and we could not come to a deal so before I knew it he had hired Dealer Solutions Canada to represent him. I met with Farid and Arthur and laid out my rational and reasoning surrounding what I was prepared to offer. They took the time to break down the business opportunity that Daniel had for sale. They showed me where my rational was not only incorrect, but where I had possibly been a little too harsh about the offer. I was surprised how long the approval process took, however the Dealer Solutions Canada assisted in getting the approval from Hyundai and helped to get the deal closed. Dealer Solutions Canada has a very professional acquisitions team. If you are thinking of selling I highly recommend you speak with them.”

Donald McClure, Dealer Principal, McClure Toyota

“I saw the Dealer Solutions Canada ad in Automotive News and I was very sceptical that they could help me sell because my store is located in a very rural French speaking town in New Brunswick. Instead of contacting Dealer Solutions I tried to sell it on my own. Very quickly I realized I needed a professional firm to assist me. Farid and Arthur took the time to visit, meet with me and and got to know my town and the dynamics of my market. It took longer that I had hoped however they ensured the deal got across the finish line and they dealt with all the concerns at the manufacturer. To ensure the approval happened. Should you be contemplating a sale, I would highly recommend you take the first step and meet the team at Dealer Solutions Canada.”

Daniel Levesques, Past Dealer Principal, Rendez-vous Hyundai

McLaughlin Chrysler

“When we first embarked on the path to sell our family business which we took over, we had concerns as to how the transaction would be handled and we wanted to ensure our family got a fair price for the thirty plus years of our investment. After meeting the team from Dealer Solutions Canada we felt more comfortable and confident that we would be able to sell our dealership at a fair price and with as little of hassle as possible. They handled everything from beginning to end. If we need assistance with anything they were there. Owning a family business in a small town had its challenges when it came to finding a qualified buyer and at times we were worried if we would ever sell our dealership. However, Farid and Arthur found us the perfect buyers who were familiar with our market. We would not hesitate in recommending Dealer Solutions Canada to any dealer who finds themselves as the same situation we were.”

David McLaughlin, Past Dealer Principal, McLaughlin Chrysler 

Cambridge Mitsubishi

“The both of you were instrumental in helping me acquire two stores over the past year and I wanted to say thank you. You profiled and located the ideal store in both cases, while the first transaction went smoothly the second did not which at no point was a result of your efforts. Once the dust settled you very quick to act and put that second deal back together which in looking back was a far better deal for me than the original transaction contemplated. Gentlemen you truly hustle and I really appreciate your tenacity for getting the job done. I would recommend Dealer Solutions Canada to any dealer that is looking to sell or buy a dealership.”

Tony Delgobbo, Dealer Principal, Cambridge Mitsubishi

“I wanted to write to you in order to express my thanks and appreciation for the work that you and Farid did on behalf of myself and Cambridge Mitsubishi. I have bought and sold many stores in the last 20 years and I have to say it was a much easier and professional process. From the beginning to the end you looked after many details often following up with either side to ensure we got to a closed transaction as quickly as possible. Once again, thank you.”

“As a new comer to Toronto, I was unfamiliar with the market and dealership I was considering. Dealer Solutions Canada had a great wealth of resource and assistance in understanding West Toronto KIA. Additionally, I was provided local contacts to help me transition into the new store smoothly. Arthur Madjarian was always knowledgeable and available to my questions and requests. Without the service Dealer Solutions provided, my family would not be where we are today. Given the opportunity again, I would not hesitate to contacted them. Thank you Arthur and Farid!”

I would recommend the professional services of Dealer Solutions to any Dealer who is thinking of making a change with their portfolio.”

Gabriel Da Silva, Past Dealer, West Toronto KIA

St. Clair Nissan

“I would like to acknowledge the team at Dealer Solutions Canada for their commitment and professionalism as experienced during our recent transaction in acquiring our most recent dealership. Our normal process was to handle any transaction ourselves from start to finish. This new experience allowed us to view the deal from a different perspective. Most importantly their experience having closed multiple deals gives them the ability to offer alternatives. They are not seen as the adversary whereas some sellers may misinterpret the purchaser’s intentions or they may simply see the purchaser as aggressive. Whatever the impression there now exits a buffer that can be critical in any negotiation process. They also have an opportunity in assisting the new operator with finding potential staff and helping those exiting the sold store as well. “

Mark Falkenberg, Dealer Principal, Willowdale Nissan and Infiniti

“When we decided to look at the possibility of selling our dealership, we initially talked to some prospects that the factory had introduced us to. Once we met Farid and Arthur of Dealer Solutions Canada we quickly realized that we could benefit from their experience, professionalism and industry contacts. They provided a structured approach that allowed us to consider more pre-qualified prospects that we were confident would, and did, complete a very business like, straight forward buy/sell. We highly recommend talking to Dealer Solutions Canada if you are considering selling your dealership.”

