Jim Wilson Chevrolet Buick GMC
“I have known Lev for a number of years. When Lev approached me regarding Jim Wilson Chevrolet and my possible interest in selling; I knew he had a serious buyer. DSMA and their team completed an extremely thorough valuation of my dealership and presented me with the opportunity to open discussions with a potential purchaser. I had three specific demands that I laid out previously:
- A qualified purchaser ( financially and approvability)
- Confidentiality
- Ease of transaction.
Lev and DSMA came through and brought me a very qualified purchaser; and the team at Canada One were fantastic to work with. DSMA has instituted a process and people; specifically, Wendy Durward to simplify the transaction and assist in the process. Once the LOI was completed, it allow for a smooth transaction and closing. Most impressive to me was the fact that DSMA made a promise of confidentiality and truly kept it.
I want to thank everyone who has assisted in the sale of my dealership; I want to thank Pat Priestner and his team and thank Lev and Farid and the team at DSMA for coming through when they said they would.”

Velde Buick GMC
” After 45 years in the automotive business and 34 years as an owner of Velde Cadillac Buick GMC, I decided it was time to retire the business and let the legacy continue. When we met with DSMA and Jennifer Rafael, I knew we would be in good hands. Jennifer Rafael understood our request and provided the M & A knowledge during the process and demonstrated professionalism and confidentiality. Selling a dealership can be pretty daunting with some potential bumps along the way, but the level of guidance, support and compassion from Jennifer & DMSA was greatly appreciated and extremely effective during this emotional journey.