Orangeville VW

“I have been a dealer for over 42 years and it was very hard to come to the decision to sell our family business. I thought this would be a challenging, difficult and stressful transaction given the years I have operated the business. My main goal was to keep this strictly and completely confidential once I made the decision to sell I wanted a fast, clean and discreet sale.Arthur and Farid were particularly supportive and understanding. They delivered what they promised in the beginning and I sold the dealership much faster than I had even hoped for. If anybody is considering selling their dealership they have to use the team at Dealer Solutions Canada. They are ‘car people’ and understand my business and worked hard to uncover hidden profit opportunities to help me yield a fair price.”

As you can imagine this was a difficult decision but from our first meeting I knew I had selected the right company to sell my dealership. Your process from beginning to end was outstanding. Your attention to detail and professionalism are the reasons this sale felt painless. Having you on my team helped me understand the offers that we received and it was amazing how you handled some very difficult decisions. I knew selling a Ford Dealership would not be hard but I am surprised as to the number of offers you brought to me to consider. I did belong to a dealer 20 group who I remain very close to, I can assure you that if any of my fellow dealers are thinking of selling their dealership I will highly recommend Dealer Solutions Canada.Once again, thank you.”

“My partner and I, Katie Naughton, recently purchased 401 Dixie through Dealer Solutions Canada who was the selling agent.I would like to strongly recommend Farid Ahmad of Dealer Solutions Canada for his level of knowledge, professionalism, dedication and honesty that we experienced throughout the entire process. I had used Farid for other services over the years and this was my first and hopefully not last time buying a dealership. It was a challenging process filled with lots of up’s and down’s but Farid remained positive and determined to get us the deal. Being in the automotive customer service business for over 25 years, Katie and I understand and expect a high level of service given the money involved in such a transaction.

They were very detailed on creating a package explaining my dealership. They vetted potential candidates so I only spoke to those who could not only have funding but could also get approved by the manufacturer. I highly recommend Dealer Solutions Canada to anyone who may be thinking about selling their dealership.”

“I am not accustom in writing testimonials but I felt compelled to write this one. I have been a new car dealer for over 20 years and in that time I have worked with a number of advisors. Working with the team at DSC has been a great experience. I have now purchased my third through them. In an industry where some people want to make a fast buck any way they can, it’s great to know that a professional organisation like DSC is in the Canadian market. Farid and Arthur are two people who are completely transparent in the way they operate. They work extremely hard and I have always found them to be ethical.

Ste-Marie Automobiles

“After receiving several calls from people who wanted to inquire about the availability of our dealership, we met Ms. Manon Messier of DSMA.

Manon offered us to complete a valuation of the company without pressure or commitment on our part.

When we decided to go ahead with the sale, Manon supported and guided us throughout the process by letting us benefit from her expertise in the sale of automobile franchises. Manon showed great professionalism and availability because at times we had almost daily exchanges. We have come to see her more as a partner than a broker and have developed a great bond with her.

Everything was concluded to the satisfaction of both parties.

So, if you are thinking of selling your dealership, I strongly recommend that you call Manon Messier from DSMA. ”

Ronsonet Buick GMC

“I met Bill Fields two years ago when he stopped by the store as I was walking out the door

headed for a local business luncheon. He only had time to give me his company brochure and I figured I would never see him again.

Two weeks later he was back at the dealership and this time he introduced himself and how

Dealer Solutions can help a dealer locate buyers for their dealership and maximize its value. I had considered selling for some time but wanted someone to simplify the process and keep me informed the entire time from listing to closing.

Bill said he would be working for me and I have to admit he lived up to his word. Throughout the process from finding prospects to negotiating the sale to working with the lawyers and all the way to closing, Bill was on top of the details and tirelessly working on my behalf.

I am more than glad to recommend Bill Fields if you are thinking of selling your dealership. You won’t find anyone who will work harder or smarter for you.”

Norbie Ronsonet, former owner of Ronsonet Buick-GMC

“Bill Fields and Dealer Solutions Mergers and Acquisitions worked with me on the purchase of my second dealership.

I am more than happy to recommend them for both buyers and sellers.   Bill was professional and always available to answer questions and diligently work with both sides to smoothly facilitate the transaction.

Bill and DSMA are definitely a combination that I would look forward to working with again on the purchase of my next dealership.”
